I stepped out the shower and wrapped my towel around my body. All I could think about was Quincy. I really don't know what I want. I know I don't want him with anybody else but I also know that I'm not ready to just jump back into a relationship with him.

I know I told him that I wanted to be single but I didn't expect him to just hoe me. He really fucked me and dipped. Like damn can we atleast finish our episode of Snowfall first.

I could hear my phone ringing in my bedroom. I grabbed my phone and looked at the caller id, and it was King.

"Wassup" I answered putting the phone on speaker. I walked over to my dresser and grabbed my lotion.

"The fuck Quincy doing here?"

"He was just dropping off something for Lyric"' I replied as I moisturized my skin.

"Y'all back together?"

"No sir" I laughed walking over to grab some undergarments.

"So you don't care if I beat his ass?"

"Boy bye" I laughed shaking my hands "That's not a battle yo scrawny ass gon win"

"Yeah ight we'll see" Before I could even respond he hung up the phone on me. I just laughed and put on my mickey mouse pajama pants and a tank top. I walked out of the room to get some water. Michelle was sitting on the couch by herself.

"Now bitch how you fuck up that bad?" She laughed. This was the first time she's talked to me in weeks.

"Bitch ion fucking know" I replied with a slight laugh.

"When Q said 'she occupied right now' I damn near fell out" Michelle laughed.

"Like bro what even possessed him to open the door?" I went and sat down on the couch across from her. "How mad was Jacobi?"

"Girl he was pissed. I thought y'all were just friends with benefits?"

"We are! The only reason he should be mad is because I didn't tell him but bro I was going to tell him. I didn't expect his ass to show up here"

"When did Q come back in the picture?"

"Ohhh bitch where do I even start with that" I said sitting back on the couch. It felt good talking to my best friend again. I'm glad she finally decided to stop being petty and come around. I started to give her a play by play rundown of everything that went down.

"Wait wait wait so when Cobi came out your room mad last night that's why?"

"Again, I didn't expect him to be here! You keep inviting that negro over here" I exclaimed.

"Well shit don't blame me! He's always over here even before y'all started fucking" She laughed "Okay so like why was Q here today then?"

"He popped up at the ass crack of dawn talking bout let's go to breakfast"

"That's who was knocking on the door? I ignored it and went back to sleep"

"That's what my ass should've did." I rolled my eyes "But anyways we stopped at Walgreens right. Why Mr. Raper Man was there?"

"Not Mr. Raper Man" Michelle chuckled, "See why you call him that? I'm not supposed to be laughing"

"Girl when I tell you I had like 3 panic attacks back to back but I'm in the store tryna play it cool cause ion want Q to make a scene. We in the car like seconds away from pulling off. His canine fucking senses kick in he hop his ass out the car and beat the fuck out that nigga. Buddy was slumped"

"As he should" Michelle nods her head approvingly.

"And then after that I had another panic attack while his ass cursing me out for not saying shit. I was like seconds away from calling you despite us not talking cause that shit was getting worse and worse. Now we on the side of the expressway hugging and shit so I could calm down"

I just kept telling her everything that went down from me cleaning up his wounds all the way to his departure.

"So you told him you just wanted to fuck and now you mad cause he treated yo ass like a bitch he just be fucking?" Michelle questioned raising an eyebrow at me.

"See when you put it like that..." I laughed.

"That's why Jacobi ass somewhere mad. You was fucking him, staying the night, cuddling and shit. Making that nigga think you actually like him. Nah you get yo nut and be out there door." Michelle stated shaking her head, "I knew that shit was gon happen"

"Girl no you didn't" I scoffed.

"I did the minute you told me. I just thought it was gon be the other way around. Shit if Q never popped back into the picture y'all definitely would've started dating foreal."

"Ew no we wouldn't have" I replied making a stank face.

"Girl you was out here trying to feel that empty void and don't deny it. If you wasn't, Jacobi wouldn't even be under the impression that you had a drop of feelings for him cause you would've treated him like a nigga you was only fucking" Michelle stated.

"This is the first time you've ever made complete sense" I laughed even though I was completely serious. "Okay Ms. Iyanna Fix My Life, what do I do now?"

"Well for one you need to stop acting like you don't want that high yellow ass nigga back. Let that hurt go sis." Michelle stated

"And with Jacobi, shit ion know. You on your own with that one you kinda fucked that up. You ain't play your cards right and that's why you should've told me." She added in, "You ain't bout this pimp life for real that's why you need to just go get ya boy back"

"Fine" I sighed standing up from the couch to go back to my room, "Let me go call these niggas. This shit stressful. Imma just get a girlfriend"

"Girl you think this stressful? That's gon be hell" Michelle said and we both laughed. I grabbed my phone and sent a text to King asking if Quincy was still there. Once he said yeah I let him know I was on my way there.

