Dj: Amber baby they won't be here for long just until their places are ready
Amber: I don't care D I was finally gettin to spend some time alone with you.
She walked towards me and sat in my lap. I put my hands on her hips. Dj: I promise it won't be long a week or two tops.
Amber: Ugh whatever Lo juro por Dios que te dan en mi último nervio
She stormed off

Lexi: Where mama
Amber: She went to her doctors appointment

I rolled my eyes and walked in the kitchen. I grabbed a bottle of water out the refrigerator
Amber: So you leave today right
I turned around. She was suckin on a piece of fruit
Lexi: You kno what
Dj: Lexi somebody here to see you
I put the top on my water bottle and walked back in the living room
Tati: BITCH

Lexi: He just invited us so he could meet Amber
Tati: Girl bye that nigxa just wanna see yo ass
Lexi: I doubt it
I turned into my apartment complex. Ti put her hand on her side and looked at me
Tati: You kno damn well... and did y'all ever tell Dj
Lexi: No and I wanna keep it that way
Tati: Why you think he gone be mad
Lexi: Well I feel like I shouldn't tell him me and his bestfriend was fuckin around and on top of that he begged me to get an abortion
Tati: Yea thats true I guess I get it plus Dj is very protective of you
Lexi: Right girl so no need for all the drama
Tati: Well enough about them this apartment is bomb as hell
Lexi: Girl what Dj found it for me and he found mama's too
Tati: When is your mom moving into hers
Lexi: Ion kno. What I do kno it's gone be hard for her... transitioning from a five bedroom house to a one bedroom apartment
Tati: Ion kno it might be easier than you think. She gets peace and serenity that's worth any type of transition
Lexi: I guess I mean I really wanna kno why she wanted to move so bad down here
Tati: How bad
Lexi: She pressed the issue for a good two weeks before I caved and then she was really happy when I was excited to move and get a new start
Tati: Well maybe that's what it is she just wanted a fresh start
Lexi: Maybe
The movers knocked on the door
Lexi: Perfect timing
Mover1: Well we like to be on time
He stood about 6'2 in my doorway. He was slim but thick in the right places and he had green eyes. He motioned for the other movers to start bringin the stuff up. I walked to the kitchen and leaned on the counter Lexi: Damn girl he is fine as hell
Tati: Bitch yes girl look at his muscles We watched as his muscle flexed every time he lifted something. The sweat rolled down the creases of his arm and hit the floor.
Tati: Let me stop watchin this man before Brandon lose a girlfriend
I laughed
Lexi: You stupid Tati come help me unpack these boxes
We went to my room and started unpacking clothes and all types of shit.
Tati: Eww girl what's this
She held up my dildo up. I snatched it away from her
Lexi: You kno what it is
She started laughin
Tati: Whens the last time you had sex Lexi girl
She rubbed my back. I moved my shoulder making her hand fall.
Tati: Tell me girl what like a month or two
She paused
Tati: Lexi three or four months
I looked away
Tati: It's been longer
Lexi: Yes ok damn
Tati: Don't damn me how long has it been
I whispered
Lexi: A year
Tati: What you kno I ain't hear yo ass
Lexi: It's been a year Tati
She stared at me
Tati: Lex
Lexi: No you kno what I kno what you gone say
Tati: No Lexi I'm just..
I stood up and got off the floor
Lexi: It doesn't matter it's not important
Tati: It is important Lexi you haven't had sex since August and
Lexi: Ti drop it
Mover2: Ma'am
He knocked on the door before entering.
Lexi: Yea
Mover2: We're almost done
Lexi: Right let me get my checkbook
All three of us walked to the kitchen.
Mover1: Hey beautiful
I smiled
Lexi: Thanks but I'm bout to pay you
He chuckled
Mover1: That's not why I complimented you
Lexi: Well in that case thank you... uh
He held his hand out
Mover1: Chris
Lexi: Thanks Chris and here's your payment
He took the check and looked at it
Chris: Lexi is it
Lexi: Yes
Chris: I was wondering if I could take you out to dinner
Lexi: Ummm
Tati turned to look at me
Chris: I can write my number down and you can call me when you're ready
Tati gave him a piece of paper and a pen
Tati: Here she'll call you
I looked at her then she looked back at me. Chris handed her the pen and the paper
Chris: My movers brought in the rest of your things so I hope I'll be seeing
Lexi: I..
Tati: She's looking forward to it
He smiled and walked out of the door. Tati popped my arm
Lexi: Ouch
I grabbed my arm
Tati: What the hell is wrong with you
Lexi: Nothin but if you hit me again I will kill you and the only thing that'll be wrong is that I loss a good friend.
Tati: Lexi you was about to let that man walk up out of here and not take his number
Lexi: Shut up Tati you made sure I didn't
