KEHLANI

I look around the grocery store whilst Fell in Luv- Playboi Carti plays in my airpods. I look at my full grocery trolley before deciding on more things- cinnamon rolls. My usual period cravings.

I walk over to the bakery/ pastries aisle. I look at the empty row but to my luck there's one last packet of my usual 8 cinnamon rolls. I aim to get them but my hand meets another. I turn to her- oh.

Him.

"Kehlani," He smirks as he looks at me. "What a surprise to see you here."

I lower the volume on my airpods to talk to him properly. "You can have it." I take my trolley and walk away from him. I didn't want any interactions with him at all after the beach thing.

"Where are you going? I can't talk to my sister in law?" He chuckles as he stops the trolley with his foot.

"I met you once." I scrunch my face up before trying to walk away again but he doesn't budge.

"Just tell your nigga to hit me up, we got shit to do."

"That isn't my nigga," I retort. Which was half true, since the day he came over he hasn't talked or contacted me. I don't know why he was being distant or why he couldn't tell me he was busy.

"Yeah a'ight." He smirks before walking off. I keep my eyes on him but he's lost within one blink.

I don't dare to go back to the aisle, instead I pay for my things and load them into the car. I look around the parking lot as much as I can but he seems to be gone.

I drive home with no music this time, I don't know why i'm so scared. I find myself looking out my window and mirrors more than I can remember, regardless of the neighbourhood I live in.

I slightly regret not living in the gated community my dad suggested but I loved how modern this house looked.

I grab the groceries from the car and quickly unload them. I decided on going to see Kieron but he requested for no visitors.

Typical.

I think about Rico and what happened today. I don't know if Amir is getting back into whatever he did in his past or why I was getting involved. Maybe it was for the best that we never talk again.

I grab my phone and go to his contact and block him. I block everything else I have him on just to be safe.

I just have to.

I get up and decide to make a half vlog of the rest of my day which is cut extremely short once I hear knocking on my door.

A large part of me hopes it's Amir whilst the other begs that it isn't. I open the door out of excitement but it's lowered once I see who it is.

"Zeke? What are you doing here?" I chuckle as I move out the door way to let him in.

"I was in the area just taking a run and I missed you,  just wanted to come check up on you." He smiles.

"Do you want water or anything?" I ask him but he shakes his head no.

"I'm fine..but how are you?" He asks and I sigh dramatically where which we both laugh in return.

"I feel you, me too." He chuckles. "Hey this might be strange but, you wanna go on a walk with me?" He asks.

"Yeah, fuck it." I shrug and he smiles once more.

"You don't have to change or nothin', just throw on some sneakers." He tells me and I nod before doing just that.

Me and Zeke were best friends during high school and dated freshman year- which barely lasted 4 months. Alongside my brother, he became a athlete so I barely talked to him as much as we did.

Maybe this could be a good way to get Amir off of my mind.

AMIR

I drive past her house, fortunately her car is there and her lights are on. I hope she's okay. I know I got to let her go, everything I do just causes issues. After seeing Curtis like that, I couldn't bear to think what might happen to her.

My phone's ringing by a unknown number, usually I don't pick them up but this time..

I wait atleast 7 seconds for a answer but I don't hear one, I raise my finger to decline the call but a voice starts to emerge.

"You ready?" Rico asks from the phone.

"Rico I already fucking told you, i'm done. Get that shit through your brain." I hover over the decline button once again but i'm interrupted

"I already visited your girl, don't make me have to see her again."

What the fuck?

I take a sharp turn to switch lanes and make my way back to her house.

"You gonna threaten me now, huh Rico?" I raise my voice and find myself speeding.

"You forgot your roots, this is just a reminder." He replies before ending the call.

If he fucking touched her.

After a 25 minute journey which was cut short to 15, I find myself back in front of her house. The lights are off but her car is still out parked.

Fuck.

I have no other way to contact her considering she blocked me on everything at least a hour ago. I call Adora twice but I don't get a answer.

I knock on the door nearly a million times but I decide to stop once I remember the prestige neighbourhood i'm in and that I am a black man.

I jog back to the car and try to call Rico once more but the number has already been removed.

I wait in the car for what seems like at least 40 minutes before I decide to find Rico. I switch on my car.

I look out the window and to my surprise, she's there. With someone else.

Who the fuck is that?

I get out of the car and make sure to slam the door, attracting as much noise as possible. I walk over to Kehlani who now had a mug on her face.

"Kehlani." I call out, a few feet away from her. She turns to me in return and so does the lightskin guy beside her.

"Amir." She says with a hint of attitude in her voice, but I understand.

"Who's this?" I ask, pointing at the nigga next to her. He makes a face but I don't look at him to see it, my eyes stay on her.

"Please just go Amir." She scoffs before continuing to walk away, surprisingly the guy doesn't say anything.

I nod and lean on my car door, eyeing the two as they walk towards her house. He gives her a friendly hug before walking off in the same direction they came in.  She looks at me once more from her porch before opening the door.

I just want to know why the fuck he thinks he can touch my girl so freely.

In front of me.

But i'll be back tomorrow.
