Real Love?

Chapter 30

I left the area where August, Tre, and Colin were. I went downstairs and saw Ryan sitting at the table with her head in her hands.

"Hey hun." I said, sitting next to her

"Hi." she said, sounding depressed

"What's up?" I asked her

"Today was suppose to be a good day. You were suppose to be happy, getting ready for a fun night at the club. And then come back so we can get ready for our trip tomorrow. But everything went downhill. Nothing went the right way, and your 21st birthday is going trashy as fuck." she said, frustrated

"I'm glad you care, but let it go Ryan. I only care you were here for me the whole time. You never left my side, and i've had fun." I said

She smiled then frowned, "How come you always see the light in the dark?"

"Because you need to learn to hold your head up high and keep it there. Understand where i'm coming from?" I said to her

She nodded her head and said, "Jade. I have to tell you something important. Like EXTREMELY important. And it stays between me and you."

I nodded my head, "Ok. What's up?"

She was about to say what she had to say until August decided to come downstairs screaming that he was hungry. I looked at him and laughed.

"Get up and cook for daddy." August said

"YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!" I said (from the Vine, im lame asf)

"Girl whatever. Since it's your birthday today, ima order Chinese food." he said getting his phone and walked off

"So what were you saying?" I asked Ryan

She looked down and said, "I'm dating someone. But I don't want anyone knowing but you."

I scrunched my eyebrows and said, "Ok, who is it?"

"His code name is Sherlock. I don't want to tell you who right now, but sooner or later you'll figure out." She said

I shrugged knowing I would figure out really soon, "Ok. But this would be smoother if you just told me."

"I know, but I don't know how to tell you and I don't think i'm ready to tell you right now." she said

"Ok, I respect your decision. Let's go get ice cream though." I said, craving ice cream

"In this weather? You got me fucked up girl." Ryan said, slightly laughing

"Come on, please. We can go to that cute candy shop in Atlantic Station, and you wouldn't have to get ice cream." I said whining

"Ok, ok. Stop whining, but you aren't driving. We are either riding Marta, getting Uber, or catching a cab." she said demandingly

"Let's do Uber!!" I said

"Ok. Get ready in the next 10 minutes because i'm requesting in 8 minutes from right now." Ryan said

I ran up the stairs and went straight to the shower. I never leave the house without washing my whole body off. I put on a plain white shirt, black tight, and my Roshe Runs.

"Wow, i'm suprised. Finished in exactly 10 minutes." Ryan said

I took a bow, "Why thank you Ryan."

We both laughed and joked aorund. While we were waiting for the Uber person to show up, I started wondering where Rashad and Micaela went.

"Hey, do you think Micaela is ok? I mean we haven't heard from her and Rashad looked pretty pissed." Ryan said, stealing the thoughts out of my head
