Me and Jamal both stood in silence but I could feel his arm tensing up around my waist.
Me: Vanessa really likes the place and I don't have a reason to say no.
Jamal: so you're moving away from me because of the drama and you think moving in with him is going to stop drama?
Me: me and Corey are just friends. We have no issues going on and Tyrees in a relationship now so he can't get involved.
Jamal: that's what you used to say about me right? & You think that a relationship is going to stop him?
Me: that was completely different, what do you expect me to do?
I spun around so we were face to face.
Jamal: I know you're having issues with Tyree at the moment and I don't want us to be arguing again too.
Me: I don't want that either.
Jamal: so what's going to happen with me and you when we all move out?
Me: that's up to you.
Jamal: if it was up to me we wouldn't be going anywhere. I still want you here with me.
Me: but you'll be free to bring whoever you want back home without me walking in on you like the other day.
He chuckled pulling me closer to him by my waist.
Jamal: oh you got jokes?
Me: I'm being serious.
Jamal: you know me baby girl. I don't like fucking around, I'd rather have one special girl.
Me: but you and demari were both hoeing around before I met you though right?
Jamal: that was just a phase I was going through because my ex broke my heart, you already know this. That whole Rihannon situation was out of character for me.
Me: I think you can definitely find someone here.
Jamal: & what if I already have & I'm standing here with her right now?
Me: you're funny.
Jamal: I'm serious Imarni. I think we were good together.
Me: I've got too much going on right now. I'd be selfish to bring you into that.
Jamal: I get it. I just want you to know where my minds at. I don't feel like I'm done with you... With us.
I looked at him biting my cheek since I didn't know how to respond. I feel like what he did with Rihannon was the last straw for me because I know he did it purposely to hurt me.
Me: I'll see you in the morning.
He pulled me into a hug kissing my forehead a few times then let me go.

It's been a few hours since I came to bed and I still can't sleep, mostly because I'm still here arguing with Tyree over text because he still believes that I'm in the wrong for changing my mind about spending his birthday with him. He has a whole girlfriend that clearly wants to spend the day with him yet he's mad at me? Men are really trash and I'm sure Tianna deserves better.
Jamal: you still up?
I looked up at Jamal nodding as he stood in my doorway in his boxer shorts.
Me: yeah what's up?
Jamal: my rooms cold.
Me: have you tried putting some more clothes on?
He grinned at me biting his bottom lip.
Me: if you're going to lie to me Jamal you need to do it better.
Jamal: okay fine I'll be honest. I can't sleep, I want to cuddle with you and I saw your light on so I thought I'd ask.
Me: thank you for being honest.
Jamal: so... Can I?
Me: no you cannot.
Jamal: now who's lying? I know you want me to.
I rolled my eyes as he turned my light off crawling into my bed.
Jamal: what are you still doing up anyway?
Me: it's a long story.
Jamal: we've got time.
Me: no we really don't. Our lecture is in less than 6 hours and we haven't even slept yet.
Jamal: alright fine. You can tell me all about it tomorrow. Goodnight baby girl.
I screwed my face as he started snoring on my neck. How has he fallen asleep so quickly? I decided to end my argument with Tyree by putting my phone away then pushed my body back onto Jamals so I could go to sleep too.

TYREES POV:
I finally called Tianna back since I missed her call earlier. I know she wants us to go out for my birthday on Saturday that's why I didn't answer her call. I wanted to see if Imarni was still going to spend the day with me since she promised me she would. And it's not that I don't want to spend it with Tianna, I just know I'll have a better time with Imarni because I can relax and be myself around her without having to think about it. But with Tianna we still don't know each other too well and we've only just got together. But I guess I have no choice since Imarni's going back on her promise.
Me: hey T. You okay?
Tianna: I'm good. I thought you went to sleep without saying goodnight.
Me: na, i was just watching TV.
Tianna: what you got planned for your birthday?
Me: nothing yet why?
Tianna: I wanna take you out.
