More Than Friends

Chapter 7

Durk and Von in MM
Durk POV
When I saw King I instantly froze. He looked at me and Von with a unreadable expression. "Daddy, this is Ari, Von and my boyfriend Durk." Daddy?! Oh shit. His expression turned to anger real quick. "Nice to meet you Ari. I've heard so much about you." He shook Ari's hand and looked at me and Von with a mean mug.
Ding Dong.
The doorbell rang and India ran to go open it. King just stared me and Von down, I can even lie I was scared as hell. I already know King don't play about family, but it's not like I'm just tryna play with her, I really fuck with India. Not only is she beautiful, but she's smart, funny, and she's more mature than these all around hoes. India comes back into the room with some tall girl. "You guys this is my best friend Nique, she flew in from Atlanta just to be here for my birthday weekend." The girl looked at all of us and smiled. "Daddy, weren't you leaving?" King snapped out of his devil stare and nodded his head. "Yea, I'll be back later, if you need me call me, love you." He gave her a hug and walked out the door. Five minutes later me and Von both got a text from King saying:
Boss: Warehouse at midnight. BE THERE.
We both looked at each other and just shook our heads. I done fucked up now.
India POV
I don't know why my dad was acting so weird. I told him who was coming over and he said he wanted to meet my boyfriend, maybe he was just deep in thought or something. I was so glad that Nique came for the weekend. It was always a movie when we got together.I had the maid Juanita set up all kinds of activities we could do until she was done with our dinner. For my birthday dinner I told her I wanted crab legs, steak and fries. I showed them where everything was in the game room, Von and Durk ran to play 2K20. "I'm on yo ass nigga!" Von yelled. "You can't beat me bitch." I laughed at them going back and forth. Me, Nique and Ari decided to play Just Dance. "So what's been going on back at home Nique." "Same ole shit, Monica is pregnant again, Terrell done caught another STD, Naomi's baby daddy done beat her ass once again, girl them mfs down there crazy as hell, I'm glad to take a little break." I shook my head. Nique always had the scoop on what was going on with mfs. I looked over at Ari and saw she was texting on her phone looking mad as hell. "You okay Ari?" "Mann Herb really tweaking out, he doing the complete most right now, I just wanna go home, I'll text you later on." She rushed out before I could say anything back. "So you've got a new bestie I see." Nique said with a smirk. "Girl nobody could replace you, we're more like sisters and you know that." We hugged each other and continued playing the game until Juanita came and got us all for dinner. "Where Ari go?" Von asked. "She said she didn't feel good." It wasn't his business that she was arguing with her nigga. "Oh ok, well Nique wassgood with you I'm tryna get to know you." We all busted out laughing. "What the fuck is so funny?" Von looked around getting offended. "I'm sorry hunnie but you're not my type." Von shook his head and mumbled "crazy ass hoe" under his breath. I noticed that Durk really wasn't saying too much. "Durk can you help me get something from the kitchen?" "Yea fasho." We walked into the kitchen and I leaned against the counter. "Wassup with you, you've been quiet ever since you saw my dad." He put his head down avoiding eye contact. "It's nothing ma, everything good." I held his head up. "My dad is nothing to be afraid of, he may seem intimidating but I know once he gets to know you he will ease up, okay?" He picked me up and put me on the counter and gave me a long, passionate kiss. "Okay baby."
Nique POV

I came to Chicago to spend the weekend with my girl India it was her birthday and I already knew we were gonna turn up. Her boyfriend's friend Von kept trying to spit game but I wasn't going for it. I was out of his league. My phone kept bussing so I excused myself to the bathroom.
Me: Hello?
Trey: Hey baby what you doing?
Me: Trey I'm at India's house I can't talk right now.
Trey: Oh damn I forgot you went down there for her birthday, when are you going to tell her about us?
Me: I don't know how she would react to her best friend and her ex hooking up.
Trey: Well you need to figure something else I'm tired of hiding at this point.
Me: I know babe, look I'ma call you when I can.
Trey: Alright, I love you.
Me: Love you too
I hung up the phone and looked in the mirror. If India knew I was fucking with her ex she would go crazy. What makes it worse is that me and Trey have been fucking around for the past year. I was the side chick until India moved and Trey broke up with her so that me and him could be together. I never meant for it to get this far but now I'm all in love and I don't know how to tell her. Some kind of bestie I am.
