Sometimes you have to walk through the darkness to see the light.

Aanvi Zenobia

I rolled my eyes seeing the nasty ass pizza, I was hungry and school lunch wasn't going to work. Lee sat down with a mug on her face but I saw the tears in her eyes making me more aggravated.

Nothing was wrong with Lee, she just so dramatic and I honestly didn't have time for her right now. The Diddy bops sat down and looked at her then back at me acting like they care about Lee.

"Why you crying best friend?" Alea asked.

"My stomach hurt so bad." Lee whined wiping her face.

"You on your period?"

"First day."

"Aw baby, you want me to get you some food?" Malone asked.

Laughing I opened the snap from Zeph as he sent me a picture of him, Royal and Sef all sticking their tongue out. I went to take a picture of Lee but my flash was on making all of them look my way as I tucked in my lips trying not to laugh since I got caught.

"Why you taking pictures of us?" Alea asked.

"Girl your face will never be in my phone, I was taking a picture of my sister. Mind ya business."

"Seem mad to me."

"Why am I mad? I'm happy as shit today, well besides being hungry." I shrugged.

"Wassup Lea." Izzy walked past our table as Alea smiled then stood up to hug him and kiss him on his neck.

I raised a eyebrow then gave Lee the same look she was giving me. I laughed watching them converse, I couldn't wait to tell Zeph this bullshit.

"Alright, y'all gotta move. I don't know why you this close anyway." Lee said looking at Izzy and Quinn.

"You always got something to say, annoying as hell." Quinn looked at her.

"I said what I said." She folded her arms making me laugh.

"And you just keep laughing like you-"

"Girl says something I don't like so I could have a reason. I dare you." I looked directly at Alea.

"You so tough now Nobi." Izzy chuckled. "I saw ya mom the other day ona corner, I see the resemblance."

The first time he bought her up I was in tears so he think he know how to get to me. He thought that bringing up my mom was my soft spot but it wasn't. I could care less.

"I'm going to get up and walk away before I kill all three of y'all."

I stood up walking out of the cafeteria, on the way out I bumped into somebody. I was already annoyed and ready to fight so I closed my eyes and slowly counted to three. Opening my eyes I saw Sincere standing there.

"Oh hey Zenobia, that was my fault." Her voice spoke as I looked at her confused.

"You good."

"Are you?"

"I'm confused, why didn't you tell me you were back?"

"I tried but Izzy said he wasn't telling you shit, apparently y'all beefing and he wouldn't tell me why. Lee's number was changed and you didn't have a phone so I figured I'll just run into you here."

"When did you get back?"

"Yesterday but we can catch up later. I see you got a phone now, lemme enter my number."

Handing her my phone, I watched her enter her number along with her name. When she was done, she handed me back my phone then hugged me and went her way.

I called Zeph as he answered on the first ring making me laugh. "Babe?"

"Why do you sound like that?"

"I'm hungry "

"And what else?"

"Aggravated as hell."

"And?"

"Want to be everybody's ass, specifically Lee's right now."

"What Lee do?"

"For not realizing the Diddy bops not her fucking friends and putting them in my life."

"I'm bout to bring you a Snickers, you aren't you when you're hungry." He stated making me laugh.

"I really am hungry baby."

"What you want?"

"Dave and Buster's."

"Nobi." He sighed. "I'mma just come pick y'all up after school."

"Can my friend come?"

"You have no friends."

"Zeph." I rolled my eyes.

"I'mma just have to get the truck then cause Sef and Ro coming too."

"Okay." I smiled. "See you in a few muffin."

"Alright baby girl."

I hung up and then asked Sincere did she have plans and when she said no I invited her along. I walked into my fourth-period class and sat there as my teacher looked confused.

"Why are you here twenty minutes early?" Mr.Robinson asked looking at his watch.

"I hate these kids."

"I feel that vibe." He nodded making me laugh. "You hungry?"

"What you got?"

"Chicken and shrimp stuffed shells with cheesy garlic bread."

"Mr.Robinson I love you." I stated leaving my phone on the desk and getting a plate and fork from the closet in the class.

He put three shells on my plate along with a piece of garlic bread, I thanked him going back to my seat. I needed Mr.Robinson to start being a chef cause this was amazing.

"You cooked this yourself?"

"Yeah, I bought extra cause somebody is always hungry." He said making me laugh.

"It's real good."

"Yeah, I cook while my wife handle the kids. It's better that way cause I hate my kids, I hate all kids."

