"Y'all still haven't sat down and talked?" Alexis questioned me while I sat in her room.

Still determined to keep my mind on other things aside from Syre, I had made my way over to Mrs. Smith's home and I "helped" Alexis rummage through her clothes.

She was trying to get a head start on packing up for school and swore she needed to go through her clothes and then convince her Uncle she needed a new wardrobe.

"No, we haven't."

Not that I was counting....but it had been a week and a half since Syre and I had that argument. I was salty at first, about him wanting his space but the more the minutes passed by the more I realized he was right. I needed space too.

I think we had become a bit too attached to each other and I'm not saying that's a bad thing...I'm just saying maybe we needed to take a moment.

"You talk to him?"

She nodded. "Mhm."

"....y'all talked about me?" I inquired. I just couldn't help myself, but to ask.

"Yea. I'm not supposed to say, but I don't care." She laughed. "I know I wasn't a fan of this....thing, from the start, I still may not be. But he misses you bad. He just said that he needs to get his mind clear and figure out what exactly he needs to say before he hits you up."

"What's there to say?"

"A lot according to him. He said that he's "reflecting" whatever the fuck that means."

"Language."

"Mcht, man....I'm grown."

"Not." I giggled and let out a sigh, leaning back into her bed.

"Anyway, he deleted his Instagram and said he's gonna be inactive for a while."

"Now why would he do that?"

"Maybe because you wild' on him the last time some thot messaged him." She said nonchalantly and I let my mouth drop.

"Alexis!"

"My bad....that is what happened tho." She shrugged. "I think he just figures that, he needs to figure out what it is that he really wants. Which is you."

"What I'd be comes to the conclusion that he doesn't want me."

"He won't. He likes you way too much, I don't even think he's been getting much sleep since y'all....declared "space."

I frowned and dropped my head back into the bed.

He ain't getting any sleep cuz I'm not there, that's why. Shit, I wasn't either. I missed his body next to mine. I missed feeling him wrap his arms around me in the middle of the night just so he could pull me close.
