BACK HOME 📍.

7:49 PM ⏰.

We pulled up in-front of the house. We were finally home, back in New York. I felt some kinda relief being back in the country, not having to be to far from Dd. But that still worried me, I would have to speak to Dd again, I would have to see his face.

"Thank fuckin' god we back." Jay sighed as he lifted his luggage from the trunk of the Uber X. "Right, y'all salty asses ruined the trip." Dudeylo looked between Aria and I. "Aria ya mean.." I side eyed her, "Me? Don't even get me started Darrian." She angrily sighed and stomped away to the porch stairs.

"But it's true, yo ass ruined the trip." I mugged her, "Yo fuckin' bitchass invited me, you told me to come! Don't try to blame yo relationship problems on me!" She snapped back, "I ain't know you was gon' be a phony bitch the whole time. Why don't ya ass just go home?", "Cause ion want to, the fuck."

I just rolled my eyes because she was being a hypocrite. She didn't like Dd, or wanna be around me, but wanted to stay with us? Like make it make sense.

We all grabbed our luggage and headed up the porch stairs, into the the house. My heart started to beat kinda fast, thinking if Dd was actually here, and I would have to see him face to face again. "Ayo Dd!" Jay yelled out, there was no response. "Dd!" He yelled out once again, "where this lil nigga at?" He then walked over to DD's room door and opened it.

"Nigga he not here, duh." Dudeylo rolled his eyes, "Thank god." Aria mumbled, "let me text him...he shoulda been hea'." Jay whipped out his phone and started typing. "Why you even lookin' fa him?" I shrugged, "Cause, I ain't see Ma brotha in like a week, I wanna say hi to bro." He mugged me in return.

"You miss that nigga? Hah." I said sarcastically. "Look, y'all really gotta figure shit out. Even with you Aria, y'all all needa make up." Dudeylo butted in, "Yeah like a play date or sum shit." Jay laughed. "Niggas don't like me." Aria shrugged and tried to sound like a lil ass victim.

"Nah, you don't like niggas bro." I looked at her with a mean mug on my face. "Anyways, Dd said he somewhere with this Nigga...Zay?" Jay made a confused face. I could feel my heart start to race, and my face felt hot. Zay? That's the nigga Dd said he was talkin to. "Wait...where they exactly at?" I questioned, "he ain't say.", "Ask him dumbass.", "Ight, damn."

Jays fingers started to type again, "He at the Arcade, childish ass nigga." He then chuckled, "Yeah I'm sliding on that nigga." I heavily sighed and hastily walked out the door. I could here foot steps following after me, "So you just gon' leave Darrian?" Aria called out, "Yes bruh! I gotta do something!" I yelled at her, "You gotta bribe Dd into getting back with you huh? Even tho he's already with another nigga?".

"Aria I don't got time for ya shit. Just let me go and leave me alone.", "Wow, your standards are so low, once again. He cheated on you with Milani, then he's already with another Nigga? And you just gon go crawling back.." she actually made a couple of points. But did I care? No. I miss Dd, and I wanna keep the past in the past.

"Yup, and is." I shrugged and then started walking again. Aria just felt so angry, and kinda misunderstood. That her best friend since the sand box would choose a cheater over her, what did He have that Aria didn't?

The arcade was just down town, it would be kind of a lengthy walk but i'll be okay. Aria keeps trying to make it seem like DD's such a terrible person, but I know if I wanted him back, I could get him back in a second. He could be with that new nigga and all, but if I told him 'let's get back together' he'll listen to me immediately. So why would I really have to worry?

Aria could just shut her fucking trap, she's my best friend, not my girlfriend, she just can't understand that. And it's never gonna change, I may have lead her on in some type of way, but still, she just needs to give up.

I don't wanna completely cut her off but, she's making it hard for me.

The cold, New York breeze blew against my face. After being in Jamaica for a while, I got used to the warm weather and sunny sky. Now New York was just cold and gloomy, with crack heads and rats.

And if I'm gonna have to fight the nigga for Dd back, I WILL. I seem desperate, and down bad, but...y'all would do the same thing for a motherfucker you loved.

