Roddy slowly sipped the lean in his double cup as he listened to Allie rant about how the nail tech didn't get the right shade of pink she wanted and fucked up her day.
Like he cared.
"Are you even listening to me?" She asked.
"Yeah" he answered absentmindedly.
"Good. Am I on speakerphone?"
"Nah"
"Then why you sound so distant?"
"I got a cough" he lied.
"Oh. Okay whatever. Anyway, she- Oh finally! The manager's here! I gotta go boo boo. Love you". She didn't wait for a response before hanging up. Not like she was going to get any. Roddy wasn't a fan of lies.
"How you trade filet mignon for a two piece chicken nugget?" Donbo asked.
"And it ain't even like them nuggets from Chick-fil-A or some shit like that. Got me fucked up with them burnt Wendy nuggets" Bird added.
"Fuck y'all talmbout?". Roddy looked up at them from the top of his shades. He really didn't have it in him to make conversation but he was the one being directly spoken to so he had to respond.
"How you leave Alaina for a bop?" Donbo came out with it, really wanting to know the answer.
"Can we not talk bout this right now?"
"No. We gon' talk about it now cuh whatchu said the other day really wasn't sitting right wimme. It looked like you hurt her" Bree said.
"Why y'all talking like she wasn't the one to start shit?" He tried to defend himself.
"We don't care. We're just saying that you shouldn't hate her just because she chose to make a name for herself. She wanted to be something" Bird explained.
"She was already something. She was my girl". They all shot him a 'really' look.
"See that's the problem with your big headed ass. You really think that's all she's ever gonna wanna be? Your girl?" Relly asked.
"I was thinking it would be enough for her"
"Obviously not. See sometimes it ain't about what you think. It's about her dreams. Desires. Ambitions. Aspiratio-"
"Thanks Steve Harvey. I think he gets the idea" Bree cut Relly off and he mugged her.
"My point is...you needa talk to her. Clear the air on this shit. You've moved on. She's moved on-"
"She has?" Roddy asked and Relly clamped his mouth shut. He wasn't supposed to tell him that.
"I think what Relly was tryna say is that you needa talk to her and put all this New York shit aside. We all tired of the awkwardness whenever she's brought up" Donbo finished for him.
Roddy wasn't stupid. He wasn't born yesterday. He knew what Relly was trying to say. She had another boyfriend. Probably one of the spoilt rich brats of New York. The exact same reason he didn't want her going to New York in the first place.
"I can't talk to her if iono where she is" he gave an excuse, not really ready to face her. Not after their last encounter.
"She's right there". Bree pointed outside the car window where Alaina stood with Winter and Zee, talking. He had forgotten that Winter had made them stop by on the way home so she could talk to her.
"So am I just supposed to just go there?"
"Oh you wanna be alone with her? Cool cool. I can arrange that" Bree said and pulled out her phone to text Winter. Soon enough, Winter was back to the car.
"Okay double R. You're up" she said and climbed in. Roddy took in a deep breath and tried to clear his vision a lil better before coming out of the car.
"Zora this is not funny. Open the door!" He heard Alaina banging on the door and he guessed Zee was in on it too.
"Hey" he spoke up, making her jump and squeak a bit.
"Whatchu want?" She asked. Now she understood why Zee locked her outside. She was gonna kill her after this.
"I come in peace. I just wanna talk" he explained, taking a sip from his cup.
"What's that?"
"Lean" he answered and she shot him a look. He had almost forgotten how much she hated him drinking lean.
"Your eyes are like really red. What the fuck were you drinking?" she asked as she peered into the cup.
"Lean?". He nodded shamefully.
"Bruh what the-" she stopped talking and took in a deep breath. She had to be understanding. He just lost a friend.
"I thought I told you to stop. That shit could kill you" she said in a calmer voice.
"Well I didn't know what else to do" he defended.
"Just please...promise me you won't ever drink lean"
"I won't. I promise" he said and she smiled a lil. "Good. Cuh I don't know what I would do if I lost you". She reached out and pulled him into a hug.
"You ain't" he replied and held her tighter, wordlessly letting her know he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
"Sorry" he quickly muttered and brought the cup down. "So uh.....I think we uh...got off on the wrong foot the other day and I just want us to start over" he said. "The shit that happened in New York was two years ago and ion think it's right how we're still holding onto that, you feel me?"
She was about to say something but an unusually cold wind blew and sent a shiver down her spine. Roddy also noticed something else. Her T-shirt was really thin. And she didn't have a bra on.
Let's just say her racks were still as nice as ever.
She flushed red when she figured what his eyes were darting down to and she crossed her across her chest, making him focus on her face. He slightly smiled when he saw how red-faced she was. The way she blushed so easily was one of the many things he loved about her.
"Your girl?" She repeated.
"Well yeah. Unless you not interested" he said.
"Nah. Nah. I like it" she immediately replied, burying her face in his chest to hide her blush.
"I can feel how hot your cheeks are through my shirt" he pointed out and her blush deepened.
"Oh my God. Shut up" she groaned.
"Nah" he shook his head, lifting her head up to look at him. "I like when you blush" he said, making direct eye contact.
Fuck he missed her.
He honestly couldn't give a fuck about the drama. All he wanted to do was just push her up against the wall and kiss her senseless. With the way she was looking like an angel at the moment.
"I think I'd like that" she finally responded and for a second, he actually thought she read his mind and gave him her consent. But then he remembered that they were talking about something else before his ungodly thoughts took over him.
"So friends?"
"Yeah. Friends"
