Chapter Twenty-Seven.

I LAID IN BED beside Kimberly as she laid her head on my chest. "Thank you for being here to listen to my venting," Kimberly made circular motions on my chest. "It means a lot."

I didn't know what it was about her, she was my best friend and I knew it couldn't be anything more than that because in the long run—-I knew that I would break her heart. But the bond that we had was something different—-something I didn't have with many people. "You know I'm always here for you baby girl, I'll have your back through anything just like you had mine. I promise I got you."

Kimberly smiled as a tear dropped from her eyes. "You don't know how much those words mean to me. There are days when I feel like just giving up, man. Like I can't do this shit anymore. But, you've really helped me out of that dark patch in my life and I really thank you for that."

I kissed her on the forehead. "Just like everyone told me—-everything does get better, believe me when I say that. I understand that pain, no matter what happens in your life things will get better so keep your head up and show everyone that you are still stronger then they thought you were."

Kimberly smiled. "Thank you, honestly. I never thought I'll see myself being this happy again. After losing my father, everything just went downhill that I would stay in my bed for days upon days, just disgusted with the person that I was becoming but now I can honestly say I'm happy with myself. I thank everyone for helping me see that."

All this time I didn't even know she was feeling like this, most of the time it's just me talking about shit that I failed to even ask her if everything was alright with her. "Just know I'll do anything for you, Kimberly. You've helped me get through so much shit bro like you just don't understand how much you mean to me and I promise to always be here for you."

She really had me in here sounding like a complete bitch, and I ain't no bitch. So she must mean a lot for me to be saying some shit like this. "I promise I'll always be here for you too, Gael. I'm glad that I was here to help you get through things."

I stared into her eyes, and she stared into mines. She brought her face up closer towards mines as she placed a kiss on my lips—-completely throwing me off.

I knew it wasn't a good idea for me to be kissing her right now, but it didn't stop me. I deepened the kiss pulling her closer towards my body. I rubbed my hands against her thighs as she smiled. Kimberly placed her hands on my sweatpants, slowing moving her hands into my pants.

I drew my attention back so I could focus on her face. "Kimberly."

Kimberly stared back. "Yes?"
