She waited a while to answer me but she glanced up at me after I held my eyes on her longer. I knew she felt my stare.

She opened the bag and started putting stuff in it that she had laying around my room which wasn't much because she's neat. If she was a messy chick, I wouldn't be able to stand her living with me.

"I'm getting all of my stuff; I'm leaving." She swung her hair to one side and struggled to close her suit case.

I nodded. "You need help?"

She kissed her teeth. "Cam, cut it out."

I raised an eyebrow. "Wait? It's Monday."

"I know. I just got the call and they shipped my mattress early. I can finally get out of your life."

"What?"

She chuckled. "I won't talk to you, bother you, ask you for a cup of sugar when I wake up one random day and decide to bake a cake, shit I won't even look at you. But don't sit here and act like you're trying to help me when you're really trying to rush me out."

I looked at her like she was crazy. "Why are you so mad all of the sudden? You was cool a few minutes ago. You was cool at the doctors."

She chuckled darkly. "Right, after you hurt my feelings in the car, and then in the doctors office? You think I'm disrespectful? I would never show my ass in front of your doctor or your parents!" She shouted lowly.

"Kyra, I ain't mean to hurt yo feelings. Why you whining about it?"

She bit her lip and shook her head as she closed her bag. "Oh my god Cam, just stop talking to me."

I tried to stand up but she held her hand out to stop me. "Stop trying to walk without your crutches." She spat. "If you fall on this damn floor I'm not picking you up."

"Kyra..."

She grabbed her phone charger off the table and headed for the door. "Bye Cameron."

She gave me that same fake smile and waved before walking out. I groaned and fell back against my bed.

Fuck just happened?

The door bell rang and I jogged to answer it. "Hey," She leaned in and kissed my cheek.. I moved over to let her walk in and she scanned over my living room.

"Holy shit." She said looking around the room. I nodded and let a sigh escape my lips.

"It's game day. By the end of tomorrow I want my house to be finished and your going to help meeee." I sang.

"Kyra." She whined.

"Kaylen." I countered.

"Fine, but alone? Girl, I'm not much bigger than you!"

The doorbell sounded again and she raised an eyebrow as I jogged to get it. I had asked Devin and Tj to come help.

"Hey beautiful." Devin leaned down and pulled me into a hug. His skinny ass was so cute to me. He had these green/brown eyes and I always had a thing for every other color eyes but mine.

"Hey.." I moved over to let him walk, Tj right behind. I greeted him and closed the door. They noticed Kaylen and Tj smirked like the little flirt he is.

Kaylen was a flirt too. A sarcastic one. She could make you think she was into you when she really wasn't. It usually got her free drinks when she goes out.

"This is Kaylen. Kay this is Tj and Devin." She smiled and waved.

"You got a lot of shit now." Tj said scanning the living room.

I nodded. "It all came this week."

I had moved what I could and a lot was finished. I had worn my self out trying to get this done. I was tired of looking at these brown cardboard boxes that were scattered on the floor in every room.

"Where do we start?" Devin asked.

"You sir can follow me. Tj, Kaylen will boss you around." I said laughing as I earned a dirty look from her.

I showed Devin to my room down the hall and I opened the door letting him enter before me. He smiled as he scanned my painted walls and the pictures I hung strategically against them, before looking at my bed.

"You got your mattress? Oh shit." He said jumping on my freshly made bed. My bed was huge and I had put a lot of pillows on it for decoration. They were a lot to throw off the bed at night but they were very cute.

"Really?" I said giggling.

"Have you jumped on it yet?" I shook my head no and he turned his face up. "No? Aww hell naw." He said standing up.

"Get up here."

He helped me onto my bed and we started jumping. He was making funny faces and I couldn't stop laughing. I was wondering if Devin's head would hit the ceiling because of how tall he was but he never did. I bet he does this at home on a regular basis.

I finally got tired and plopped down on my now messy bed. Devin laid down next to me and rested his hands on his stomach. He looked over and me and smiled. My smile slowly loosened and his eyes fell to my lips.

