Tuesday | March 26th

It was an early and sunny Tuesday morning and BG had found himself up and ready to begin his day. He was in a better mood and ready to seize the day. The first thing he'd done was rolled himself a backwood to prepare himself for whatever was to come. He sat up straight against the wooden fragile headboard, he had claimed for a long while now. Soon though, this place would only be a memory of his long journey.

In the midst of rolling he had decided to call Megan to see if she was awake. It was about eleven o'clock now, so he hoped she was up. Benji hated what he'd done last night. He wasn't sure exactly what had got into him, but he wanted to make up for it today. The day was still young, but today was his off day so his plans were to relax and tend to himself for once. So, it was what he'd do. A million thoughts clouded his mind, but after last night he pushed them all away.

"GoodMorning BG. I'm assuming you got yourself together from last night?" Megan said sarcastically.

"You funny. I'm good. You busy tho?" He dismissed the situation from last night regarding his name slip. There was no room in his mind to dwell on it. It had been made clear to him last night that she'd went on with her life, so his plan was to do the same too.

"For you, never." Megan responded with a smile on her face, as if he could see her. Megan was sitting at the center of her bed, now fantasizing about what he would do to her when they were together. All of that pressure and anger he always had, made for the best sex and Megan loved every single minute of it too.

"Aight, I'm gone slide in bout an hour. I got a lot of pent up pressure for ya, so be ready." He told her, it was just what she liked to hear too. A big smile then spread over her face as she thought about him more.

"Okay. Make sure you got both yo heads on straight this time before you come love." Megan joked again with him. He shook his head with a smirk, as he just ended the call in her face. With the thoughts of Meg on his mind, he finished rolling up and headed right for the bathroom to freshen up before he went over.

Once in the bathroom, he grabbed at his toothbrush, then proceeded to brush his teeth. It there was some Benji looked at in a female, it was her teeth and feet for some reason. A bitch with yellow teeth and ugly feet was an automatic turn off for him. Benji smiled back at himself in the mirror once he was done then headed to shower. He stood directly under the warm water as his mind began to wander around again.

As much as he didn't want to think about the whole situation or her, it seemed to be all that he could get into his mind. If he was being honesty with himself, it felt like he and Layton were broken up. The crazy part about that was, there were never together. Benji had a hard time expressing his feelings to anyone. It was like he'd lost his best friend, which Layton was to him. There was just a strange feeling when he got to see her with another dude, confusing too. Despite that though, he wasn't gonna trip out over shit that's out of his control. The unacknowledged feelings he had made it hard, but it was what it was for him.

With a clouded mind Benji had spent a good twenty minutes inside the shower before he bathed and got out. Megan was lined up for him this morning, so it was best he prepared his mind before he went to see her again. His mind had prevented him from having a good time at the expense of Layton before, but not again and that was for damn sure this time around.