Tati: Damn right now call him
Lexi: No
Tati: Lexi
Lexi: No Tatiana
I walked out to the living room and started unpacking more boxes
Tati: Lexi why won't you...
She paused a came around the counter.
Tati: You're seriously still holding on to him. He's a jackass Lexi
Lexi: He's not Ti. We were young and neither of us knew what we were doing that baby deserved
Tati: So you killed it and young... it was a year ago
Lexi: You don't think I beat myself up everyday about that shit
Tati: So why you goin back to the same guy who makes you beat yourself up everyday
I paused
Lexi: Clearly we're not convincing each other so let's just agree to disagree
Tati: No Lex you can't...
Lexi: Drop it Ti before we say some shit that we might regret later
She held her hands up
Tati: Fine have your crazy ass fantasy
Lexi: Whatever Tati
She hooked up my stereo and turned on the music. She started dancing and I grabbed two glasses and two wine coolers. Drunk dancing and unpacking is how we spent our night. By morning time tired and exhausted was all we felt. We were in my bed sound asleep when her phone ranged. She jumped up and answered
Tati: What
Brandon: So you don't call when you're gonna be gone
Tati: I thought I told you I was spending the entire day with Lexi
She walked out the room. I tossed the covers back over my head until I heard her climb back in the bed
Tati: Men are babies
I laughed
Lexi: He missed you that's all
I pinched at her cheeks. She moved around tryin to stop me
Tati: Girl his ass ain't miss me
Lexi: Ow what time is it
Tati: Oh right the cookout
We hopped up and started getting ready. We pulled up in Dj's driveway him and Amber were standing outside
Amber: Finally damn can we go now
Dj dropped his head
Dj: Y'all had to be late
Tati: Calm your pit Dj we're only thirty minutes late
Amber got back out the car
Amber: Thirty minutes too long
Tati: Fuck you Amber and get yo raggedy ass back in the goddamn car cuz no one cares about yo whinin ass.
Amber: Uggggghhh DJ
She got back in the car
Dj: Why you do that
Tati rolled her eyes
Lexi: Are we leavin and where is mama
Dj: Come on let's go and she not comin
We got in Dj's car
Lexi: Why she not comin
Dj: She said she was tired and that we should go without her
I sat back and enjoyed the ride over. The anticipation is building in me. I'm so hyped and ready to see him. We pulled up in his driveway and instantly heard music. When we got out the car this girl ran up to Dj. She looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it tho. She hugged him and they talked her and Amber exchanged words then they turned around to us
Dj: Chandra ion kno if you remember her but this my little sister Lexi and here friend Tati
She laughed a little
Chandra: Yea I remember her hey girl
Lexi: Oh I remember you now how you doin
We hugged and Tati and her shook hands.
Chandra: Come in y'all we got a bunch of food, beer and liquor
Dj: My type of party
He said rubbin his hands together.
Amber: Don't get too drunk Dj
Dj: I'm not Aye Chandra where Aug at
August: Behind ya nigxa
We turned around. August stood there lookin like a tall glass of chocolate milk.
Dj: Iight since you wanted to meet her
He tried to pull Amber around she was a little hesitant at first
Dj: Yung, Amber... Amber, Yung
August stepped back and Amber nodded then smiled
Amber: Nice to meet you Yung is it
August: Yea call me August
Tati pulled me to the side
Tati: Did you see that or I'm goin crazy
Lexi: Yea I did but...
Tati: You kno what nevermind forget it
She walked off
Lexi: Wait Tati
I shook my head and went back over by August and Dj. When I walked up I caught August's eye. He wouldn't stop staring at me, making me blush n shit.
August: Lexi
Dj and Amber looked back at me. I twisted my finger in my hair
Lexi: August
Dj: The fux y'all blushin n shit
Lexi: Ain't nobody blushing
August: Yea man
Amber shook her head and Dj rolled his eyes. They walked away to the house but I tried to keep my distance. August leaned down to hug me but I stepped back.
August: You're still mad
Lexi: No, you kno Dj
August: He'll be alright let me hug my baby
I wrapped my arms around his neck. The intensity between us grew stronger as if we had been missing each other for years. He leaned down and wrapped his arms around my waist and put his face in my neck and squeezed me tight.
August: I missed you and I'm sorry
I put my hands on his shoulders then pushed back to give us a little distance
Lexi: Don't be you couldn't make me lay down on that table so...
He pulled me in and hugged me tight again
August: I still missed you
I smiled big
Lexi: I missed you too
Tati came up behind us
Tati: Come on love birds everybody lookin for August
Lexi: Love birds
August smiled then looked down at me.
August: C'mon love bird
