"He has just been in a pissy mood since that day." I say to Raylee.
I was sat in my room with her and Azalea, while Roddy was downstairs with his friend Jay. "So he stopped sleeping in here?"
I nod. "Yeah. I miss it though. As much as he is annoying, he is really sweet when we're in bed together. We'd cuddle and he'll play with my hair."
I look at Raylee, she smirks at me and raises her eyebrows.
"No. Ew. Don't even say anything. It's not even like that."
"Are you sure? It doesn't seem so." She says to me.
Azalea gets up and stands on the bed. She raises her arms to Raylee so she gives her a hug.
"Aww, so cute." I say as Azalea sits with her. "Don't try and change the subject. Roddy is trying with you, you have to see that. I know you said about the whole thing of him being rude or whatever but maybe he has changed his mind."
I lean my head on my hand and roll my eyes. "I know I'm your best-friend and all but I'm taking his side on this one. You just being mad stubborn and I think you should give him a chance. You know what else I think?"
I shake my head. "What? Raylee please don't say anything stupid because I will hit you." She holds Azalea close.
"No you won't. I'm holding the baby and I'll tell Roddy." I show her my middle finger and pick up a pillow.
"Go on." I say to her. "Okay, I was thinking y'all should have a meeting of some sort. Like to talk about how you feel instead of arguing like a old married couple. And it'll be hosted by me."
I lift the pillow up higher and Raylee holds up her arm. "Hey! Don't! It wasn't stupid Lina. You know that."
She grabs the pillow from me and throws it to the other side of the bed.
"Have you both been filling out the form at the end of the week? Or speaking to Nessa?" I nod.
"Yeah but we haven't told her about the arguing." Raylee shakes her head. "You see? You two don't talk to anybody and expect shit to just disappear. You may not think so, but talking helps Lina."
"Not all the time." I say rolling my eyes. "I'm gonna call him up here." Raylee gets up holding Azalea and opens the bedroom door.
"Roddy?!" She yells. "Yo!" He responds as she walks down the stairs. I hear them talk faintly for a little so I go on my phone and answer some messages.
They both come upstairs soon after but Raylee wasn't holding Azalea anymore. "Where's Lea?" I ask and Roddy speaks up before Raylee could.
"She's downstairs with Jay." I nod and he takes a seat next to me.
Raylee grabs an armchair and pulls it to the front of the bed.
"Okay, so first off. You don't have to talk directly to each other if you don't want you. All you have to do is talk about how you feel. If you disagree with what has been said, you don't have to be rude or interrupt."
Roddy laughs. "Are we kids? We grown, we don't need this." Raylee fake laughs and crosses her legs.
"Clearly you both do. I know that y'all have been arguing. Now there is a child around, you need to start to act like adults. I have a rule though. Don't be inconsiderate. There are ways to express your feelings without being mean."
Roddy stands up to walk off. "Man I'm not doing this shit." Raylee blocks his path and he stops.
"Sit down, I'm serious." He sucks his teeth plopping down onto the bed next to me and Raylee sits back down.
"Okay so who wants to go first?"
"I will." I say sitting up.
"Firstly I want to apologise for the way I acted the other day. You're right about me not knowing what you think about. I was wrong for assuming that you just wanted to fuck but you can't exactly blame me."
"Malina, you have to understand not every rapper in this world is just fucking on every girl they meet. I know I'm not good in saying my thoughts out loud. I word them wrong and shit and it pisses you off. It's just how I am, I just say what I feel."
I nod just listening to him. I could kind of understand where he was coming from. I guess we are both hardheaded.
"We need to communicate more. Not the type of communication where it's just us yelling over shit that is minor. We have too long left to carry on like this. So if either of us have a problem, we need to come together as ADULTS and solve it."
I say crossing my legs up on the bed. "Aww, you guys! I was expecting way worse but y'all actually did well. I was low-key waiting on one of you to be petty."
Raylee pretends to cry and fans her eyes. "Trust me, I felt like I should have been but I can't deal with yelling today." Roddy says and I push his shoulder.
"Shut up. We have to be best-friends now." He grabs my hands and stares at me. "What? Why are you staring at me like that?"
He says nothing and pulls me towards him. Roddy puts his hand on my cheek and kisses me. I hear Raylee gasp and she starts clapping. I pull away and peck his lips.
"Bitchhh, I should be a damn therapist. I basically fixed y'all." Roddy laughs. "So where do we go from here?" He asks me.
I shrug and lean my head on his shoulder. "She's your girl now bro." Raylee says. I kick her leg and she puts her hands in the air.
"Lina, best-friend to best-friend, sister to sister right now. I know Roddy annoys the shit out of you, but you have never not found him attractive. She crushing hard on you niggaaaa." She says directing the last part to Roddy.
He laughs and holds me tighter. We all talk for a little while longer until Ray announced LOUDLY that she needed to use the bathroom.
I had my legs over Roddy's lap and he was playing with my hair. "I do appreciate what you do for me. Like the cooking and cleaning. Also taking on my daughter as your own. She warmed up to you real quick."
I smile and he continues to talk. "I think I should ask you more officially instead of your friend trying to make moves for me. So Malina, will you be my girl?"
I look at him and smile. "I mean you don't have to. I don't want to rush you, I know it's early and all."
I nod at him. "We'll get there eventually, I want to take it slow first. When we do get there, we need to be private because I don't like people in my business."
Raylee comes out of the bathroom and runs back into the room. "You in my business? Don't do thaaat!" I roll my eyes playfully and laugh at her.
Roddy gets close to me and starts to whisper. "When you ready I got you."
✰ ✰ ✰
It was now much later on in the night, Jay went home but Raylee decided to stay the night.
She was in a guest room and Azalea was in her room asleep.
Me and Roddy were in our room in our bed. He told me I had to start using that word if we are going to be together.
"What are you thinking about?" He asks me, rubbing his thumb on my bottom lip.
He has been extremely nice since that conversation earlier. It's really cute and I really hope it stays this way.
I know I do feed into the arguments we have but I'm glad we can be like this too.
But look at me bitch, in a house and bed with RODDY RICCH!
And he asked me to be his girl?
Tuh.
I sigh but smile. "Nothing, just relaxing." I say to him and kiss his lips.
