Let's Talk About It

Mijo walking in definitely helped the awkward ass situation. The way Chris' girl had been glaring me down was not about to pass. When she got here I already had it in my mind that I was going to be nice, but it was clear from the moment she laid eyes on me that she felt threatened.

"I still can't believe you're here Kaye. Just, wow.." Mijo continued on and on about how much he'd missed me as we both sat in the couches of the studio - it was late, or should I say early. After me and Carolyn? not so formal introduction, her and sevyn got into it, I don't know what it was all about, but from the way everyone reacted it was as if they'd seen it all before... And often. Right now Chris was out side trying to calm her down, sevyn had left not at all fazed by the whole thing, and kevin had gone with his girlfriend.

"I know, I missed you M." Was my reply and he smiled that smile. Mijo was 2 years older than Chris and I, but growing up we were a clique - wasn't nobody fucking with us, then his parents got a divorce and we were split up due to the amount of time he spent going back and forth, he made new friends and it just wasn't the same anymore, we were still close - but like i said, it just wasn't the same.

"What happened with you tho? I left for 2 weeks, came back and you was gone. I tried contacting you, I went by your moms she said you went to stay with your aunt, but I knew you wouldn't just up and leave, and that nigga Chris was fucked up when you went, he didn't want to talk about nothing to do with you... Couldn't even drink no damn pepsi. He never told me what went down though..." He trailed off and I knew that was his way of asking me just what did happen, I wasn't going to tell him so I did the only thing I could do. Lied.

"I couldn't take school no more Mijo. I was in a really weird place mentally and I had to get out. " I lied. He nodded in understanding. "I'm sorry for doing you like that though." I had to apologise, I made that decision without thinking about his place in all of it. He flicked me off.

"I'm still mad at you, but I ain't tripping I'm just glad you're here now. What I wanna know is!" He started making me chuckle.

"What?" I said back confused but still smiling.

"When the hell did you get this fine becauseeee" I rolled my eyes making him laugh.

Chris came in as if he'd just got done arguing, his face was red and he looked angry as fuck.

"You alright bruh?" Mijo asked looking at Chris with furrowed brows. He nodded in response then let out a sigh before crashing down on the chair in front of us.

"Well in that case. You owe me all kinds of explanations. How you seen Kam and ain't tell me?" Mijo shouted jokingly making both me and chris chuckle, its crazy that we were all back together.

"I was going to tell you eventually." He responded adjusting in his seat and met eyes with me.

"What happened?" I asked referring to his girl still with our eyes locked, he looked away when i said it though and prepared an answer.

"She's on some bullshit that i'm not with right now so I told her to leave." He grumbled just as Mijo's phone went off.

"Hold up, baby momma calling." He got up leaving the room; I raised my brows in shock because I couldn't believe he had a kid. When he was out of ears reach Chris sat forward to me. "Whatever you do, don't tell mijo about any of this, alright?" he put out under his breath referring to how we were in this situation now.

"You want me to lie?" i asked confused.

"No... just skip the truth, it complicates things less." I chuckled rudely then.

"Whatever, you just don't me to tell him to save your as-" before i could finish mijo came back sighing loudly.

"As much as it kills me I gotta go, i gotta do school run in like 4 hours." Chris chuckled before dapping him.

"Tough shit bruh." He stated as mijo bent down to hug me. "I'll get your number from Chris and we can get together iight, we need to catch up." He told me and i nodded with a smile.

"Byeee" i sang as he left then sat there whilst Chris gathered his things.

"Come on." He led us out of the studio the back way where i'd parked then stood at the range rover waiting on me to catch up.

"Where's your car?" i questioned. "I let cae take it and told my security to take the rest of the night off." He explained reaching his hand out for the key in mine.

"Mhmm." I replied shortly.

As we rode to the apartment it was really little to no conversation circulating, her head was rested against the blacked out windows and I couldn't help but stare at the side of her face every few moments.

"You know, i really don't want you doing that shit no more ..." i said and she turned her head to me slow.

"What am i supposed to do Chris? I don't have a real job, its the only thing keeping food in my mouth." My jaw clenched as i listened to her talk.

"Do you see me sitting in front of you; Kamaiyah I want to help you, if you never worked another day in your life you'd still live good. Like i told you all them years ago, when i make it we all do. And the last thing i'm going to let you do is lay on your back for some nigga... for money Kam? Fuck nah" I told her but she clearly had nothing to say because she didn't utter a reply.

When we got to the apartment it had started raining, pouring actually. She got out of the car and moved quickly into the building. She wasn't fond of rain, hated lightning and would jump at the sound of thunder, scary ass.

She still hadn't said a word so i didn't think to excuse myself as i walked to the bathroom. When i walked back in she had changed out of her clothes and was stood in a onesie tying her hair up. She looked at me momentarily before getting up and walking over to her bed and getting in.

Lightening struck first and i watched her eyes shut as thunder followed. "I'm out. You gone be alright here?" she looked up with scared eyes.

"You leaving?...Could you stay for a little? Just till the rain calms down, I don't want to be alone when it's like this." I sighed walking over to the bed and sat beside her before taking off my shoes and sprawled our on top of the sheets she was under.

"You can get under the sheets you know." She said low and I pondered for a second before actually doing so. It was so weird to be lying next to her after all this time, I used to love having her wrapped in my arms, both our bodies stuck from sweat.

"I hope I don't fall asleep, i got a meeting at noon." I yawned thinking out loud. The lighting struck again and her body jumped as thunder followed shortly. My basic instinct caused me to put my arm around her and hers forced her to push back up against me. As much as it was a surreal moment, it felt natural, so i just lived in the moment.

"I missed this." She muttered, high enough for me to hear it. "Me too." She edged closer too me and i felt her relax in my arms.

"I'm just so mad at you Chris..." From the way her voice cracked i knew she was fighting back tears, fighting them back because i knew better than to think she'd ever let them fall. "I don't want to be, but i can't help it..." she paused "...That night ch-"

"Please Kam ...just not tonight." I said cutting her off before she could get into anything. We both didn't speak another word to each other before she fell asleep.
