It has been a couple of weeks since Anthony and I broke up, i guess you can say. Anthony's has been sending me flowers or teddy bears almost every other day. He's sending so many mixed signals but he wants to be close friends for the sake of slim. I just can't be his friend right now, I'm not over these feeling I have for him yet especially when he keeps sending my flowers. He calls and text every night and morning just telling me to sleep well or have a good day but I've have been ignoring him, putting myself into painting. Slim and I are always together painting, she's been blowing Anthony off to have dinner with me every night. She has even told me that Anthony said he is jealous because he doesn't see her anymore because of me, that I'm taking him away from her. It's understandable we've been attached at the hip since the breakup. I drive her to school in the mornings, after work I come home and hang out, paint, eat dinner then ending up falling asleep between our two apartments. This has become our daily agenda, I promised her that nothing would change between us and it has but in a good way, we have gotten so much closer. Which is kind of weird for me I've never had a female friend its always just been Nyla? I actually set Slim up with the delivery boy from the dessert place around the corner, she's had a crush on him for a while and with us going every day they have grown a liking for each other, Anthony doesn't know yet. They are adorable together, he lives in this building also, Anthony would be furious if he knew, Slim said this is her first boyfriend but I've been watching over them and she's taking things slow. Contrary to my beliefs slims was a very self-respected girl despite her brother's choice of lifestyle. My only friend Marcus, from boot camp, has been deployed from the military for a few months. He has come to L.A to stay with us while he finds a new apartment out here and I couldn't be more excited.
Marcus became a brother I never had, He was always watching over me and coming to see me when I used to lock myself away in my dorm at boot camp. I didn't talk to him for the first year, eventually, I got bored and wanted to go to a bar so I spoke to him. After that he became my partner in crime and whenever we got caught he would take the blame thinking I didn't know about it. Marcus coming exactly I what I need right, After a week of causing trouble with Marcus I won't even remember Anthony. With Nala and Cameron attached at the hip, he's going to be staying in my room, I figured I'm at Slims most of the time anyway. I love my brother to the moon and back, he's like the other half of me, we might not be related but we are like the same person.
I'm waiting in the airport scanning the room to see my brothers face just when I hear a familiar voice from behind me as I go to turn around a large pair of hands covers my eyes. I almost instantly grab them, twist and spin around so that the person's arms are still in my hands and that he is facing me
"Glad you're still always on point Pooh" Marcus saying sarcastically with a huge smile.
"BEARRRR!!!" I scream jumping on him wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist with a huge smile plastered across my face. He drops his bags catching me as he hugs me tightly starting to spin me in circles.
