THE lime green polish reflected off of my orbs as I kissed all over her pretty brown toes. She moved her foot out of my grip as I held onto it tighter practically kicking me in the face. The sheets were thin making her slip hitting her head on the wall above my headboard. She squinched up her eyebrows becoming upset as a painful expression made its way onto her face.

"I told you to stop moving." I held in my laughter as she rubbed the sore spot on her scalp.

"You did that shit on purpose playing so damn much."

I chuckled shaking my head standing up next to the bed. I went next to my nightstand checking my phone for notifications.

"So what we bout to do?" I asked placing my hands behind my head once laying on the bed next to her again.

She shot me a knowing look squinting her eyes, "nothing you know I just came over to chill, nothing more."

She crossed her arms looking down at her wristwatch.

"Ain't nobody worried about sex, I know you just came through to chill I was just asking mean ass." I gently pushed her body over turning up the volume on the television.

"I'm glad you do know, because you're still on thin ice."

"Girl whatever hand me that damn pillow." I reached over her to grab a pillow as she swiftly took it hitting me in the face.

Kacey had come over tonight to chill and catch up. We came to a mutual agreement that we were better off platonic mainly because I couldn't settle down right now and she respected that. I thought our negotiation would involve sex but she wasn't in alliance with that. Sex was just sex to me, a good time, but for Kacey sex was some emotional shit and I didn't have time for all of that. We watched rerun episodes of Martin on my bed eating snacks.

Usually I would've went out with my niggas after work, but Owen was tied up with Tiana, Kenny was watching his child for a couple of days, and Andre was stuck working overnight just to get some extra hours in. Things hadn't really been the same between all of us ever since Kenny got caught up with Ally, but that shit happened a year ago it was all stupid and childish if you ask me.

Kacey rolled over on her side turning away from me laying her head down.

"What you doin?"

"Going to sleep I'm tired plus I got shit to do tomorrow."

"Then what was the point of comin' over here girl you could've stayed home."

"Because I wanted to."

She just missed my ass.

"You just wanted to be up under me."

"Boy shut the hell up and turn that damn light off so I can go to sleep." She pulled the thick covers over her body.
