What I Learned In L.A. (Sequel to What I learned at Hope Springs)

Explanation

Brittany

Michael woke me up by kissing my forehead then my lips. I smiled and stretched my arms out. "Morning." I said. "Good morning beautiful." He said pulling me on top of him. "Mikey let me go brush my teeth." I said covering my mouth. He laughed at me and let me go. It was the weekend and that meant no work for us. I showered and brushed my teeth, afterwards I walked into the room with the towel around me. "Wanna go grab some breakfast?" Michael asked. "I don't care." I said walking into the closest to find something to wear.

I scanned the closet and pulled out a tee shirt Chris brought me, it had some kind of weird picture on it that reminded me of his paintings. I can't believe I hadn't heard from him in like 2 months. He just up and stopped calling me. I sighed pulling the tee shirt out of the closet. I wanted to wear it but it would probably make me sad. I pulled some jeans out, and after putting my underwear on I slipped the jeans on. "Michael have you heard from Chris?" I know he had to, they worked together." "Uh yea, why?" He asked. "Cause I haven't. Is he okay?" "Yea he's fine baby." Micheal said coming in the closet with me. I decided to wear the tee shirt after all, I slipped it on over my head.

I walked out the closet going into the bathroom to pull my braids up into a bun, then returned to the closet to get my red Converses. "How about Denny 's?" Micheal asked. "I don't care." I said shrugging my shoulders. I grabbed my purse and we left. "Maybe we should invite Chris and Jasmine." I suggested. "Babe, can we spend some together? You know Chris don't always have to be around." Micheal said as we climbed in the car. I gave him the side eye, "um, I haven't seen or spoken to him in two months, so what's your point?"

"Britt Bratt, it's not that serious. I mean if you haven't noticed, since Chris and you have been separated you're doing better in therapy, you haven't had any episodes, you barely have to take your medicine." "Separated? Did you have anything to do with this, did you tell Chris to stop talking to me or something." He didn't answer,and that just made me more upset. "I'm inviting them, I don't care." I pulled my phone out dialing Chris.

Chris

"Man stop bae, you too big for that." I laughed as Jasmine was trying to climb on my back. She was too pregnant for all that. She finally tired herself out and sat down on the couch. "Babe, I'm hungry." She whined. "Come on let's go get food." I said putting on my shoes. She slid off the couch struggling to get up. I laughed at her, She got so huge these past 2 months. She went upstairs to change into some real clothes, so I sat back on the couch. I stared at my screen lock photo of Brittany and me, wonder what she's been up too. Can't believe she didn't contact me none of this time. I sighed, I missed her ass.

I sat my phone on the table and as soon as I did it rang. I looked at the screen and Brittany face popped up. I hurried and answered."Yo, Britt Bratt." I was excited. "Don't you, yo Britt Bratt me, where you been the pass 2 months?" I giggled, "same place you been nigga." She laughed. "Man I miss you." "Miss you too B." I said back. "So what you doing?" "Going to Denny 's did you eat breakfast yet?" "Nah." I said, "I'm gonna come up there." "Okay." I hung up the phone, I was so excited to even talk to her, let alone see her. Jasmine finally came downstairs.

"Going to Denny 's." I told her. "Ewww, no let's get IHOP. I hate Denny 's pancakes." "Right, you, not me come on we're going to Denny 's." I said grabbing her hand and leading her outside to the car. "Babe really you pouted the entire way here?" I smiled. She was such a baby. "I'm not eating this." She said poking her lip out. "Childish ass won't eat then." I said laughing, and getting out the car. She sucked her teeth and climbed out. We walked in and I scanned the building once I saw Brittany I walked over. "You're not waiting?" "We don't have to." I said to Jasmine. "Chris!" Brittany yelled as soon as she saw me. She hopped up giving me a hug.

"Britt Bratt." "So this is why I couldn't get IHOP." Jasmine said, with a attitude. "We haven't ordered yet we can go to IHOP." Micheal said. "No, what's wrong with y'all? Can't y'all just stay away from each other, this is ridiculous. Micheal how do you even accept how close they are!" By now Brittany, me, and Micheal were just staring at Jasmine along with all the other patrons in the restaurant.

"What's your problem?" "Y'all fuckin." She said, y'all gotta be, I never seen anything like this before." "Calm the fuck down. Is that why you told me to give her fucking space, huh? You think we fucking?" "Yea, I do, and you're a fucking liar if you say you're not." I grabbed her arm, "I swear to Jesus, I will fix this lil attitude of yours if you dont right now." I growled in her face. "Chris you're hurting me." Jasmine said. I didn't care about that shit, She clearly lost her mind. Brittany touched my arm and I let go. "Wow." She said with tears in her eyes.

"Look, let's just have a seat and get some food." Micheal said. Jasmine slid into the booth, I slid in after her. "Jasmine, we're not doing anything." Brittany said. "Don't explain shit to her." I said through clenched teeth. "Sweetie calm down, its not that serious." Brittany said. She was only concerned about Jasmine's feelings because she was pregnant and I really didn't care.

Micheal

I looked over at Jasmine who was crying. I mean she wouldn't stop crying. "Jas, can you stop crying I mean you can't accuse them of having some secret relationship, you know It's not true. " I said. "Shut up Micheal." She said looking up at me. "Don't you dare patronize me, because you hate it when they're alone, every time you find them in the same bed you freak out. You the one who convinced Chris to stay away from Brittany." Now she was telling everything. I dropped my head. "Really Micheal?" "Brittany said. She climbed out of the booth. "Wow Jasmine really." I said. I went after Brittany. Before I knew it I was outside with Chris next to me. This nigga really don't care that he gotta girl in there that's being emotional.

"Chris Bruh, get your priorities straight man. Go comfort Jasmine, I got this." He sucked his teeth going back inside. "So you had a problem with us being so close, oh but don't tell me tell Jasmine. Seriously Micheal." Brittany said. "Babe, I didn't mean anything by it, I mean I don't know why I get upset when I see y'all together, I just do." "Why Micheal? I love you, I won't hurt you." "Baby, I know that, I'm just insecure. You're so beautiful." She walked to me, "I didn't know we affected you or Jasmine like that." I brought her into my chest, kissing her forehead. "I'm sorry." "Why don't we get some fresh food, and just go home." "You sure?" "Yea." "You wanna talk to Chris first?" "Yea." We went back inside and sat in the booth.

"Chris listen." She started off, "you know I love you to death, and these past two months I've missed you. I thought you didn't want anything to do with me anymore." "Britt Bratt, I'm sorry, I was just trying to make everybody happy, but now I don't care, fuck what they think." "Chris We gotta create some boundaries, how about we pick a day out of the week where we just spend time together, catch up on everything." She suggested. "Would you be okay with that?" She asked. He sighed, "yea,we could do that. But we can't ever miss a day, no matter what." "Deal." She said. We're gonna go." Chris said. Picking up the to go boxes off the table. "I'm sorry you guys." Jasmine said to us as she slid out of the booth. We hugged them both and they left. Once we reordered our meals we left too.
