A month later

So it's the middle of January & I've eased up on Diggy a bit. We're closer now, we have sex a lot, and he's really showing me that him sleeping with Vera was a mistake. I know that Jetter wasn't the mistake, but how he was created was the mistake.

He's making me talk to Véronique. He'd set up lunch dates, but invite her and basically forces me into talking to her. I've tried to be nice as much as I can, but I just can't get over the fact that she used Daniel & let him impregnate her because she was mad at Gavin. She used him, then tried to play victim when I found out. I'm so over her & her bullshit, I'm focusing on me now & me and Daniel's relationship.....or friendship..

"We gotta see new people..." I spoke softly as Daniel kissed along my neck. He stopped & looked up at me.

"Why?"

"Because I don't wanna feel like I'm using you, like Vera did." I turned towards him.

"Ion mind being used......by you, but where is this comin from?" He asked. I sat up, pulling the sheets up onto my chest.

"I just don't want to jeopardize anything as I build the trust I once had with you." I told him. "I want to make sure that we're both ready to move further into this relationship." He sighed & got up, grabbing his boxers.

"Fine....it's whatever you want." He mumbled, walking towards the bathroom. "It's always what you want..." He slammed the door shut. I jumped, then sighed. It's the best thing for us right now.

Two weeks later

"How you holdin up?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah, you haven't been yourself lately..." Khalani added. I sighed.

"I told Daniel that we should see other people." I finally told them.

"I though everything was going great?" Khalani questioned.

"I just wanted to be sure that us getting back into a relationship was the right thing. I don't fully trust him like I used too...."

"You full of shit." Jacob spat. "You know you love him and yo ass gon get jealous if you see him with some other chick, so Ion know why you bullshittin...."

"Because I don't wanna put my full trust in him just so I can get my heart broken again."

"Well shit! If we playing matchmaker, I know a guy that'd be perfect for you." Khalani squealed. I looked at her crazy. "Don't look at me like that. His name is Odell and he is fine as hell." I rolled my eyes & continue to eat my fries.

"No.."

"Just think about it, pleaseeeeee?" She plead. I groaned to myself.

"Okay fine, whatever..." I sighed.

"Perfect!" She squealed, grabbed her phone & walked off.

"Anyway...." I looked over at Jacob. "How're you and Melissa?" He looked up from stuffing his face.

"Hmm?" He mumbled. I just laughed. "Oh uh, we cool." He swallowed his food. "She been at her parents crib all week."

"Why?"

"You know that miniature highlighter is a goddamn daddy's baby." He scuffed. "And that nigga don't like me for shit."

"Then quit talking shit in a language they don't know." I giggled. He rolled his eyes & continued to eat as Khalani came back.

"He said he's free tonight, then he has to head out to Miami." She squealed with the hugest smile on her face. "Armondo's Italian Restaurant at 7. Please wear something nice." She told me. "Preferably sexy....with your slim thick ass."

"Whatever." I laughed. "Y'all ready to go or what?" We go up, paid the tab & left.
