"Well not really," I say while rinsing the toothpaste off my retainers, one by one.

"He still on yo ass about moving?" Aaliyah says while laughing.

"Of course he is."

"Well this sounds like the beginning of the end," She jokes.

"Don't say that, I genuinely like Shaio. I mean he's sweet, he actually listens to me, and he actually doesn't cheat. This just a bump in the road."

"Oop- that was definitely a Bando stray."

"Maybe, but let's move on, I don't want to talk about him."

"Girl it's been two years and you still holding that against him?"

"Yes? That nigga gave me eternal trust issues. When I first met Shaio I had that nigga begging for my trust," I joke.

"Bro you needa come to the Tz, we miss you."

"And I do not miss yall," I begin jokingly, making Aaliyah roll her eyes.

If it wasn't for Aaliyah and DThang I would never step foot back at that complex.

"Today at 5, we can chill at my apartment."

"Why? You got sumn goin' on?"

"No I just miss you sis, haven't seen you in like a month."

"Fine, I'll come."

"Oh, and bring the Casamigos girl, we gotta get lit as fuckkk."

"Hell nah, you tweaked twin," I laugh. My phone starts to vibrate and I look down to see Shaio calling me.

"Aye Li, I'ma call you back, sbook callin' me." I mumble while looking down at my screen.

"Aight twin, text me when you on your way okay?"

"Aight, I love-"

"DON'T FORGET THE 'MIGOS GIRL," She blurts out, cutting me off.

I laugh hysterically, "I won't girl, love you."

"Love you too babes."

I look back down at my phone and click 'hang up and answer'. I see Shaio, dreads in his face as always, smiling at the camera.

"Hey, love." He says cheesing hard as hell.

"Hey baby, how are you?"

"I miss you."

I chuckle "Boy you saw me yesterday."

"It's a new day love," He beamed. I look down at the camera to see him kicking his feet in the air.

"Why you kicking your feet bro? Be a man," I say jokingly.

"So a nigga can't be happy to talk to his girl?"

"You shouldn't be kicking your feet in the air," I point at the camera with my toothbrush.

"Now give me a second," I say. I put a new layer of toothpaste on the brush and start brushing my teeth.

"Come over, ma."

I hold my finger up at the screen and scrub fast as hell before finally spitting out the toothpaste and rinsing my mouth.

"As you were saying?" I say while rinsing off my toothbrush.

"Come over. Pleaseeeeeee-"

"Be a man."

"Not you cutting me off."

"Not you stealing my lingo."

We burst out laughing at the same time.
