"I love you," Layton mumbled aloud.

Benji sucked his teeth. "You gotta go." He said quick, taking a time out in the game so that he could look her way. Layton had made a habit of springing things over him, out of the blue. She had hit him up last night, and pulled up on him in a trench coat. The night was good, they had sex, it was just good vibes between them for once in a while. They'd agreed to keep feelings away.

"Benji, seriously?" She laughed, finding it amusing.

"Yup, dead ass. We said we wasn't doing all that extra shit Layton. We chilling and you come with that shit. I can't play games wit' you right now." Benji joked with her, then turned his focus back towards the game. Jace had scored two points, just because he was distracted.

"I know, but I can't help it. How can you expect me to just have sex with you and not feel how I feel about it afterwards?" She questioned, with a deep sigh. "All of this isn't easy. Nigga I love you, shit I just thought yo' ass should know." Layton continued as she laid in bed next to him. As a woman that didn't hide her feeling, it took a lot for her to suppress them while around him.

"No feelings attached, remember?" He reminded her a millionth time since she'd come over the night before. Layton had been laying it on thick with him. It wasn't that he didn't want her too, it was just that he couldn't reciprocate that same energy until he was sure of what he wanted. The sex was one thing, but the I love you's was a bit much for him. Despite it being true, BG just wasn't in position of filling her head with those things just yet, it was still early days for them in his books.

"Benji, just because you keep saying that this is all no feelings attached, doesn't make it true. My feelings all in and the way you fucked me last night.. that wasn't a no feelings attached kinda fucking." Layton expressed aloud, which only showed her hand to him even more.

BG laughed, while shrugging his shoulders "Man shit, I was just being a gentleman and giving you what you came over here for." He told her in all honesty. A little arrangement between the two of them had been made, meaning that if one of them wanted sex.. the other had to be willing to give in and indulge. It was apart of the friends that fuck terms and conditions. Layton loved it the most, while BG wasn't so sure it was the best idea.

Layton's lips turned up in a grin. "Aw, well that was a very sweet thing to do. See, all feelings attached. That is why I love you so much, you're so sweet." She said to him, obviously being sarcastic with her words. That had been Layton lately, being sarcastic. It was her way of avoiding deep conversations that would only end in her being in her feelings.. more than she already was.

"Man, fuck outta here cause now you trollin' me." He said, brushing her off as he focused his attention back onto the 60 inch television screen where he played 2K against his brother for five hundred dollars. "Oh, what you got planned for this weekend?" BG continued.
