"Mhm," Keyshawn began turning a little still on top of me holding me tight. The whole night he didn't let me go and I found myself holding on to him a little as well.
"Keyshawn, I gotta' pee," I mumbled seeing him almost go back to sleep.
His eyelashes fluttered and he shook his head. "Mhm." He held me tighter.
"I'm coming back." I began to move. "I promise." Letting me go, a weight lifted off me a little not being under his heavy body anymore.
It took me a minute to find the bathroom but I saw one in the hall not wanting to go into his personal one in his master bedroom.
After I was finished peeing, I adjusted my sweatsuit. Listerine mouth wash was on top of the sink and I wasted no time pouring some inside the cap knowing he probably didn't have another tooth brush.
Spitting out and rinsing my mouth with water for a few moments, when I was finally done I walked out not caring about my hair that went wild through the night.
"I'm sorry for last night," a now awake Keyshawn spoke getting up from the couch stretching making a couple of things crack and pop, while a little groan escaped his lips.
"I think we both needed it, don't be sorry."
"You leave tomorrow still?"
"Yea I-"
"Look at me when I'm talking to you." He demanded taking notice to my eyes on the floor. His voice was still deep and a little raspy from him waking up and I won't lie and say it wasn't attractive how his voice sounded.
"Trinity." He sternly said my name making me raise my head to look at him. "Stop doing that shy shit with me. Eye contact always." Nodding my head I agreed, it was about respect.
"I leave tomorrow."
"How is this going to work?"
"What do you mean?" I fiddled with my fingers. "We can FaceTime-"
"Nah, I can't be around you 24/7 with us working so calling each other is good for that, but I just spent a year without you. You're buggin' if you think I don't want to be in your presence as much as possible." He looked me in my eyes hovering over me.
"I thought we could take the friendship slow-"
"Nah."
"Excuse me?" I was taken back from him cutting me off.
"We moved too slow before and that was my fault. I understand we not going to jump back into being best friends again after one emotional conversation, but moving slow is dead. I'm trying to show you how important you are to me, you're going to feel my love this time around. I'm not playing anymore with you." He took my hand pulling me off the couch causing me to have a little smile.
It felt good to hear this coming from him, being taken serious relationship or not is always what I wanted from him.
"Okay well, we can try to connect our schedules and see when we're going to be in the same cities. I'm going to be in Chicago next week."
"I'm going to be on tour with Lil Durk soon. We start in Chicago on the 27th, I gotta' be there a day earlier so after rehearsal and everything we can chill. From there we send each other our schedules and make it work."
"I like that." I buried my head in his chest as my arms wrapped around his neck and his around my waist.
Pulling away from the hug, I moved eye contact. "Let me get ready so I can take you home."

"Other than the lack of sleep life is just really good. I'm managing with my school work, and I'm ready to be back over here too." I smiled picking up spoonful of rice as I ate dinner with my mom and my aunts.
"I'm really happy for you Trinity, I know you're my niece but you always been like a daughter to me." Aunt Tonya smiled at me and I couldn't help but to smile back.

She was definitely my favorite aunt.
"Maybe that's because you didn't have any damn children that really did something with themselves," Aunt Carol took a jab at Aunt Tonya still looking at her phone as she had been doing this whole dinner.

"Carol, I'm sick of your bull shit. Stop talking if you have nothing nice to say damn," My mom lightly yelled at Carol making her roll her eyes.
"We're all happy for you baby, don't mind my attitude towards your mom and your aunt. It's just a sibling thing," Aunt Carol apologized and I nodded a little not caring at all.
It's been like this my whole life.
I did wish I would have seen my father on this trip back but of course, he was busy, it was fine I didn't expect too much anyway.
"I saw Keyshawn drop you off today, ya'll back together?" My mom questioned taking a sip of wine as I shook my head.
"No, just working on our friendship." Of course, my family knew about the abortion, well at least Aunt Tonya and my mother. My dad and Aunt Carol didn't need to know.
Aunt Tonya eyed me, after the whole situation she became more protective just like my mother.
"Please don't start," I interrupted what I thought would be a lecture from them as they shook their heads back and forth.
"I've always liked him I just hate how much hurt that relationship caused you, I see how much you love that boy. I made so many mistakes with your father, I don't want to see you go through what I have had to. Just please friends or not be careful, I love you just want you happy," My mother kissed my forehead and I lightly smiled.
"If you need me to shoot that fine young man just let me know Trinity, I'm ready anytime." Aunt Carol continued texting on her phone not knowing the whole story, but still down whenever.
Laughing I thanked her telling her I would let her know.
"I don't want to talk about him, I just want to spend as much time as I can with you guys. Put on Money Heist."
I was in a good mood and I was mad to say that I knew it was because of the time spent with Keyshawn. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that I was grumpy the last past days but once he appeared he was all that was on my mind, and that all that made my heart feel something.
A heart that hadn't felt anything for a while.
I needed to distract myself. I knew how I was once I had him back in my life I became dependent again.
