Pushing his headphones off his ears and onto his shoulders, Devonte sighs out in frustration at the sight of his workplace. A stupid fast food place that he’s stuck at, getting a miserable pay after putting in hours.

Serving others is what his family and he have been doing ever since he can remember himself. Mom working as a caregiver, father as a delivery driver, thankfully his sister has broken the cycle and become a doctor.

Making Devonte just feel like the black sheep of the family. The one that has failed, the one that has not made a name for himself.

His dark brown eyes fall onto the open doors to the McDonald’s he has spent working in ever since graduation. He can’t even believe that he has only got three promotions ever since. So unfair.

Running his hand through his twists and stepping inside the place that always seems to smell like fries, he makes his way to the kitchen. Begging yet another tiring and boring shift.

Hours later, having finally finished his shift, even after taking an hour on top because of his colleague getting to work late, Devonte walks out of this hell hole.

Hands in his pockets with his hood on, having some Frank Ocean blast in his ears through his headphones, he walks down the empty streets to his home. Night lamps highlighting his tall and lean frame.

Taking out his phone and checking the time, he sighs at the realisation that it’s almost two am, before opening his music app and scrolling through his playlist.

All of a sudden he feels someone bump into him, annoyance suddenly flaring inside of him as the last thing he needs is for his phone to drop on the damn concrete.

“Man, watch where you going!”

He says irritatedly before his dark brown beautiful eyes fall onto {{user}}.. his breath hitching. Regretting his harsh approach immediately.
