"Nigga you act like I was born yesterday" Jada yelled in my face. Ana showed up to the crib talking about sum she's pregnant like HOE WHAT?!

"The last time we fucked was what.... uh 7 months ago?!" I screamed back

She gave me a hard glare. "You told me that you broke up w her after I was in dat coma but now you are saying yall fucked?"

Okay, maybe I didn't think that one through....

"We not even together why you tripping?" I asked. I saw her face tighten up. She squinted her eyes and looked like she wanted to rip my head off.

"That's how you feel? Bet. Keep that same energy dip. Keep the SAME damn energy" She walked out the house and slammed the door behind her.

I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch. "I may have hurt her feelings with that one" I told myself. I shook my head and rubbed my hands together stressed. I KNOW for a fact I didn't get that girl pregnant, but Jada seems to think different.

I was pissed off. My ears felt like they were on fire, and I felt my chest burning up. Did I believe Ana? Sort of. I don't know man.... It seemed believable but at the same time Ashley pulled the same shit so. I wasn't even mad at that. I was mad at the fact that Lamelo said I shouldn't be tripping because we aren't even 'together' LIKE NIGGA WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS?!

I took a deep breath as I pulled up to Del Taco. (ifykyk)

I stood in line and bought me 3 churros. I sat at the SAME table Lamelo broke down at. I laughed to myself cause he made himself look like a fool that day. I bit into my churro when someone cleared their throat.

"Anyone sitting here?" The person asked. I was paying 0 attention and said no. I was too busy on tik tok.

The person pulled out the chair and sat in front of me. I looked up confused and saw the one person I PRAYED I wouldn't run into.

He flashed a weird grin at me.

"They finally freed you?" I gave him a hard look.

He sucked his teeth. "Man I didn't even do nothing for real"

I gave him the 'bffr' look.

He brushed it off and started talking like I was his friend or some.

"What you been up to coma?" That last part made me cringe. Nigga thought he was funny.

I fake laughed and then turned serious. "I don't talk to nigga's who beat on they wife" I slouched down in my chair.

"BRO I DIDN'T TOUCH HER!!" He yelled angrily. Now he was making me mad all over again.

"Why couldn't you just mind your own and let me eat in peace?" I questioned as I balled one of my fists up under the table.

"I just wanted to talk aight? Is that too much to ask for?" I nodded my head yeah and I could tell he was already sick of me.

"Listen. I just want to talk as FRIENDS. Nothing less, nothing more"

I turned my phone off and set it on the table. "I'm listening"

"Word is that you and Lamelo are in sort of a situationship"

I raised one brow. How did he know that already??

"Before you start going loco. He told me. We cool now" He smiled.

I scoffed. Now this nigga telling people my business?

"He cares about you trust me" I laughed when he spoke.

"Trust you? BITCH you got to be kidding me. Your Miles Bridges. 27 fights 27 nights type shit. You're the LAST person I'd ever trust" He looked butthurt when I said that.

"You're so mean to me" He whined. I rolled my eyes.

"All jokes aside. Ana isn't really pregnant" He took one of my churros.

"Figures. GIVE ME MY SHIT BACK" I snatched it out his hands.

"That's not even why I'm up-" He cut me off

"I know what he said and tbh that was out of pocket, but you got to understand that nigga has been through a lot" He says that as if I didn't go through the same shit.

He put his hand on top of mine. "Give him a chance to explain"

Something felt off. Miles was all of a sudden giving decent advice. He seemed to actually care.

"It's always you bruh" Zo said after I explained what happened.

"No, it's not"

"You literally said you didn't love her"

"That's not what I said" I was right I didn't say that, but I acted like it....

"Why you always have to have crazy exes??" He asked.

I shrugged my shoulders wondering the same thing.

"Apologize nigga" Gelo told me. I flipped him off.

Everyone kept telling me to say sorry and to do this, do that LIKE I DON'T ALREADY KNOW!!!

"You getting mad cause people telling you what you need to know" Zo and Gelo said in sync.

I crossed my arms and left the room. "I hate yall" I mumbled.

I decided to take matters into my own hands and left to the store. I went to Walmart and bought 2 teddy bears, 1 dog, 1 dinosaur. I bought a box of chocolates and a BUNCH of snacks. I also bought a bouquet of flowers and sprayed the bears with my cologne. I was feeling generous and also got a card.

I wrapped everything up into a nice bag (my momma taught me 🤭) and drove to Jada's location.

I arrived at the mall and went walking to Del Taco. As I approached her, I saw Mile's walking away from the table.

"Sup" He dabbed me up and left.

I gave him a confused look and sat down in front of her. She was glued to her phone, so she didn't notice I was there.

I banged the table, and she shot a dirty look at me. She took her air pods out. I could tell I annoyed the fuck out of her doing that.

"What boy?" She asked with attitude.

"AND DON'T START CRYING" She semi-yelled.

I sucked my teeth and rolled my eyes. "I came here to say I'm sorry."

She gestured for me to continue.

"I shouldn't have said what I said. I wasn't thinking straight, and you didn't deserve that. I love you nigga. You know this. Everyone knows this. You're my number 1 Shawty!!!" I could tell she cringed at that last part. I laughed which caused her to crack a smile.

"You know damn well it's us against the world. LITERALLY. From day one it was like that. No matter what I say or do just know I care. I really do" I grabbed her hand.

"SOOOOO i spent racks on a gift" I set the bag on the table. She looked through the bag and her smile grew wider.

"Racks? Nigga the receipt from Walmart" She held up the paper. I snatched it from her and shoved it in my pocket.

"Yes racks." I got a little embarrassed. She laughed and stood up which caused me to stand to.

"Thanks bitch" She hugged me. I tightened my grip on her and just smiled. I love this girl i thought.

"I ain't a bitch, bitch" She scoffed, and we walked out of the mall.

We drove back to her crib and chilled. I got messages from Ana saying to kill myself ect. but I didn't care. I was hanging with the one girl who could change my life forever. That's all I needed.

"I was thinking.... I want to go stay with Jalen for a few weeks in Houston" she said unexpectedly.

I didn't want her to leave but she wants to see her cousin, so I just nodded my head. "That's fine. I'll be here waiting for you" I kissed her cheek, and she wiped it off.

"Nasty" she said playfully. I slapped the back of her head and she put me in a choke hold.

"KEEP PLAYING W ME" She yelled as we wrestled. Now that's one thing I'll always remember.

Her laugh made me get all mushy inside. That smile made my heart skip beats. Being with her made me go crazy. After a few minutes of almost killing each other, we laid on the floor. She held my hand as we stared at the ceiling.

"For life?" I whispered.

She looked at me with a bright smile. "Maybe"