"Mr.Robinson." I gasped laughing.

"I'm kidding, I love my kids, sometimes."

"I think if I had kids, they would be my world because I couldn't get the love I wanted from my parents." I shrugged.

"That's why I make sure my kids have everything they ask for, they could ask for the Moon and I'm already suiting up to go get it."

I smiled, he seemed like a good father. "How many you have?"

"Two girls and one boy, my boy Nyck 12, Natalie 9 and Natasha 5."

"That's wonderful."

"You want kids?"

"Yeah, I want so many. I want at least 6-8." I said making his eyes widen. "I know but I love big families."

"Each as it's own but I'm good with my three."

"Zeph get in the car." I rolled my eyes as he watched everybody leave out.

"Nah, this nigga keep disrespecting you thinking he tough, I'mma smack his ass as I supposed to."

"Why did I even tell you?" I asked myself rolling my eyes. "Baby, I'm hungry can we please leave?"

He looked at me and sucked his teeth, he opened my door for me as Sincere and Lee got in. While he was driving his jaw was clenched and he didn't talk to anybody.

"Just give him a few minutes," Royal said as I was getting out of the car.

Nodding I did as he said and stayed away from him, I didn't like it when people took their anger out on me. When we got to Dave and Buster's, I sat in between Sincere and Lee as I talked to both of them.

Nobody was in the mood to play games so after we ate, we just decided to leave. As we were walking to the car I spotted Izzy and hoped Zeph didn't.

"There go Izzy!" Lee messy self said making me roll my eyes.

"Really Lee?"

"Why you keep tryna save this nigga?" Zeph stopped walking making me squint​ my eyes in confusion.

"Who you talking to Zephyr? I don't give a fuck how mad you are, stop playing with me."

"I know exactly who I'm talking to."

"Yeah alright, knuck if you buck."

"Chill," Sef said pushing us apart.

"He's with his mother and Ava, y'all know her y'all look at her as another mother, you can't just-"

"He wanted to talk shit, I said I'mma smack his ass on sight. He in my sight right? Aight cool, hold this for me Sef."

He took off his chain and watch handing it to Sef as I sighed. I hope Izzy just gets smacked and leaves it at that but I know him, this was going to escalate.

"It's just a nice ass day for some people to get smacked, right Mitch?" Lee smiled as she recorded them for Snapchat.

"Record him smacking his ass." Sef laughed. "Any of these boys he with hit you Lee?"

"You'll smell him as soon as we step in front of him." She said making me laugh.

"Yerrrdddd?" Zeph yelled making all their attention go to us as I looked to see Sef recording.

"Niggas done bought Mitch back out, why y'all hate y'all lives like this?" Sef laughed.

"You could take Dashiki out the hood but you can't take the hood out of Dashiki." Royal said making all of us laugh.

"My son's, how y'all been?" Izzy's mother spoke hugging Royal, Sef, and Zeph.

"We been good ma, let me talk to Izzy and his friend real quick," Zeph said looking directly at Izzy and she sighed.

"Zeph, you know you're family but I am not allowing you to put your hands on him. Izzy is like your little brother, I have told Jace and Izzy this and now I'm telling you."

"I understand that ma but not only has he been sending threats, but he also put his hands on my girlfriend and little sister. I'm not trying to disrespect you at all ma but he not going to stop."

"Zephyr-"

"Ma, let us just fight, we'll get our thirty seconds then drop the beef." Izzy said handing her Ava.

"I'm not watching this fight." She shook her head visibly upset. "If y'all want to fight over stupid shit then do it without me present, I'll be eating."

It was Izzy, Quinn, Izzy's sister Nisha and another friend of Izzy named Ant. I looked at Izzy seeing him look directly at me and I chuckled.

He was shaking in his boots.

"So wassup?" Nisha asked looking between Zeph, Izzy, and me.

"Mind your business and if you don't watch how I punch ya ass in ya head for thinking too much!" Lee said as I laughed.

"Girl you not-"

"This not the same Nisha who chased us around trying to stab us 'cause she couldn't beat us, right?" Sin asked making me laugh because she unlocked a memory.

"She deflee did!" I yelled laughing. "She used to say we jumped her!"

"I'm confused though wasn't Sef suppose to take you out? You gon take my nigga right? Ain't that's what you said? He right here, have em."

"Nish, you told em I wanted to fuck with you?" Sef asked tilting his head. "You know you my little sister man."

