•Moe POV•
"Bestie I need somewhere to stay" Angel wrapped her arms around my waist
"What happened"
"M-Me and Briel h-had a fight so I l-left" She broke down even more
"Stop talking and catch your breath" I instructed. I got her two heavy suitcases placing them next to the sofa
"I thought I heard An- I'll be in the room" Jelani turned around speeding back to our room. She knows this isn't my strong point yet she left me here to console her
"You think you can finish telling me without crying?"
"I think so" She lifted her head from my lap "Briel scheduled an appointment at the fertility doctor after I specifically said I don't want another kid until we're married. When I confronted her about it she tried to make me look like the bad guy and now I'm here" She explained holding back tears
"You can stay as long as you want. I'll get someone to fight her" I whispered the last part. I know Jelani ear hustling
"Why would I let you do that?" Angel snickered threw sniffs
"Take your bags to the guest room and I'll bring you hot chocolate"
"With marshmallows?"
"An entire bag if you prefer that"
"You're just the sweetest sometimes"'
I helped carry her luggage then went to the kitchen to make her hot chocolate. Soon Jelani entered looking all innocent.
"Spill" She demanded sitting on the island
"Briel said fuck Angel and went to the fertility doctor after Angel told her she believes they should wait until marriage to have another demon child. She flipped the script on Angel and now my best friend is our temporary roommate"
"She didn't say fuck Angel you said that" She scowled me
I shrugged "That's pretty much what she implied"
"I'm going to call Briel"
"You will not" I slightly slammed the hot chocolate down
"Why can't I call Bri?"
"Briel is a manipulator. This isn't the first time they've argued because she went against Angel and then played the victim. I'll be damned if I watch Angel apologize this time"
"Don't talk shit about Briel" She warned
"Why not it's the fucking truth"
"Angel still in a relationship with her so it isn't that deep"
"Angel loves her and Malaiya too much to leave. Everyone has a breaking point and this is the beginning if Briel doesn't get her shit together" I purposely bumped into her shoulder walking out the kitchen
How dare she blame Angel for Briel's mistakes. I might not know both sides of the story but I'm riding with Angel no matter what.
"You settled in yet?"
"I think it's best if I just crash at my parent's place" She got her two suitcases from off the bed. I blocked the door still holding the mug
"You're staying"
Groaning she said "Move out my way Monae"
"You aren't going anywhere. Why would you"
"I haven't even been here for thirty minutes and you guys are arguing because of me"
"Don't worry about me and Lani, I'll talk to her when you're settled in"
"I hate you sometimes"
"Aww I love you too Angel"
She rolled her eyes walking to the oak dresser by the window. I sat the mug down quietly leaving the room.
When I stepped into my room the smell of vanilla admittedly hit my nose and the voice of Beyoncé can be heard from the bathroom.
"May I come in?" I inquired nicely
"If I were a boy I think I could understand" Jelani began to sing ignoring my request
"Jelani" I called more loudly
"How it feels to love a girl. I swear I'd be a better man" She sung even louder "I'd listen to her cause I know how it hurts.When you lose the one you wanted cause he's taken you for granted and everything you had got destroyed" Her and Beyoncé voice spoke in sync
"Baby talk to me" I begged on the verge of tears
My hormones get the best of me in these types of situations. I need her loving not her being angry at me
The music lowered and the bathroom door opened and I was pulled inside
"I'm trying to bathe what do you want?" She asked with a straight face
"To see you"
"You'll see me in two hours. You may now exit and don't come back" She ordered turning the music back on
I sadly left the room with my head held low. When I went to the guest room Angel was peacefully sleeping. I turned directions going to my office. Working is the only thing that'll keep me from crying.
Jelani POV
I wrapped the towel around my body and let my wet hair flow down my back . As I looked into the mirror my eyes traveled to the ultrasound Moe got two weeks ago. I ran my hands over the picture feeling bad for dismissing her so harshly.
I didn't like the fact she came for Briel and schooled me. What she said was true but I was having a hard time processing it even after I talked to Bri.
I quickly got dressed and left my room bumping into Angel
"Where's Moe?" I impatiently asked
"Her office" She replied fidgeting with her fingers
"Don't beat yourself up" I told her sincerely receiving a small smile in return
Without knocking I entered her office and we had a brief moment of silence
"Come here" She fanned me over to before a word could leave my mouth. I walked behind the desk sitting in the chair just for me
"Let me talk" Moe instructed "I feel like we don't owe each other an apology. We voiced our opinion but not in the best way possible"
"We did and I'm sor-
"Lani what did I say"
"Te amo cariño" I spoke to her in Spanish
"Te amo tambíen aluminio"
I smacked my lips at her smart remark. She laughed loudly "Who taught you that" I questioned
"Eric" She replied dying down from her laughing fit
"On a serious note do we help with Angel and Briel or sit on the sidelines?"
"If they don't talk or Angel isn't gone in the next three days then we play Oprah"
She pulled my chair closer to her. Our face inches away and lips almost connecting when the door opened
"Sorry to interrupt y'all but umm where's the hygiene products?"
"In the bathroom closet next to your room"
"Thanks. My bad for interrupting" She closed the door quietly
"Let's take this to the room"
"Say no more daddy" I purred into her ears