Buy anyways, I made it to the arcade. It was pretty full, everybody and they mama was in this bitch. It was a big place, so I had to look around every game for Dd. The neon flashing lights helped me a bit in the dim place.

I noticed the two playing a race car game, laughing their asses off. I've never seen Zay before, but there was Dd, so I assumed it was him. He had big curly hair just like Dd, but it was black, and he kinda looked like a pale ass fish.

"Yo! David!" I called out, his eyes started to scatter looking for the sound of his voice. He finally locked eyes with me, and his face softened, and he smiled a bit bigger. "Darrian?" He left go of his steering wheel and lowered one foot down from the platform. It looked like he was gonna stand up.

"Who's he?" Zay looked confused, "Cmon Dd, we gotta talk...alone." I was gesturing him to stand up, "Where you gon take him?" That lil nigga kept asking questions. "Can you shut ya brace face ass up? Goddamn." I rolled my eyes.

"Ight, damn then." He mugged me, "Relax Ddot, cmon let's go to the back." Dd grabbed my hand and guided me to side exit of the arcade.

We walked by the dumpsters and stopped, he let go of my hand then turned to face me.

"I'm so happy your back, I missed seeing you face to face. I would hug you but-." He started to explain but I cut him off, "Don't start thinking shit sweet Dd. Let's not forget what yo ass been doing.", "Look I'm fuckin' sorry, I've been acting like the victim this whole time, and just being stupid. I fucked up real bad and I don't know how to fix it." He started to get all teary eyed.

"But your already with another nigga? You used to say you in love, and I said that shit back. But now look where the fuck we at." I shrugged. "I don't even fuck with Zay fr, he's just been here for me. While you left me for Jamaica.", "And I still love you, But I get if you just don't wanna be with me anymore, it's my fault." He continued to sniffle.

"I'm glad you're finally taking accountability. And I'm gonna admit that I fucked up to. I could've just cancelled the trip, and not going with fucking Aria." I sighed, "Yeah but not as bad as I did. I just feel like I don't deserve you in some way." Dd shrugged, his nose started to tint red, and tears rolled down his cheek.

The crying definitely wasn't gonna phase me, but I was already planning to make up with him.

"You don't have to be upset tho Dd, stop the crying shi'." I grabbed his cheek and softly wiped the tears off him, "I know but, I just don't wanna lose you.", "Where was this energy when I was outta the country?" I kinda chuckled, "Just seeing your face in person again makes me rethink about my mistakes.".

"Hmm, I don't know. You seem like you're giving me a sob story.", "It might seem like that but, I just want you back. But I know you don't want me back.", "You're just assuming tho. Can you read ma' mind or somethin'? Cause who say's I don't want you back?" I made a slightly confused face.

He looked up at me and we made direct eye contact, "I mean...if I was you I wouldn't take me back neither." Dd shrugged, "Good thing yo ass not me." I cupped his right cheek, then kissed him.

I pulled him in closer by his waist, it felt like we were holding on to each other for eternity. I hadn't touched him in what felt like forever, and I missed that touch. His scent, and how his lips felt against mine. My heart started to beat so hard against my chest, it literally felt like I was gonna pop.

And I could feel DD's heart beat too, from how close we were. Then I let go.

Dd just smiled at me with his red cheeks, and his lil red nose. "Im still a lil mad at yo cheating ass tho. Shit still not sweet." I playfully chuckled, and took my hands off his waist. "That kiss didn't seem like you was that mad tho, maybe we could plan something for tomorrow? Make shit sweeter y'know." He chuckled.

"Don't get too ahead now, but I'll think about it. See you back at the house? Don't forget you still gotta talk to Ari.", "I'll handle that bitch easily. But yeah, see you later. Let me go finish my date." He giggled again and then kissed me on my cheek. "Don't have to much fun.", "Bye Darrian." Dd waved then walked back into the arcade through the exit.

My heart was still pounding, I finally felt somewhat happy again. I kissed him again after like a week, I've never went that long without him. I may have gave In too quickly, or excepted his apology to fast, but I didn't wanna waste anymore time being upset at him.

I wanted him back so I was gonna have him back. And I got what I wanted. There was some things I was still upset about, but we could talk about those things another time.
