When we got back to the house,everyone was laid out in the front room.

"How was your run?" Craig asked,and I flopped on the couch,putting my legs in Diggy's lap.

"Horrible." I said,laying my head on a pillow.

"She didn't even last ten minutes." Pey laughed,sitting on Ray's lap. Shad was in the middle of the floor,playing with his toys.

"Well I'm going to go shower cause I hate sweat so bye." I said,walking off to my room. I took a quick shower,then Putin some more clothes I found in the dresser. I walked back down stairs.

"No matter what you say or what you do,

When I'm alone I'd rather be with you,

Fuck these other niggas,I'll be right by your side

Til 3005,

Hol up" I sung as I made myself a bowl of grapes.

"Hol up wait a minute all good just a week ago." I heard Chres say loudly before walking into the kitchen. I mentally rolled my eyes and quickly grabbed my bowl,preparing to walk out. He grabbed my waist,pulling me back into the kitchen.

"Whats with you? You been giving me the cold shoulder all morning." He said,looking me in the eyes.

I sighed,sitting up on the counter.

"I'm not very fond of surprises,you know." I said seriously,looking at me. He sighed,standing in front of me.

"Kenya,I'm sorry I didn't warn you. It's just that when you were gone,I was lonely,and then I met Zendaya. She started liking me,so I figured why not?" He grabbed one of my grapes,popping it into his mouth.

"Did you think about how that would make me feel?" I asked.

"Well,no,because you weren't here." He said honestly. I rolled my eyes and looked off to the side. He grabbed my face,making me look back at him.

"But I still love you,okay? Don't you forget that." He said.

I chuckled. "I actually feel sorry for you." I said.

He put on a confused face. "What? Why?"

"Ol' girl dumb as fuck!" I said,then laughed hard. He pretended to hit my arm.

"Not nice!" He said,chuckling a bit.

"But its true and you know it." I said. He looked at me.

"I missed you,Chres." I said. He hugged me,rocking from side to side a bit.

"I missed you too. But we can still spend time together,just not in a relationship. Bestfriends?" He asked,holding out his pinky.

"Well,no. Bestfriends will surely turn out to be something more than just bestfriends and you have a girlfriend now and even though I would like it to be more that would be wrong and I don't want any drama and-"

"Oh,just shut up and promise." He said,grabbing my pinky and looping it with his.

I sighed. "No funny business?"

"No funny business." He assured.

"Can we still have movie nights?" I asked.

"Zendaya tags along." He said. I sighed.

"Can I still paint your nails?" I asked,smirking. He gave me a blank look,then just turned and walked out of the kitchen.

"Wait! Chres!" I laughed,grabbing my bowl and hopping down from the counter. I heard him chuckle,and he ran up the stairs. I went to the living room,only to see Bonita and Diggy in there making out.