"Y'all talking too much," Zeph mumbled.

I saw Zeph shift and he raised his hand and smacked the shit out of Izzy. Izzy stumbled back falling as Zeph looked down at him.

"You talked all that shit and thought I was gonna let you walk past me? Fuck you mean? Stand up!" Zeph balled both his fist up still looking down at him. "You pussy! You can't be no damn kin to my brothers with yo bitch ass."

"Alright, Zephyr." I moved him back some.

"When you see Cailee or Zenobia act like they don't exist cause next time I'm knocking you out. This not ya girl, she mine. Y'all don't exist and never will."

"Yeah, Mitch!" Lee laughed zooming in on Izzy's face.

Izzy stood up handing his chain to Nisha as he swung at Zeph hitting him in his jaw but it didn't even look like he felt it because he started swinging immediately. Izzy was losing and it looked like he was on the verge of losing consciousness.

For some reason, it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. 

"Aight, c'mon." Royalty grabbed Zeph pushing him back as Izzy caught his breath.

"Sooooo I mean while we at it, who touched my girl?" Sef asked looking at both niggas.

"Use ya nose and you gon know which one I'm talking bout baby, I could smell him now." Lee said making me laugh, it never gets old yo.

"To make this quicker, he did." I rolled my eyes pointing at Quinn.

"Aight, I wanna fight and you better fight back since you like bullying females." Sef handed Zeph back his shit.

Sef pulled his pants up and put one foot in front of the other leaning back. Quinn threw a punch and Sef laughed hitting him two times as he dropped.

"You like hitting girls right? Nah, stand back up pussy."

Quinn didn't get up so Sef kicked him in his face as blood started leaking out his nose. "I should beat ya ass again for getting blood on my white shoes."

"Come on." I laughed pulling him. 

Now that was satisfying.

"Wait while we at it, you wanna fight?" Lee asked Nisha. 

"Girl, fighting is an ugly girl sport. Go about your business."

"Yeah, I figured." Lee laughed. "Next time I'm not going to give you the courtesy of asking, Imma just punch your ass in the face."

"Y'all can go enjoy y'all meal now." I waved them off as Sef and Zeph looked at each other knuckles to make sure it was fine.

Deciding I was tired of standing there, I  got in the car with everybody following. Instead of sitting in the front, I got in the back next to Sin and Royal got in the front.

"I'm sorry it wasn't supposed to be like this, I was supposed to introduce you to my boyfriend and we have a good time. Next time we chill, it'll just be the girls." I told Sin.

"It's okay Nobi, calm down." She chuckled. "I had fun, everybody cool as hell."

"It'll be better when we all get along." I laughed.

"Where do you live at?" Zeph asked Sin as she told him directions.

"Thank you, I had fun. Text me Nobi and Lee."

We waited till she got in the house then pulled off as I waited for somebody to say something. I looked at my phone seeing Lee sent me all the videos from today and checked a few notifications.

"Who ya friend? When you become friendly?" Sef asked.

"That's Nobi's best friend," Lee spoke.

"So why I ain't never hear of her?" Zeph asked making me roll my eyes.

"Because we haven't talked in more than a year, I just ran into her at school as I was aggravated and we agreed to catch up."

"Why y'all stop?" Sef asked.

"She moved to Montego Bay and-"

"As in Jamaica?" Royal turned around. "She Jamaican?"

"Yes, once she moved to Jamaica we talked for like four months and then started fading. She graduated down there but she needs her diploma up here so she is in school again."

"I would have been mad as hell knowing I graduated then came back to the states and have to do that year all over."

Getting out once he pulled up to the house, I entered the code to open the door then went to Zeph's room taking everything off except my bra and panties laying down. He walked in then walked right back out then back again.

"Can you come take a nap with me?" I asked looking at him.

"No." He simply said making me purse my lips together.

"Then can you come lay down?"

"No."

"If you gon be mad, why am I here?" I rolled my eyes.

"You ain't say take you home."

"I'll go home then." I scrunched my face up.

I stood back up asking Jah can he give me a Lyft home. He told me it'll be here in four minutes making me get back dressed and walk out of the room going to say bye to everyone.

Sef walked me out to make sure the Lyft man was the Lyft. Once he knew I was good he hugged me and I got in. I was so annoyed I just wanted to take a nap for real.

"Zenobia, that's you?" Becky, my egg donor, asked making me roll my eyes.

