•Chapter 6: Best Friends

3 weeks later

Qasim

"I'm not sure if it's the weed, or what- but I just spilled all my feelings that had developed over the past few weeks for Honey. She sat there looking at me for a moment.

"Wait, what?"

"You heard me Honey- and I ain't repeating myself"

I watched as she nibbled on her bottom lip. Something she did when she was nervous.

"I think we should just be friends Winters....Like a best friend thing.

I nodded slowly, and put the blunt back to my lips. I inhaled and exhaled watching the smoke seep out through my nostrils.

"Best friends it is then"

"Don't be mad Qasim. Please" she begged.

"I'm good O, you wanted friendship and I'm gonna give you that. Best Friends" I stated, putting emphasis on friends.

I knew her ass had feelings for me- but she rather friend zone her feelings than to act on them. She was gonna eat them words later on down the road. I pulled two more times off the blunt and dropped the roach in the cup of water sitting on the table.

"Asshole I was gonna drink that"

"My bad, I ain't know" I chuckled.

My cell went off and I answered it

"Yo"

"What yo ass up to?" AK questioned, while yelling at Liese.

"Chilling with my best friend." I answered, looking over at Honey as she rolled her eyes.

I don't know why she salty, she chose to friend zone shit.

"We going out at about 8 or 9. You and Honey might want to tag along?" he questioned.

I thought about it for a moment. It wasn't like I had shit to do. Trin was with Honey mom for the weekend. It was Friday, and all we were really doing was getting lifted.

I'm down, but you know how Miss Prissy is." I chuckled, letting my gaze land on her.

She looked up with a visible what expression.

"Liese and AK trying to hit up the street life later." I spoke, admiring how fucking gorgeous she really was without all that cake shit.

She looked at the clock, and it was about 7:30.

She nodded indicating that she was down for the cause tonight. I hadn't been out in a while. I tried to stay away from places I knew would cause my ass to be back in jail. My temper wasn't one to be taken lightly.

"Aight. Jermaine and Vanna coming too." he replied.

I smiled a little because of all the shit me, J, and Kaydence used to get into. I hadn't seen J since I got out- but him and Vanna showed me mad support while I was down.

"I ain't seen my nigga since the last time we all got together."

"I know, so this shit should be live as fuck tonight. The whole crew back together. But I'ma let you go so I can get ready." he answered, and I hit him with a quick cool before ending the call.

Something was weighing heavily though. I was trying to figure out why I never saw Honey ass and we fucked with the same people.

"Aye O, if we fuck with the same people- why we never had a run in before now." I questioned.

She shrugged her shoulders, and stood up.

"I'm not sure. Maybe it was just set up for us to run into one another at a later date. No telling." she explained, stretching mid sentence.
