H.I.M

"Are you sure you're ok?" She asks for about the hundredth time

"Jaz I'm fine" I say amused

"But you're hand says otherwise" My best friend says with disgust

I roll my eyes, "How many times am I gonna have to repeat. I'm ok, really-

"Ok well you said you'd be here in an hour..... that was more than an hour"

"Yeah well I got held up" I say innocently

My best friend scoffs, "Doing what?"

I shrug as she gets into bed beside me, "I saw someone"

Jasmine narrows her eyes, "You saw Khalil"

I scrunch my nose with disgust, "Hell no..... someone else"

She gasps with realisation, "Benz boy?!"

I roll my eyes, "His name is Treyton"

"Oh so we like him now do we?" Jaz teases

"Never said that"

I can see the look that she's giving me from the corner of my eye, eventually I turn my head to the side. "Ok he's maybe he's fine.... But just a little"

My best friend squeals excitedly and I look at her weirdly, "J relax-

"Are you kidding? You set your pride aside, this requires an automatic celebration"

I then frown as she reaches underneath her bed for her secret stash of drinks, "Seriously?"

She shrugs, "It's my anointed whiskey"

I snort, "Anoited my ass"

Jasmine shuffles back against the headboard, "I'm sure God won't mind if we celebrate"

It's times like these where I'm thankful for my best friend, I don't know what I'd do without her at all. No matter what fucked up shit I'm going through I know I can always come here, it's literally my second home. Although it feels more like my actual one.

Marty actually sent me a few texts, all of which I ignored, I've already decided that I'll face the consequences of not going home tomorrow. And besides..... I've already felt his full wrath before, another few bruises won't hurt right?

Today I decided on having my hair out but God only knows if I'll regret it later on. But 4b hair has it pros....sometimes. Anyway today we're headed to the beach, Jasmine and I are both in a pair of shorts, she's got on a bikini top whilst I've got on a swimsuit.

"I'm just saying, a little heads up would've been nice" I say whilst chewing on a cucumber stick

She shuts the fridge, "No. if I told you then you would've backed out-

I scoff, "Yeah cause I don't wanna third wheel"

I was only notified this morning about the guy Jasmine met recently and how he'll be at the beach, "You're not gonna third wheel. Zuri's coming-

"Like that makes it any better" I mutter

Jasmine picks up her keys, "Stop whining and get in the car"

I pout as she drags me by the hand, "Bye dad!" She then calls out

Throughout the half an hour car ride Jaz had to put up with me complaining, I mean don't get me wrong I love her but third wheeling is absolutely horrible. I've never ever made her do that when I was dating Khalil because I know it sucks, "Honestly he's kind of funny, you may even like him" My best friend shrugs

I shut the door of the car, "Unlikely"

"Well he'll be here any time soon and so will Zuri so I'd appreciate it if you could be positive and remove the RBF"