"Who else has keys, Becky?" I asked looking at her blankly.

"Is everything okay? You look so sad."

"You care?" I scoffed. "Just leave me alone."

I walked passed her not bothering to say anything else, once my head hit my pillow I immediately went to sleep.

~

"Nobi- Aanvi- Zenobia!" I heard making me suck my teeth.

"What?" I groaned still with my eyes closed.

"That's how you greet ya big brother? I'll just leave since you don't miss me."

I ignored what was said and was about to go back asleep until what he said came to me. My eyes opened and I jumped up seeing him still there with a big ass smile as I jumped on him.

"Amil, I miss you so much!" I yelled still hugging him.

"I miss you too little sis, get dressed we are bout to go eat."

"You love me." I smiled getting down. "Just us two right?"

"Yeah, just us two."

I went to wash my mouth out with mouthwash then changed my uniform shirt to a spaghetti strap tank top with Zeph purple Bape jacket. I walked downstairs going straight to his car while he talked on the phone.

I went to my phone seeing no text from Zeph and I frowned if he wanted to act childish we can. I saw a text from Sef and Royal checking on me to make sure I was good and then I put my phone down.

"So what's been going on?" Amil asked.

"Nothing much, grades been good, I try to stay out of trouble but somehow it always seems to find me, oh and I have a boyfriend."

"You have a boyfriend?" He raised an eyebrow. "Ya mean ass decided to give somebody a chance?"

"He wouldn't let me leave him alone but I really like him so much, I'm glad he didn't give up."

"How has it been with mom?"

"It hasn't, I don't speak to her and when she speaks to me, I ignore her presence." I shrugged.

"That's not healthy on you but I won't preach cause I haven't been through the shit you have and I won't understand."

"Thank you."

I took a picture of me on snap, then an off-guard video of Milly, then another one when I called him and he stuck his middle finger up at the camera.

"This really a reflection of me, y'all see my stink?" I said mushing our faces together.

"Get ya hot ass off me." He laughed putting his arm around my shoulder. "This my twin for real though."

I posted the video putting a lock and key emoji and then putting my phone down. I heard my Instagram notification signaling somebody was typing to me, my heart started beating one I saw it said plum typing.

He stopped typing and called me instead, I sighed before answering. I got out of the car as Milly parked in a pizza parlor parking lot.

"Fuck is that on ya IG?" He said before I could even say hello.

"Hey to you too Zeph, my nap was fine oh yeah I'm getting pizza now." I ignored him.

"I'm bout to come smack ya ass then smack him too." He hung up as I rolled my eyes calling him back.

He didn't answer so I called him again he ignored me making me roll my eyes. I really wasn't going to play with him, calling one last time he answered as I heard a car door slamming.

"Zeph this is my brother, we have the same mom, different dad," I explained quickly.

"He could explain that to me in person."

"Zephyr, I'm really not-" He hung up mid-sentence making me roll my eyes.

"Why are you looking like that?" Milly asked when I sat across from him in the booth.

"Zeph, my boyfriend, think you somebody else so he may pop up."

Laughing, he shook his head leaning back. "I hope he beat ya ass."

"He can't beat me." I shrugged.

We ate our pizza and hot wings while talking about everything under the sun. Amil was older than me by four years making him 21 while I was 17. We found out about each other when I was four and have been inseparable since. He currently lived in Los Angeles as a celebrity stylist, he was living the dream and after I graduate I was supposed to be going with him for the summer.

As soon as I stood up to leave I sat right back down because Zeph heavy-handed ass mushed me. I smiled seeing him but he was mugging me with his sexy mad ass.

"Before you make a scene, I really miss you." I smiled going to hug him but he pushed me back.

"Nah, you calling niggas ya baby and shit like fuck type time you on? I'll really smack you Aanvi."

"This is my brother Zeph." I laughed pulling out my phone to show him our baby pictures. "Your crazy ass really popped up."

"I was dead bout to fuck you up." He chuckled then looked at Milly holding his hand out. "Wasgood brah? I'm Mitch."

"Amil."

"Nobi, lemme talk to you outside for a minute."

"I'll wait for you inna car," Milly said.

Instead of walking out, I just sat down. I ain't feel like standing up, Zeph sat across from me and folded his hands making me raise an eyebrow.

"We done being mad at each other? I miss youuu." I whined going to sit next to him but he moved. "You keep moving away from me."

"Why you kept saving that nigga? I thought you wanted me to beat his ass?"

