Janelle POV

Maggie:Girl, I'm still not reaching that calmed state of this news!

Me:What are you talking about?

Maggie:Your engagement! Duh!

Chloe:Damn you acting like you getting married. She not even acting so giddy. You don't even have a boyfriend.

I smack her arm and she shrugs, Maggie flips her the bird and I grin looking at my finger.

Me:I've learned to not count my chickens before they hatch.

Maggie:Don't say that! You guys are made for each other.

Chloe:I gotta agree, I mean you don't know what goes on behind closed doors but you guys seem to be amazing together.

Me:We are, we have our moments, but we've been through so much shit y'all, it makes me scared.

Maggie downs her glass and claps her hands.

Maggie:Story time!

Chloe:Here she go.

Maggie:Bitch you wanna know too.

Me:What do you mean story time?

Chloe:Tell us how you met.

I fix my feet underneath myself and sip my drink before shrugging.

Me:Third grade, we sat together, nothing special.

Maggie:I don't believe that for a moment, you said you were silent as a kid so he had to push the letter.

Me:He did.

Chloe:Okay so what happened girl! Entertain us!

I roll my eyes and look at them before speaking

Me:We had this questionnaire thing in the beginning of the school year and he remembered that I loved skittles, he had a staring problem and he also used to leave bags of skittles on my desk. One day while we were working together I noticed his hand writing matched the writing on the bag and since then we've been best friends.

Chloe:You suck at telling stories.

I roll my eyes at her before I turn to Maggie.

Maggie:Are you inviting your family?

Me:I'm not sure.

Chloe:Nuh uh girl that's dirty.

Me:Y'all don't understand the shit they put me through. Us through. My dad- never mind besides I don't feel comfortable inviting my family when his isn't here. It's not right.

Maggie:That's understandable.

Me:Yeah.

Soon I hear the door slam and I hear footsteps I see Khalil, Philk and Lucas, aren't they supposed to be at work?

Chloe:Why are you two here?

Khalil:Well, I live here and they're my guest. Why are you two here?

Maggie:Because she's my best friend and I'm her guest.

Me:I thought you worked mandatory over time?

Lucas:Some shit happened and they sent us all home.

Maggie:Is everyone okay?

Lucas:Yeah, everyone is coo, just something with higher ups.
