Till Death (Quadrilogy)

Chapter 25

I pulled my phone out of my backpocket, as I locked the front door of the house. I glanced down at the phone to see that Trey was calling me. I quickly answered, balancing the phone on my shoulder.

ME: "Hello?"

TREY: "Hey Simi."

I smiled.

ME: "Hey, wassup?"

He took a deep breath before continuing.

TREY: I have some news for you."

I slid into my car and closed the door.

ME: "Is it good news?"

TREY: "Not exactly...it's about Asia."

ME: "...Okay, well what is it?"

TREY: "We had a long talk, and we're getting back on good terms."

ME: "Well that's great."

TREY: "Yeah it is...while we talking, she brought up my friendship with you."

I sighed.

ME: "What did she say?"

TREY: "She hasn't been comfortable with our close friendship, and she thinks it's best if we didn't talk as much, she wants us to keep our distance."

I frowned.

ME: She's serious about this?"

TREY: "As a heart attack."

I sighed.

ME: "This is really crazy Trey, is she really that uncomfortable with our friendship?"

TREY: "Yeah she is, she uncomfortable with the fact that we've been more than friends...and we've slept together, and now we're buddy buddy."

I sighed again, thinking about how this situation was slightly similar to me problems with Ryelle and August.

ME: "Alright.....well I won't call or text you for awhile."

TREY: "..Alright, you know if this was up to me it would be completely different, but Asia's my wife and her needs are my first priority."

I smiled.

ME: "I know, but alright....I guess call me when all of this blows over."

TREY: "I will."

I hung up the phone and shook my head. This whole situation with Trey reminds me of how I felt about Ryelle and August being close friends. Maybe August was being truthful when he said him and Ryelle were just friends. And now that Im on the other side of the spectrum, I can see were he was coming from.

"So have you called Sean yet?" Ellis asked, nudging me in my side. I chuckled. "No I haven't, and I don't know if I am either." He frowned. "Well why not?"

I sat down on our usual couch and sighed. "I had a good time last night, and he seems like a cool guy...but I miss my baby." Ellis rolled his eyes. "Oh god, here we go." He sat down on the couch across from me and got comfortable.

"I've been to pissed lately to think about how much I miss my man." I started. "And after talking to Sean last night, for some odd reason I started to miss August more." Ellis frowned. "Chile this ain't making no sense to me." I chuckled.

"Once I got home, I justcouldn't get my mind off him. Now that I''ve calmed down a little and got out of my feelings, I wanna talk to him, like really talk....and maybe even aplogize to Ryelle."

Ellis eyes widened. "Now you must really have lost yo goddamn mind, why the hell do you want to apologize to her??"

"Becuase." "This morning I got a call from Trey. He was telling me that Asia was uncomfortable with our relationship because of our past history together." He motioned for me to continue.

"And even though Trey and I are really just friends, I kinda understand why she would be uncomfortable."

"....Okay, this is kind of making sense." He said leaning back into his seat. "August has told me a billion times that him and Ryelle are just friends. But the fact that they kissed makes me uncomfortable with their close relationship." He nodded. "So why are you aplogizing??"

"Cause I know how it feels to be in her shoes now, and it doesn't feel good. If I can still ne friends with Trey with nothing going on between us, then he should be allowed to be strictly friends with her too."

Ellis nodded slowly. "Your maturity still shocks me, cause you used to be the queen of pettiness." I laughed. "I know. But seriously, it's been on my mind sense I got off the phone this morning, I really think Im going to put a end to all of this bickering and lay everything out on the table.

"And how you gon do that?" I smirked. "Well, Augusts' last show is next week in Atlanta, and I was gunna go out there." He frowned. "You gon fly all the way to Atlanta to talk to him and apologize to that little girl?" I shook my head no.

"No, I was going to call Tisha, the contracter for the boutique in Atlanta and let her know that I wanted the grand opening of the store to be on the same day as his show, so I can kill two birds with one stone." He nodded his head, impressed with my logic.

"Alright, you want us to fly out with you?" I shook my head no. "No, somebody needs to take care of the shop while Im gone and besides, I just wanna do this alone." Ellis looked me up and down, suprised at my words. "Damn who are you?" He asked in a chuckle.

"Someone who's seeing things clearly."  Ellis nodded. "Alright, well go on with yo bad self sus."

After spending that time with Sean last night, I couldn't help but think about my relationship with August. And after talking to Trey this morning, I know how it feels to be in Ryelle's position. All I know is that I need to woman up and put all the petty shit aside and actually hear August our for once. I wanna take the first step to fix our marriage. And me flying out to Atlanta seemed like a good start.
