"We..we uh..-"

"Where was y'all at for the last 24 hours? You said you was about to bring Jahseh back, Stoke." Symere said.

"No, it was-" Stokeley started.

"I bet y'all was making moves without us." Omar said.

"Or you guys went to Disney world without us." Gazzy said pouting.

"Why would they go to Disney world if Disney world is here?" Jared says coming from the kitchen.

"Y'all could've at least called us if you guys were lost." Miles says walking over to us.

"Our phones died on the way back." I said.

"I bet they was fuckin." Symere says taking a bite out of whatever he was eating.

It caught me off guard at what he suggested making me choke on my spit. Not exactly what happened but I mean..I wish. No actually I don't wish, I don't have a crush on Stokeley.

"You're messy, Symere." Gazzy says giggling.

"Yeah, that's nasty." Stokeley says laughing, going to sit near Symere dapping him up. I roll my eyes and go to sit on the dining room table and put my head down.

Some time passes by and they're laughing about some fight Jared caught on tape earlier, and talking about more things but they were muffled by my thoughts.

What if Jefferey comes back again? He can get extreme sometimes, and I regret reporting him when I had the chance. The stupid shit you do when you love someone. It's crazy how he's changed. I don't know how I fell in love with him and WAS in love with him for so many years.

He thrusts into me one more time before releasing into me, leaving kisses and hickies on my neck and chest. I soon came right after him, panting filling the room. He kisses me, letting his tongue explore my mouth.

"I love you, X." He says, playfully leaving small bursts of kisses on my face.

"I love you too, Jefferey."

"Is this nigga dead, yo? He always daydreaming. Jah. Seh." I felt tapping on my shoulder, making me jump out of my zone. I'm always daydreaming and I need to quit doing that so much.

"Are you okay?" Miles asks from above me. "You've been sitting and staring at the wall for 30 minutes." He continues.

"No I haven't, nigga it's been like 5 minutes."

"No it's has been 30 whole minutes." Miles says nodding his head.

I look around and see Symere and Jared asleep on the couch, Omar and Gazzy watching something on the TV. Might as well make them your room mates, Stokeley. They're literally always over.

"Where's Stokeley?" I ask getting up.

"He left for work a little while ago..he told me to tell you to see you later."

"Okay..well..I'm gonna go home." I say. "Bye guys, tell the sleepy heads I said bye." I say opening the door leaving.

"Fuck, Stokeley, harder." She moaned as I thrusted into her from the back. I did as she told, and when I felt myself about to climax, pulled out and let it out on her back.

"You could've just nutted inside of me."

I grabbed a nearby roll of paper towels tossing it to her,

"And why would I do that?" She caught it and ripped a piece off cleaning herself up.

"Because this is your pussy." She sings, shaking her ass.

I roll my eyes, "Not anymore." I say grabbing my clothes and putting them on, her getting up and doing the same.

"It could be."

"It already was. And we all know how the end of that story goes, don't we." I said finally getting all my clothes on. A guilty expression on her face. It goes silent for a little bit until she breaks it,

"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry, Stoke. That was almost 2 years ago." She says fixing herself in the mirror.

"I know...but that doesn't change anything." I address, sitting down and lighting a cigarette. I offered her one but she shook her head no.

"Well. We got to get to work." She says.

"Stokeley, do you not know how to make a margarita? Amateur." Royce says while looking at the drinks on the shelves.

"No I don't, because I'm not a real bartender." I say just for Jordan to shush me,

"Shut up nigga, you gonna blow our cover. The people here have to think we are real bartenders." I roll my eyes and chuckle.

"Nigga, we got 3 complaints that our so called 'margaritas' was just water with lime in it."

"Nigga, shut up." Royce says. I chuckle, as I see that I clock out soon.

"Aye Val."

"What?"

"When you clock out?"

"Like an hour. Mitri never really told me when I leave."

"You wanna hang out?" I ask gathering my things.

"Sure. Where at?" She asks.

"Wherever this evening takes us I guess." I say sighing, taking a sip out a nearby drink, immediately spitting it out.

"Who made this?"

"Dex did." Jordan snitches.

"Dex didn't make that, Dex makes exquisite drinks, Jordan's bitch ass probably made that shit."

"I did not."

"Nigga I will slap that birthmark to the other side of your face if you lie one more time." Dex claps back. I chuckle and go to the back room where I see Mitri just chilling on his phone.

"Aye, bro I'm bout to head out." I say calling him up. "Ight man, see you later."

I say my final goodbyes to Dex, Royce and Jordan and I go to leave where I see Valerie already waiting for me near the door.

"You ready?" I ask putting my arm around her shoulder. "I'm ready." She replies.
