No Longer Next Door

15

"DEVAN!" Collins yelled

"I'm trying to nap what?"

"Y'all are no fun,"

"Collins you're older than me but you're acting like you're still 5." Devan threw shade a his brother

"So?"

"It's not even noon and you e already blown my eardrums like that one Christmas,"

"We.. we dint talk about that Devan,"

Devan has a smirk on his face.

Just then a knock was in the door

"Collins," me and Devan said at the same time

"I'm on it chill,"

We heard the door open. I turned my head around to see a flash of pink. I quickly snapped my head around and I put my head in my hands

"Oh god please no. No no no no no no no," I muttered under my breath "please not her,"

Devan shot me a look

"Devan!" A high pitch voice said

Devan rolled his eyes and sat up

"Oh hi Wengie!" He faked his excitement

"How's my favorite person ever?!"

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"I'm great now that I get to see you,"

I turned my head slowly The the left and for caught a glimpse of her trying to grab Devan's arm. He pulled away.

She looked at me

"Ember, is that you?"

I turned around completely

"Yep it's me, hi wengie!"

"Wow your hair is so long now," she was being polite

"Yeah," I said vein nice back "I stopped cutting it short and I've been letting it grow out,"

"Well it looks nice,"

"Thank you,"

"What are you doing here?" Devan asked

"To come see my second family of course!"

"Oh," Collins replied

"Yep! I wanted to see my Devy," she stole my nickname

"Umm actually wengie," Devan said inching closer to me

I could tell he felt uncomfortably around her because last time wengie and I were together Devan and I broke up. We both don't want that to happen now.

"He's married," Collins finished Devan's sentence

"Oh my god really??" She said "congrats!"

She only seemed a little jealous

"Who's the lucky gal that swept you off your feet?"

I held up my hand

"'Twas I,"

She shot me a dirty look

"I thought you two broke up like four years ago,"

"No we got back together after the fight went down," he shot me a look and sadness that danced within his eyes showing the fear of him loosing me if he didn't grab my wrists in time.

"Oh,"

Devan repeated the same thing as before. He flipped over the back o the couch and landed. He put his head back into my lap as I was going through my phone.
