Not Your Best Friend

Making Tough Decisions Can Cut Deep

Tough decisions

Keisha

After I left Jason's house, I really had a lot to think about, so I went to a close friend of mine's house. She was a bartender and partial owner of a nightclub, and she was the perfect person to go to because I needed someone who wouldn't be biased about my relationship with Jace.

I knocked on her door, hoping she was home because she hadn't been home since she started seeing some new dude. She answers it and welcomes me in."key, what are you doing here," Iris says"I needed somewhere to go, and I didn't want to go home," Keisha says"what's up?""Guess who is at Jace's house right now?""Who?" "Cheryl!""his baby mama," Iris exclaimed, her voice getting a little louder. "Yeah, and apparently, she will be there for a few days.""Well, then you're gonna have to decide.""What do you mean?""Is your love for Jason strong enough that you can deal with her being in your life for the rest of your life? Can you deal with the possibility of him slipping up and sleeping with her again?"

I looked at my friend and knew I had a decision to make when it came to me and Jason. "so, how's your love life going?""It's not," Iris says with a sigh. Confused, Keisha asked, "What about-""He's not over this chick, and he did something really shady to try to break them up. Even though they're married now.""wow""It's no biggie. I will not hold on to someone who doesn't know if he wants me or not." "Damn, I guess we are in the same boat.""not really. Jace loves you, but he needs to put Cheryl in her place. But you need to decide if it's worth it. Do you want to deal with that woman for the rest of your life?"

It's honestly been months. Jace called me after the day I left his house, but I needed the time to figure me out. I spent all that time harboring feelings for him, and then we were in a relationship, but was I truly happy? I don't really know. I knew I loved him. I still want to be with him, but dealing with his crazy baby mama who can't seem to let him go is really worth it. It's been months, and I still don't know. There is a knock on my door, and I open it without even checking to see who it is, and it's Jace. "What are.."Before I could ask what he was doing there, he walked in and slammed my door shut. He pinned me to the wall before kissing me. Part of me wants to fight it, but I can't. It's been months, and I have been missing him. Our kiss is desperate and filled with so many emotions it goes for a while before we both need air. He pecks my lips before touching his forehead to mine.

RakimI was at the house chilling and honestly thinking about Porsha. If it was up to me, we would be together. But she needed to decide if I was what she wanted because, at the end of the day, she and Nico were a family. They had their son, and if she wanted to be a family with her son's father, I would give her that. I wasn't gonna allow her to play with my heart. I hated having feelings for her because I honestly was beginning to feel like a damn wimp. There's a knock on my door from someone I wasn't expecting to see at all. Nico and I had been friends for years, but once he started to dog P, I couldn't stand there and be his friend when he was hurting our best friend. "What are you doing here?" I was surprised to see Nico."I thought we could talk," He says, walking into my house. What could we have to talk about?
