(Another update?! 🤔🤪 Of course! But I hope this book is getting good. I slacked off on some stuff and maybe changed a few details or something because I went back and realized a few mistakes in previous chapters. But Yeahh Enjoy! Remember vote and comment! 💖)

Pacing back and forth in my room I was way too shook at all the information I had found out earlier today. And Luckily Alexis had texted me 15 mins ago saying we could talk but she'd get back to me on when we'd talk.

I'm so glad I know the truth about him now. I knew my gut was right about that guy and I needed to do what was right and tell Alexis. Knowing that she even went on a date with that guy tonight makes me upset. Yet I know for a fact if I did anything like interfere and try and interrupt it she'd have a fit about it and I just wasn't in the mood for that. I was just going to strictly get to the bottom of this and explain to her and really let my feelings out. She's my best friend and I just don't want to see her get hurt. That's not bad is it? No it's not..I care for her and she's really the only person that's accepted me and I appreciate her for that. She's done so many nice things for me and I can't lose her.

I finally parked in front of her house and waited for her to come outside. I promised her i wouldn't drive us anywhere we'd just talk that's it. And since it was late I didn't wanna hold her up and keep her out any later but we both needed to talk because there was so much negative energy right now between us.

A light caught my eye, and I looked into the direction of her house and had seen she opened the front door and was heading out to my car.

She was in her pj's I assume; sweatpants, a hoodie and some slides with socks on, her hair was thrown into a ponytail but with all that going on she still looked good. She could never look bad.

She walked up to my car and opened the door and got into the passenger seat. She played with her hands in her lap looking down at her hands and the car was just filled with awkward silence. Neither of us knew what to say or do at this time and I just didn't want to come right out and say what I had to say.

"So what did you have to say?" She asked as she turned her head to look up at me. I guess she decided to give me the floor first.

Sighing heavily and resting my left hand on the steering wheel while turning a little bit to face her I began to speak..

"I'm really sorry Lex..I mean I'm not. Fuck..I'm sorry okay? The kiss the whole arguing just everything. I'm sorry. And honestly there's no way I could put this but when I kissed you it was just one of those things. I hate to say it was because I'm a guy and that my hormones got the best of me but that's mostly what it was and I'm truly sorry for that okay? I am." My Head was telling me what I said was good but my heart was saying I should just tell her everything but it's not the right time yet.

She looked at me and nodded to herself a little bit and sighed.

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have gotten so upset easily and I get that you're my best friend and only want what's best for me and make sure I'm not making any bad choices." She finished. But I was just glad she forgave me at all. That really lifted a ton a weight off of my shoulders honestly.

"Of course I want nothing but the best for you. Id do anything for you to make sure you're happy. You're a cool chick and any guy would be lucky to have you baby girl." Except that nigga she's with now. He can go and never come back.
