Freshly out of college, Xayvion and Bryce are finding their way in life. Figuring out how to survive without their parent(s) help, both so focused on doing their best they forgot about their social life and love life. So when their best friends drag...
I looked at my mom while she looked at this picture Danny and Liv was showing her. Which just so happens to be a picture of me and Bryce from the movies last Monday when I was hugging her after I brought the tickets.
"So she is your girlfriend?" My mom asked handing Liv her phone back.
"We are just friends. Nothing more momma." I said assuring her even though I'm sure she thinks I'm lying to keep her from wanting to meet Bry.
"How close of friends?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Very close!" Zakari yelled from the kitchen. "They be cuddling and everything momma." He added.
I'm not a violent person but I'm going to kill all three of these niggas.
"No we not. We barely even get along half the time we around each other."
"Let me quess, she always have an attitude and is always rolling her eyes." My momma said with a smirk.
"Why you smirking?" I asked with frowned brows.
"I like her already." She said with a big smile. "Oh and y'all can get out my house, I have my book club coming over."
"You kicking us out?" I asked looking at her.
"That is what I said." She said standing up.
"Well bye momma." Zakari said walking to the door.
"Bring your ass back here. You not off punishment until that DNA test come back and if it's your baby then you will be seeing your dad early on in life."
He put his head down and walked back into the kitchen.
"Congradulations on becoming a grandmomma." I said before running out the house.
"She said you gone lose your life if you keep playing with her." Liv said as they got in the car.
"Why y'all got it in my momma head that me and Bry together? Y'all know we beefing." I said driving to Liv and Bry apartment so that I could drop them off.
"Why y'all acting like y'all hate each other? Everybody can see that y'all like each other expect for y'all." Liv said causing me to shake my head.
"Nah."
Don't get me wrong Bryce is very attractive but there will not be an us for the simple fact she is very disrespectful and her attitude is terrible.
"So you not gone come in and chill with Bryce?" Liv asked as they got out my car.
"Didn't I just say we beefin'."
"Over what?" Danny asked.
"Business..get you some." I said putting my car in R.
They shook their heads and closed my doors. I drove to Danny and I's apartment. Once I arrived home I went straight to my room and took off all my clothes and threw on some b-ball shorts.

I got in bed and got comfortable then started listening to music while I read my book. J. Cole has been a real heavy hitter for me since his latest album came out which made me realized I slept on him for years.
The song January 28th had cut off and then came back on letting me know I had a text message.
Lil Attitude 😡: So we beefing?
Annoying 😒: You don't remember telling me that we was not on speaking terms?
Lil Attitude 😡: Yes I remember Xayvion but you know I was just playing. How you gone just leave me here with Daniel and Olivia?
Annoying 😒: Want me to come over? If so that's all you had to say Bryce.
Lil Attitude 😡: I want you to come open this door.
Annoying 😒: Why you didn't just knock like a normal person?
I got out the bed and opened the front door only to find my little attitude standing at the door with her arms crossed.
"About time." She said pushing pass me.
I looked at her like she was crazy and then shut the door.
"Either lose the attitude or leave lil Ms. Bryce." I said as she just stood there and looked at me.
"Why are you so mean to me Simba." She said calling me by my middle name with a smirk.
"How you know my middle name?" I asked walking towards her.
She started backing up until her back hit the wall.
"I'm waiting." I said looking down at her.
"I um...well Zakari was on the phone with your mom and she said it and I asked Zakari who was Simba and he said it's your middle name." She looking up at me.
"Don't call me Simba. I hate being called Simba."
"Why?"
"Because everybody always got some damn Lion King jokes when they hear my middle name."
"I never seen the Lion King, so I don't have any jokes."
"Everybody has seen the Lion King."
"I haven't."
I looked at her for a moment waiting for her to at least say it was some kind of joke but she didn't.
"My middle name is Jalene which is weird as well because instead of my two Ethiopian parents giving me a Ethiopian first name they put it as my middle name to piss my grandparents off."
"Your Ethiopian?" I asked looked at her.
"Yeah, my father's mother married an American when she was carrying my father and when she went in labor she gave him her husband's last name."
"Oh."
"Simba is not a bad name. I like it."
"It's not bad because you never seen the Lion King."
"Which way to your room?" She asked changing the subject.
I grabbed her hand and walked her to my room.
"Is black your favorite color?" She asked sitting on my bed.
"Yes but I also like gold." I said sitting next to her.
"Mines are blue and black. They are so beautiful together but how come you don't have any gold in your room?"
"My mom decorated the place and every which way she tried to incorporate gold it just look feminine." I said laying back.
"Oh." She said laying back beside me.
She laid her head on my chest and then grabbed my book that was sitting on my pillow and started reading it.
I just looked at her and grabbed my other book off my nightstand.
