Last Chance (Completed)

21. Aria

"Girl he was so mad, acting as if my mom lives hours away. Like she isn't even an hour away. I knew that was a bad idea." I said as I put some groceries up.

Mink rolled her eyes as she started to help me to take groceries out the bags. "Aria, you are single. It wasn't a bad idea. He was just mad cause another nigga was on you. He still wants you so he acts like a fucking child."

I knew she was right. "I'm just not trying to deal with no bullshit." I stopped putting groceries away to look at her. "Like I do have to parent with him for another seventeen years Mink."

She brought her eyebrows in as she paused on taking groceries out. "You're making this a bigger deal than it is. It's not that deep. He'll get over it." She paused for a second as she watched me, I quickly averted my gaze and went back to putting up groceries. "You still like Landon?" She questioned as she crossed her arms.

I rolled my eyes as I put some milk up, "stop it."

Mink squinted her eyes, "Aria, I know you do not still have the hots for him."

"I don't." I quickly answered as I grabbed another item to put up "Then look at me and say it with a straight face."

I looked at her as a small smile played on my face, "I don't Mink. And the only reason I'm smiling is because you told me not to! I'm no good when people say that."

"Aria! I'm being forreal." She let out. I coached myself to keep a straight face, "I am too, I don't have the hots for him. But are my feelings for him all the way gone? No they aren't. Are you happy now?" I questioned.

"Wow." She let out as she went back to taking groceries out. "Are you judging me?" I asked. Mink quickly shook her head no, "not at all, but don't play with Quay if you're thinking about going back down that road with Landon again."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." I paused once again to look at her. "I never said I wanted to get back with Landon or that I was thinking about it. I just said I wasn't completely over him yet. And that's a big ass difference."

"So you don't think you'll get back with Landon?" She questioned. "Absolutely not." I easily responded. Had the thought crossed my mind a time or two? Maybe, but at this point in time with everything that went down it was a hard no.

A knock came through on my door before she could respond. I wasn't expecting company so I was clueless to who it could be. I looked at her with confusion as she returned the same look.

I opened the door coming face to face with Quay, it was definitely a surprise. "Oh hey!" I smiled.

He sensed the surprise in my voice. He chuckled putting his phone up. "I texted you and told you I was over here so I was going to stop by."

"Oh!" I turned around looking for my phone, realizing that I must've left in my car. "I think it's in my car, but's it cool. Come in," I stated as I walked in and he followed as he closed my door.

He looked over seeing Mink as he smiled, "what's up girl?"  She smiled, "hey Quay!" She took the groceries out the last bag before stating she would be heading out. " I'll give you two some alone time." She smiled as she grabbed her purse and keys.

Quay quickly shook his head, "you were here first you don't have to do all that, I was just dropping by checking on shawty."

I smiled as I finished putting up the groceries. "Well I appreciate it. All is well over here." I responded. My mind went back to my phone knowing I needed to go get my phone out the car. Landon had Ava and I knew he would be coming at any point since I let him know when I left the store. "I'm going to go get my phone real quick," I stated as I looked between the both of them.
