I went on my way home and stopped by popeyes to buy something for me and Dave incase he hadn't eaten. Once I reached the house, the uber parked in front of the gate so I thanked him and used the key to open the door. As I entered, I heard Dave's voice.

"IT AIN'T EVEN LIKE THAT YO" Dave's voice boomed through the house.

I walked into the kitchen to see Dave arguing with someone on the phone, I put his food on the counter and waved him a hey before jogging upstairs. I noticed he didn't say anything back but I brushed it off since he was on the phone and did seem upset.

I changed into some sweats and a T-shirt then came back downstairs to Dave still on the phone pacing. I didn't want to eavesdrop or anything but I was hungry so I stood outside the kitchen for a few seconds before walking in.

I heard him sigh. "Listen baby, I really want us to work but you gotta chill man"

Baby? so him and Vanessa are still a thing or am I missing something?

"I got mad love for you so this little break we got going on is good for us. When you get back from Miami, we'll work this shit out aight?"

So yup him and Vanessa are still a thing. Wow I feel mad dumb but then again I guess we never did anything so there wasn't really a "we".

"Aight, Ima hit you up later Ness" He hung up after that.

I took this opportunity to walk in the kitchen and get my popeyes. Dave turns around and looks at me.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing you looked at me" I responded, sitting down on the island.

"I didn't" He said getting water from the fridge.

"So who was on the phone?" I ate my fries.

"I don't know why you think that's any of your business" He rolled his eyes.

"Wow so old Dave is back" I continued eating my food. "You're welcome for the food by the way"

"What do you mean by that?" He said completely ignoring the last part of what I said.

"Exactly how it sounds" I replied giving off the same tone he was giving me.

"Cool" He was about to walk out.

"You were supposed to pick me up" I told him stopping him from walking out.

"Obviously I forgot" He walked out, not even taking the popeyes I bought.

"David" I called out but he ignored me.

I've had enough of his shit. If he wants to act like a piece of shit then I'll treat him like one.

I finished up eating then put his popeyes in the fridge so I could eat later. Then I went to the living room to chill but he was there so I went upstairs and slept in my room.

The buzzing of my phone woke me up around 6pm, It was a call from Raina.

"Hello?" I sneered groggily.
