Chapter Sixteen
Omniscient
Tarzana, California - The Next Afternoon

Everybody sat in the kitchen as Mya, Kayla and Syren made a late breakfast. After spending some alone time with each other last night, Chris and Mya went downstairs to join the rest of the crew. They were all up until four in the morning, drinking, smoking and laughing.

Outside an Uber pulled up to Chris's house with Ammika sitting in the back. She had been calling Chris all morning to let him know that she was on the way back but he turned his phone back off. Climbing out the car she grabbed her purse and walked up to the gate, entering the code. Once it slightly opened she slid through and walked up the long driveway.

Inside they all were laughing at a stupid joke Chris told. He was leaning on the counter with Mya in front of him, her back to his chest. His arms secured around his waist tightly. Kayla secretly took pictures. She loved how happy her sister was.

The front door opened, grasping Chris's attention. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked to see who it was. He thought it was Ant since he left last night. But soon, Ammika appeared in the kitchen with a confused look on her face.

"Oh hell no." Syren said.

Mya looked up at Chris, you could see the fear on his face. He wanted so badly to cuss Ammika out.

"Excuse me." Mya said trying to get Chris's arms off of her but he just held her tighter. "Chris seriously let me go."

"For What? Where you about to go?"

"Away from you now get the fuck off me!"

"Man Mya let me explain."

"Don't even waste your breath boo, Kayla or Syren can y'all get me an Uber while I go get my shit. I'm trying to get out of here before I turn this fucking house upside down."

"Girl do it and I'll help." Kayla said. "Chris you corny as hell dawg."

Mya shook her head as she made her way upstairs. Chris followed behind her, calling her name but it was pointless. She didn't want to hear what he was going to say. When they got into his room she slid off her shirt and she grabbed her clothes. Chris grabbed her arm and pulled her over to her. "Mya please wait!"

"No!" She pulled away then pushed him away. "I can't believe you just keep trying to humiliate me like this! Why not just leave me alone after the first time you fucked up.....no, you know what I should've known better. Your track record is public information, I should've known you wouldn't do right! I'm so mad at myself for falling for you out of all people. You're a dog all you know how to do is treat women like shit. Just be honest with yourself Chris, you love that girl. You want to be with her so go be with her and leave me the fuck alone."

"I want you baby, I don't want her she's just here."

"WHY?! She was supposed to leave when we made up two weeks ago but yet that bitch is still here!" Mya yelled getting closer to his face. "You not ready to commit and I'm not about to waste my fucking time waiting on you to get ready. You are 30 years old nigga! When you gone get yo shit together? When you 50?!"

"She's just here, we haven't did shit I'm just letting her stay."

"FOR WHAT CHRIS?! This ain't no fucking hote— you know what.....I need to go. Just like you love to remind me, I'm not yours and your not mine. But whatever you want to call what we were doing is done. No apologies no gifts, nothing is fixing this."
