Is it just me or does it seem like Keith is more into Ryan than she's into him?? He's all 😁 and she's just like 🙃idk maybe she's one of the girls that likes to keep everything private...who knows, but I just knew she was dating Quincy

April

I rushed to my front door as someone repeatedly rung the bell. Exhaling, I pulled it open and there stood my dumb older brother with a bag in his hand and a bunch of flowers in the other.

I stood in the doorway to block him from coming in. "How May I help you?"

He laughed. "Damn that's how you feel?"

"Yup. What do you want?"

"Man April let me in, I'm not about to stand in this door way and talk to you."

Rolling my eyes, I stepped back so that he can walk inside.

"The house is coming along really good." He said while going into the family room and sitting down. "Here, I bought all your favorite snacks and I brought you some flowers." A stupid smile peeled across his face.

"So this is supposed to make me forgive you for being a sneaky as hell and going behind my back to see my ex and on top of that offer him my damn building."

"I'm just trying to help out the both of y'all. He's always talked about owning his own shop and you need to get rid of the building, instead of you having to go through a million people you can just let him take over."

"Why didn't you talk to me before you made this decision though. He's not somebody I want to deal with like that."

"Look April I know you hate him for what he did but you gotta put that to the side. What he did was fucked up but you've been through worse."

"I don't hate him. It's just fucked up because I thought he was different. He told me he'd never do me like Q did. He went to LA ended up spending time with his ex, I guess had some type of epiphany comes back and tells everybody I'm this horrible girlfriend to justify what he did. And the whole time I'm sitting around thinking we're fine."

"And he was wrong and he knows he was wrong April. You need to talk him."

"There's nothing to say. He's where he wants to be, there's not anything for us to discuss. I'm sorry that I couldn't be the girlfriend that he needed. I know my insecurities played a factor in our relationship too. I hope Brittany is making him happy."

Chris sat back on the couch while rubbing his head. "I think y'all should talk man. It wouldn't hurt, it'll probably make shit better for you. You'll be able to finally tell him how you feel about everything."

"I've accepted what happened between me and Keith. I think it all resulted from us moving too fast. We didn't get to know each other before we jumped into a relationship and I didn't really let those wounds from my past heal and that's that."

"But you can't deny that he made you happy."

"We has our good days and we had our bad ones but in his eyes the bad outweighed the good." I shrugged. "There's nothing I can do about that. If he wants my building, he can do the rent to own thing until he gets on his feet. Our relationship is strictly business now and I'm okay with that."

"Its crazy sitting here seeing you try to convince yourself of all the shit you just said. But I'll drop it, I can't make you do something you don't want to do. Keith is a good dude, he just made a fucked up decision."