"I did but it felt weird while it was happening. I was closer to Izzy than anyone so seeing him getting beat up didn't make me as happy as I thought it would. Plus, you were bugging trying to fight him at my school, you have to be smarter than that."

"Understandable but I was mad, I didn't wanna hear that."

"I know but I don't care about him or that situation anymore. Can I hug you now?"

He opened his arms and I smiled going in them, he laughed holding me tighter. "You coming back with me?"

"No, my brother came down for me. I can't just leave him."

"Bring him then, Zori, and all them coming. We lit."

"You know he's gay right? Well, bisexual s-"

"So? I have a gay ass, little sister."

"I just don't want to put my brother in an uncomfortable situation, straight boys stay fucking with gay boys."

"I have gay cousins and friends Nobi, he's good."

"Okay, I'll see if he wanna go. I'll meet you back at your house."

"Alright." He tapped my lips and then walked away as I walked to my brother's car.

"Y'all good?"

"Yeah, he invited us over. You wanna go?"

"He invited you or us?"

"Us, I promise you'll have fun and if you don't, we leaving the minute you want to," I spoke honestly.

"Alright, enter his address in."

~

"Bitch you cheating!" Sef yelled.

"No, I'm not bitch draw four!" Roddy teased.

"I got a draw four so fuck out of here." He slammed it down. "Draw eight Nobi!"

"Nah, draw ten Milly." I said

"Make that 12." Milly threw his drew two down.

"Make that 16." Lee laughed.

"18." Zeph laughed.

"20." Roddy pulled a draw two out too.

"Back to square one." Lee looked at Sef as we all laughed.

"And all this could have been avoided if you would have just drawn four." I laughed. 

"Fuck y'all and this game!" Sef threw his cards down and walked away from the table making us laugh harder.

"Y'all favorite sister here!" Mazori yelled walking in with food in her hand.

"Zori!" We all yelled making her laugh.

"Y'all high? Without me? Bastards." She scoffed. "I should just turn back around."

"You know we got the weed on deck." Roddy pulled a bag out making her smirk.

"Lemme see ya phone Plum." I stated sitting on Zeph's lap as he rolled up. He lifted up a little so I can dig in his pocket, and in doing so I went on Instagram going live.

"Roddy, can you go open the door for Sin?" I asked. "And I'm live guys."

"Why ya lazy ass can't?"

"Because I wanna stay on my man, his lap gon get cold." I pouted making everybody laugh.

"Issa Santa Clause." Royal said making us laugh.

"Hey Greg, Free and Andrew." I read the names seeing they joined our live. "Babe ya live lit, you got 60 views already."

"That's cause I got hos." He said making me look at him, he looked up and chuckled. "You know you are my only one."

"Say it for the people in the back!" Lee yelled making me laugh.

"Naughty Redd has joined, wassup?" I laughed. "LoveAmour has joined, Aleaaa has joined, PostMalone has joined."

"El oh el." Zeph said being petty.

"I don't fuck with nobody on this live." I laughed. "All dubs."

"Stop starting," Zeph mumbled licking the blunt.

"You gon lick me like that?" I smirked making him look at me.

"Nah, I'mma make love to ya lips." He smirked. "And I'm talking bout the ones everybody can't see."

"You being nasty on live? Talk dirty daddy." I smirked.

"Everybody saw those lips." I read the comment. "Malone, bitch bye. Not entertaining you."

"Oh no this is my shit!" Sincere said turning the music up.

"A give me some good love, somebody rocking knockin the boots!" We all yelled in sync.

"I remember when Zeph use to eat my pussy, he gon get somewhere in life." I read the comment making Zeph suck his teeth.

"I could count on one hand how many times I ate ya shit, stop what you doing."

"Who all these females? Alea and Malone the ones that goes to our school?" Sin asked as I tilted the phone to see the comments.

"Yeah, the Diddy bops."

"You just mad Izzy fuck with Lea, don't you got somebody? Move on and stop trying to ruin their relationship." Sincere read Malone's comment.

Laughing loudly I leaned back on Zeph making him drop the weed out the new blunt he was about to roll. "Come on baby damn, get off me."

"Wait I'mma respond back to you in a minute Malone. Zeph, who are you talking to?"

"If I say you, you gon do something bout it? If not it won't matter." He shrugged.

"Finish rolling up first." I laughed. "Now girl, you talking bout hitting Izzy up when his lurking ass always commenting on something."

