"Babe, I'm going out somewhere!" Kelly Oubre Jr's girlfriend Nia said, leaving him alone on the couch again.
"What, with who?" Kelly asked, looking over at her.
"Devin," She responded, and his jaw clenched. He was beginning to absolutely hate Devin because of how much time Nia would spend with him instead of her own boyfriend.
"No you're not." He said bluntly, causing her to stop in her tracks before turning to face him.
"Excuse me?" She said, shocked that he even thought that he could tell her where she could and could not go.
"No. You're. Not." he repeated, making Nia roll her eyes and she continued to make her way out the apartment. Before she could even open the door, Kelly was there to block the doorway. "Don't go anywhere with him.." He practically begged her.
"Kelly what is your damn problem?" Nia said, looking at him as if he was crazy. What was so bad about going anywhere with her best friend? It's not like she was cheating on him.
"What's my problem?" He scoffed, looking down at the shorter girl. "My problem is that you've been completely oblivious to how much you've been ignoring me just to hang out with Devin. Yes, I may sound very fucking needy but I wanna spend time with my girlfriend too."
"Kels," She started, laughing at how he was acting. "Babe, he and I are just friends."
He gave her a look that said "Are you kidding me?" before shaking his head, "Don't even say that because before we dated, and you and I were 'just friends' so cut that out." He said.
That angered her, "You've honestly got to be fucking kidding me, Kelly get your head out of your ass I'm not cheating on you if that's what you think. Plus, if I want to hang out with my best friend, the one I grew up with may I add... I can sure as hell do that." She said, before pushing him aside and she made her way out of the apartment.
She thought he was being childish, but she also realized he was acting... jealous. But she just wanted to push that thought aside and enjoy time with her best friend.
A day had gone by since their mini argument, Nia still feeling bad for how she reacted to him and just left him behind like that. She decided to talk to him about it before she asked him to meet up with her at their favorite restaurant. The two met up, Kelly clearly eager to hear what she had to say.
"First of all, I wanna start off by saying I'm sorry for how I acted. Yes, you are my boyfriend and yes I realized that I'd get jealous too if you were spending so much time with your girl best friend. I love you alot, you know that. And again, I'm sorry." She started the conversation off.
He smiled at her from across the table. "Well, I appreciate the apology and I accept it. But, I guess I overreacted as well because I don't really like Booker sometimes. I always have the fear that he'll eventually take you from me, and I sure as hell don't want that," He said.
"Take me from you? Kelly, we've been together for the longest time. Sure, I've known Devin basically my entire life, he also has a girlfriend. The reason I was spending so much time with him is because I was trying to help him out with picking out a ring to propose to her." She explained.
Kelly felt dumb now, well at least now everything made sense. "So... you were spending time with him to help him propose?" He asked, earning a nod from his girlfriend. "Wow, shit now I definately feel dumb for thinking he was trying to take you from me."
Nia laughed, before she got up to kiss him. "My gosh Kels, you are such a dork." She said, earning a grin from her boyfriend.
