Heaven.

"Can I help you?" I ask. I don't know why he came to look for me. "Heh?" He looks confused. "Why are you coming to me?" Like he should be comforting his friend and calming him down, let alone talk to me. "You need a friend right now." He starts to cheese mad hard. Is this a game? "I got my best friend on speed dial." I don't need him.

"But are they here right now?" Asshole. "No, but shouldn't you calm down your angry best friend." I say. "I know he gon calm down cause he do this all the time, but I'm worried about you." Huh? Why would he be worried about me all of a sudden. "Why is that?" I'm mad confused.

"Cause you look like someone who needs to be cared about and I think I can do that," Simp. "Now ian looking for no relationship or nun but, I can at least be your friend." Sureee now you wanna be friends. Shut up.

"Yeah I find that hard to believe." I am not about to fall for this lightskin's game. "Forreal shawty, I'm a man of my word." He looks serious. "Yeah sure." I roll my eyes. "What you mean shawty? I don't find meaningful relationships in taking advantage of women." Only from this small talk, I can tell he has changed because he was not like this before. Yet he's lightskin. "Yeahh..... are you high or drunk? Cause where is all of this coming from?"

There is no way he wants to be "just friends." "This is coming from me being a nice person, but you'd only know that if we were friends."

He's probably plotting for revenge since I broke up with him. "Yet I'm your ex.. so why are you tryna be my friend?" I'm clearly skeptical cause that's odd. "Exactly, you're my ex so we were cool at a point." I squint at him because he may have a point but we were kids.

"Yeah when we were younger." My facial expression makes me look very confused. "Exactly we ain't young no more, we grown, and I think we need to start making grown decisions." I laughed. Right in his face.

"First of all we're teenagers. Fuck you mean "gRowN" lol." This nigga funny. "Why don't I show you how grown I am." I was pulled out of my seat and next thing you know lips were on mine. It honestly felt reallyyy good but, he's still my ex, so I push away. "Am I grown enough for you now?" He chuckles. "Oh you think you're funny haha." He's a lot to handle already. I can tell. "I ain't joking shawty, ain't nothing comical." cOmiCal.

"Oh but is.." I laugh. "You can't lie to me and tell me that you didn't feel anything. Now is that funny or is it?" Oh he's an asss for real. "No." I lie. "If you didn't feel anything then you wouldn't mind doing it again, would you?"

My face is straight but if I were to show how I really felt my eyes would be popping out of my head. "You're my ex." I reply. "And you're mine so we're just stating facts." He's a butt. "What about your bestie aren't ya gonna check on him?" I ain't forget. "He's fine, now I'm worried about you right now." Oh my gosh.

"Well you can go check on him, I'm going to grab a drink." I start to walk away, but he grabs my arm and pulls me close so now I'm looking up at him. "We ain't friends, but I'm worried about you." He says in a sincere tone. "Simp."

I manage to escape him but that didn't stop him from saying, "Don't worry shawty, you're gonna want my attention later. You still have some growing up to do." I flip him off while exiting.

I honestly wasn't thirsty and I don't trust drinking anything, but I just needed to leave the premises. The more I stayed there, the more he would play games. I didn't have time for that so I had leave.

I decided to head back to the kitchen and it was like nobody was in here surprisingly. I sat on top of the counter pushing some cups out of the way. I would have threw them out but, it would've been more cups, so I'll just help Chosen clean up.

I finally had the chance to text Zianna and I did so, spilling all of the tea and informing her about everything. She went from laughing, to shocked, to hyping me up for kissing Maurice. I did include how the kiss felt good and I wanted more but he's my ex and I just saw him today since him and Myles 8th grade graduation.

Speaking of Myles, she told me that he would apologize, but I already knew that because he knows where he is wrong in our pity arguments and he apologizes. I told Zizi I would talk to her later and she went back to watching some show on Netflix. I see movement over by the kitchen door and saw Katiya, Millie, and Rose enter.

"Oh hey Heaven, we didn't know you'd be in here." Rose spoke up. I hopped off the counter and said, "Oh yeah I wanted to find some peace and quiet so I could text my friend." They all nod. "That makes sense, well if you're done texting you should hang out with us." Katiya says. "Yeah I agree." Millie chimed. That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

"Sure, why not." I shrug. We walked out to the pool and sat in the chairs. Chosen has a pretty big house and I don't think he has any siblings.
