So close But So far Away

caught up

"Oh shit." I heard Mariah mumble underneath her breath.

"Oh shit is right." Capri said from the couch.

"So when did this start happening?" I questioned.

"Nothing is happening Kaylee." Kai tried to plead.

"Right so 'nothing' is walking out your room with another girl with hickeys on your neck?" I asked with a raised brow.

"Ok let me explain." She said inching closer to me.

"Ok explain." I said.

"Wait someone needs to explain what's going on." Mika chimed in.

Capri took in a breath, "long story short me and Mariah were dating and Kai and Leelee had a little something."

I groaned out, "Can we finish the project?"

"Can I explain, Please." Kai pleaded again.

"There's nothing to explain, We weren't together so why would I care?" I was genuinely not upset.

"Capri are you mad?" Mariah said slowly walking towards Capri.

"Honestly not really." She said leaning back into the couch.

"Oh.. So are we still together?" I looked at Mariah in disbelief.

"You cannot be deadass asking her that." I said before I could think.

"I am, and what's your issue with it?" She said putting her hands on her hips.

"You were just cheating on her and down your asking her if y'all are together?" I said narrowing my eyes.

"Girl shut the fuck up..." I looked around to see who the hell this Bitch was talking too.

"You're talking to me?" I said standing up to my feet.

Capri stood upright next to me. "I know you're not about to defend Her Capri." Mariah said with her arms crossed.

"But I am." Capri Responded.

"You're MY girlfriend." Is this hoe cool?

"She isn't your girlfriend you dummy." I said again in disbelief.

"Bitch who was talking to?" Mariah said taking a step closer.

"You know what..." I stepped back and stopped talking.

"That's what I thought, Anyway Capri, we can get past this." It took everything in me NOT to jump across this table and beat this bitch up.

"There's nothing to get past Mariah you're not my girlfriend." Mariah had a shocked expression on her face... No way she thought Capri was gonna stay with her.

Mariah just scoffed, "You're only saying that so you can make Kaylee happy but you'll be kissing me by the end of the day."

"Mariah Leave me alone, I need to finish my work." Capri said rolling her eyes.

After Mariah left And Kai went in her room but still tried to talk to me.

"Are you okay?" Capri asked as we were in the fast food drive through.

"Yea i'm fine why would I not be." I said truthfully.

"Because you seemed to like her I mean you guys..." I shook my head. "I didn't fuck her and if we did why you keep bringing it up?"

"Because..." She said picking at her fingers

"because?"

"Because I guess you could call it jealousy." She said in a whisper.
