The playoffs were once again upon the Celtics and for once in what seemed to be a long time, the odds were against them. Everyone knew the Nets would win this series, the only debate left to have was whether or not the Celtics would be able to take one game. Plagued with injuries all season, the Celtics fell from grace and found themselves in the play-in tournament where Jayson dropped fifty points to heave them over the Wizards and lock in the seventh seed.
Brooklyn was an absolute powerhouse with their three stars. It was a no-brainer to pick a team of James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and underappreciated Jeff Green over Jayson Tatum and Kemba on-his-last-legs Walker. With Jaylen's injured wrist, he was locked away on the bench leaving all the team's offensive weight on Jayson, sometimes Kemba and Marcus Smart when he felt like becoming Steph Curry.
All in all, Yara and Cienna saw it fit to come to Brooklyn and show their support even though they both knew how the series would pan out.
Yara's Confessional: “Yes, I'm here mainly to support Jayson's stat-pad playoff series, but I'm mostly here to make Cienna openly admit she has commitment issues with Jaylen present. I understand how intrusive that sounds, but the first step to addressing this is acceptance. Admitting she has these fears and confronting them will go a long way in soothing the ineludible commitment argument in their future. So I rented out a whole section of this restaurant, just so no one else can mind the business that's not mine.”
The party of four had arrived half an hour ago finding their food ready all thanks to Yara's pre-ordering. In the short time, they'd already engaged in short, playful back and forths. It's how Jayson, Cienna, Yara and Cienna's cousin, Cianna, had been since highschool. Highly competitive and constantly throwing jabs at each other.
Not one known for having a filter, Yara waits for a short silence to begin her mission, "So, how has living together been so far?" Jayson lightly kicks Yara's foot underneath the table knowing of his girlfriend's ulterior motives. She stares back at him feigning cluelessness, "What? I'm just making conversation, Jay."
Cienna rolls her eyes knowing she couldn't close the door Yara just opened. Trying to discourage her, she gives a short answer, "Good, really. Cianna is sending in my last few boxes tomorrow."
Mirroring her best friend's fake smile, Yara turns to Jaylen waiting for his answer. To which, he smiles glancing at Cienna, "It's been solid. I learned Cie has grandma tendencies going to bed at nine pm, drinking tea before bed and all that jazz, literally, she listens to a lot of jazz."
Cienna side-eyes Jaylen turning up her lip, "Excusez-moi! You're the one that got me into tea drinking, monsieur. Plus I only slept early once because I'd been up late all those other nights..." A suggestive look from Cienna sends the other three howling with laughter.
"So I'm guessing you're not scared about living together anymore?" Abruptly, the laughter dies with all eyes set on Yara, a death glare from Cienna. "Okay, we all talk to each other. Everyone here knows you're scared, why are we acting surprised?"
"Because this isn't the time to bring it up, Yar." Jayson chastises earning an eye roll from Yara. Who was she to listen when her talking threw someone down the drain?
"I'm just trying to help!" Cienna chuckles dryly at Yara's comment.
"Hey look, I appreciate your concern but after Jayson heard y'all on the phone, he told me. The first day Cienna moved in, we talked about it and we're exploring ways to work through it." In true Jaylen fashion, he tries to deescalate the situation knowing how both the women could get when it comes to confrontation. No one needed to see that, not today.
Despite Jaylen's efforts, Cienna feels the need to air out her problems with Yara, "Once again trying to insert yourself in situations that don't concern you! Yara I don't know what you're trying to achieve but we live together, so we know when and where to talk out our issues. Stop constantly trying to make problems in other people's relationships so that yours looks perfect!"
Jayson had requested their cars be brought to the door, knowing no one was staying a second after this argument.
"Oh fuck you! You're projecting! You have no idea how to fix your relationships for yourself and I being the good friend I am, tries to help you. Because God knows you're just gonna stay blaming everyone but yourself for how you can't keep an adult relationship!" Despite growing up in so many different places, Yara was a Boston girl and as much as she tried to suppress her accent, it came out once the yelling started.
Cienna's Confessional: “Oh she wants to start reading?! Well call me Audre Lorde and open the damn library, I'm about to check this bitch out.”
Cienna was fuming trying to translate every curse that came to her head into English so Yara could understand exactly what type of bitch she was. Jaylen sees the silence as an opportunity to pick up his girlfriend's things and lead her to the exit.
"Salope prétentieuse! Tu as atteint un sommet au lycée!" Cienna yells a few feet away from the table, determined to get the last word in. Before Yara could reply to what she's sure was Cienna calling her a bitch, they were gone. She slumps back in her seat averting her gaze from Jayson's judging glare. She didn't want to hear 'I told you so' right now if ever.
"And what did I say?" Jayson leans over to make sure Yara saw his face.
"Shut up, let's go." Angrily, Yara picks up her purse the clicking of her heels only getting more and more aggressive as she took small yet quick steps to their car.
