Javae and Tremaine have known each other since they were babies. Everyone knew they were gonna be together it was kind of their destiny. He was going to take over his families business as head of this janitor company and she was going to be a pre sc...
I was standing there. I had almost walked of when he grabbed my arm.
"Vae....I," he said looking at me just as surprised as I was to see him. "Don't explain you don't owe me no explanation for nothing we were kids then and were way beyond grown now but it was nice seeing you." "Can we catch up or something like maybe over dinner or just have a casual chat."
I knew he was trying, but honestly I just wanted to be as far away from him as possible I knew his reputation and I was not trying to be caught up in it to say the least. To say I was a shy girl would be an understatement I just did not like people. "Okay" I said not really sure of why I even agreed. He smiled. "Great but for this to work ima going to have to get your number." I rolled my eyes and gave him my number before walking to my car when I got in I called my sister on speaker phone. "Yo yo." "What up hoe what you doing I asked trying to beat around the bush." "Nothing eating and feeding Eli." She said and I could hear her telling him to sit down and eat. "I seen Trey today" I said just throwing it out there and waiting for her to respond. "And did you get ya man back is all I'm asking" she said like in a I'm not impressed attitude.
"My bad didn't mean to bore you with my news" I said sarcastically rolling my eyes.
She laughed "Your not boring me I just knew this day was going to come y'all have been ducking each other for ten years. Even going as far as being in my house together and not saying a word to each other but secretly burning holes in each other's faces with your lustful gazes."
"Damn was it that noticeable"I chuckled kind of embarrassed.
"Only to me and Chris but that's because we know y'all to well. It's like we always joke like our love mentors didn't make it past 2nd base yet we hit a home run. I know you love him vae and that shit never got easier for you to swallow. You always supported him as a friend and a fan but when he got reckless as a artist you stop going to concerts even stop listening to his music. I bet you don't know not one of his new songs. But I'm not gonna take that gamble because I know where you're heart for him lies and you may surprise me and secretly know every word to every song" she said laughing.
"I don't know what to do he wants to go out and talk but I couldn't even breathe when he touched my arm today."
"Go it may be what you need to finally let go or you could fall back in love with your best friend but no pressure" she said laughing. "I'm hanging up I really don't like you right now" she laughed and we exchanged farewells.
I didn't know what I wanted I had all these old emotions coming back emotions I had buried to protect me from ever being hurt but I was hurting in every way shape and form. I missed my best friend but I wasn't ready to open up that can of worms of what happened.

Trey's POV
I couldn't wrap my mind around how amazing she still looked after all these years I was still in awe of her. Her milk chocolate complexion that seemed to be dipped extra in gold her plush lips that I use to love to suck on and the way she swayed her hips. My song I can't came in my mind and just the first couple of bars had me wanting to call her. In the past ten years I've seen her a lot cause my best friend and her sister were married but when ever I was around she was quiet and she never got any where near me I just figured she hated me for leaving. I deserved it cause when I left I got caught up in the life. My best friend was already famous and he had been trying to get me to sing for years and so when I finally did it you could only imagine the fun we got into. I kept in contact with her for the first year but we eventually stop calling then stop texting then there was nothing.
"What's got you so focused Maine" my grumma asked.
"Yeah who's the girl" my mom asked peeking over her iPad at me.
"Nobody" I said just looking at the number. I didn't want say anything cause I didn't know myself what was fully going on. On one hand Ma and Grumma new Javae and they loved her more than me sometimes and on the other hand she was just as stubborn as the two who raised me so I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Should I even go along with it. What if it don't work after all she was right. Back then we were kids and now we have separate lives and a lot more to think about if we were gonna be in a relationship. Shit I had a now 8 year old daughter to factor in. See even after all these years and me and Chris telling each other everything Tatiana Ali Neverson was my own personal secret no one knew but me and my mom and grumma. Shit I had never really been scared of nothing so I texted the number.
Text- Hey Javae do you want to hang out tonight maybe get some ice cream Okay we can meet an about an hour.
I was surprised she texted back so fast so I told ma I was running out for a bit but I'd be back in a little bit.
When I arrived she was already there and just the sight of her even dressed down had me an awe she wore what I assumed was her college sweatpants that had Harvard in yellow with a white shirt and she had her hair in a neat bun twist thing.
"Hey" I said greeting her she stood and we gave one of those fake hey huggs you give to family you don't like.
"So I'm just cut to the chase I know you hate me but ima be back in Va a little more now and I low key thought we could hang out like old times you know catch up." She just stared at me but didn't say anything. "I sighed I'm trying vae can you at least try to meet me half way."
"You can not come back after 10 years and expect for me to just pick up where we left off things were said stuff was done. I had to grow up and I'm not the same person I was all those years ago and if I'm being honest I lost that girl a long time ago."
"I know I did some dickhead shit by not calling and stuff I just".... I trailed off cause I really didn't have a reason I just did it.
"I told you earlier today you don't owe me anything but you have to accept I'm not the same either." "Are you still my friend do I at least have a chance. I asked not sure she really cared.
She looked at me you will always have a place in my heart no doubt I could never hate you and boy have I tried she said looking at her hands. Them words stung like hell ill admit but part of me was ecstatic I still had a chance. "But I don't know if we will ever be close again I just gotta protect my heart I'm the only one who's been good at keeping the bull shit away this last couple of years and I've been in some really bad relationships so I'm just numb to emotions really."
I frowned and clenched my jaw I hated seeing her hurt but I knew I couldn't push she would just shut down.
"Who hurt you" I managed to get out through clenched teeth. "It doesn't matter it's over and I'm over him and it. I've moved on and I didn't look back and I'm safe is all that matters." She got up "I gotta get going I have to work in the morning but it was good to clear the air a little."
"Yeah it was" I said getting up and walking her to her car. "Dive carefully" I said and watched as she pulled off and then got in my car I need to talk to Jayla cause obviously I missed a whole lot.
