We had a good time at the engagement party. The next morning I woke and did my usually Saturday routine. I went jogging for an hour, stopped by a local coffee spot and got me an ice coffee. when I returned home Shelly was sitting outside in he car texting on the phone. I tried to walk past her, but she noticed me jumped out the car and followed me in the house.

"Good morning to you too miss thang." she said. closing the door behind her, I dropped my keys and wristlet on the hall table. I walked into the kitchen with Shelly still on my heels. "So you going to ignore me?"

"what Shelly." I said. I turned and looked at her with her hands on her hips.

"What the hell was that last night?"

"What was what?"

"Don't be funny." I smirked. I decided I would keep myself busy , I started cleaning the kitchen starting with the dishes. "Ryan what the hell was Craig doing there?"

"It was his engagement party Shel."

"You know what I mean, the look on your face I thought you was going to kill him."

"I didn't."

"I see that what did he say to you out there?" she said. she pulled the chair out from the island and sat down.

"He basically said that he was sorry for hurting me, that he didn't know that Court was my cousin and how he was going to come back to me." I said.

"And you believed that shit."

"Did 'I say that I believed it? you asked me a question I am answering it Shel."  I was starting to get annoyed with her.

"Well your mouth is saying it but your eyes are saying something different." I looked up at her giving her the evil eye. "Listen all I am saying it when he did that shit to you ....I wanted to go out and hunt his ass down. You don't know how you were, you didn't eat stayed in the house all day....everyday."

"I know Shelly I don't need you to remind me."

"Ryan I am not trying to preach to you but your my best friend , my sister and when you hurt I hurt...that's all I am saying." I could tell that she was being sincere she was right I didn't go out my house for nothing for like a month and a half when Craig left me. Shelly and my dad brought me whatever I needed, I lost like 15lbs just from that.

"I know, I know Shelly and I promise you that." I walked around and gave her a hug. She gave me a smile.

"So that Chris was something unh?" She said. I shook my head at her smiling. He was something I introduced him to my dad and he was taken back by him. My grandmother also thought he was a good dude told me to promise her that I will bring him for Sunday dinner, I told her I will. He was too good to be true I swear. Shelly stayed over for awhile until she got a mysterious call which caused her to run out my house. When she left I decided I would start dinner, I was dancing around the kitchen that I didn't even notice that Chris come in.

"I cant wait until you dance like that for me. I jumped dropping the knife that was in my hand.

"Oh shit you sacred me." I clutched my chest breathing heavy.

"I am sorry I didn't mean to." He laughed. I loved that laugh so much I could listen to it all day.

"How did you get in my house?"

"Shelly was leaving out, said I could find you in the kitchen." he leaned on my island looking at me. He looked good he was rocking some blue jean true religions, red t-shit and black and red 7'S on his feet he looked sexy as shit.

"Wow...ok." I picked up the knife off the floor. "So what is going on....did you enjoy last night ?"

"Yes very much so." He said. We just stood there staring at each other not saying anything.
