My last class of the week finally let out and I was more than happy for it. The closer to my degree I get the more impatient I become. I'm so close to finally getting myself on track I can just taste it. I got a text from my aunt saying she was going to keep Cadie overnight so I didn't have to go and get her. I work tomorrow so going out with the boys is out of the question. Mo came into my mind so I thought about swinging by to see her.

Me: Best friend? 👀

8:09 pm

I got in my car and headed to her place. It's only been about two days since we last talked but she's forever going crazy on a nigga so sometimes I gotta play crazy with her ass. As I pulled into her neighborhood I noticed the house next to hers finally got sold. I'm gonna miss the old folks that used to live there. They were the coolest people I've ever met.

I didn't bother knocking since I've got a key and let myself in. Mo stood in the kitchen and glared at me. "That key is for emergencies only," she said.

"This was an emergency. You obviously bumped yo head if you think you ain't my best friend no more. I'll beat the fuck out you Mo." I smirked at her as she rolled her eyes. "Come give daddy a hug."

"Nigga you ain't my damn daddy," she side-eyed me. But I bet you she gave me a hug. "You not mad at me no more?"

"I wasn't mad at you," I lied. She gave me a look. "Iight I was mad. But I ain't no more. I was just being childish."

"You were," she poked my forehead before going back to the stove. "Where's Cadie?"

"With her nana. Ma wants her to spend the night." She nodded and continued cooking. I sat at the breakfast bar and watched TV. But her phone kept going off which was distracting and making me annoyed. "Yo ya phone keep going off and it's distracting."

"Well that sounds like a personal problem."

"Who keeps texting you this late anyway?" I reached for it but she snatched it up fast.

"Mind your business. And it's not even that late first of all."

"Yeah it is." She ignored me and responded to the texts before going back to what she was doing. This time she put it on vibrate but I was more than a little curious about what she was hiding. I got up and sneaked up behind her before snatching the phone off the counter. "Zy! Stop being so childish!"

"You ain't never had no problem with me looking in your phone before." Since she's so short I held the phone up high and unlocked it. I saw she was in the middle of a conversation with some nigga named Jayden and another nigga named Jamel. I don't know any Jayden's but Jamel seems familiar. "Yo Mo who the fuck is Jamel?"

She sucked her teeth. "Nobody man give me my phone."

"Nah who this nigga? It bet not be Jamel Smalls." When she didn't say nothing I got mad. "I know you ain't talking to the same nigga that used to make fun of you in school."

"And if I am?"

"This nigga ain't no good Mo. And you know that."

"Zy he used to pick on me when we were in high school and it wasn't nothing serious. He was a clown. Ain't like he did me how everyone else did me."

"That's yo punk ass brother's best friend. Ya brother a pussy and Jamel a damn snake. Why the hell would you even wanna be around his ass? He may not have bullied you but his ass sure as hell didn't protect you. When Isaiah and Taylor been doing you all types of way his ass ain't lift not a damn finger to help."

"That was then. What you getting so mad for?"

"Because you being dumb as fuck."

"You can get the fuck out my house then Zy," she said looking upset.

"Whatever man," I handed her back her phone and left. I knew I was mostly irritated because not only is there one but two people talking to her. I'm jealous. Jealous and mad as hell. I pulled up to my place and went inside. My cousin was sitting on the couch watching TV. "Man the fuck you doing here?"

He raised his brow to me. "The fuck wrong with you nigga?" I brushed passed him into my room. He followed behind me. "Nigga what you mad for now? Always bitching about something ole mad ass."

"Man leave me alone."

"Imma tell Mo you being mean to me."

"I don't give a fuck!" I snapped.

"Whoa," he said holding his arms up. "So it is Mo? Thought so since ya mad ass been mad at work. I thought your bipolar was acting up. So what happened?"

I sighed. "Man everything is fuckin' up."

"How?" I told him everything that's been happening. "You about dumb as fuck. You don't want her to know how you feel but every time it's got something to do with her and another nigga you go ape shit."

"That's not even it man."

"Then what is it? Zy, anyone with eyes can see you love that girl. More than you want to admit most of the time. We've been telling your ass for years to man up and tell Mo your feelings before it's too late."

"I don't know."

"Well then you're going to be one mad person because it sounds like Mo got the juice. She's got two dudes who sees how great she is and they're not scared to move in on her. Either man up and tell her the truth or sit here and watch the person you love get taken away."

I know what he's saying is the truth but I don't know if I'll be able to do it. That'll be a big step for me, for us to make in our relationship. I don't want us to ruin what we already have but I can't stand the sight of Mo with another dude. That shit makes me lose my shit.
