9:24 P.M


I was sitting in my room playing Crash Bandicoot. I told Vi how much i liked the game so she ended up buying it for me. I didn't think she would do something that nice for me but I am grateful for it. I was playing the first game and man it really was kicking my ass. I never played a platformer so this is something new. While I was playing my phone started to ring. I looked at it and my heart raced. Vi was calling me. I paused the game and answered the phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Yo." She said back.

"How are you Vi?"

"I'm good baby. How you?" God i am already feeling butterflies.

"I am good Vi. Why are you calling?"

"Why? Do I need a reason to call you?"

"N-no..."

"What if I just want to hear yo voice?" She is so smooth.

"U-uhhh..."

"I bet I got you blushin' right now. Anyway what you doin'? Am I interrupting you?"

"No. I was just playing the game."

"What you playin'?"

"Uh, the Crash game you bought me."

"You enjoyin' it?"

"Yes."

"I wanna do that more. I want to spoil you rotten."

"W-Why?"

"Because I can baby."

"I wish I can do the same for you Vi."

"Haha, nah you don't have too. You spoil me by bein' with me, kissin' me, givin' me attention and shit." I do all of that?

"I-I didn't know I-I do that Vi."

"You comin' to my house Sunday?" Fuck... I have church.

"I have to go to church with mom."

"Oh, then I'll make plans next weekend." Damn it, I gotta see her.

"How about when I come home?"

"No. When I make plans I want you the whole day. I don't share days." I love that she knows I am hers. I can't do nothing but respect it. I wouldn't want to share days either.

"Let me ask if I can not go this time."

"Okay." I walked to go ask my mom could I skip church this time but she said no. Instead she asked to see if Vi wanted to go with me.

"You want to go with me? After wards you can have me Sunday... and..." Hmm, I gotta make it seem like she can have me the whole day. "I will spend the night. We can then go to school together." Silence for a few seconds.

"Okay. I'll do it because its for you. Afterwards I want you to promise me that I can have you for the rest of the day and afta school."

"I promise."

"Kay. I am about to get on my PC and play some games. Baby we need to play some games together." Holy fuck is that a dream.

"Like? All I have is a Xbox with like three games. We kinda broke haha."

"I got you. We gone figure that out."

"Cool."

"Talk to you lata baby boy. Good night."

"Good Night Vi."

11:30 A.M


The church wasn't big like the rich ones down town. It was a normal size church, three long aisle with two huge sections for people to seat. The preacher was in front with the choir in the back of him.
My mother was sitting next to me and Vi was sitting on my right. We were watching the preacher do his thing. I looked to my right and Vi kept nodding off. I poked her to keep her up but it wasn't working. I looked back up and the pastor started to walk the aisle where Vi was sleeping. I poked Vi again but this time she batted me away.

"My child, why are you sleeping?"

oh fuck.

Vi didn't respond until he nudged her. Vi snorted out of her sleep and stared at the tall black man. "Are the words of our gods boring you my child?" He said. The look on Vi's face was slowly getting pissed off.

"Nah, it's just early man. Go on with yo speech." Vi answered. The man looked at Vi up and down and spoke to her again.

"Why are you dressed as a man? Are you confused?" Wait, why would he ask that? I thought god loved everyone?

"Yo what the fuck yo sayin'?" Woah... Vi... "I dress like a man because that's what's comfortable." Vi then stood up in the pastors face. "Why you askin'?"

"I am asking because you are confused. Women dress as women because that is how Kayle and our gods visioned it." He explained. He is right.

"Yo do you hear yo self?! I'll be honest I am hea' to support my boyfriend. I don't even believe in this bullshit." I never heard so many gasps in one room. I even gasped. My mother told me everyone believes in God.

"My child, let me enlighten you on why you should have the holy spirit in your body." He said.

"Oh fuck this shit. Bro, you think I didn't go through the same shit? I went to church when I was kid because I thought it would save my life." Vi explained.

"Well god works-" Vi cut him off.