"I don't know why you don't got him blocked anyway."

"You never told me I had to block him."

"I gotta tell you to block a nigga that comment on everything and y'all use to fuck around?"

"You really wanna go there Zeph? Really?" I raised an eyebrow. "Ms.Nikki baby on live right now claiming you use to please her orally and you talking? Honestly?"

"Waitttttt." Lee laughed.

"You ain't just call that woman Ms.Nikki." Sef added as they leaned on each other laughing.

"And I still look better and doing better." I read the comment laughing.

"Then why are you always on her dick? Starting to think you got a crush on her dead ass." Lee said.

"You bitches can't even spell surgery." Sin said as we all started rolling.

"Ayoooo! I fucks with her." Roddy said.

"DoitlooklikeIhadsurgery?" Royal asked and I was still laughing.

"Aight, chill y'all clowning," I said calming down.

"All y'all in there dick eating, shit on y'all mind too heavy. She looks better than every female in that room." Lee read the comment.

"Who LoveAmour?" Milly asked.

"Our sister," Royal said. "Mor, mind ya business."

"This why you got hit the last time, learn to shut up," Mazori said inhaling.

"Her dumb ass needs to shut up. Why ya IG name Love Amour? That's Love Love dumb ass." Lee said making me laugh.

"This why y'all mad?" I asked licking Zeph's face and then turning his head so I could stick my tongue in his mouth kissing him passionately.

"Let me suck ya dick," I whispered in Zeph's ear as he started coughing on the blunt. He stood up still coughing making me laugh at his dramatic ass.

"Nigga you good?" Sef asked looking at him.

"Hit the blunt too hard." He said still coughing and then looking at me.

As we were passing the blunt back and forth, we joked on live ignoring the negative comments and enjoying our little kickback. Once we were done the four blunts my eyes were low and I was horny as fudge.

Zeph was in the kitchen cooking with no shirt on making me even hornier. I walked over to him making sure everybody was still playing the game. He watched me walk to him as he stirred the taco meat.

"You look so good." I hugged him from behind kissing his back.

"And you gorgeous." He smiled.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, why you ask that?

"Just asking," I said slipping my hands in his sweats as he grabbed my arm.

"Aanvi."

"What?" I asked innocently guiding my hand up and down his shaft.

"With everybody here? Your big brother? Seriously?"

"Still not seeing ya point."

"Zeph has a room for a reason, go in there and be nasty. Y'all by my fucking food." Sef yelled making everybody look at us.

"I gotta charge my phone, Zeph come help me find the charger." I said walking away as everybody laughed.

"Smooth sis, smooth," Lee said making me wink at her.

I walked into the room with Zeph following, I locked the door after him. I went to our playlist on his iPad as the first song came on which happened to be In Those Jeans by Ginuwine making us both laugh. I turned it up and then took off my pants and panties as Zeph stood there not sure what to do.

"Dummy lay down," I spoke pushing him back, I took off his sweats and laughed. "You never got on no damn boxers."

"Cause my girlfriend nasty as fuck, I never know when I need to just slide in her."

"Smart man," I smirked licking his shaft all over.

I made it wet enough then slid it in my mouth starting to bob my head up and down. I sucked my cheeks together while licking it at the same time. Reaching up I started playing with his balls as I heard him grunt, I smirked in satisfaction going faster. I looked into his eyes and at that moment he nutted in my mouth. Deciding to swallow, I continued sucking until he got back hard. I got on top of him putting my hands on his chest.

I stood on my feet and squatted down bouncing up and down as he gripped my ass. I threw my head back in satisfaction biting my lip, he grabbed my neck making me lean down and kiss him. Putting his tongue in my mouth he caught me off guard flipping us around as he pounded in and out of me.

That lasted for almost five minutes until I felt him nut in me, he pulled out as we both looked down. I stood up slowly going to pee as he wiped himself.

"You nutted in me." I sighed.

"I know, I thought about the consequences and I was aight with it. I think I'm responsible enough for a baby, I got enough money, time, and patience."

"Zeph!" I smacked his back.

"You on birth control and I'll buy a plan b if you want, calm down." He laughed pulling my arm and wrapping his arms around me.

"Plan b has too many side effects, I think birth control could handle this one." I laughed.

"Mhm." He nodded kissing me then my neck and cheek.

"Stooop!" I whined pushing him.

"You know you bout to be in my life forever after you just took my soul like that." He said as I brushed my teeth.

