i got my keys out from my bag and unlocked the door to my apartment. it was nice to be back
'heyy' jada shouts from the kitchen
i put my bags down and made my way into the kitchen
'you're actually cooking for once' i laughed
'how was your trip' she asked
'it was good' i replied 'don't remember half of it'
'you have a nice time with fred' she smirked
'nothing happened' i laughed
'it didn't look that way' she said
'we're friends it'll never be anything more'
'good' jada replied 'don't think he's good for you'
'why' i questioned
'he's just not a good influence'
'you sound like rhys' i laughed
'you're speaking to him again?' her eyebrows raised
'fuck no' i said 'i drunk called him the other night and we spoke'
'you dumb bitch' she laughed 'what did he say'
'i barely remember' i replied
'you spoke to him since?' she asked
'nah i don't want anything to do with him'
'i'm over him now' i sighed
'are you' she said
'i'm trying' i laughed
'where's dave' i asked changing the subject
'studio, he's gunna come over later' jada replied 'he's got some festival on friday'
'where' i questioned
'wireless maybe' she shrugged
'yeah cees there too'
'he's always just busy now tho' jada sighed 'barely even makes time for me'
'did he stay here when i was gone' i asked
'yeah' she said 'sometimes wouldn't get back till like 1am and then would be gone again at 9'
'really' i furrowed my eyebrows
'mhm' she replied 'makes me wonder what he's doing and who with'
'he wouldn't cheat on you jade' i said 'he's not like that'
'you can see how much he loves you' i continued 'he wouldn't dare'
'i hope you're right' she replied
