Me: fuck... Have they gone?
Demari stood in the kitchen shaking his head slowly with a smirk on his face.
Demari: Imarni is going to kill you.
I kissed my teeth banging on the counter top trying to figure out how I'm going to make this up to her.
Demari: they left almost an hour ago.
I looked at my watch making my jaw drop.
Me: shit I was gone for almost 2 hours.
I quickly took my phone out of my pocket turning it back on. I was so focused on getting back here after I finished talking to Rihannon that I didn't even turn it back on. All I could see was a bunch of missed calls from Imarni. I tried to call her back but it rung out.
Me: why are you still here then?
Demari: I was just getting a couple small things that they left I'm going back now.
Me: alright I'm coming with you.

I bit my lip walking up to Imarni who had her back to me talking to Trey. I hugged her from behind kissing her in her neck.
Me: I'm so sorry baby.
She grabbed my hands moving them from around her waist and then turned around to face me.
Imarni: don't talk to me.
I bit my lip standing still as she walked around me leaving me with Trey who was trying his hardest not to laugh I put my middle finger up at him then left the room to find her again.
Me: baby please don't do this.
She carried on ignoring me trying to find little things to do even though everything was clearly unpacked and in its right place.
Corey: thanks for your input today Jamal.
Me: fuck off.
He started laughing with Romeo and Vanessa making the situation more tense between me and Imarni.

We were all sat in the front room. Demari went back to our apartment to pack since we're moving out tomorrow too but Imarni was still ignoring me and I told myself I'm not leaving until we're on better terms. I've been staring at her for the past 10 minutes and I know she can feel me looking but she was still avoiding me so I went on my phone to text her instead.
Me- I love you.
I watched her with my own eyes look at the message and then ignore it and it actually hurt like I could actually feel my heart breaking in my chest.
Me: Imarni stop playing games.
Corey: I think she's mad at you.
Vanessa: she most definitely is and she has every right to be.
I rolled my eyes since her hype men were all giving their input.
Me: why don't you mind your business.
Vanessa: Jamal you disappeared like you didn't know what was happening over here.
Me: first of all Imarni knew where I was and second of all where the fuck was your boyfriend at since you've got so much to say?
Vanessa: he was here, if you weren't doing a disappearing act you would've known that.
I sat back in the sofa screwing thin air because I know I'm not in a position to be mad because I made a mistake but at the same time I told Imarni where I was going so it's not like I went behind her back and did anything.
Me: Imarni can we talk in private?
I started biting my jaw since she continued ignoring me watching the TV as if she couldn't hear all of this happening right beside her.
Me: kool... Can you three give us some privacy please?
I watched as Corey and Trey nodded walking out leaving Vanessa.
Corey: good luck.
Me: Vanessa why are you still here?
Vanessa: excuse me?
Me: what exactly are you trying to prove?
Vanessa: it's clear Imarni doesn't want to speak to you.
Me: you have no say in this considering the bullshit you did to her.
Vanessa: that doesn't have anything to do with you.
Me: and this doesn't have shit to do with you either so you need to leave the room.
We both stopped arguing as Imarni stood up walking out of the room.
Imarni: maybe you're the one that needs to leave... This house.
I put my middle finger up at Vanessa since she stuck her tongue out at me after Imarni left the room. I don't like the way things are going already and she's only moved in here today.
I gave Imarni 10 minutes to herself and then I followed her into her room. She left the door unlocked so that's a good sign right?
Me: baby?
Imarni: haven't you left yet?
Me: you know I'm not leaving until we talk this through.
Imarni: I just need sleep.
Me: okay fine we can talk about this in the morning but I'm not leaving.
Imarni: you need to pack to move out tomorrow.
Me: I don't care, you're more important.
Imarni: oh, but I'm not more important than whatever you were doing earlier on though right?
Me: don't say that like you don't know what I was doing and you know you are. I just got caught up.
Imarni: how did it take you 2 hours to tell her to grow up and stop all the bullshit that she was doing?
Me: I'm sorry.
Imarni: I don't want an apology Jamal.
Me: what do you want from me then? You've been giving me the silent treatment for hours now.
Imarni: where did you go?
Me: I told you where I went.
Imarni: where?
Me: we met at a café by our work.
Imarni: and talked about what?
Me: about her needing to calm down and stop causing arguments. It's all sorted now as I said it would be. Can you stop being like this now?
Imarni: no because that didn't explain why it took so long.
Me: you know how she is.
Imarni: no Jamal the only thing I know is that she wants you and you pick and choose when you want to lead her on.
Me: that's not true.
Imarni: why was your phone off?
Me: I was just being polite because she was getting emotional and the fact that I was texting you made it worse.
Imarni: I don't care how she feels.
Me: well this won't need to happen again because it's all sorted... No more Rihannon.
