MAY(POV)

Waking up to a knock at my door I grabbed my robe from the chair and told whoever it was to come in. I was so tired I didn't even bother to get out of bed.

As the door opened I seen Hannah rushing in the room with the most excited look on her face.

"Girl what you looking like that for?" I asked her sitting up in the bed.

"Girl Pooh is down stairs waiting for you to wake up honey. He been down there for about 20 minutes now."

"You're lien," I said while jumping out of bed rushing to the bathroom.

"I don't know why he popping up over here knowing we ain't talking right now. That only makes the situation worse because I told him I needed space."

"Girl it's been enough space already. Go get your man. Look I know what he did was fucked up but look at who he is he's Pooh. A dude known for having lots of hoes. I mean that don't make what he was doing right but you know bitches throw their selves at him all the time. It's up to him to put them in their place and up to you to let a bitch know that's your man period," Hannah said.

"I know. I just don't want to get hurt in my first real relationship."

"Hell I haven't even had a real relationship yet but what I do know is that every relationship will have it's ups and down and maybe a broken heart but atleast you'll know what to expect next time around," Hannah said getting up. "Now hurry up down stairs girl I'm trying to be nosey," she said laughing.

"I rushed out the bathroom and brushed my hair back into a ponytail,grabbed my phone and headed down stairs.

Walking into the kitchen I could see Pooh sitting at the table eating a plate of food. Of course ma feeds everyone who enters the house.

I walked over to her and gave her a hug as I grabbed an apple off the counter. I just wanted to get this talk over with so I can go on with my day.

"Goodmorning Lin-Lin,"Mr.Gater told me as he gave me hug.

"Goodmorning Mr.Gater," I said as I returned the hug.

"We gone let you and Pooh talk. Remember what I told yo ass dude if you fuck over May you fuckin over me," he said in a serious tone before walking out the kitchen.

"Before I say what I wanna say imma be a man about this shit and apologize. If you feel like I lead you on I'm sorry fa that. We can start over be how it was when a nigga first started feeling you. If you I've me the chance too I'll show you different I mean a nigga can only try to make you forgive them but it's really on you to make that decision. Whateva decision you make I'll accept it but I'll always be dea for you as a friend if that's the route you wanna go," he said grabbing May's hand.

"You know how I felt about you Pooh. I felt secure,happy and comfortable around you. Those are some feelings I never felt around a man except for Mr.Gater who has been there for me since I was little. Everything felt real with you the feeling was great. You fucking with other females and also fucking with me ain't right. You don't see me around here talking to other dudes I gave you all my attention. Knowing that any female can get yours because of how they look and what's in between their legs is crazy. I accept your apology though because you're human and humans fuck up from time to time," she said looking at Pooh.

"I only have one more thang to ask you. Will you be my girl? Lemme gone stamp that right now?" He asked.

"Uhhhhhh let me think. Nah I'm just kidding yes I will be your girl Pooh," she said standing up to give him a hug.
