Lauren sat on the couch running her hands through her ponytail as Zeeke sat on the far end watching a movie.

"Zeeke can I go-"

"Nope." He responded before she could even ask anything.

She sighed and let her friends know that she couldn't go to the party with them and just sat there. Today was the day Zeeke had to watch over the house and keep her safe, and he was giving her the cold shoulder as he been for the last week.

Her brothers and dad was out on a business trade, and in order to do anything she had to go through Zeeke. He was usually the push over and now he was being harder than her brothers were lately, to her it was as if Keven and Anthony loosened up while Rico and Zeeke cracked down. Him nor Rico, barely talked to her and kept her in the house when it was their days.

"Know what, I'm grown. I'm going anyway." She mumbled and stood up.

"Leave this house Lauren and see what happen." Zeeke looked at her before looking away.

"Are you seriously going to keep giving me the cold shoulder?" She asked folding her arms and stepping in front of him blocking the TV.

"Since when they make you out of glass? Getcho ass on Lauren." He leaned over and ignored her. "Go take off my fucking sweater too, probably wore that shit to that nigga house." He chuckled and stood up feeling himself getting pissed all over.

"Is that why you're acting like this?" Her voice softened a little. "I said I was sorry."

"Sorry?" Zeeke scoffed. " How would you feel if I lie to you and cut our day short to go get some pussy?" He folded his arms looking down at her. Lauren avoided his eye contact and put her head down feeling bad all over again. "Exactly that shit hurt me and I refuse to deal with a ain't shit ass bitc- female love." He shook his head. "Not again." He tried to walk around her but she grabbed his hand.

"Zeeke just wait." She looked up at him. "I'm just dealing with a heartbreak and I don't want to use you as a rebound but I do like you, I really do but I'll just need some time. I know that I can be the girl for you, but it wouldn't be fair to you if I pursue you right now." She told him honestly.

He looked down at her for a moment. "Don't waste my time peanut" she smiled at his nickname he always had for her.

"Im not, I just need time. The heartbreak is still fresh, let's just take things slow?" She tucked her bottom lip into her mouth, staring up at him.

"I hear you." He held his arms open for her to hug him, which she happily did. "Now where you was trying to go? I'm trying to get out the house." He asked her still holding her.
