"I got you don't worry. I haven't always treated you the best and I apologize but whenever you needed me I would've came running. I still would."

I got up early the next morning exhausted from the night before but I had stuff to do. Taj had set me up with a real estate agent since I had told him I wanted to move out even though he didn't want me to I didn't wanna be a burden. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth and put on some shorts and a shirt before going downstairs.

"Drink it it'll make you feel better." Joy said to Taj and I frowned once I saw his puffy eyes and red nose. He was wrapped tightly in a blanket even though he was visibly sweating.

I guess they felt my presence because the both faced me.

"Goodmorning how are you?" Joy said with sympathy and I nodded.

"I'm fine."

"I'm sorry for last night Jayde I didn't know." Taj said coughing and I nodded looking him over.

"We were supposed to be meeting with the agents you alright?"

"I'm not feeling good man but Masiah volunteered to take you plus he felt bad for Honey dumb ass." I sighed and nodded my head.

"Alright thank you feel better you look like a tomato" I said walking away hearing Joy laugh and went upstairs.

I brushed my hair back and decided I'd wear a hat since I wouldn't be doing anything spectacular today. I put on a black long sleeve shirt and white shorts. I put on my Michael Kors sandals and applied mascara and lip gloss and put on a red Seminoles hat. I grabbed my black Michael Kors purse and I walked downstairs. I saw Masiah and he smiled slightly and I rolled my eyes and walked towards the door.

"Bye y'all feel better Taj."

"Thank you." He groaned and I walked outside to Masiah's car and he followed but didn't open it.

"Unlock the door man." I said rolling my eyes.

"You forgive me?" I cut my eyes at him and he folded his arms.

"We gonna be together all day so I don't want it to be no tension." I sighed and nodded.

"I forgive you." He bit his lip and smiled and I had to refrain from jumping over the car and kissing him.

It was sad that after all these years he still had this affect on me yet even though honey was out of the picture I knew he wouldn't want me and I was fine with that.

We got in the car and he looked at me yet I just kept my eyes on the window and he pulled off.

"You liked Miami?" He asked starting conversation and I squinted before nodding.

"When I wasn't getting hit it was cool."I shrugged deciding to be totally honest.

"I'm sorry-"

"Don't be. What happened happened I deserved it because I was naive." We got to a red light and he stared at me and I returned the stare and he licked his lips causing me to shiver.

"You ain't deserve that." He shrugged pulling back off.

We got to the house the agent told us to come to and it was beautiful. Two story and a 2 car garage but I could already tell it would be too big for just me.

"Good morning you two." The man said eyeing me making me feel uncomfortable.

"Goodmorning." I said smiling and Masiah said nothing he just eyed the man making me roll my eyes. Nothing has changed about him.
