* 1 WEEK LATER*

East & I got up in blissful silence. We made breakfast together and ate it on the couch watching old cartoons.

East: So what's goin on with August?

Jace: Why you never ask about Chris?

I ask in a snarky tone.

East: Cause Chris is Deleon problem not mine. You ma lady I'm worried about you.

I roll my eyes.

Jace: Nothin is going on.

East sighs.

East: Out of respect for me it needs to be zero communication Jay. If he call block. If he pop up leave. You understand? I trust you I don't trust him.

Jace: It's years of history there it's not that eas-

East: And get rid of the ring.

Jace: Fine I'll give it back.

East: Good I'll go with you.

I grunt frustrated.

Jace: East!

East: If you think I'm letting you give that ring back alone you crazy. Or we can pawn it?

He smiles at me taking a sip of juice.

Jace: It's not that deep.

East: He was the first nigga to slide in between yo legs it is that deep.

Jace: You jealous ?

East: Yep (he winks at me)

Jace: Fine. You need to fire Joie.

East: Already done.

I look up at him shocked.

East: Yea you see how simple men are?

I roll my eyes.

Jace: Well..you need to keep that hosting shit to a minimum hire somebody for that. It's dangerous. Hoes gon be hoes but letting Joie call you over so she can put her pussy in your face is unacceptable.

He nods.

East: You right.

Jace: I just miss you. I miss how we was back in the cabin. I miss how lowkey we were...since we been back I feel like we on the front page of hood gossip everytime. I'm scared for you- for us

East: I'm listening. I hear you.

He looks at me sincerely.

East: I wanna know you better..love you better.

I blush.

Jace: And dontchu ever!

I point at him.

Jace: Come to my house drunk and outcho mind again.

East: I feel you but you liked that shit. You ain't gon never admit it to me but my pussy told me otherwise.

Jace: Yo pussy?

East: It's mine aint it ?

My pussy jumped. It didn't matter what he did he made my pussy summersault and I hated it.

Jace: We agreed you wouldn't be breaking in THIS apartment like the last one.

East: That's not breakin in you was right there.

I roll my eyes at his word play.

Silence.

Jace: Would you ever put yo hands on me?
