Free Honey Flavored Tears by Love N. Joy

would be up at 8 in the morning,” Jaidyn replied.
    “My body is weird, I wake up at different hours all the time it’s crazy.”
    “Yeah I can imagine.”
    “Why are you up so early?” Ava asked.
    “Got to head into work early today,” Jaidyn replied.
    “ Awww damn, I guess I’m gone be chilling by myself today,” Ava said in a disappointing tone.
    “Girl we’ve been hanging since you got here. You’ve been here the whole time since you’ve been back so don’t trip,” Jaidyn said in a playful matter.
    “Yeah I know, I’ve e njoyed y’all’s company just trying to spend a little bit more time with y’all before I head back down to Georgia,” Ava replied lying right through her teeth. She stood there admiring Jaidyn in her pink and lavender scrubs. It was something about her that drove Ava crazy. Maybe it was those honey brown eyes or that beautiful smile. Ava couldn’t place her finger on it, she just knew for a fact that she wanted Jaidyn and whatever she wanted, she was sure to get.
    “Yeah I forgot you are leaving soon, but don’t worry Pierre and I will plan a fun night that you won’t forget before you leave.” Right then and there Pierre walked through the front door of their apartment.
    “Good morning everyone,” he said as he closed the door behind him.
    “Good morning, why are you back home so soon?” Ava and Jaidyn asked in unison.
    “Well damn, since y’all must know so badly they sent me home for the day because it was over staffed in there.
    “Oh, well lucky you ,” Jaidyn said as she grabbed her purse, lunch bag and keys off the counter. “Alright, I’ll see y’all later.” Without giving them a chance to answer she was out the door with the door closing behind her.
    “The bitter sweet hatred of having a job,” Pierre said as he chuckled and walked over to the couch and plopped down on it.
    “Yeah tell me about it,” Ava said as she went and sat on the couch next to Pierre.
    Pierre noticed the content smile on Ava’s face and the glow in her face as well. “Hey Ava when was the last time you talked to Promise?” he asked.
    “Huh?” Ava asked as she snapped out of her daze of the blissful life Jaidyn and she could have together.
    “I asked when was the last time you spoke to Promise, you know, your girlfriend?” Pierre repeated himself sitting up now.
    “Oh, I ’ve talked to her a couple times now,” Ava said nonchalantly.
    “Wow for you two to be so dangerously in love with each other I didn’t expect you to be away from her this long.” Promise and Ava were always joined at the hip. They had an obsession towards one another. Their love was almost dangerous for one another but at the end of it all love was what kept them together. Hearing Pierre say that made Ava sigh deeply and toss her head back and close her eyes. Pierre waited for her to say something because the pregnant pause she was giving, twins could be born within that time frame of silence.
    “I guess things have changed between us,” Ava finally said as her eyes focused up at the ceiling. 
    “Why do you say that?” Pierre asked.
    “We fell in love at such a young age, so fast and so quick. When you move in with someone…that’s when you see them fo r who they really are. I guess Promise and I thought that we were ready to settle down but in reality we really weren’t,” Ava explained.
    “Well maybe you shouldn’t be here right now. You need to be at home working things out with her.”
    “How can I do that when I just received a te xt from her saying she doesn’t want me anymore and thinks it’s best if I stay up here in Michigan?” Ava sighed deeply again.
    At that moment Pierre received a text from Kevin saying he wanted to take him out on a date to Bahama Breeze tonight. A huge smile rushed across Pierre’s face. “Now this man knows how to treat a brother,” Pierre said as he replied back to the message.
    “Let me guess , that’s Kevin,” Ava said smiling now.
    “You
