Chris' POV

As I walked in the house, the laughing got louder. You ever start laughing because of other people's laughs? Well that's how I am right now.

"Y'all what's so funny?" I asked as Jay started calming down.

"We were watching Wild n Out... but, wassup? I definitely didn't expect for you to drop by." She said as she cleared her throat and her eyes met mine.

"Can we go out back?" I asked as she shook her head yes.

As I walked through the living room, Moniece shot a reassuring smile at me, and Keith stuck his thumbs up at me. I shook my head and I laughed. A long talk between us is long over due.

"Wassup? Why are you here?" I heard her soft voice ask as she slid the back door open.

I walked out, sat down in her hammock, and I waved for her to come over.

"I thought you hated me..." She said closing the door back as I chuckled.

"Sometimes I don't like you... but that doesn't mean that I hate you. You know how I still feel and I will always feel about you." I said as she took a deep breath and she sat next to me.

"So, once again... what's the real reason you dropped by?" She asked as I looked up at the night sky.

"We haven't had one of these talks in a long time. I also wanted to see how you were doing." I said as she rolled her eyes and she looked up at the sky.

"Chris... a couple of weeks ago, I asked you not to leave me again. I asked you not to walk away from me. Not only did you leave, but you ignored me and you avoided me for weeks. Then, when I accepted that we were done associating with each other, I just tried to move on with my life. I got with Dave and I thought everything would get better. I was right. Life was great and I was happy. Then, today, everything was going great, until Ashton, and until some heartbreaking news was being exploited in front of the whole staff." She said as I looked down and I played with my fingers.

"You could've came to me personally with this information Chris... not broadcast it like the Channel 7 news. Yes, I'm glad that I know the truth now, but that was embarrassing. Then, you blamed me for the loss of the baby... if it was even yours. You knew that Zoey was after me the minute I got here. Then, last minute after the miscarriage, you thank me for making her lose the baby when she always initiates the fights. You say I didn't support you? I did my best to keep my mouth shut with her. I never even kicked her out of my house when she deserved it Chris... only because you asked me not to."

She said as I looked at her with remorseful eyes. She was just letting everything out.

"It's like you turned a lot of people against me after what happened to Zoey. Nurses and assistants are giving me a hard time during surgeries because of what they think I did. You know it wasn't my fault. She brought that upon herself."

Jay said as I looked down at her small hands. I want to hold them so bad, but she probably won't let me. I really put her through a lot. I wasn't thinking about her point of view. I was being selfish.

"You left me when I needed you the most. I also hate the fact that you think I don't love you. You knew I did and you know I always will. Yes, I told Dave that I love him because it's true. While you were with Zoey, we spent a lot of time together Chris. I'm being honest with you. With me thinking about you having a child, I just decided to do me and focus on my happiness. I grew feelings for him just like how I did with you. Unfortunately, you can't stop the feelings you have for somebody. I had to tell Dave that same thing because I was still preoccupied with you."

She said as I flashed a smile at the ending sentence.

"Jay... I talked to Ashton earlier... and I told him about how much I screw up in life... including with you. I know I've done you dirty in the past. I'm gonna be apologizing forever. I can't take back time, but I can try and make the best of what the future holds." I said as I grabbed her hand in mine, and she rested her head on my shoulder as a smile peered on my lips.

"I know that you love Dave... but you also love me too." I said leaning down to kiss her forehead. When I did it, a half smile appeared on her face.

"I shouldn't have walked away from you, but I was pissed off. I was trying to figure out a way to tell you about Dave, but you had so much on your mind. You were in surgery and you were emotional about his crash. I just couldn't tell you." I said as she let out a sigh.

"Jay... you may not call me this, but you're my best friend." I said as she sat up and she looked at me.

"Okay... because at this point, I have way too many best friends." She said as we both laughed in unison.

"Yeah yeah, but I'm the bestest." I said as I started tickling her and she started giggling like a little girl.

Moniece's POV

"Awnnnnn look at them..." I said as Keith and I were spying on them through the side window.

"She laughing too hard... she gone pee on herself. Now, I know where to tickle her." Keith said as I pushed him playfully.

"Chris got his girl back." I said as Keith furrowed his eyebrows at me.

"Whoa whoa... they ain't together..." He said as I shook my head no.

"When I say he got his girl back... I mean his best friend... his pal... the girl he cares about and loves the most. The one who he connects with the best. His girl...." I said as a smile peered on my lips.

Dave is my bro too, but I ain't know about him and Zoey. I'm definitely pissed at him right now.

"Ok cause whose side are we on? When she was with Dave, we were routing for them. Now, that she's under Chris right now, we're routing for him." Keith said crossing his arms across his chest.

"Well... for now, I guess who ever makes her happy at the moment." I said as we both joked.

"Oh snap, I think they finna kiss." Keith said as we glued our eyes in.

Jay's POV

Chris picked my chin up with his index finger and his thumb as our eyes met.

"How would you feel if I were to kiss you right now?" He asked as he bit his bottom lip.

Do you think it's a lot going on? I just ended it with Dave. I'm pregnant... not really knowing who the father is... me and Chris just got back cool. I still have feelings for Chris, and even though I'm pissed off, I got feelings for Dave.

I am single though, and I haven't felt his lips against mine in a minute.

"I honestly don't know..." I said giving off a half smile.

But, I also don't wanna play with Chris. I just got out of a relationship and don't know who I'm gonna end up with honestly. Both of these men are so gorgeous and they have a lot to offer. Like I said though, I don't like playing games with people. But, I like the way he's making me feel at this moment.

Chris kissed my cheek and he wrapped me up in his arms.

"I know you got a lot going on right now, so I won't pressure you into anything. I love you and I'll always be here." Chris' husky voice said as I hugged him back.

"I love you too Chris... and thank you for everything." I said as he rocked me back and forth.

I could use this time to focus on myself and figure out what's best for me. My baby is gonna deserve nothing, but the best. I have to prepare. But, I have to also figure out when to tell Chris and Dave I'm pregnant. I don't know how I'm gonna go it, but I don't have a good feeling about this.
