"Alixa Dalila Ortiz!" I said immediately after I heard the door close.

"How, why... I...I just tell me what the hell just happen." I asked...more so pleaded to her for answers.

"Okay Moe, get comfy and let's talk."
She says leading me to the couch.

"Well, it's all pretty simple."

"How simple?" I ask.

"Well, you know that guy I've been seeing for some time now?"

"You mean Tory?"

"Ugh, I thought we promise to never say his name." She says annoyed by his mention.

"Oops sorry "

Tory was Ali's ex-boyfriend. He is this douche bag who almost gave Ali an S.T.D. Gladly they broke up almost a year ago.

"Well anyway I met Keith the day I redecorated our old apartment," she said smiling.

"Redecorated..more like destroyed," I said.

"It wasn't that bad" she responded.

"It wasn't that bad! Ali cat the guy had to move because he could not pay for the damages." I laugh

"I just scattered a few things around," she said laughing a little.

"Please, you were full on tornado."

"Yeah well he got what he deserved," she said satisfied.

"Sure did, so about Keith and his annoying brother," I said reminding her.

"Well, I've been seeing Keith for about three months now. " She said with a proud smile.

"THREE MONTHS AGO!" I say laughing.

"Yes three months ago." She said.

From what I see. He seems to make her really happy.

"Is it serious?" I ask.

"I don't know, I just like being with him," Ali said as she looked at the floor.

"Awwwww Ali cat. You're blushing!" I squealed.

"Shut up." She says still blushing.

"So that's pretty much it." She continues

"So when were you going to tell me that they were coming out with us?" I asked.

"Oh. Right. They're coming out with us." She said.

I glare at her. Really?

"Well....I'm hungry, you hungry?" She says trying to change the subject.

She heads to the kitchen with me right on her tail. I watch as she looks for food in the fridge.

"Dammit, don't you have any junk food? No one actually likes fruits and vegetables this much."She says annoyed by my food taste.

"Ugh, here" I groan as I pass her some Doritos from the pantry.

"My savior! "

"Me or the chips, " I asked sarcastically

I grab some pineapples from the fridge and go to town.

Feeling eyes on me I break my gaze from the fruit?

"What?"

"Nothing, I'm just sure James will appreciate you eating those pineapples?" She says smirking.

I nearly choke on a pineapple cube.

"Why would you say that," I say nervously.

"Oh please, I saw how you were eye fucking him."

"I was not." I lie

"Mhm, well I showed him a picture of you a couple of days ago. He thinks you're hot."

I don't respond not knowing what to say.

"Y'all would be cute, stubborn as hell but cute. "

"Night moe." She says walking to bed.

"Night." Is all I can say as Ali leaves me alone with my thoughts and my pineapples.
