“I’ll pay you back” I say as Bane hands over a handful of cash to the woman at the register at Walmart. 

“I don’t want your money.” He says. 

“Well I don’t want yours either. So now what?” I ask and his lips curve slightly. 

“Now, you let me win this one and let me buy my girl what she needs.” He says and smiles at the cashier who is giving him an adoring smile and she looks at me and smiles a bit wider. 

“It’s his love language honey.” She says putting in her two cents , and I don’t mind. She’s older and she’s sweet. 

“Let the boy pay.” She says as she bags the items. 

“Thank you Marjorie” Bane says and lifts his chin and he reaches around me pulling me to his side.  

Marjorie , as her name tag says smiles and nods and hands Bane his change and we take the multiple bags packed with things like pads and tampons, underwear and bras , a new tooth brush and other things. 

We’d stopped at the thrift store first so I could get some clothes, I refused Banes suggestion of taking me to the mall. I wasn’t going to spend twenty dollars or more on a shirt or leggings when I could get five or six for the same price at the thrift store. Even if it wasn’t my money being spent , I wasn’t going to waste it.  Then we’d stopped at Walmart and gotten me other things I needed along with a new pair of sneakers. 

They’re the first thing I pull out , along with a pack of socks and Bane watches me as I pull off my ratty sneakers and dirty socks and the pull on my new socks. 

“Youre smiling like a little kid in a candy store” he says and I stop and feel the pull of my lips. 

“It’s….” I pause and flush with a bit of embarrassment. 

“This is my first pair of brand new sneakers…I’ve never had new sneakers. They’ve always been from the thrift.” I say and he smiles at me. 

“Well thank you for letting me buy them and be the reason for that smile Blackbird” he says and bite my lip I look at him. 

“Well.  Put them on Blackbird” he says and I smile wider and I slip on the sneakers.  They’re nothing special. They’re plain black and cheap , but they’re clean and the laces aren’t dirty or thin and worn out. 

I feel a knot in my throat as I tie the laces , and tears slip down my cheeks as I look at my feet and Bane reaches over and rubs my back as I cry silently and swipe my cheeks. 

“Thank you” I sniffle. 

“You’re welcome Blackbird” he says and I lift my eyes to him. 

“Not just for the sneakers. Thank you for making that bet with me. Thank you for winning that race.” I say as I think about the fact I could have very well denied his flirting and chalked him up entirely for just a rich asshole that was like Derrick and all the others. 

“Best thing I ever did was make that bet.” He says and I smile and lean over and look at him. 

“I’m crazy about you and I barely know you” I exhale and he smiles. 

“Feeling is very , very, fucking mutual Blackbird” he says and kisses me softly. 

“Let’s go get something to eat, and then I want to stop at a few places and then take you home and kiss you till our lips hurt.” He says and I smile and nod. 

“I’d like that” I say softly and he smiles and kisses me softly again.

We ate lunch at a small cafe , and hand fancy sandwiches which probably Weren’t fancy at all to most people  , and now we’re standing in a cell phone store and Bane is telling me to pick out a phone. 

I know he’s not going to let up. And I don’t mind his reasoning for wanting me to have a phone so I don’t fight too much on it until he refuses to let me get a prepaid phone. 

“Pick from These ones” he says point to the cases with smart phones. 

“I don’t need a smart phone” I say. 

“Yes you do” he says and I just look at him and narrow my eyes. 

“How else are you going to look at my handsome face when I’m not next to you? You need a phone that lets you take pictures and send them to me so I can see your pretty face.” He says and I can’t help but smile. 

“So I need a phone, for the sake of our vanity? NOT for calls?” I ask. 

“Mmhm” he nods and then points the black iPhone. 

“She’ll take that one” He tells the guy behind the counter and he nods and starts to grab a box from Under the counter.

“What if I want the pink one?” I ask Bane 

His brow lifts. “Then I’ll start calling you PinkBird”

“Don’t you dare.” I narrow my eyes and he smiles and leans down. 

“I love Blackbird”I say with little whimper. 

“I know you do” he says and kisses my cheek and I grab his arm and hold myself To his side. 

“You want the pink one?” He asks. I lift my eyes to him and smile. 

“No Bane. I don’t” I say and he laughs slightly. 

The guy sets up the phone and twenty minutes later we’re leaving the store and for the first time ever I have a cellphone. 

I program his number first. Then Wills and Xavier’s and few other people from West falls that I consider friends. 

“That’s crazy” he says. And I lift my head and he’s watching my fingers on the screen. 

“What is?” I ask 

“That you know all those numbers by heart” he says and I laugh. 

“We’ll. I kinda had to remember them. I didn’t have a fancy computer phone to memorize them for me.  Thank you again.” I say and he smiles and nods. 

We sit there as he downloads a few different apps for me and some games and then he lets me take a picture of us together for my background and he does the same with his. 

I feel giddy for the first time in a long time. Taking pictures with a boy that I liked for the first time. Doing things normal girls my age do. 

He watches me as I program his name into my phone. 

“Nah” he says as I type Bane as his name 

He takes my phone. 

“What?” I laugh as he edits it and then hands it back to me. 

“My man?” I ask. 

“Mhm” he says and I smirk at him. 

“Are you? my man?” I ask. 

“The fuck else would I be? “ he asks. 

“I dunno, scnookhums, gumdrop maybe?” I tease. 

“I can be those too. But I’m your man first and foremost” he says and my toes curl in my shoes. 

“So we’re boyfriend and girlfriend?” I wiggle my brows. 

“Definitely” he says and grin. 

“Not even gonna ask me?” I ask and he looks at me. 

“Can I be your boyfriend Blackbird?” He asks and I smile. 

“So nice of you to ask” I say and the corner of his mouth lifts. 

“Yeah. I guess you can be my boyfriend” I say as our eyes stay locked and he leans over. 

“You guess huh?” He asks and his voice gives a low rumble.

“Mhm” I hum and he looks at my lips. 

“Take me back to your place Bane my lips want to hurt” I say and he groans. 

“Yeah , we need to take care of that mouth” he says. 

“Mmhm” I hum and he groans. 

“you’re so beautiful” he says and I smile. 

“So are you” I say and lean in further and kiss him softly and we both smile against each other’s mouths. 

“Take me home Bane.” I whisper. 

“On it Blackbird” he says. Stealing one more kiss and then driving back to his house.
