5:46 PM

Nia had fallen asleep watching Netflix so Roscoe was in the living room with Shaun.

"Bro how long has it been since you had somebody? I can't even lie it's been a good two, three years my nigga. I'm just glad you happy". Shaun spoke.

"Man, I see so much potential in her. She believe in a nigga like no other, she get along wit erbody I bring 'er round minus the lil Tati incident but that wasn't ha fault. Tati may be my ex and all but when we broke up we made it clear we would remain friends". Roscoe sighed.

"I think you need to let Tati go. She fucking up something that's good for you, but I can't tell you what to do bro". Shaun stood up, going to throw his plate away.

"I want too. But Tati crazy and I'on want her doing no shit that might get both of us locked up. My temper short when it come to ha". Roscoe explained.

"Just have Nia to one-two step ha ass, she can fight can't she?". Shaun cocked one eyebrow up.

"The first time she encountered Tati, I could've sworn she was gone patch ha ass but I stopped it". Roscoe recounted.

"Well, you need to figure it out because you can't juggle these two because once Tati find out you and Nia exclusive exclusive, oh yeah she gon rock yo shit". Shaun replied.

"Man Tati ain't crazy enough, she know what the fuck goin on". Roscoe shook his head.

"Alright we'll see". Shaun smirked going into his room.

Roscoe knew he had to get Tati together, he couldn't let her keep disrespecting Nia especially now that she was his girlfriend.

7:32 PM

Nia was awake but Roscoe was sleep. She got up and put her clothes on and folded his shirt leaving it on the bed. She went over to Roscoe and kissed his forehead, his eyes fluttered open.

"I gotta go home". Nia whispered.

"Man to hell wit cho house". He sucked his teeth placing his hands on her waist and pulling her on him.

"Stop, I need to go before my Mom start tripping". Nia giggled as he began kissing her neck.

"Fine, but call me when you make it home". He planted a kiss on her lips.

"Ok". Nia got up and was bout to walk off but Roscoe stood up and grabbed her wrist. 

"You really thought I was gon let chu leave out by yoself hell nah. Imma walk you out". Roscoe slid on some slides and walked Nia outside.

"Awww you so over-protective". Nia kissed his jaw. 

They walked out the room and Shaun was laying on the couch, he had a wrap around his stomach.

"Awww Shaun feel better". Nia put a hand on his shoulder.

"At least SOMEBODY cares". Shaun flipped the bird at Roscoe.

"Man shut up you ain't dead so you must be fine". Roscoe slapped the back of Shaun's head.

"You abusive". Nia pointed at Roscoe.

"It's not abuse if he doesn't make it to the police station". Roscoe dismissed.

Nia and Shaun looked at Roscoe sideways.

"Whatever. Shaun feel better". Nia spoke as she walked out the door with Roscoe behind her.

"Thank you Nia, he don't deserve you". Shaun called as they walked out the door.

They walked to Nia's car and Nia leaned on the driver's side.

"I really had fun wit chu today". Nia blushed.

"Me too. But Imma take you on a date date sometime soon. Just gotta figure out my funds and dates and shit". Roscoe planned.

"Say less. Just let me know". Nia replied.

Roscoe pulled her into a hug and stood there for a while.

"You ok? You holding on like I ain't gon see you again". Nia giggled.

"Imma just miss you". Roscoe smiled.

Nia was blushing.

She tried to get in the car so that Roscoe couldn't see her blushing.

He pulled her back bringing his face close to hers.

"You ain't ever gotta hide yo face from me shorty. I love when you blush, when you smile, allat. It let me know I'm doing something right". He cupped her face in his hands.

Nia just blushed even harder.

He kissed her forehead and opened her door for her.

"Make sure yo ass call me when you make it home. Cause you be forgetting bout a nigga". Roscoe shook his head.

"That is not true. I try to give you yo space just as much as you try to give me mine". Nia rolled her eyes.

"I'on want no space. I want chu to be all up on my shit". Roscoe winked.

"Boy bye". Nia chuckled.

She backed out of the parking space and waved to Roscoe as she drove toward the street.

She drove home a wide smile on her face.

She pulled up to her house and Trey was waiting for her in the driveway.

"What the hell?". Nia frowned to herself.

Trey got out once he saw her pull up.

"What are you doing here?". Nia frowned.

"I came to talk to you...about...things". Trey shoved his hands in his pocket.

"Trey we friends and that's it and we barely that right now". Nia was confused as to what he expected.

"I wanna be more than friends and before you shut me down just hear me out. You gave me more than enough chances, shit more than I would've given you had the tables been turned. I realized somethin when you brought my Moms to the party. I need you in my life, Nia. Ain't nobody ever care bout me like you did. You even cared when I was on my bullshit and I wanna say I'm sorry". Trey apologized.

"I don't even know where to start wit chu. First, you accuse me of cheating on you. I ain't even the type to cheat because if I wanted to fuck Boston I would've dropped yo ass and fucked. If I wanted a relationship wit Boston I could easily have that. But I wanted yo sorry ass. You fucking got another chance on top of that and I asked you to do one simple thing. All I asked was for you to take me to the fucking Winterfest. Boston ain't wanna go but he still fucking took Jameer. Kyle ain't wanna go but he still fucking went because Gotti asked him too. You make sacrifices for the people you so call love my nigga. You not only stood me up but afterwards you knew you was dead ass wrong so you ghosted me. I did what I did not for you but for your Mom. She lost her child and I gave that back to her. So don't ever for a second mistake my kindness for even the slightest bit of wanting you back because honestly, I'm in a relationship already. I moved on so good riddance and get the fuck on". Nia let out all the hurt she was holding.

Trey had no words to explain his actions.

"It's Roscoe ain't it?". Trey wasn't looking a her now.

"That don't fucking matter I'm talking bout this shit right here. Me and you. And I already know you moving to Florida wit your Mom, I seen that coming from a mile away and you came here to see if I wanted you so you could drag me through a long distance relationship which wasn't gonna work because you and I both know that once I turn my back for even a second your gonna cheat or start talking to another female so lemme just save both of us some time and tell you that I'm seeing somebody and I don't wanna be friends with you. You cut that friend shit off when you stood me up". Nia rolled her eyes.

Trey sighed. 

He walked off the porch and got in his car and drove off.
