Tyree: when are you coming back?
Me: not for a few weeks now, I have alot of work to do.
Tyree: Can I come and meet you then?
Me: maybe.
Tyree: we can go get some food.
Me: does Jeremiah know we're talking again?
Tyree: we're just friends right?
Me: I know but he'll still be mad at us.
Tyree: Marni it doesn't matter what your brother knows.
Me: you need to speak to him because I don't want to be the cause of you two fighting again.
Tyree: you don't need to worry about it. Tell me when you're free to go out with me?
Me: okay how about I'm busy until you speak to my brother.
Tyree: for real?
Me: yes because I don't want him mad at me again.
Tyree: fine. I'll talk to him later. If we fight again just know it's your fault.
Me: thank you Ty.

JAMALS POV:
Rhiannon: I heard you and Imarni broke up.
I looked up from my phone as Rhiannon came and sat next to me in the staff room at work.
Me: who did you hear that from?
Rihannon: is it true?
Me: answer my question.
Rhiannon: I have my sources.
Me: kool.
Rhiannon: what happened?
Me: why do you care?
Rhiannon: I just want to know why you broke up.
Me: did your source not tell you that part too?
Rhiannon: unfortunately not.
Me: we just both decided it was better off that way.
Rhiannon: oh. Maybe there's someone better out there for you.
Me: like who?
I raised my eyebrow at her expecting her to point at herself but instead she started laughing.
Rhiannon: you already know.
Me: I gotta go do some work.
I left the room going onto the shop floor. How exactly does she know we broke up?
**
I decided to go to Costa at lunch partly because I want to speak to Imarni and I also needed an excuse to not have to spend it with Rhiannon. I walked up to the table where she sat with Romeo.
Me: can I talk to you in private?
She looked up at me screwing.
Romeo: it's kool, I'm going back to work now.
Me: thanks.
He got up so I could sit down opposite Imarni.
Me: don't act like you don't want us to make up.
Imarni: what's the point when you're going to find any excuse to start an argument again?
Me: are you for real? So if I was trying to get your friends number you would be okay with that?
Imarni: it was a bet.
Me: fuck the bet.
Imarni: are we really arguing about the same thing again?
Me: yes we are because clearly you don't understand what I'm saying.
Imarni: you always say one thing then when it comes to doing it you switch up. You wanted us to be friends with benefits then we had to stop because of you. Then we made a bet that we could get more numbers than you guys and then we had to stop because of you. Now you're trying to act like it's my fault that you was in your feelings.
Me: I just asked you to respect the fact that I don't want you talking to my friends.
Imarni: didn't I say I was okay with that?
Me: then why have you added each other on Instagram?
Imarni: why the fuck are you watching my page?
Me: answer my question.
Imarni: it has nothing to do with you.
Me: you're a liar. I'm done trying with you.
I stood up leaving her to go back to work.

Rhiannon: you're back early.
Me: yeah I just want to get this shift over with.
Rhiannon: is everything okay?
Me: yeah I'm good.
Rhiannon: you sure?
Me: yeah... do you wanna come mine later?

IMARNI'S POV:
After work I went out with Romeo for some food since I didn't want to go back to the apartment to have to deal with Jamal again.
Me: do I really have to do this?
I pretended to cry sitting in Romeo's car outside of the apartment.
Romeo: yes you need to because my boys are waiting outside my house as we speak.
Me: as if you're ditching me for some guys.
Romeo: I'm sorry. I'll call you later. Just don't shout each others heads off again.
I rolled my eyes getting out of his car going into the apartment. Luckily Jamal was in his room so I sat on the sofa turning on Netflix until I heard a female laugh. I froze turning the TV back off so I could listen some more. That definitely doesn't sound like Vanessa, but it does sound familiar. Instead of stressing my head trying to figure out who it was I went into his room.
Me: what the fuck?
I stood in the doorway very confused looking at Jamal and Rhiannon naked under his sheets. Are my eyes deceiving me? There's no way on earth this is real.
