Rolling over on my bed I moved to the opposite side to avoid the unwanted sunlight coming through my open blinds. I had been staying at my house for the last couple of days and it's been pretty lonely.

It had been three days since I found out about Quincy and this chick he had been dealing with, and honestly to say it wasn't bothering me would be an understatement.

Fixing my sheets I dreaded getting up. I had got my period yesterday and my cramps were literally killing me so I had to use a sick day. Today my brothers will officially be back home so Dylan texted me like 5 times yesterday basically saying that as soon as he gets back he'll be coming over with Corey & Carter. It was only 7:30 so I decided to just lay in the same spot for a little while until I could actually get up. Eventually, time had passed and I had fallen asleep unintentionally. It was now 9 so I forced myself to get up and get my day started. I after my shower and everything I knew I had no plans on leaving so I just put on a fresh new pair of pajamas. Hearing my phone ring I went and grabbed it before laying back down

"I know yo ass ain't sleep" Dylan spoke loudly.

"Nigga no I just got out the shower and stuff"

"Aight well imma go home and drop my shit off and stuff then I'm swinging through. Gimme like 40 minutes"

"Okay"

Hanging up I got up and made my way to the kitchen. Opening my fridge I grabbed my eggs, bacon, some orange juice and then my pancake mix from the top of the refrigerator. As I began cooking my phone vibrated again.

"Helloooo" I smiled

"Good morning beautiful"

"Matthew" I closed my fridge putting my hand on my hip.

"What? It's just a compliment not flirting"

"Umm. So what's up? How's house hunting?"

"Nothing really. That's actually what I called you for. So I picked the original house I had my eye on and now although I do sell houses I'm not really good at decorating them. So I wanted to know if maybe sometime next week you'd help me decorate it?" Squinting my eyes I looked at the phone.

Laughing he shook his head.
"Not like that I swear. I just know if I did it on my own it wouldn't look like a house, more like one picture on the wall, a couch, a bed, and a tv. Since you told me you like decorating it could be a fun.. you know"

"Well since you put it that way sure I'd help you. Just text me and let me know when you want to go"

"You're the best. Thank you, ill text you later then" Smiling he hung up the FaceTime call and I finished making my food.

Since our introduction at the club, Matthew and I had been texting here and there. He was a really nice guy and I actually somewhat liked talking to him but I did let him know immediately about my relationship with Quincy so he was aware that we couldn't be anything else but friends. He was pretty understanding of it and his flirting died down a bit. He actually still wanted to create a potential friendship as did I so we didn't stop talking. I don't feel like it's that big of a deal simply because Q and I weren't in a relationship and Matthew was just a friend.

"Open the fuck up" Carter knocked on my door making me laugh.

"I hate you" I opened the door letting him and my other brothers in.

"Oh shit it's bacon over dere'"

"Not for... you" I watched Corey eat my food in disbelief.

"Shit good. It's something about turkey bacon man"
