she sighed before getting up, walking over to the vanity i was sitting at, looking in the mirror.

she scooted me over, sitting besides me on the long chair lining the table.

she laid her head on my shoulder, "you want me to honest ja?" she says, looking at me through the mirror.

i nod my head silently, 

"personally, i feel like, even though things may not be as it seems right now, taking a little bit of space at the moment. especially if he broke your trust in that moment. we know y'all are gonna talk it out... get to know the truth and whatnot, but in the meantime, take this time to find out what you want for yourself, okay?" she says, laying her hand on top of mine.

"i'on know mani.. that shit really through me off when he didn't even show the texts, nor tell me why." i say shrugging, not being able to let anymore tears come out.

"did you ask yourself, do YOU believe he would cheat?" amani says , picking her head up.

"i don't know. who sacrifices all this money on someone just to put it all in jeapordy, you feel me?" i say, turning my head towards her.

"that's the same thing im saying, nini doesn't think like that though, she see's shit as what it is put out as , no digging deeper, no meaning, just the action." amani adds, shrugging her shoulders.

"drake been talking about it?" i say, curioustity getting the best of me.

"yea-huh girl, everyday ' aysja needa come home bro this nigga xavier starting to piss me offf baeee '" she says, mocking drakes voice , causing me to lightly chuckle.

"seriously though girl, don't go back into it without knowing you're comfortable 100 percent. don't throw this long ass relationship away without a fight." she says, holding my shoulder.

i nod, agreeing with her.

she sighs deeply, before standing up, slipping on her crocs and grabbing her keys.

"aight friend. i gotta go, business calls. take some time to yourself, okay?" she says walking up to me, kissing my cheek, receiving an i love you in return.

i hear the front door slide open, and shut before i let my breath out, my shoulder immediately dropping.

i look in the mirror for a few minutes.
