🎄Chapter Thirteen.🎄

"No chiz. Jahking Guillory's your boyfriend?"

"You know him?" Brandy had asked Santarico, smiling.

"Heck yeah, I do!"

Kodaviah and Brandy were at Santarico's Pawn Shop, although he didn't actually know that it was a pawn shop.

Kodaviah had just recently told Santarico that the reason he had come here in the first place was really because of Brandy.

But Santarico had never seen Brandy before. He had assumed that she was Kodaviah's girlfriend, with Kodaviah telling Santarico that she had another boyfriend of her own.

They were talking about him, with Kodaviah feeling a little bit jealous of Jahking because he wanted to be with Brandy so bad.

But he couldn't- not just because she was taken but because it would have most likely affected his university work to begin with.

Plus he didn't even know her for that long. He probably didn't have some genuine feelings for her, it was most likely just lust or something.

"Heck yeah I know him!"

"How?"

They were best friends in some American school apparently, with both of them being on the school's varsity basketball team until Jahking had to move countries and so did Santarico as well.

They had been talking about Jahking for minutes on end.

Kodaviah wouldn't have expected this kind of behaviour from Brandy though, mainly because moments earlier she was annoyed at Jahking for never being there for her.

Why can't you just break up with him? Kodaviah had asked her when they were in the car. You deserve someone who actually has time for you sis.

Don't walk on eggshells for someone that's not even worth it in the first place.

I'm scared to break up with him, and he's actually busy. It's not like that's just an excuse for him not to talk to me or anything.

Kodaviah facepalmed himself.

They were waiting for the red traffic light to pass after just jamming to Aaliyah's We Need A Resolution on KISSTORY.

That's not the point, Brandy, what I'm saying is he's clearly too busy for you, so move on. The more chances you give someone then the less respect they have for you.

Jahking's let you down several times but you're still with him. Why though? Let yourself loose, sis.

Find someone else. It's really not that hard.

It was very hard.

The love of Brandy's life didn't just appear out of nowhere. Plus it wasn't actually like she had just met Jahking one day and she had decided to be his girlfriend.

They had known each other and they had had feelings for each other before they had moved away from each other.

The feelings came back when they saw each other again coincidentally at some shop the other day.

Truth be told, Kodaviah had actually given Brandy some really good advice.

She just didn't always consider them, or if she did, it would have taken her some time to do so.

"If it answers your question, Esther and Vishavané want me to go to J Star Valentine and Shawntae's concert later on tonight."

J Star Valentine (Tupac) was a very famous fictional rapper, whose real name was Jadamiel, hence the J. Valentine was his surname though.

And Shawntae (Da Brat) was his girlfriend. Everyone had literally been talking non stop about this concert since they had found out about it.

Kodaviah didn't say anything as he had realised something wrong with that entire statement.

"Esther and Vishavané want you to go there, but do you want to go there?"

"I guess."

"Brandy."

Kodaviah wouldn't have stopped looking at her.

She had done the same thing, looking away from him at the end and sighed.

At the crystal clear river.

Reluctantly, she had then stared at him back, where Kodaviah had asked her once again if she wanted to go to the concert herself.

"You can't keep on relying on people, most especially to make your own decisions for you. It's not healthy, what if you lose them?"

"The only reason they want me to go to this concert in the first place is because they think I study too much and I need a break. Plus tomorrow is the weekend so I guess we could always make up for lost work during that time."

They actually had a point.

Brandy had worked way too hard, she did need a break, with Kodaviah kindly pointing all of this out to her.

She didn't actually mind going to the concert now, most especially when Kodaviah had offered her to come with him.

"Ahem."

Brandy and Santarico had been talking about Jahking for so long that they didn't even notice Kodaviah there just folding his arms.

He had shot Santarico a dirty look, with him actually noticing that before then asking them what they were here for.

Those damn J Star Valentine concert tickets, that was what.

"Ooh, I got some of those at the back. I'll be right with you, just gimme one second."

They had waited for him to go to the back of the shop where the tickets actually were before Kodaviah had shot daggers at Brandy although Brandy didn't know why.

When she had realised this, she had stared back at him, before sort of waving her hand right in front of his face in order to get his attention again.

"You okay, Kodaviah?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"You seem a lil tensed up."

He had a crush on you, sis.

Or he was developing one anyway.

And her talking about her boyfriend didn't help that at all. Kodaviah was trying to get over the fact that he would have never been with Brandy.

Although this was a lot easier said than done.

He sighed.

"I'm fine."

"You sure?"

His eyes had followed hers and the other way around for a few seconds, almost as though they were in some sort of staring contest right now or something.

Kodaviah was the first person to break eye contact, before he had then told Brandy that she was fine again, even though she had seemed petty unconvinced.

Then he had sincerely apologised on his behalf.

They had then waited for Santarico to come back but damn, was the dude almost seriously taking his time right now.

And it wasn't even funny anymore.
