I woke up this morning and decided to do a little spring cleaning. I got up, did my usual business (toilet, teeth, skin, hair in messy bun, let the dogs out, and cook breakfast). After doing all that I put on Pandora and started cleaning, starting with the living and dining room. While I was cleaning I got a knock at the door and it was my main bitch Ty'Shawnna.

"Wassup bitch" I said answering the door and hugging her. "Hey Hoe what's up with the messed up furniture?" she replied walking in the door with her usual stank face when something is wrong. Only her smh.

"Well if you must know I'm doing some spring cleaning." I said rolling my eyes and rearranging the furniture. "But it's the summer." she stated, and all I could do is chuckle and shake my head.

After finishing the living room and dining room we walked to my room, which she decided to help me clean. While we were cleaning she pulled out a box the contained old photos and memories. As she goes through the pictures she picks up one with Dustin, her, Kelly, and myself. 

"Remember this day?" she asked laughing. "How could I forget, that's the first day we went on our first double date." I replies smiling and taking the picture from her. The good old days when life was a little easier than it is now.

Hours later and we were finally finished cleaning my the house. I hugged her goodbye and laid across the couch looking at all the photos. Before I could get comfortable there's another knock and the door and the dogs start barking.

"What the hell is this, bother Shanell day!" When I looked through the peep hole, it was my best friend Dustin and my brother Omarion. I open the door and hug them as they walked in, saving my best friend for last. We hugged for what it felt like decades.

"Hey best I missed you!" Dustin said as he hugged me tight. "Hey bestie and I missed you too." I replied hugging him and not wanting to let go because he had on my favorite cologne on. "Do I need to give yall a couple of hours or are yall good?" Omarion said and we both gave him the finger. He's such an asshole.

We walked over to the couch where I had the pictures out. "Yo are these the pictures of when we were younger?!" asked Dustin grabbing all of them and laughing.

"Yea they are. Ty found them while we were cleaning up" I replied smiling. Gosh I missed my best friend and brother so much. We barely get to see each other anymore, especially with their music careers taking off and my getting started with my business.

"Yo I remember this day. This is when we first went to 6 Flags and we were all scared of the haunted night." Omarion said laughing. " Especially you O, look at this one!" I said laughing and showing him. He snatched it out my hand and gave me the finger.

Dustin picked up a photo of me and him sleeping on the way back home. "Yo this is so old, We were all tired out after that pool party." Dustin said. "Yea we were, I miss those days." I replied smiling and laying my head on his shoulder. He reached over, kissed my forehead, and laid his head on mine. I swear I love this man...oops did I just say that!

After hours of chilling with them, it was time for the, to leave. I felt a tingling sensation after hugging Dustin and him kissing my forehead. No I was not turned on...or was I? What is this feeling I'm going through!? I put all of the pictures away, except the one of me and Dustin. I put that one on my dresser mirror. I thought to myself...I have the greatest guy for a best friend. I looked over at my phone and saw it was almost 10 in the morning. I decided to get up, put on some clothes, do my hair, make sure the dogs had their necessities, and headed to class with Dustin heavy on my mind.
