Gugu: I'm so glad that you're back.

She says while pulling me in for a hug.

Yammy: Don't worry about me. I wasn't going to go out that easily.

I laugh faintly.

Gugu: That's the spirit! Uhm...about what happened...

Yammy: I don't want to talk about it. I'm fine and ready to get up on my feet again.

She sighs.

Yammy: Trust me babe. I'm getting there, especially with Lufuno by my side, I have no choice.

We both start tearing up.

Gugu: He's literally been by your side from the get go. He truly loves you.

Gio: Woah am I interrupting something?

Yammy: No come in you fool!

Gio: What? What did i do now?

Yammy: I woke up like what ? A few days ago and you're only coming to see me now? Your best friend? Your favourite cousin? Gio your ride or die!

I tease him. He stands there looking down scratching his head.

Yammy: Both of you, what kept you away?

They both look at each other well almost stare for a moment. Am I missing something?

Gio: I'm sorry I was just caught up with something...

Yammy: Don't tell me you're up to your hoe ways.

Gugu sucks in a breathe.

Gio: I mean can you blame me? A niggas gotta...

Yammy: Gio man. I'm serious.

Gio: I was doing some business this side.

Yammy: Okay now the truth.

Gio: Okay look, I heard that you went crazy for a moment there.

He clears his throat and steals a glance at Gugu then looks at me.

Gio: That you were giving everyone the silent treatment so i figured that i'd come see you once someone knocked some sense into you.

He shrugs his shoulders.

Yammy: Mxm come here.

We share a long hug.

Gugu: I'll see you later babe okay?

She sounds so down.

Gio: I'm right behind you bebita. (Baby girl)

Gugu: No. I know my way thank you very much.

Gio: You're crazy, I'm coming with you and you're going to tell me what's bothering you.

I watch these two.
