know it,” Pierre said.
    “I see you are really falling for him,” Ava said.
    “If he keeps playing his cards like this , I just may fall for him,” Pierre said. Ava sucked her teeth in return but she knew why Pierre was so scared to give his heart away. The last guy he fell in love with was ashamed to show his love for Pierre to the world. Pierre couldn’t fathom the truth of someone he loved being content with keeping him in the crack of their closet.
    “Why you suck your teeth, you know how I feel about falling for someone so hard,” Pierre said in return.
    “I know Pierre but dang give the man a chance, don’t hold a wall up forever. Live life to the fullest. Give him a chance. Do it so you won’t look back on life and wonder what if.”
    Pierre gave what Ava said some thought . “I guess you’re right. I’m working my way up to loving again but I can say Kevin makes me happy and comfortable.”
    “Well that’s good,” Ava said placing her hand on Pierre’s shoulder.
    “So back to this whole you and Promise thing, what are you going to do?”
    “Right now I’m just going to give her some more space until she’s ready for me to come back. I was hoping I could stay here a little bit longer if that’s okay with you.”
    “Girl you know I’m not tripping about you staying here. You are family, besides someone has to stay around and keep Jaidyn’s mind off of her problems since I’m always over at Kevin’s house now.”
    “What’s going on with her?” Ava asked.
    “Men problems. that’s all I’m going to say,” Pierre said. He was usually the type to join into some juicy gossip, but Jaidyn had a special place in his heart. He didn’t want to spread her business around, what stayed between them was their business.
    “Oh,” Ava said not really interested in that category of Jaidyn’s life.
    “Well if you don’t mind I’m about to catch up on my beauty’s rest for tonight. I got to be looking fresh to the left and fine as champagne just so Kevin can know if he ever left me it would be a major loss in his life,” Pierre said being his silly self but somewhat serious. Ava laughed and shook her head, knowing Pierre could be too much at times.
    “Alright get you some rest and thank you for talking to me,” Ava said.
    “Girl, no problem. I’m always here for you,” Pierre said as he pulled Ava in for a tight hug.
    Once Pierre was out of the room Ava laid there on the couch plotting on how she could make Jaidyn hers. If Promise didn’t want her anymore, Ava was fine with that. It was on to the next…

       I came into the apartment that night to find the TV on and all the lights out. As I closed the front door, I noticed a body lying on the couch. I walked slowly over to the couch thinking it was Pierre laying there but when I got close I realized it was Ava. Damn that girl knows how to make herself feel welcome I thought to myself. I placed my belongings on the glass table behind the couch and walked around to plop down on the little space that Ava wasn’t taking up. She jumped up suddenly looking around. I couldn’t help but to laugh at her. When she finally realized it was me, she sighed a sigh of relief and held her heart.
    “ Jaidyn you don’t understand how quickly your life was about to be over waking me up like that,” she said causing me to laugh even harder.
    “Oh girl , whatever, if I was really a stranger breaking in you would’ve been dead right away, sleeping all comfortable,” I replied as I demonstrated her sleeping so comfortably. She chuckled in return and said, “Fuck you,” in a playful way. I laughed and hit her with a pillow.
    “Girl I’m just joking with
