"Girl, you did me wrong, you did me wrong
You did me wrong
All by my side
Argue, let's talk
I need you by my side
You had my back when the gang used to slide"
Wrong~ Luh Kel

The fighting was so exhausting. They sat in next to each other on the floor, not sure what to say now. They said some messed up stuff to each other. They sat close, the faint smell of misery in the air.

"Remember when we started hooking up? And you told me, you warned me, that your shit would have me falling in love." He lightly laughed a bit at the memory. "If the you then knew what the you now knew that I fell in love with what was between your shoulders, she wouldn't believe it." A small smile found his lips, remembering how she was adamant that she had the type of body that dude's fall for and not the personality. "Even though you're an actual headache, I swear to God, I can't picture my life without you anymore."

Her head laid on his shoulder as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. "You told me you weren't gonna fall in love... and you did." A fond smile found her lips, "You never stayed gone for long. You stuck around the longest. I lost a bet cos of yo ass."

Brandon let a short laugh escape, feeling a bit lighter than they had before. But still, he had to say it. "Don't pull that shit like you did today. If you love living and if you love me,... you won't do that anymore." Before she could protest and tell him to kinda fuck off, "I'm leaving Maggie. I'm gonna break up with her."

It was music to her ears, but she wasn't gonna tell or show him that. She simply smiled, a small one, feeling Brandon's hand on hers.

"That don't change the fact that what you did was fucked up. You did me so wrong... but so did I. Promise me you're gonna work on your spiteful attitude." She couldn't help the smile that surfaced.

"Only if you promise to for real for real, dump Magnolia."

Their somber moods where still just that, only somewhat shifted as they sat in a new silence as the clock struck five fifteen in the morning. They collectively stood and went to the bedroom, him sleeping first as she showered first, joining him. Sleepily, he pressed a kiss to her shoulder and held her close.

" I guess what I'm sayin', I guess what I'm sayin'
I guess what I'm sayin' is, I
I fuckin' love you
I guess what I'm sayin', I guess what I'm sayin'
I guess what I'm sayin' is, I
I fuckin' love you (ah, yeah)
Love you through the better days
Love you through the rainy ones
Champion, you're number one, yeah, that's true"
I.F.L.Y~ Bazzi

Late afternoon with their phones on dnd, they had music playing on her Bluetooth speakers. They were refreshed, happy. His lips brushed against hers and hummed. "I could do this forever." He reminded.

Royalty was wearing his shirt and a blue cotton hipsters, barefoot, sitting on the couch with her phone in her hand. She ordered some Chinese food, some groceries, and liquor. Brandon took her phone, holding it at an angle and smiling as she smiled at the camera, his head against hers. He took a picture of her off guard, looking into space, and she took one of him on his phone. "I'm posting these, just so you know." She announced, putting them on Instagram and making the caption as:

@brandonarreaga I.f.l.y

She had a few other pictures that could raise questions, like him kissing her forehead, and one of them holding hands, but in the moment, they were happy with one another. Brandon kisses her lips and caressed her side, and smiled in the kiss. "Say it." He commanded.

She snorted a bit, "Hell nah. Don't ruin our day." She told him, he smiled a bit and pecked her lips repeatedly. "Fine. I'll say it for you." He muttered, lips capturing hers for a elongated kiss, tongues brushing against one another as he deepened it. "I love you so much." Her body felt hazy as he continued the kiss, one thing always leading to another.

Brandon peered at the lit up phone, it being dark now and glanced at the girl sleep under him. Since it was on dnd, it didn't buzz or anything, but the there was a missed call from Skies. He saw a few text messages and saw he wanted to know if he was coming over or not, taking the hint and cutting it off. Brandon decided he'd better look at his phone, but upon reaching for it, he changed his mind.

She stirred a bit, looking up at Brandon, making his little heart melt. "Check your phone." She stretched and yawned, going to unlock her phone. "I'm scared." Brandon admitted, making a lazy cackle escape her lips, "Nigga, check yo phone or I'll do it." Brandon huffed, hesitantly turning his phone over. He had six missed calls from his four best friends collectively, thirteen unread messages to go along with it, and twenty missed calls from his girlfriend. "Jeez..." he sighed, eyes peering to hers, and for a moment, he lost his train of thought, seeing her lean forward and toss his phone away as she straddled his hips.

"Doesn't matter as long as here." She whispered, him cupping her cheek and pressing their lips together as the faint sound of arguing, across the neighborhood, happened with the best friends and his girlfriend.

But, here is Brandon, smiling at Royalty in her home after a long night of arguing with each other, laughing, kissing, making love like they weren't screaming 'fuck you' some hours ago.

"I wish it was always like this." She whispered to the man, brushing a manicured finger across his cheek. "It will." He reassured. She didn't want to ruin the moment and say she didn't believe him, reaching for her phone to check her Instagram notifications.

While Maggie commented: Beautiful Friendship💕

Royalty let out a loud holler, it making Brandon jump a bit. "What the fuck, Royalty?"

She shook her head and smiled, "You're lil friend said we had a beautiful friendship, and I hearted that shit." Brandon snickered, "You petty." He laid back between her legs, chest to chest, her rolling them over to the floor, him groaning a bit as she straddled his waist. His hands held her waist, feeling her lean forward and connect their lips, "I'll handle that later and handle you now."

And they continued again, but you could still hear the faintest phrase escape her lips, "I love you too." Even though, they were too quiet for him to hear.
