Justine's POV
I couldn't believe that I exploded like that at August. But I'd been holding that in for a long time now. He doesn't know how it feels to walk into the place of somebody you really care about and see someone else standing there not knowing if they're there to replace you or not. I guess now it doesn't matter. August was right though. We were only supposed to be fuck buddies with no feelings attached. But it's not like I grew feelings for him on purpose. He started taking me places with him and buying me things. I thought he started to feel something for me. Especially when he gave me a key. I just knew we were gonna make it official soon after. Instead this shit happens. I hope that bitch rejects him or breaks his heart. Selfish asshole.
Kylani's POV
Tiffany had rested up after she got off work considering she was the one who was driving me back home. I sat in the living room watching tv until she got up and was ready to go. "You ready to go," she asked me. "Yeah. I'm all packed and ready whenever you are." "Let's go." We headed out the door and I put my suitcase in the back seat. "Road trip to Little Rock!," she said sounding excited that we were going to be driving for hours. I think it's the one on one time we get with each other. I laughed and shook my head as I put on my seatbelt while she drove down her driveway. She plugged the auxiliary cord in her car into her phone and played "No More" by 3lw. I side eyed her but laughed shortly after. I couldn't do nothing but laugh knowing my girl was tryna cheer me up from the update I gave her shorty after we got to her crib. We sang along to the song having more fun than I thought we would have. I thought we would be sitting in silence for the first couple of hours. We were jamming. When it got to the rap, we were getting it. I couldn't help but laugh. I'm glad that I have this chick as a best friend. She knew what to do when I was down and out. "Ugh! You need to move to Atlanta. We're too far away and we have too much fun when we're together."
"I'm only a few hours away."
"What's wrong with Atlanta?"
"Nothing. I just like where I'm at."
"But I be missing you."
"I be missing you too. And even if I was to move to Atlanta with you, I have most of my clients in Little Rock. I can't just up and leave them."
"We can travel for your clients. Just try it out and see. PPLEEEAAASSSEE!!!"
"OOOOKKKAAYY!!! You know I hate when you beg." I laughed.
Hours later...
We finally arrived to Little Rock and in all honesty, I was not ready for my best friend to leave me again. Maybe me moving to Atlanta won't be so bad. I can become roommates with my best friend, expand, and come back to Little Rock whenever I wanted to. It's a win-win-win situation. I didn't have any clients this week so I decided to go ahead and take the risk to up and leave Little Rock that day and head back to Atlanta with my girl. I packed up all of my things and let my landlord know what was going on. Before we got back on the road, we hit up the mall just to walk around and spend time with each other. Of course if anything caught our eye we were going to do some shopping. What girl would pass up some shopping if she had the money? I don't know any. "So have you talked to August since the incident?"
"Yeah he called trying to explain what was going on, and I thought I wanted to hear it but the more he talked the more I was feeling like 'are you done now?'"
"Dang," she said laughing, "you gave him the cold shoulder?"
"I didn't give him the cold shoulder. I let him talk. He tried to explain himself and I thought that's what I wanted since we did kiss, but the more he talked the more I started not to care and became less interested so I just told him he didn't owe me an explanation."
"Girl please. I would've grilled the shit out of that ass." I laughed. "He better be glad I didn't find out til after the fact you ran out that door like somebody was following you in an alley. He still on my bad side."
"I just want to put that night and day behind me and move on."
"Well it's kind of hard for me to avoid him considering we have mutual friends and we are all really close."
"What that got to do with me?"
"They're going to soon become your friends and you're going to constantly hear about August."
"I can deal with hearing about him for a few hours of the day."
"Yeah okay." She laughed.
A little while after, we were back on the road and back to Atlanta. Of course I was wondering if I was doing the right thing, but I missed my best friend and I could always go back to Little Rock if needed.
A few weeks later...
August's POV
I decided to hit the club up with my bro, Travis, and a few friends. When we walked in "I Don't Mind" by Usher filled the room. We sat down and took sips of our drinks while looking around the room at all the ladies on the floor. One girl in particular caught my eye so I made my way to her while watching her every move. She saw that I was watching and smiled while telling me to come here with her finger. I smiled and kept walking towards her. Ace Hood's "Body To Body" started playing. She started whining and grinding her hips putting on a show for me having my full attention. I danced with her to a few more songs then made my way back to my VIP area. My niggas was sitting down tryna play cool. I already knew Travis had made his way to the floor. Anywhere there's music, he dancing. I sat down after re-filling my cup with some peach ciroc and pineapple juice. Nicki Minaj's "Only" came on and everybody was vibing, rapping and singing along to the song.
A while after, we started heading out the club laughing and talking about shit that done happened while making our way to the car. Once we got there, I opened the door and was about to get in until I saw something that made me think my eyes were playing tricks on me. "You aight," Travis asked. "Yeah, I'm good," I said with this confused look on my face, not breaking my stare. "Then get yo ass in the car and let's go. A nigga tired ass fuck." We got in the car and I drove back to my crib after dropping them off. I played "Stick Up Kid" by Lyfe Jennings then took off my clothes and hopped in the shower. I just stood there with my head down, letting the water run down my body to wash off the long day I've had.
After I got out the shower, I couldn't help but think about me possibly seeing Kylani when I left the club. I know it's been a while since we've heard from each other but I would've figured she would've hit me up if she came back. Just then Mario's "Braid My Hair" started playing and I couldn't help but want to hit her up. I just hope her number's the same.
