Forever and a Day

chapter 21

“I'm not stressing it. It's over. I'm better than that.” -Chloe

Shanice walked into her and Alonzo's house and she instantly began to miss her girls. She hadn't heard from none of them in close to two weeks and that wasn't normal.

She grabbed her phone and sent out a group text that said: "I don't care what the hell you got planned tonight, but you better cancel it because we are going out." As she walked around the house to find and tell Alonzo she was there, she bumped into Kiyan, Cameron, and Tyrese in the kitchen making a mess and laughing.

"Damn shame, y'all asses always in this kitchen," she laughed as the crew jump at her voice.

"Yo ma, you can't be doing shit like that," Cameron said getting up to hug her,.

"Yeah right, what was you going to do?" she asked.

"Keep sneaking up on a nigga and you will find out," he joked.

"Wassup lil sis, you good?" Kiyan and Tyrese hugged her and asked.

"You know the shit," she laughed.

"Hey babe, wassup?" Alonzo said kissing her.

"Hey you. I came in here to say wassup and to let you know I'm canceling tonight." she said.

"What you mean you canceling tonight? Where the hell you think you going?"

"It's girls night out and I'm out of here," Sha replied.

"Well I hope girls night out don't include Danielle because her ass not going." Cameron said seriously.

"Yes she is, watch you get a phone call within 5 minutes," she laughed.

"Yeah iight," Cameron said as his boys laughed. They knew the girls were thick as thieves so if Shanice said that Danielle was going to cancel, then that was exactly what was going to happen. Three minutes into the small talk with the boys, Cam's phone rung.

"Told ya," Shanice laughed as she walked out the kitchen.

"Yo," Cam answered.

"Eww nigga, you don't answer your phone like that." Danielle seriously said.

"Man whatever, wassup?"

"Well I was calling to tell ya ass that I'm going out with the girls so I wasn't coming over. Now I'm happy I'm not coming over because somebody has an attitude."

"I already knew the shit, Sha was just in my face telling me about your little plans."

"Oh iight, well bye. I'll talk to you when you fix your damn attitude," she said hanging up.

"Fellas I'm out, I gotta go find Danielle stubborn ass before I f*ck her up." Cam joked and got up to leave.

"Yeah man I'm out too, I dropped Brielle off at the hair salon & I have to pick her ass up," Kiyan added.

"I gotta go anyway, I need to pick up my shorty and then we going home," Tyrese chimed in.

"Iight man, let me go see where this girl at. If she think she going out before giving me some and cooking, she got another thing coming," Alonzo joked.

"Word, I feel you man," Kiyan laughed as they walked through Alonzo's front door.

"Girl, Cam is a fool. He really don't take your shit," Brielle laughed as Danielle was telling them what happened earlier with Cam.

"Girl yes, this fool showed up at the gym going crazy. Everybody was looking all scared. The funniest part is this nigga was like I'm only gone say this shit one time and you better listen. I was scared after that. Y'all know my mouth but I was like damn he might drag my ass out this damn gym," Danielle said still laughing at Cam crazy ass.

"I knew Cam was going to go crazy, definitely when I told him your ass was going out," Shanice said.

"Girl you know Cameron ass is crazy, I don't even know why you be trying him," Chloe added.

"It adds spice to their relationship. If she says yes all the time, he will expect her to do everything he says. Shit let Hakeem ask me some shit I always say no.” Sabriya laughed.

“I know. But that’s a good thing. I would hate to be with somebody who I tell what to do and his ass jumps. That gets boring. Cam is crazy as hell, but he’s my crazy ass boyfriend.” Danielle smiled.

“WOW,” Brielle said.

“Wow what?” Danielle asked.

“Who would of thought, stubborn ass Danielle would be head over heels over a nigga. Every time you say his name you glow." Brielle smiled.

"Whatever, don't worry about what I do. What's going on with y'all and y'all relationships," Danielle joked and asked.

"Me & Hakeem doing good. Can't even complain this time," Sabriya joked.

"Yeah, Alonzo and I are doing better than I ever expected. Between planning his party and living together, I'm always with his ass." Shanice added.

"Well, y'all know I’ve been dating Kris for a while, he been cool since the whole aggravating me thing, but I'm still not letting my guard down too much. Besides how much I been working and hanging with Kiy, I haven't really had any time to entertain his nonsense." Brielle said.

"Speaking of Kiyan, how is he and have you met his new girlfriend?" Chloe asked.

"Samara? New Girlfriend?" Brielle replied.

“No, I know you met Samara. I’m talking about some new girl.”

“Kiyan doesn't have a new girlfriend,” Brielle said confidently.

"Oh, I seen him at the mall with a girl like 4 days ago, I just thought he had a new girl by now." Chloe said.

"Kiyan is good and I don't know anything about a new girl, he hasn't said anything about a girlfriend so I'm not sweating it. But what is up with you & Tyrese? How have y'all been?" Brielle said changing the subject.

"There is no Tyrese & I. I haven't spoken to him in a couple of weeks. I texted him, called him, and he just hasn't answered me so I counted it as a lost. I haven’t even seen him since before Shanice’s birthday dinner since he didn’t come. We made plans to go out after that but he never called. Now thinking about it every time we made plans to go out, he would have to cancel because something important came up," Chloe sighed.

"Oh wow, why didn't you say anything?" Danielle asked.

"Because like I said I just counted it as a lost. I am not trying to chase no nigga that don't want to be caught. I mean I wanted to have a relationship with him, but not enough to keep chasing him around, " Chloe responded.

"It's crazy because when I was in the house with them earlier, I could of sworn I heard Tyrese saying something about going to get his shorty and going home. I thought his ass was talking about you," Shanice frowned.

"Nope. He wasn't talking about me, so now y'all have the answer. He has a new girl, that's why he doesn't answer my texts," Chloe said getting mad inside.

"That's messed up, I would of never thought Tyrese would be the type to do that. I think he owes you an explanation," Brielle added

"Yeah, he has to come better than that. He can't be trying to get with you one day & then the next be living happy with some bitch," Danielle added, the drinks they were having was kicking in.

"It doesn't matter y'all, I'm not stressing it. It's over. I'm better than that. Tyrese has been extra secretive lately, " she added.

"Well I still say, you need to go over there and get some damn answers and find out some of those secrets," Sabriya said and all the other girls agreed.

Chloe wanted the conversation to be over. She would never let her girls know that she really was hurt behind Tyrese starting something with her and then ending it to be with somebody else. She thought he was better than that, but obviously he wasn't. She didn't know if it was the drinks that she consumed tonight at Dave & Busters, but she felt like going over to Tyrese house to see why he thought she was the one to try to play.

Brielle was in deep thought as well, she knew Kiyan better not have another girlfriend. Last time she checked he was still with Samara. If he did have another one, then when did he find time to be with her since he was always either out with her or in the studio with his boys. Shit, he spent the night last night at her house. She knew this would be another test on their friendship, but she was definitely going to ask him about this mystery girl Chloe seen him with. She didn’t know why she was mad they were only friends.
