I sat on imarnis bed watching football on her TV as she sat on the floor painting her toe nails. I jumped as she screamed my name at the top of her lungs.
Me: why the fuck are you shouting?
Imarni: I've been speaking to you for the past 10 minutes.
Me: my bad, what's up?
Imarni: how long have you been celibate?
Me: a couple weeks why?
Imarni: just wondering. Why did you go celibate?
Me: Marni I'm trying to watch this right now.
I paused it as she sighed out walking out. I followed her to the bathroom hugging her from behind as she washed her hands in the sink.
Me: what's wrong?
Imarni: nothing.
Me: if you don't tell me I can't help you.
I pulled her closer to me resting my head on her shoulder.
Imarni: did you go celibate for her?
I tensed up since she brought tianna up again. This is why I didn't want her to know. Ever since she heard me on the phone she's been bringing it up every time we speak.
Me: imarni you know I love you but I already told you I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not speaking to anyone.
Imarni: so why can't you tell me who that was on the phone?
I bit my lip as she spun around trying to look me in my eyes.
Imarni: what's her name?
Me: I told you already... Nobody.
Imarni: prove it.
I slowly leaned down to her ready to kiss her until I heard jay calling my name. I froze stepping back from her.
Me: I'll talk to you later.
Before she could respond I left the bathroom.
Me: what's up?
Jeremiah: I just booked our flights.
I grinned nodding. For his birthday he wanted us all to go somewhere in America so I gave him the money and told him to organise it.
Jeremiah: you ready to see some American booty?
I laughed agreeing with him even though in the back of my mind I'm thinking about imarni and Tianna but technically I'm single right?

IMARNIS POV:
I start uni again tomorrow so I decided to come back today since Vanessa's moving her things in. I've barely spoken to Jamal since I told him to give me time because I didn't know what to say to him. And I've noticed tyrees somewhat distancing himself from me. We still talk everyday I just know he's hiding something from me and it has something to do with the person he was talking on the phone to the other night at my mum's house.
Jamal: hello baby girl.
I looked up at him shocked as I walked into our apartment.
Me: I thought you wasn't coming back until tomorrow.
Jamal: yeah I came back a couple days ago. I just needed time alone to think... About us.
Me: oh right.
I slowly nodded trying to avoid his awkward stares.
Jamal: you asked me to give you time. It's been almost a week now baby we need to talk about this.
Me: I don't think I want to talk about it right now.
Jamal: if not now then when? I know I fucked up but I didn't know why they were fighting. You know if I knew I would've never defended Marcus. I've sorted it out now.
Me: what does that mean?
Jamal: I was pissed off when I found out the real reason so I went to his apartment the next day.
Me: and did what?
Jamal: it doesn't matter.
Me: fighting Marcus isn't going to change what happened.
Jamal: I know that.
Me: so why the fuck did you go do that? You know what, keep doing what you want.
I kissed my teeth bringing my suitcase into my room until he took it out of my hand leading the way.
Jamal: it's best we talk this out now before demari comes back tomorrow.
Me: Vanessa's moving in today.
Jamal: does De know that?
Me: yes he does.
Jamal: so you told him but not me?
Me: jamal we have barely spoke since the new year.
Jamal: because you asked me to give you some space and I'm trying to give you want you want but I told you I don't want to lose you.
Me: we should stop.
He froze biting his jaw while squinting his eyes at me.
Jamal: what does that mean?
Me: you know what it means.
Jamal: I want you to say it.
Me: this is too much right now.
Jamal: if you mean it say it.
Me: You know exactly what I'm saying.
Jamal: I told you I fucked up. I know I should of never jumped in the fight and if I knew the reason they were fighting it would've been very different.
Me: it's not just that.
Jamal: Can't we talk about it and work it out?
Me: for right now I think we should break up.
I watched him after I finally said it, he doesn't look too amused right now.
Jamal: all because of that night?
Me: I just think it's for the best.
Jamal: I can't believe this shit.
Me: I'm sorry.
Jamal: did you mess around with him?
Me: no I didn't.
Jamal: I fucked up once and you're doing this. Why?
Me: because I can't deal with the constant arguing Jamal. I really like you but we fight all of the time.
Jamal: but the good times are better than the bad times right?
Me: I'd rather have no bad times at all.
Jamal: that's not realistic baby. Especially when you still have regular contact with your ex.
Me: this has nothing to do with Tyree.
Jamal: yes it does because you spent the whole of last week with him.
Me: how would you know that.
Jamal: that's why its so easy for you to end us because you have him to fall back on to.
Me: this has nothing to do with Tyree.
Jamal: stop fucking lying to me.
I stepped back as he started shouting but I'm telling the truth. Why would I end it with Jamal for Tyree when I know he's hiding something or someone from me.
Me: we both need to focus on uni.
Jamal: give me another chance?
