Quan POV
Right about now, a nigga sitting on his front steps thinking. Why? I'm not going to lie, a young nigga is missing Londyn but I'm not about to fuck with her if she fucking with other dudes. The rate for HIV/AIDS is too damn high. If I get back with her, she's getting tested whether she likes it or not.

"Quan."
"Yeah."

I turned around and gave Ki my undivided attention.

"You good?"
"Yeah."
"Liar. But I need twenty."
"For what?"
"Uhm I want to get my toes done."
"Why you only getting your toes done? Wassup Ki."
"Alright so Londyn needs twenty."
"For what? And why she asking you to ask me for money?"
"Ion know. But, I do know that she's my bestfriend and she's your girlfriend."
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"Sure she isn't. So you gonna give me the money or no?"
"No. Tell her to get it from her other nigga."

I stood and began walking away because Londyn just did some he shit forreal. Don't ask me for money when you're sleeping around on me. Especially when I was financially taking care of you before-hand. As I questioned my reaction, my phone began vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw Londyn's caller ID. I ignored the phone call and slipped my phone back into my pocket. A few moments later, I spotted Londyn walking down the street. I crossed the street and she jogged over to me pushing me.

"I know you saw me calling you."
"And?"
"And, my ass. You answer when I call."
"Bruh get on somewhere with that shit. You're not my girlfriend bro."
"Oh so you fucking somebody new now?"
"Why you worried about whether or not I'm sleeping with someone new? You out fucking the crew."
"Oh that's how you feel now Quan?"
"Yeah."

I pushed Londyn to the side and continue walking down the street where I ran into Gabby.

"Hey baby."
"Wassup ma'."

I kissed Gabby and she smiled.

"Why you smiling?"
"Because I can. Is it a crime for me a smile?"
"Yeah."
"How?"
"Cause your smile blind niggas."
"Yeah right but everything okay?"
"Yeah."
"Now why you lying? Quan did you forget we was close once before?"
"Listen ma' ion want you dealing with my problems."
"Yeah I know but that's not the point right now. I told you that I was going to ride for you and that's what I'm going to do."
"I know ma' but this ain't your fight aight."
"Fine Quan."

I wrapped my arm around Gabby shoulders as we walked down the block in the direction of the park. Damn. Honestly ion even want to be at the park with her. I wanna be at her house blowing her back out but I ain't that kind of nigga you feel.
