Same day

"Why are you here?" I repeated staring up at him with pure hatred. "I wanted to come apologize." He said looking down at me, I stared at him trying to figure him out, but got nothing.

"Ok." She said tilting her head some and he chuckled softly. "I'm sorry for what I did, I apologize for putting you in a weird position like that. I apologize for not taking no as an answer and I apologize for ruining our friendship." He apologized rubbing his hands down his pants.

"Apology accepted." I said going to close the door on him, but he stopped it with his foot. "Really?" He asked surprised as I continued to push on the door, "I should've did more arm workouts." I thought as I gave up and just opened the door. "WHAT?!" I snapped stepping up to him some and he placed his hands up in surrender.

"Don't want no problem Ki." He stated smirking and I squinted at him. "I don't like you." I told him. "That's fine.." He said then played with his lips. "Can we talk soon?" He asked and I looked at him like he was drunk off his ass.

"Boy." I said attempting to shut the door, he stopped it again. "For real, you know I only considered you a friend." He said trying to guilt trip me and I rolled my eyes extra hard. "Should've thought of that before you tried to rape me!" I fussed pushing him one good time, then slammed and locked the door.

I peeped through the curtains as he stood on my lawn for a while, before kicking air then returned to his vehicle. "Bitch." I mumbled closing the blinds back, retaking my seat on the sofa.

"WHAAAAT?!" I whined throwing a fit as another knock was at the door. I peeped out the window then unlocked the door, smiling up at Alex. "Was that-?" I cut him off before he could even finish. "Tried so hard to get in." I informed closing the door behind me.

He took a seat on the sofa and I sat by him, picking up my bowl of grapes. "How he even knew where you stayed?" He asked looking at me and I scrunched my face up in confusion. "Good question." I added popping a grape in my mouth, then offered him some but he declined.

"I'ma talk with Ebony about that." He mumbled as he focused on his phone. "What you stop by for?" I asked after we sat in silence for a while. "To check up on you and to ask how Eric was doing, since we can't go see him right now." He explained and I nodded as I continued to eat the grapes.

"I'm hanging in there and he's doing good, he miss you guys." I assured and he glanced at me then back at his phone. "Getting enough sleep?" He asked the question everyone keeps asking, I rolled my eyes. "I'm working on it." I half lied and he smacked his lips looking at me.

"Sis, I love you, but you needa boss up or whatever y'all call it." He stressed and I sighed, growing tired of this same lecture. "You try losing someone that you basically tell everything to, do everything with, and always around. That shit is hard to deal with, when all that ceases." I complained and he didn't say nothing.

"That's why I try not to grow so close to people.. except you and a few others." He stated and I just looked at the tv. "You're close with Eric and Trell, so don't play hard." I challenge and he chuckled. "I never said I wasn't, you needa open your ears and close your mouth." He shot back and I smacked my lips.

"So rude." I mumbled getting up to wash out my bowl. "Who you think Eric got it from?!" He called from the living room and I tossed my bowl in the sink out of frustration. "Asshole." I muttered washing out my bowl as I heard my phone ringing.

"I got it!" He yelled just as I was about to go full Usain Bolt out this kitchen. I listened to him talk as I looked in the fridge to find something that'll fill me up until later tonight.
"Chicken Tenders." I whispered as I scanned the freezer.
