JAMALS POV:
Throughout the whole of my mum's birthday meal my older sister was giving Imarni the evils. Thankfully I don't think Imarni realised but I still need to find out why. We were now back at my mum's house for her birthday party with my whole family. I spun around as Imarni grabbed my hand just as I tried to walk off to find my older sister.
Imarni: where are you going?
Me: I just need to speak to my sister.
Imarni: don't leave me, I don't know anybody else here.
Me: alright come with me.
I pulled her up the stairs into my room.
Me: I'll be back in 5 minutes I promise.
She nodded taking her phone out.

Me: Jayla?
Jayla: what?
Me: can I talk to you outside please?
I led the way through the kitchen and out the back door until we were in private.
Jayla: what's up?
Me: you tell me?
Jayla: what?
Me: I know you know that I've seen you giving Imarni dirty looks since we got to the meal.
Jayla: I don't like her.
Me: why not?
Jayla: I just don't.
Me: Jayla it's not fair for you to hate her for no reason.
Jayla: I have my reasons. I'd just rather speak to her about it.
Me: I want to know?
Jayla: no. I said what I said.
I kissed my teeth as she walked off leaving me alone. What is she talking about? I sighed out going back into the kitchen to get a bottle of wray and nephews then went straight up to my room locking the door.
Me: let's take some shots.
Imarni: with that? Are you trying to kill us.
Me: something like that.
Imarni: when are you going to speak to your mum?
Me: Marni you can see she's having a good time. I can't do it.
Imarni: but I can only avoid her for so long and your little sister asks so much questions I know she'll figure it out soon.
Me: we can just chill in here for abit right? The door is locked so no one's coming in.
Imarni: okay fine but your sister just messaged me asking where I am.
Me: just ignore it she'll find someone else to play with soon.
Imarni: no I'm talking about your older sister.
Fuck.
Me: oh. Tell her to come up here.
IMARNI'S POV:
I smiled at Jayla as she walked into Jamal's room not looking too happy.
Jayla: Jamal.
Jamal: what?
Jayla: I need to talk to Imarni please.
Jamal: ye just pretend I'm not here.
Jayla: no. Get out.
Jamal: na. What is there to hide?
Me: Jamal it's fine.
I watched him as he bit down on his bottom lip looking at me as he walked out.
Me: what's up?
Jayla: what's the deal with you and this Tyree guy?
My heart instantly dropped &I'm wishing I didn't say it was okay for Jamal to leave because now I don't know what to say.
Me: Tyree who?
Jayla: the Tyree that's been commenting hearts under your Instagram pictures & you've been responding with the same energy... That Tyree.
Me: so you've been watching my page?
Jayla: Jamal is my little brother the last thing I'm going to do is sit back and watch him get played.
Me: you don't know what you're talking about.
Jayla: then who is he?
Me: why don't you ask Jamal?
Jayla: because I'm asking you.
Me: it's none of your business.
Jayla: I'm making it my business.
We both had a death stare session for what felt like minutes until I left the room bumping into Jamal who was just coming out of the bathroom.
Jamal: what happened?
Me: I can't do this, I'm going home.
Jamal: Imarni wait.
I pushed him off of me running down the stairs in my heels and then out the door. Why am dealing with this when we're not even together?
**
I ended up stopping around the corner and getting a taxi back to my mum's house since it's closer. I got into my room, took my heels off & turned the light on. Straight away I spun around since I heard someone groaning on my bed.
Me: Ty?
I instantly got butterflies in my stomach as he woke up looking back at me.
Tyree: hi.
Me: I'm sorry I woke you.
Tyree: it's fine, where did you go?
Me: it's a long story.
Tyree: you look good.
My heart started beating faster as he got up walking over to me in just his boxer shorts.
Tyree: you've been drinking?
Me: just a little.
Tyree: where was you?
Me: I told you it's a long story.
Tyree: couldn't of been a club because you're dressed too formal for that right? Must've been a date or something?
Me: it wasn't a date.
Tyree: what was it then?
I was about to tell him until my phone started to ring & of course it's Jamal. I walked away from Tyree going over to the window.
Jamal: I'm sorry. I didn't know she was going to come at you like that.
Me: it's fine. She's just trying to protect you.
Jamal: where are you?
Me: I'm at home now.
Jamal: can I come & talk?
Me: no Jamal it's fine. I'm just going to sleep it off. I'll see you at uni tomorrow?
Jamal: alright kool.
I hung up just as Tyree came up to me hugging me from behind.
Tyree: so you was with him?
Me: I told you it's complicated.
Tyree: are you back together?
Me: no.
Tyree: promise?
I slowly nodded turning around so we were facing each other.
Me: I'm moving out.
Tyree: why?
Me: I think it's the right time.
Tyree: good.
My heart started beating rapidly again as we stared each other down until Tyree finally made the first move. He kissed me pulling our bodies closer together.
*
I woke up with a smile on my face looking at Tyree. He was still fast asleep so I put my hand on his stomach until he started groaning waking up.
Tyree: morning.
Me: hi.
My smile slowly dropped since I could sense something wasn't right.
Tyree: I have something to tell you.
Me: what is it?
Tyree: I'm with Tianna.
