I walked around our new place with Corey who had his arm wrapped over my shoulders as he told me what each room is and everything else I needed to know.
Me: when are you guys moving in?
Corey: within the next week.
Me: oh right. Me and Vanessa aren't coming until next month.
Corey: I know she told me. That's kool, you can still bring your things across slowly.
Me: I think we should set some rules too.
Corey: like what?
Me: no loud sexing when others are in the house.
He bursted out laughing at me.
Corey: I wouldn't do that anyway.
I gave him the side eye since I know he's lying.
Me: I know your type.
Corey: no I'm serious. I don't bring girls home unless we're in a proper relationship & I'm ready. I hate when they know where I live cause they're all crazy. I'd rather go to their house or a hotel.
Me: oh so we're all crazy now?
Corey: yeah you are. I just haven't seen your crazy side yet but I'm going to be living with you now so maybe I will.
Me: or maybe you're the problem.
Corey: na. Definitely not.
We finally got back to my new room which was completely empty just the carpet and painted walls. He moved his arm off of my shoulder so we could both sit on my window sill looking at the view.
Corey: did you decide what you're doing with your ex.
Me: which one?
Corey: the one that you're still in love with.
Me: I'm not in love with him. I still have love for him but it's different. And he decided for me anyway.
Corey: what does that mean?
Me: he's with someone.
Corey: oh so are you still talking?
Me: yeah a little but I don't want to be the reason the relationship ends so we agreed to be friends.
Corey: and that's working out?
Me: no but I think as his relationship gets more serious he'll respect it more & I'm okay with that.
Corey: how can you love him and be okay with him being with someone else.
Me: because I know what it's like when we're together and it's not what I want.
Corey: then what do you want?
Me: I don't know. I just know that what I had with Tyree isn't it.
He slowly nodded.
Corey: I get you. What about Jamal have you finally forgiven him?
Me: yeah we're on good terms right now.
Corey: good for you.
Me: thanks for your advice the other day.
Corey: you know I got you.
Me: you should know I got you too if you ever need me.

I was now on my way back home. This morning I texted both Jamal and Marcus to meet me at a café for a quick chat. What they both didn't know is that I wasn't planning on going. I want them to make up before I move out because I know I'm the reason they stopped talking and I hate it because they were good friends before. Just as I expected Jamal started to call me since I was supposed to be there 20 minutes ago.
Me: hi
Jamal: why did you do this?
Me: I'm sorry. Please just talk it out with him.
Jamal: you think it's that simple?
Me: well you need to apologise for attacking him.
Jamal: I hate you for this.
Me: do it for me please? You can come back and cuss me out all you like, I don't mind.
He hung up on me so I texted him the kissy face emoji, hopefully he does the right thing.

I was now laying on my stomach on my bed on facetime with Romeo.
Romeo: did you like the house?
Me: yeah it was nice. I'm a little excited about it now.
Romeo: &you'll only be down the street from me and Sam now.
Me: so I'll be round yours everytime I get sick of seeing Corey and Trey's face.
Romeo: more like I'll be down yours for dinner every day.
I started laughing shaking my head.
Romeo: have you met Vanessa's boyfriend yet?
Me: no why?
Romeo: I'm supposed to be going out with them on Friday.
Me: she seems happier so he must be good for her right?
Romeo: I know but she's been with some questionable guys in the past.
Me: hopefully it all goes well then.
Romeo: right.
Jamal walked in my room coming straight over to me massaging my butt cheeks whilst sitting on my legs.
Jamal: what's up Romeo?
Romeo: nothing much. You good?
Jamal: yeah I'm kool thanks.
Me: Romeo, I'll talk to you later alright?
Romeo: kool.
I hung up getting up since Jamal finally got up off my legs.
Me: how did it go?
Jamal: we talked but I don't like how you set me up like that baby.
Me: I'm sorry. I just needed to get it sorted.
Jamal: I told you, you don't need to do that.
Me: did you both apologise?
Jamal: yes we did.
Me: good.
I jumped on him hugging him until he fell back onto my bed holding onto my waist so my body was on top of his.
Me: thank you for not leaving when you saw him.
Jamal: I only did it for you.
Me: and now you have your friend back.
Jamal: I wouldn't go that far. I'm going to his party Friday night, you should come with me.
Me: maybe. But I'm going home on Saturday for Tyrees birthday so I won't be drinking or stay out too late.
He screwed his face up sticking his bottom lip out at me.
Me: why don't you ask Rihannon to go with you?
Jamal: Imarni you're not funny.
I bursted out laughing as his screw got deeper.
Me: what? You like her don't you.
Jamal: I'm not joking with you baby you need to stop bringing her up.
Me: no because I had to see what I saw. So you should deal with it.
Jamal: fine, what are you doing for his birthday on Saturday?
Me: his girlfriend is throwing a suprise meal for him and I guess we might go to the club after.
Jamal: his girlfriend invited you?
Me: yes, she doesn't know I'm his ex.
Jamal: that's crazy & he hasn't told her?
Me: not yet.
Jamal: you know that means something right?
Me: he's just not serious about the relationship yet but they only got together a couple of weeks ago so he'll tell her eventually.
Jamal: no Marni. It means he still wants you around.
Me: you're wrong.
Jamal: am I?
