Different Kind Of Love

Chapter 3.

Zayvia in the MM.

Lacy's POV

To say I was taken aback is an understatement. Chile I was shooketh. Here was my so called best friend, balling his eyes out on my couch. Even Owen had to just double take. "I'm sorry to just drop myself on you. I know you must hate me by now," Nash said wiping his tears away.

"Hate is a pretty strong word," I said sitting next to him. "Angry and confused is more like it. Where were you all this time Nash?" I asked while he just gazed out the window. Nash had one problem I couldn't stand. He carried too much weight on his shoulders and never opened up.

I carefully studied his new demeanor and noticed the differences. He skin was more fair. He had gained a lil just a lil weight. I'm sure Boa would be gushing. Now he has a few tattoos that I failed to understand. I don't mean I don't like them but i know Nash. Every decision and move is strategic. And deep down I can tell he's hiding something.

"I know. I'm sorry isn't going to cut it for you I know. I didn't mean to just take off like that I know it was wrong but given the circumstances--"

"It's what led you to do what you did that I wanna know. Maybe as your best friend I can understand where you're coming from. So Nash please tell me. What happened between you and Adrian."

There was a brief moment of silence in the room. Owen was smart enough to keep his mouth shut during the entire time. Nash stood up and made slow steps towards the window. In my head I thought I lost the argument. Maybe he was gonna clam up like he always does.

"It was an ordinary morning I woke up where I thought I wanted to be, in Adrian's arms. I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen like really sharp. So I made my appointment. The doctor himself told me I had the clap," he said sitting on the window pane. "That's not even the half of it. Two weeks into the marriage he had already started spiraling out of control. He came home drunk, which had become the new trend. I tried to simply talk to him tried to be there for him but I ended up face first on the glass table."

"You don't mean..."

"Yup. Adrian became abusive. He just changed. You see these tattoos?" Nash said revealing all of his tattoos from under his shirt. I nodded, truly shocked by the whole thing. "I didn't get these because I thought tattoos compliment my body. No I got them because I wanted to cover up the scars he left on my body. The permanent evidence that I was a victim to his own internal turmoil."

I sat there covering my mouth and thinking. The anger I might have found its way out of my system. He truly had a reason. I would have liked to know yes but I can't be selfish in thinking that it's easy to open up about something like that.

"Now that Boa's in the picture it just complicates things."

"What do you mean complicate things? You love Boa, Boa loves you. Nothing complicated about that. You act like you don't know this. You don't know him. When you were gone he was a mess Nash. A whole mess."

"Not that much of a mess cause he still found himself a new boo thang didn't he? And she real pretty. I don't wanna mess that up."

Both Owen and I gave each other that look. You know that look that you share with your man. The look to end all looks. That look that tells him I don't like that bitch but OK.

"Can I just say something?" Owen said chiming in, finally. We both looked at him as he sat up straight and face Nash. "You can't choose who Boa should love. And right now the only fact that remains is, he loves you. What happened with Adrian happened. But that shouldn't deter you from having something with Boa. That's all I'm saying."

"I'm with him," I said tilting my head at Nash who still looked conflicted. Knowing my best friend I knew I hit deep enough. It's up to him to debate it in his head now. "So tell me about the pictures. I'm pretty sure you know about the exhibit."

"That's a whole different story on its own. I slept with him once and the man's already in love."

"Ayye!!" I joked as I did a little twerk on the couch. "Ass must be fire," Owen said not really paying it no mind. "Anyway. So what happened with him?"

"He was supposed to be the man I used to get over Adrian and Boa. But then he went and caught feelings. So I bailed. He's good company no doubt. Lord knows he has fire stroke game but he's just..."

"Not Boa," I finished as he went silent. The look on his face broke my heart. He really believed what he told himself. He didn't see what I saw. A gentle, kind, beautiful not forgetting strong person. I decided it was enough. "On to the next topic," I said sitting beside him. "How in the hell did you get a phatty?" I asked making him laugh. His smile, his laugh, Lord knows I missed it.

Boa's POV

I walked into my dark apartment. Not really in the mood I just slid down with my back against the door. I kissed him. His lips tasted foreign but it was welcomed. I felt his body against mine. The way my heart melted when he kissed back. He still loves me, I told myself. I hope he does.

My thoughts were interrupted by a light switching on. "Where were you?" I heard her voice. Her voice was ruining this moment. The memory started fading. "I'm not in the mood for this Zay," I said looking up at her.

"I'm sick of this Boa! You know my father came to exhibit. There I was expecting the man I'm dating to introduce himself but where were you? With that Lacy bitch all night."

"Watch how you speak about my friend," I said standing up. "What is it with you lately? Who was the guy in the photos? I could read your face Boa. I don't know how dumb you think I am but I could tell you were more than just schoolmates," Zayvia answered getting a bit too loud for me. I walked past her like it was nothing.

"Boa Miller don't you dare walk away from me! Boa!"

"What!" I finally had it. In this moment I was tired honestly. "Do you even love me?"

"No!" I yelled before it all went silent. The tension just got so thick. "So you still love him huh?" her voice got so soft, you could hear the pain behind it. Even if I was being an asshole I had to tone it down. "Yes. I'm sorry that this isn't working as we had hoped it would but Zayvia we have to be honest with each other. I'm not the one for you."

Zayvia took a deep breath and looked me in the eye. She had a look I'd never seen before. "You're gonna regret this Boa Miller. Mark my words," she said pushing past me. I sighed because I thought the extravagance was a little unnecessary. "I'll be back to fetch the rest of my things tomorrow."

And with that, I finally had peace and quiet in my house. I sat down on the couch and pulled my phone out. Opening my private vault I went through all the pictures me and him took when we were still together and thought to myself.

How the hell am I getting you back?

And that was chapter 3 y'all !!!

Are you rooting for Nash and Boa to reunite or should they stay apart?

How would you feel if someone took photos of you and made them public Marciel vibes?