Devin is conservative and I love that because I'm not accustomed to quiet people. He's really calm and that's what probably makes him and Cam get along so successfully.

"Let's get to work." I said hopping up and leaning against the wall. He slowly got up and rubbed his hands over his face before trying to somewhat repair my messed bed.

"I'll fix it later." I said laughing. He nodded. "What you need me to do lil one?"

"Move that couch to the window, and that dresser where the couch was."

"Thank you, thank you!" I said kissing all over Devin's face. He scrunched up his face but was smiling the entire time which told me he didn't mind.

"We always got you Ky. Just call.... Shit call me when you lonely too." He mumbled coyly wrapping his arms around me. I let out a small chuckle.

"Slick, huh? You going with the more laid back approach."

He shrugged with a smile. "What can I say ma? You got it." He looked me up and down and my teeth sunk into my bottom lip softly.

He leaned down and gently pecked my neck. "I'mma head out. I'll text you though." I smiled and nodded.

"Bye, Tj!" I said kissing his cheek.

He grabbed my ass and I smacked him up upside the head. "Watch your hands and get out."

He chuckled and hugged Kaylen. repeating the same action before dipping out after Devin. Of course she didn't care. Kaylen is a freak low key.

I sat on the couch and rested my head against the back closing my eyes. "He likes yoooou!" Kaylen sang.

I reopened my eyes and looked over at her. She had a knowing smile on her face and she kept repeating herself.

"Who?" I questioned, raising one of my eyebrows.

"Devin, who else? He was all over that ass. Would you ever? He's fine as hell."

I smiled. "Maybe," I chuckled." You know I've been single a long time."

"What happened with you and Shad anyway?"

"He deserved more than I could give him."I mumbled.

Rashad was a guy I dated two years ago, the summer before college. At the time, I cut Trey off sexually to be with him. He was everything, a gentlemen, kind, smart and sweet.

We never had actual sex but oral was down packed. He was down for it so I didn't worry too much about it.

I was still living with my father and he wasn't fond of Rashad. I never knew what he didn't like about him. He was always nice to my father.

We couldn't last. He was going to UCLA and I was staying in Virginia. We tried the long distance thing but we eventually decided to go our own ways.

I'd rather him be free and come back then to cheat because I'm not close enough. I have never gotten my heart broken and I don't plan on it.

"He loved you Kyra... You should have fought for him."

I shrugged. "He's long gone now." She sighed.

"How's Uncle Charles?"

"He's a pain in the damn ass." She laughed. "Seriously, my mom says its old age but the nigga is forty. Come on." I laughed.

"Hows Uncle, Michael?"

I rolled my eyes. "No comment."

"Why do you make yourself so miserable around him."

"I don't. I just think he's fake."

She furrowed her eyebrows. "It's that what it's really about?"

I gave a her confused expression. I bet I looked really crazy but I didn't understand why she didn't believe me. Ever since I was young, I haven't liked my dad. He never tried to form a relationship with me. He bought me shit.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

She shrugged. "I just don't think that's why you're mad. If I said what I'm really thinking, you would go off on me." She mumbled.

Kaylen knew how I was, she knew this subject was touchy and she was tiptoeing around what she wanted to voice. She didn't want me to go off on her but I wanted to know what she thought.

"Say it. I won't get mad; I promise."

She sighed. "I think you hate him because you've never met your mother."

"Yo, wassup nigga."

I turned my face up in confusion. "What y'all doing here?" I asked moving over to let them in.

Devin fell on the couch and smiled as Tj leaned on the wall. I sat on the couch and waited for an answer. I didn't mind that they were here but I didn't invite them over.

"We was down the hall at Kyra's." Tj answered. I looked between the two of them and frowned. "What for?"

"She needed help moving shit around in her apartment. You know I ain't turn down an opportunity to see her, she's fine as hell." Devin hyped.

"You see her often?"