"I'll be back" I said to Michelle as I grabbed my keys.

"Not in the mickey mouse pajama pants"

"I need them to sense my urgency" I laughed before heading out.

I don't even know what I'm about to say to Quincy. I was just going to wing it and tell him everything that has been on my mind for the past 9 months. Whatever happens from there just happens. Denying my feelings isn't benefiting neither one of us.

I pulled into my parents driveway and walked up to the front door. I used my key to unlock it and waltzed inside. As I walked inside everybody was sitting on the couch chit chatting it up.

"Now would you look at that? The whole crew is here" My mom said.

"You're so annoying" I laughed rolling my eyes. "Hey y'all" I said greeting everybody.

"Why are you in your pajamas?" Lyric chuckled.

"Mind ya business" I laughed, "Can I talk to you?" I said looking at Quincy.

"Oooh" My mom and dad said in unison.

He nods his head and stands up from the couch. I headed upstairs to my old bedroom.

"I like your pants" Quincy teased sitting down on the bed.

"Shut up" I laughed closing the door. "Okay so you've always said the only way this can work is if we communicate with each other so I need to speak my truth."

"What is there to work out? You said you wanna be single, so be single"

"I only said that because I'm still hurt"

"Hurt by fucking what Paris? There's no baby and even if it was a baby in the picture, it wasn't conceived when we were together"

"Don't be fucking dense" I spat back, "Can you just shut up and let me talk? I'm not here to argue with you"

"Like I said the other night you broke up with me and that's the first bitch bed you ran to. I didn't say shit at the time because I felt like I couldn't be mad because you're right we weren't together. It's not even completely the fact that you slept with her it's the fact you kept reassuring me she meant nothing to you." I said leaning against the dresser.

"I never, not once, have lied to you Paris. I kept shit upfront with you from the jump. I told you she ain't mean shit to me because she don't mean shit to me. I understand how that shit look from your perspective but I didn't lie. There wasn't nothing malicious about it, it just happened."

"Okay Quincy"

"Nah don't 'Okay Quincy' me. You wanna talk so talk. You're the one that kept this to yourself for over a year and now you wanna stand up here and say you don't wanna be with me because of it. Like that shit don't even make no sense, we was good. We was talking all day, everyday. I'm catching flights to come see you, you coming to see me. I'm chilling with your family even when you're not with me. You and my momma going shopping. You going through shit and I'm waiting on you hand and foot. But now all of a sudden when shorty pop up and say she pregnant and the baby might be mine you question my whole character as if I ever gave you a reason to believe I'd play you like that."

"You're right" I nodded my head. "It was just the fact that you were having a baby and it's not with me.Not saying I wanted a baby but shit I'm the girlfriend. I'm the only one who should be pregnant by you. Like damn here we are discussing who's going to move where, if we want kids in the future and then boom here she go ruining all that shit"

"And I get that. But that's not even a factor so why are you still caught up over that. If you simply don't fuck with me just say that and we can nip this shit inna bud right now and move on with our lives"

"No, I wanna be with you"

"So act like it then. You're the only one pushing me away"

I nod my head "Okay"

"I need to get to this airport." Quincy said looking at the time on his phone.

"Okay I'll walk out with you" I replied.

We walked out the room and headed downstairs. "It was nice seeing y'all again" Quincy said going over to dap up with my dad and give my mom a hug.

"Did y'all make up?" My mom asked as Quincy hugged her.

"Yeah" Quincy replied with a laugh.

"Good!" Lyric added in.

"Hop on 2k tomorrow" King tells Quincy. I'm assuming King no longer disliked him either.

"Ight" Quincy said and dapped up with him as well. He gave Lyric a hug before we left out the house.

"I'll text you when I make it to the airport" Quincy told me as we walked over to the driveway.

"Okay" I nodded my head. He grabs my hand and pulls me into a tight hug rocking me from side to side.

I stood on my tip toes to peck his lips, "I love you"

"I love you more" He replied kissing me again.

I wrapped my hand around his neck and gave it a light squeeze "If you ever not cuddle me after sex again, I will cut your dick off. Okay?"

"Okay" He says with a laugh and pecks my lips, "I just had to prove a point to you and it obviously worked because here we are"

"It OBvIouSlY wOrked bEca- shut yo ass up" I mocked him. I kissed him once more before heading over to my car that was parked behind his.

"Drive safe" He said as he opened his door.

"You do the same" I replied climbing into my truck.
