"Wassup..." I said looking at Cleo
"You've been so quiet, wassup with you??" She asked
"Nothing..." I said
"Talk to me. How's the boys doing in school? Are they doing something new this school year??" She said looking at me
"Well of course they are both doing great in school. Rhys still beats himself up whenever he gets anything below an 80, but that has always been him. This school year, Geo has joined the choir. They are having a play that the choir will be singing in and he wants you to be there..." I said
"I'll be there..." she said
"They miss you a lot. Rhys is always asking when you are coming and I don't what to tell him..." I said looking at her
"I promise once I get everything together I will come to see them..." she said
"Okay..." I said
"What about you??" She asked
"Same shit. Working, drawing and taking care of the kids..." I said and she nodded
"You still do photography??" I asked"Yeah, I do it here and there. I've really been focusing on the web series..." she said
"I'm ready to see it..." I said truthfully
"It's good..." she said and I nodded
"How has Rhys's doctor appointments going??" She asked
"They are going good actually. He's doing better. Less headaches which I'm happy about. Overall he's doing much better..." I said
"That's good..." she said
I felt her looking at me.
"Delilah..." she said calling my name
"Hmmm..." I said
"What's wrong??" She asked grabbing my chin so I can look at her
"Nothing..." I said
"Come here..." she said pulling my arm
I got up, went to the other side and sat in her lap facing her.
"Tell me what's up..." she said looking at me while rubbing my thighs
"You don't think this is weird??" I asked
"What??" She asked
"This??" I said pointing between us
"No, why would this be weird??" She asked
"Because we are broken up. After breaking up with someone I've never been their friend or whatever we are..." I said looking at her
"First off, we aren't friends. Friends don't kiss they way we did at the restaurant..." she said making me laugh
"Secondly, the people you fooled with before me were toxic and immature. When you and someone break up it doesn't always have to be bad blood. It's not weird, we are fine..." she said looking at me"Okay..." I said smiling
"Well I need to get inside, Bri is waiting on me..." I said"What y'all bout to do??" She asked
"Watch movies..." I said and she nodded
"I was going to ask you to stay with me tonight..." she said leaning her head back on the headrest
"Not tonight, maybe another night..." I said
"Well before you leave give me a hug..." she said smiling
