Arnell was in the bathroom braiding her hair. It was already Thursday and she still hadn't gave Damitri an answer. Her phone vibrated on the counter. She already knew it was most likely him. He was the only person who she texted like that besides Maggie.

Meech🙅🖕: u comin ?

Idk

Meech🙅🖕: fuck u mean u don't know? Issa simple question.

Arnell didn't reply. When She finished braiding her hair, she went to go find an outfit to wear. Her phone lit up indicating that she had a call.

"Hello?" She answered.

"You so childish."

"Excuse me?" She said trying not to laugh.

"Fuck you leavin' me on read for?" Damitri asked.

"Because Meech," She sighed. "I don't know if I wanna come and you gettin' mad at me."

"I ain't mad at you, but issa yes or no question." He explained. "Don't do that 'I don't know' shit."

"What you want me to come over for anyway?" She questioned while throwing a pair of joggers onto her bed.

"So I can talk to you." He simply replied.

Arnell scrunched up her face. She didn't understand why she needed to come over for that.

"Nigga, we talkin' right now."

"Watch ya mouth." He warned. "And I don't wanna talk to you on the phone. I wanna see you in person."

"For... What?" She knew she was asking a million questions, but he wasn't even giving her straight answers.

"I wanna talk about what happened between us." He stated. "And some other shit I don't wanna get into at the moment."

He was referring to the incident with Anthony. He needed to do something about it fast because his crew were ready to act on it.

"Ain't no us." Arnell scoffed.

She said that just to piss him off.

"What?" Damitri questioned.

"Oh, it's okay for you to say I'm not yo girl but when I say ain't no us, you get mad?"

"It's not even like that. You be getting jealous for no reason."

Arnell rolled her eyes. "Bye Meech."

"Do not hang up on me." He warned her. It made her jump a little.

"I let that shit slide last time but if you do that shit again Ima really hurt you." He added.

Arnell smacked her lips. But she didn't hang up.

"Like I said, I like you Nells." He sighed. "I like chilling with you, you cool ass hell. But I ain't ready to be tied down."
