*New Orleans*

Michael POV:

I had to take this little trip to New Orleans. I wasn't gonna miss this! It has been years since I've been back here. But, oddly...it gives me tha urge to blow some shit up. Kinda tempted.

As I was laying in tha bed, my phone goes off. I grab it off tha bedside table and check it. Only to see it's a message from Bresha.

I'm kinda shocked because we really haven't spoke. I don't even recall tha last time we spoke. I respond to her message and set my phone down. This should be interesting...

*30 minutes later*

As I was watching tv, there was a knock on my door. I get up and look through tha peep hole and see her standing there. I open it and let Bresha in.

Me: "Hello stranger. Decided to come from invisible land?"

Bresha: "You're real funny. I forgot ta chuckle..." She says with sarcasm

Me: "I was just askin' considering we don't speak or see each other..."

Bresha: "I can't see an old friend?"

Me: "Oh, so now I'm an old friend? Since when?"

I sit on tha bed as she looks at me.

Bresha: "You're actin' real sarcastic..."

Me: "How else am I supposed to act, Jebresha? Hope you didn't think I was gonna act all friendly. All buddy buddy. You just dropped a nigga like a damn inflated basketball..."

Bresha: "Mike-"

Me: "Nah. Let me finish..."

She sighs and sits down.

Me: "You probably didn't give a fuck. But, I did. I lost my best friend, bro. You were long gone before that nigga of yours stepped into tha picture. But, at least we did mend shit. Put aside what we used to do...that doesn't matter. You just didn't care if you kept our friendship or not. That shit hurt. That was honestly most important to me, B."

Bresha: "You done?"

Me: "Yes..."

Bresha: "Good. First of all...you are tha reason why our friendship got all fucked up. Tha first time...and second time. You're right...we did mend it. But, you fucked it up. You don't think our friendship meant anything ta me. But, it did. Dats why I wanted it ta be mended! It was awkward because I was married and knowin' what we used ta do...coulda fucked dat up. And it almost did Mr. Wanna Lick It! I was fine wit bein' friends, Mike. You juss crossed lines dat shouldn't have been crossed. Especially since I was married..."

Me: "Was married?"

Bresha: "I'm juss sayin'-"

Me: "Happy marriage came to an end?"

I look at her left hand.

Me: "Well. Well. Well. I guess it did..." I said as I crossed my arms

Bresha: "Dat is besides tha point..."

Me: "I know. But, now I can say what I've been wanting to say without feelin' like I'm fuckin' shit up. I apologize for putting your marriage at risk. I shouldn't have did that. But...I couldn't help myself. I still had those feelings for you. Bein' around you...brings up those feelings. I can't help it or myself. But, come on now...we both know what was really good..."

She just looks at me.

Me: "Why didn't we just pursue it? We both wanted, too..."

Bresha: "Because you were wit Angela..."
