Liv makes it over to Nat's place after a slow ride in the car. Aric opens the door and smiles at the sight.
"Hey L- I mean Liv. What you doing here?"
"I needed to talk to Nat."
"At 8 in the morning? That's Early for you. Is everything okay?"
"It's really not your business."
"Okay. Are you really gonna keep icing me out? I'm sorry about coming on to you when I was drunk."
"You said you weren't remember? So where do the lies end?"
Nat was about to enter the room before she stopped, waiting to hear how the conversation flowed.
He rubs his temples and scratches his beard. "Listen sometimes you just get caught up. I got caught up and I'm sorry I put you in that position. I know how much you care about Natalie and I'm sorry I hurt her and disrespected you."
"I accept your apology but I still believe what I said. A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts."
"Well even if that was the case, there is nothing we can do about it now can we?"
"What do you mean by that Aric?" Nat shoots coming from behind the wall.
"It means, she's talking to someone, and I'm with you." He says trying to get closer to her to grab her hand.
She pushes him away.
"Nah nah let's put it all out there Aric. If she was single, and you weren't with me would you try to be with her yes or no and don't lie to me."
He stayed mute, looking into her eyes.
"Nat you don't have to do this. We can just go in your den area and talk about why I came." Liv tries to intercept.
"Nobody is going nowhere until this man tells the truth. I'm sick of these games. You have me out here looking crazy when you really wanna be with my best friend huh?"
"Nat chill. We don't have to do this. This should all be buried."
"Except it isn't! You keep saying it was a mistake but whenever Liv is around you act different, you keeping tabs on her and asking Spencer about her like she's your business. I'm supposed to be your business. If you think moving in was gonna give you more access to her you are sadly mistaken and that makes it even worse."
"Now you just going left. I asked to move in because I'm trying to fix us. You won't let me live past this mistake. Both of y'all on my case I can't catch a break. I don't need this type of stress, not with the season about to get started." He responds in utter frustration. "Yes, she's attractive, yes I made a mistake, but let's not forget I've never stepped out on you in all the time we've been together."
"But you and Liv have only known each other for a little while. Whose to say your mind hasn't changed? Hmm."
"I'm not about to do this with you. If you're gonna keep this over my head we might as well break up. I'm glad I ain't move in yet. Now you can go about your day, and your life and don't worry bout me." Aric says exhausted of the argument.
He goes in her room and grabs his laptop bag, his hat, phone and change of clothes. once coming back out he says his final goodbye and leaves.
"Nat are you-"
"Don't Liv. Matter of fact can we talk later? I'm currently not in the mood."
Liv leaves her apartment to let her decompress. That conversation needed to be had but the timing couldn't have been worse.