"You annoying," I mumbled.

"I even kissed ya ass right after you swallowed my kids, I gotta love you. I ain't never kiss any damn body after they gave me head, yeah I love ya ass."

"I gotta love ya black ass too cause I've never wanted to give someone head before, nobody."

"So we just gon act like we not telling each other we love each other?"

"Guess so." I shrugged leaving out the bathroom. "Get dressed and pass me my panties."

After we got dressed, he walked out before me as I saw a call coming from Izzy. I furrowed my eyes in confusion then declined only for him to call back. I answered waiting for him to say something.

"Aanvi?" He said lowly.

"What you want?"

"I'm a fucked up ass person, this not me Aanvi. I never meant to hurt you, I hate myself for making you cry over me. You my best friend and I fucked allat over cause you weren't feeling me back. I just really love you and I did some bitch shit."

"You really hurt my feelings. Let's not even talk about the fight because that wasn't our first fight, I didn't care about that but to make a joke about shit you saw me go through firsthand? That actually killed me Iziah."

Just as I finished my sentence Zeph walked in raising an eyebrow, I looked away and waited for Izzy to say bye so I could hang up.

"Ain't nothing else to say but I apologize, I moved like a bitch. I'm used to you playing niggas and you come to laugh with me about them, I guess I just never expected you to actually get a nigga. No excuses, I was grimy and I can't think of no way to make it up to you."

"I don't think you can," I said with my eyes watering. "I can't even think of you like the same right now."

"That doesn't mean that's forever Nobi, I love you and we ain't got to be together or have benefits. I just want to know we could get back to how we were one day, or even better."

I didn't say anything as I hung up slickly wiping the tears that slipped out.

I don't care what anyone says, breaking up with your best friend has to be the hardest thing in life.

"You need a hug, baby?" Zeph asked making me nod as he wrapped his arms around me tightly." 

"I can't believe I'm crying over this, I'm too thugalicious for this."

He laughed. "Come get ya tacos though before they high asses do."

"I'll kill them." I wiped my tears hurrying to the kitchen.

"Nobi!" All their high asses yelled making me laugh.

"They aggravating." Zeph walked behind me.

"Mitch!" They yelled making me laugh again.

"Put on ya red dress and slip on ya high heels and some of that sweet perfume, it sure smells good on you." Zeph wrapped his arms around my waist from behind singing to me rocking us side to side. "Tonight will be a special night, no matter go. I'm so proud to be with you."

I smiled throwing my head back singing along lowly not trying to take his shine. He leaned down so he could put his head in the crook of his neck. He turned me around and grabbed my hand as I laughed.

"Y'all really so cute," Lee said making us forget we were even in front of them.

"Y'all annoying." I blushed going to make my taco.

"I wanna go to this party." Lee said showing me the flyer.

"This tomorrow? We can go." I said after swallowing.

"I wanna wear them jeans that are cut in the back with-"

"No." Sef and Zeph said in unison.

"Ooh sis you can wear that and I'll wear them shorts that are ripped." I ignored them.

"Ooh bitch we gon be fine as fuck." Lee hyped ass yelled slapping my hand. "What you wearing Sin?"

"Shit cause y'all not going." Zeph looked at me.

"I got this dress with a crossover in the front."

"Oh my God, gang pop out!" I twerked sticking my tongue out.

Zeph gently slapped me in my face making me jump on him putting him in a headlock. He stood up as I was on his back and flipped me over slamming me on the couch. I kicked him in his chest and jumped back on him but he held my hands over head holding me down.

"You done?" He asked as I was out of breath.

"Yeah, let me go pussy."

"Nah, you gonna hit me."

"I promise I'm not."

He let me go and I sat down checking my phone then looking at them as they were on their phones too.

"Zeph said he loves me y'all." I smiled getting their attention.

"So?" Roddy asked.

"You want a cookie?" Sef asked.

"Awww." Sin and Lee smiled.

"Y'all annoy me." Mazori and Milly said.

"He told Redd he loved her too." Royal said as everybody laughed but me.

"hE toLd rEed hE loVed hEr toO." I mocked him scrunching my face up making them laugh harder.

"I haven't laughed like this in a minute yo, y'all are seriously hilarious," Milly said still laughing.

"No, they are so stupid." I rolled my eyes still feeling salty.

"It's okay, fuck them, baby."

"Fuck you too." I moved his arm from around me.

I hate them.
