Final countdown until vacation but I was spending time with gang. We all decided to chill at Quincy's house because his mom took the kids out.

So no babysitting for us! Mylo and Zi were arguing about some stupid bet. No shocker there. Quincy was next to me on IG and Lia the opposite side on her phone too ignoring Mylo and Zi.

As I was tapping through people's finsta stories, I peeped Q posted a pic 5 minutes ago from when I first arrived and we were in the movie room.

Quincy had been acting different lately and while he wasn't saying much, something was on his mind. Before I could overthink it, his phone lit up. He tapped it about to swipe up on a notification when Lia suddenly leaned in.

"Who that is cuzzo?" Lia asks looking in his phone over his shoulder. Quincy hesitates for a split second which caused me to scrunch my face. "Nobody." He replied s his phone.

I glanced at them from the corner of my eye, acting like I wasn't paying attention. Lia wasn't convinced.

"Boy, don't lie." She grabbed his wrist before he could lower his phone completely, peeking at the screen. Her expression shifted instantly. "Ohhh... really, Q?"

Quincy sighed already over the conversation before it started. "It's not like that." Hmmmm.. "Oh, it's like that. Matter fact, let's go!" Lia stood up dragging him toward the kitchen. I kept my eyes on my phone but I wasn't dumb. Whatever that was? Yeah, it meant something.

AURELIA

Quincy leaned against the counter looking like an idiot. He starts playing with his ring, he's prolly wishing this conversation would be over already.

Even though he's my big cousin, that doesn't mean he won't know when he's wrong. Plus he's gonna get embarrassed when I call him out, he's been this way since I've known him.

So since I was born, duh. Anyway time for interrogation cause he's just not making eye contact on purpose.

"So does this 'nobody' have a name?" I crossed my arms waiting for a response. "Lia please not right now." Fuck is he on? Answer dickhead.

"Not right now is crazy. Did you think I was asking for fun? Spill." He rolled his eyes. "You can roll your eyes all you want but I peeped how quick you locked that phone." He mugs me and I do it right back.

He don't run shit. Wait... Heav is rubbing off on me. Damn.

"It's not even like that bro." Running his hands down his face looking annoyed. "Then tell me what it is." He looks like he wanted to fight it but he knows better.

"Igh. I met some girl at the mall, she was cool and we ended up being cool with each other." I can tell he has more to say.

"So you met some 'cool' girl at the mall. Why are you acting weird about it?" Cause it's not just some 'cool' girl you met at the mall.

"I don't know." ... Ok Quincy. "Nigga yes you do." Silence. "So what? You feeling her?" I asked trying to read his body language.

"I thought it was just going to be a friend and chill vibes but I didn't think it would turn into this." Nigga didn't answer my question.

"Into what Quincy?" Niggas don't deserve a nickname. "It's just... complicated" He shakes his head. I should be shaking my head cause what are you doing to my new homegirl??

"Alright. What did she swipe up and say?" Cause he swiped off that shit fast as fuck. "Bro. We not doing this." He tries to walk off but he knows better.

He rolled his eyes and unlocked his phone. "She said 'lmao so this why you been distant?' but I didn't even get the chance to respond cause someone was being nosey." It's my job.

He hands me the phone and I squint at the message. Damn maybe I need glasses. Anywho...

"Distant? So you was entertaining her for real?" She wouldn't have said that for no reason. I handed him back his phone tho. "It's not even like that." He sighs, locking his phone again.

"Bro if it 'wasn't like that' then she wouldn't have been questioning you like that." Now I'm shaking my head. Dummy.

"So keep it real, you feeling or are you just feeling guilty?" He starts to avoid eye contact and rubs his neck. "I mean she's cool but shits just.." He started before I cut him off. "Complicated?" I finish and he rolled his eyes.

"Keep rolling them and they gon get stuck." He sucked his teeth at my comment. "You're saying it's complicated but how? No way you leading a girl on knowing you like Heav." I peep him tense up and his jaw clench.

"I'm not leading nobody on." Still wanna play dumb with this Heaven shit? Okay I guess. "You sure? Cause I'm pretty sure she thinks you two have something going on and then you're over here openly flirting with Heaven every chance you get." Just keeping it real.

"I didn't think it would get this messy. You know ion even fuck with that drama shit." Couldn't tell cause he sure loves listening to it. "Right cause dudes never think." I scoff.

"So what's the move? You keeping it real with her or you're done playing mind games with Heaven?" I'm tryna figure it out.

"She said I'm playing mind games with her?" I'm about to smack the shit outta him. "Quincy get your shit together for real." I get ready to head out but stopped.

"I love you big cuz but you need to figure yourself out and what you want before you lose something or someone you actually care about." Then I dipped.

I love my cousin but sometimes he can be a big dumbass. I'd love to see him and Heaven together but if he doesn't stop throwing hints and actually apply pressure... shii someone else will. She's already an influencer so guys be on that with her, girls too. I don't know which way she goes though. What I do know is Quincy better figure it out.

HEAVEN

Lia walked out of the kitchen charging towards me. "Girl please move for I 'mink mink' your ass." We ended up laughing together.

I don't know what took their conversation so long but shit none of my business. Only thing on my mind is vacay and it's coming so soon so this is my last weekend with gang.

Quincy comes out of the kitchen and squeezing in between Lia and I. "Don't ever try to take my seat again fat head." Nahhh fat head is crazy work.

"Okay cinnamon stick. I hear ya" She replies in return causing Myles to laugh. Damn Q. Me personally?

"Oh ighh niggas got jokes.." And the rest is regular. All of sudden everybody cracking jokes on everyone and we're all laughing. See I won't be able to get this experience for 10 days. Ima miss my friends, my shaylaaaaa's!