I debated on telling them that she had been here damn near a week but I didn't want them to perceive the wrong idea. Me and Kyra hadn't did anything more than sleep in the same bed. My parents were here.

"Yeah, she been sleeping here. Well she was a couple weeks ago till her bed came."

Both of their eyes bulged out. "Word? You hit that?" Tj questioned.

Devin looked at me and it sparked something in me. He liked her. He liked her a lot and even if I didn't want Kyra, Devin aint deserve her. Devin played girls and Kyra aint deserve that as annoying as she is.

"Nah.." I mumbled earning a smirk from Devin and I spoke again before I thought it out. "We kissed though."

He smirk instantly fell and I regretted my lie. I don't even know why I lied but I wasn't gonna take it back and look like a complete idiot. I did feel bad though, Devin is like my bestfriend.

"I thought you hated her bro?" Devin asked raising an eyebrow.

"She kissed me. My parents were here so she had to sleep in my room and shit started." Devin chuckled

It wasn't a complete lie.

"I guess you that nigga then." He stood up along with Tj and they dapped me up. "We finna head out."

"We got that game on Saturday. You know you gotta be suited up on bench. You should invite Kyra. Y'all kissing and shit." Tj chuckled before leaving.

I sat back in my couch and sighed trying to think of a way to get out of this shit. Something in me just wouldn't allow myself to sit back and watch him go after her.

"Tj is cute." Kaylen mumbled. "He asked me out. I don't know if I wanna go though."

I glanced up at her and smiled. I knew that would happen. Call me a match maker but I just had a gut feeling that they would get along.

"Really? You should go. How can you resist that sexy ass smile?" I wagged my eyebrows and she gave me a stale face.

"I guess." She mumbled. "His smile is cute." She blushed and I jumped on her lap. "Lil Kay-Kay has a crush." She bursted out laughing.

"Let's go get some candy and pig out in front of Set It Off." She nodded. "And when we get back, you're calling Tj."

"What's his government name?" She asked as I slid my feet into my crocs. I shrugged. "Ask him."

I closed my door and we headed down the long hallway and into the elevator.

I unlocked my car and she hopped in the passenger seat before, I put the car in gear and pulled out.

"Where you staying Kay?"

"Down in Gainsville with my papa. He's asking about you." I nodded. "I'll come over one day."

I walked down the snack aisle searching for some sour patch kids. Those have always been my favorite candy. I love sour food and spicy food. Opposites seem to attract in my case.

"I found them!" Kaylen shouted. "And I want some ice cream."

I figured I might as well get food for the house while I was here but I wasn't sure how much money my dad put on my card or if he cut me off after the last time we talked. Every time he calls, I get angry and I hate that. Our relationship should be better than that.

"Yeah, I don't know." Kaylen giggled into the phone. "Will you come if Kyra does?" Tj asked.

"Hold on." She put her phone on mute before she looked over at me with pleading eyes. "Please Ky?"

I nodded just to shut her up as she took her phone off mute and said yes. "I want court side seats too punk ass!"

He laughed in the receiver. "I got you mini me." I rolled my eyes and fell back against my bed, popping a piece of candy in my mouth in the process.

"Okay, bye Tj." She ended the call and looked down at me. "Thank you."

I nodded and sat up. "The guys go out to this club called Oasis after games sometimes and they want us to come."

"Oh hell no." She kissed her teeth. "Kyra, we never go out anymore."

"That's because you moved down here!" She chuckled. "True and now that we are reunited. Come out with me."

"I'm going to be alone." I muttered bitterly.

"Devin will be there." She pointed out to me. "Flirt a little, give him a lap dance. Return that sexy ass neck kiss he gave you." I blushed.

"Fine, but I'm not riding with you."

"Why not?!" I narrowed my eyes at her. "Cause you're going to leave with him."

"I promise I'm not. I met him today. Come on Kyra give me some credit."

"You're going to be talking either talking too or chilling with him all week. Maybe both."

"Fine." She mumbled.

I've never been to a basketball game. So I didn't know if this would be fun for me. I was only going for her and her only.