"Fuck that. I was in Zaun-" Now the crowd gasped which cut her off.

"Zaun!? That is a devil's city, it's the same thing as Bandit city. Nothing but Devils there." the man turned around and put his hands in the air. "WE WILL CLEANSE THIS CHILD IN THE NAME OF GOD." He yelled. Vi took a long look at the man and broke out in laughter.

"See this is why I don't believe in shit like this. I think I been hea' long enough." Vi turned around and walked out of the church. I was still in awe on what she said. No one, not even my family spoke to the pastor like that.

"This is why he shouldn't challenge people he doesn't know." My mother said.

"Isn't Vi wrong though?" I asked.

"No. She stood up for what she believes in. He challenged her and got told off." My mother pointed out. I remained silent and waited for service to end.


2:30 P.M


I walked out of church with my mother. Service was great until Vi spoke her mind. "Are you going to spend the night still son?" My mom asked me.

"Yeah. I promised her." I asked. "Can I get my clothes?" My mother nodded yes. I walked to her red car and got my black bag with my clothes in it. I waved good bye to my mom and pulled out my cell phone. I called Vi.

"Yo."

"Are we still hanging out today?" I asked.

"Of course. You finished?" She asked back.

"Yes."

"I'll be thea' in a few minutes. I bought you some food. I kno' you hungry."

I hung up the phone and waited for Vi. Vi pulled up within minutes. I got in her car and we were off. "I stopped by Wendy's and got you a meal. I smiled but it faded away when I thought about what just happened. "Vi what do you believe in?" I asked. "If you don't believe in god, angels, then what?" I asked.

"I'll be honest wit you because I see myself with you for a long time. I anit' no role model, I drink, steal, smoke, I am not a good person by any means." She paused as we stopped at a red light. "I don't believe in a lot of shit. Zodiac signs, fortune tellers, gods, none of that shit." Vi sighed as she turned her wheel to the right. "Look, religion is a scam to me."

A scam?

"Churches, no matta whea you go, are scams. No one knows where you gone go when you die. Just like no one can predict your life. So you listen to a man tell you shit out of a old ass book and then you give him money."

huh...

"Just like santa clause. My sis loved that fat fuck." Wait... Santa isn't real?

"Santa is real Vi." I said. Vi looked at me and laughed.

"Baby I grew up fasta' then you. You probably think the easter bunny is real, monsters in your closet, all that bull shit." Everything she just said is true, I stayed silent. "My sis believed in god too. I told her it was fake, guess what? She didn't believe me. She said god was going to save us while were in Zaun."

She is making so much sense.

"On Christmas she thought santa was going to give us a home or some bull shit. Every Christmas? Nah. We were still in the streets, starvin', fightin', stealin'. She thought that if she prayed we could find our parents. Come to find out that they died afta' we was born. She believed that if we went to church god would help us find a home, friends, all that." She paused for a few seconds then continued.

"We get thea' and the pastors told us that they spoke to god but in reality they tried to rape us and turn us into sex slaves. They took care of us until I put two and two together. All that god shit is fake."

Wow... They been through a lot.

"But imma say this and this is a question I want to ask you. I want you to be honest. You know that if you a christian, you can't fuck befo' marriage right?" She pointed out.

"Yes." I said.

"So, why you wanna fuck me then?" Oh crap...

I couldn't answer. I... damn it.

"Exactly. You human bro. I am human. Look I anit tryin' to make you change beliefs. I want you to like what you like. I make you horny, make you blush, and soon imma make you fall in love with me. You really think you can wait until we married to fuck?" Man... she is telling the truth... "See? You lookin' sad now." I indeed was sad as fuck. "Like I told you from the beginning, I am going to turn your world upside down." We finally reached her house. "You didn't eat yo food? It's probably cold now."

I looked down at the Wendy's bag then looked at her. "I can warm it up. I am just lost in my thoughts." Vi gave a small smile and took my lips with hers.

"Come inside and let's have some fun. It's been a weird day baby."

It has. It really has been a weird day.
