"bryson we can't," amara frowned sitting up in his bed.

bryson and amara were the epitome of a sneaky link, but in an actual relationship. it was easier for them to sneak since no one would ever expect those two to be together.

since he came around, amara always had a crush on bryson. she never said anything since he was kasani's friend but as she grew older it ate her up on the inside.

he was always around so she heard every time he and kasani would talk about girls. amara felt jealous at every mention of bryson and a girl.

she told him during the miami trip that she liked him and they've been sneaking around ever since.

bryson wanted everyone to know. amara was perfect for him and everything he'd wanted had been in front of him the entire time.

he wasn't scared of anyone else's reaction since he knew they wouldn't care but he really just didn't care. no one would be able to keep him away from her.

"why not? we not blood never considered each other to be and kasani not gone care. we grown as hell mar, i'm not with this sneaking shit but i'm doing it for you."

"i'm scared bry," she sighed and he smacked his lips annoyed with her excuses.

"of what?"

"their reactions, what if they think we're weird? what if they think of us differently after we tell them." she attempted to explained.

"now you just talking," he chuckled "you see the way endya be looking at us? she already fucking know but she ain't saying shit and kasani ass not gone give a fuck amara."

"tell me the truth, you don't wanna be seen with me? we can stop this shit right here cause i'm not about to waste my time." he continued.

"what bryson? you can't be serious right now." she laughed looking at him in disbelief.

"i'm dead fucking serious amara, that's what i'm getting from the way you acting." he snapped.

"i'm sorry baby," she rolled over and straddled him "i do want to be with you."

"well act like it, i'm not hiding anymore. you gotta figure some shit out before it's too late and they find out themselves," he warned planting his hands on her ass rubbing it sensually as she looked down at him smirking.

"you don't even gotta ask come on freak ass girl," he chuckled as they slipped off their bottoms.

..

"you gone tell me why you've been jumping out of your sleep for the past two weeks?" kasani eyed endya as she sat frustrated since she couldn't nap.

"i told you that it's nothing kasani so stop asking."

kasani chuckled, "who the fuck you talking to?"

endya was taken back as she watched him tilt his head to the side. he never really spoke to her like this and usually would let her talk to him any type of way. he was finally putting her in her place instead of letting her run over him.

"there's no one else in this entire house, who the fuck else am i talking to?" she rolled her neck.

he raised his eyebrow as he watched her huff and throw the cover off of her getting out of the bed.

"sit yo ass back down and listen to what the fuck i gotta say. you really be getting out yo body, melian." he spoke calmly.

"we not doing this walking away shit no more, we grown as hell. you walk out that door and i'm done. there's no point of us being together if we not communicating." he continued.

endya grabbed the door knob as kasani's words floated through her mind. 'you walk out that door and i'm done.'

she sighed as she let got of the door knob turning back toward him.

"tell me why you been jumping out yo sleep and don't hold shit back. i'm yo man, endya. we've been talking about settling down and buying a house but we can't do that if our relationship ain't right."

her face was covered in tears as she cried quietly listening to him talk. the quiet cries quickly turned into loud sobs as kasani hugged her tightly with a puzzled expression on his face.

"w-when i turned sixteen, i had a group of f-friends. we went to a p-party and they slipped something in my drink." she began to hyperventilate as she thought back on the traumatic event.

"slow down mama, take your time."

"they lied to me bubba. they lied about their ages and they didn't want to be friends with me. i was their target, they were part of a trafficking ring. they almost had me until my dad and easton showed up, that's why they went to jail for murder and assault. that's why i never had friends and the reason of my diagnosis."

kasani wiped the few strays tears on his face as his thought about his life without endya. he couldn't help but to think about someone coming back for her.

"i got you baby stop crying. you're safe with me. you want to go to counseling? you think that would get your mind off of it? like help with the night terrors?" he suggested.

she shook her head letting out a light laugh at his consideration, "no baby it'll go away. i went through this before it just opened up a fresh wound that i have to let heal."

he sighed pulling her into him, "you wanna start our trip early? get a hotel and some time to ourselves for about two days before everyone comes then we can get to the bnb."

"i love you bubba, i don't know if i say it enough but i do. you're everything i've ever wanted and more and i'm sorry if i don't act like it sometimes. this is hard for me but i've been learning and getting better."

"i love you more mama, i just need you to stop acting crazy," he laughed planting a soft kiss on her lips.

endya smiled looking at her boyfriend. a random thought popped into her head and she wondered if it would help them, "let's get another dog? one that'll get bigger like a german shepherd."

"whatever you want mama," he smiled pulling out his phone "boy or girl."

"boy definitely but let's get him when we come back from houston. we can shop for him and get the house ready."

"imma find one for us," he kissed her lips "i gotta go get the rest of your gifts you staying here or going to yo moms?"

she pouted not wanting to be away from him, "can you shop online? i don't wanna be away from you."

"you so clingy love, i gotta pickup something i can only get in store. i promise i'll pick it up and come right back."

"i feel like you hate me because why i can't live in your skin papa," she whined holding his waist.

"you act like a big ass baby," he picked her up taking her to the bathroom so they could get ready for the day.

..

"so this boyfriend of yours," easton scolded "how long y'all been together."

endya laughed at her brother's attempt to be strict, "since christmas so six months but i've known him for about eight."

"i don't like this at all, you so grown mills. where he at? i need a blunt." he sighed.

easton always called endya milly or mills after her middle name, melian. that was his nickname for her since no one else used it.

"he said he was going shopping for my gifts and didn't want me to go." she explained.

"you think he got a bigger surprise for you?" he raised his eyebrow looking over at her.

"no," endya shook her head dramatically "you're crazy. maybe that'll be my christmas gift and for our one year."

..

"you dead look good as fuck," kasani frowned watching endya as she sat in the passenger seat typing away on her phone. she had just posted on her story the giant bouquet of flowers that he had given her before they got into the car.

they were on their way to their weekly date, a tradition kasani hoped to keep going. he had to keep their relationship exciting, as she did the same, so they wouldn't get bored of each other.

she looked up and him before looking back at her phone and did a double take seeing his face.

"baby why you frowning?" she laughed at his dramatics.

"you look so good i wanna lock you in my basement and never let you out."

her face immediately flattened hearing him say that, "stop before i really start thinking you crazy."

he chuckled gripping her chin and pulling her face over the middle console meeting her halfway. their lips met as they shared a kiss.

"you wanna be with me forever?" kasani asked randomly as his eyes roamed her face. he had been asking her randomly how much she loved him or if she still had interest in their relationship.

"no doubt," she smiled heavily.
