Chapter 10

It's 2 days later and Kendra is on her way home after being out for about an hour shopping for groceries. She gets home grabbing the bags out of the car then walks up to the door setting the bags down and grabs her key unlocking the door. She carries the stuff inside over to the counter then walks over to the door closing and locking it. She begins putting away all of the groceries when there's A knock on the door and she walks over opening it.

"What are you doing here?" Ava is standing there with a grin on her face "My man invited me over actually." She walks inside. "Your man? Kieran has been broken up with you, you both aren't together anymore."

"He actually wrote me today telling me to come over so yeah, we're back together and we're both gonna be together for A while so you're gonna be seeing my face A whole lot." She smiles before walking off upstairs.

Kendra scoffs "I can not believe him!" She storms off upstairs after Ava "I guess you forgot this is still my house and I don't want you here so you're gonna have to leave."

"Well my boyfriend lives here with you so technically that means it's his place too right?" Ava stands there crossing her arms. "No, it's my place, I pay all the bills and I bought everything in this house myself, It's my house so go."

Kieran's door opens and he pokes his head out "Oh, you're back."

"Yeah I'm back, You really are a dumbass."

"I didn't do anything wrong, I don't know why you're mad."

"Are you serious right now Kieran? this how you wanna be?"

"Baby come in here and wait for me" He grabs Ava's arm pulling her into his room then closing the door behind her. "Kieran, are you dumb inviting that bitch back into my house?"

"No, remember what you told me A couple of days ago? you don't care if I go back to her so I chose to go back to her, She loves me and I love her"

"Do you really love her? Or are you just doing this to get back at me?"

"Kendra, I'm not the type of person to get back at people and you should know that" He chuckles "That would be stupid trying to get you mad by bringing my ex over."

"So you're telling me the reason you invited her over was that you love and miss her?"

"Do you not want her over here? is someone jealous?" he teases.

"I'm not jealous I just don't like her."

"And why don't you like her?"

"Because -" Before she could finish he cuts her off "Because you're jealous, admit it."

"Fine, she can stay I just don't wanna be around while she's here" Kendra walks off into her room closing the door behind her then starts getting dressed. She calls up Monica while getting dressed and the phone rings for A few then she answers.

"What's up?" Monica answers.

"Girl, I'm coming to see you for A few, Kieran invited Ava over again."

"What is wrong with that dude? does he get turned on by bitches like that?"

"I don't know but I don't wanna be around them at all." Kendra slips on her Ugg's slides "I'll be on my way in A few minutes"

"Okay, See you soon."

"See you soon" Kendra hangs up the phone opening her door and leaves out walking downstairs into the kitchen. She opens the fridge grabbing her A water bottle then gets ready to leave when Kieran comes downstairs.

"Come on, don't leave." He walks over to her. "Why not?"

"I don't want you to go, just stay."

"No, you know how I feel about her"

"So do you want me to tell her to leave?"

"No, I'll just leave." She turns towards the door to open it but he grabs her arm pulling her back.

"No, I'll tell her to leave, Just wait here." He turns away walking off upstairs.

A few seconds later Ava comes storming downstairs "Don't text me any fucking more, I don't even want you calling me, I could do way better than you yet I give you the benefit of the doubt and you still treat me like shit, I fucking hate you!" She storms out the door slamming it behind her.

"Well... that happened." He smiles A little bit.

"She's crazy" Kendra laughs "Now you see why I don't like her."

"I have a question, since you don't think Ava is good for me who do you think is?"

"Uhhh, I don't know."

"Do you think Monica is good for me?"

"Monica? Monica as in my friend Monica?"

"Do you know anymore Monica's?" He laughs.

"No I'm just confused on why you're thinking of Monica, have you two slept together behind my back or something?"

"No, I would never do that to you, I'll ask you first before I ever do anything."

"Well thank you for respecting me" Kendra looks away from him "Well I guess I don't have to leave the house now, I'll go change." She starts walking off upstairs and he follows behind her. "When you're done come chill with me, I'm bored and ain't got nothing else to do."

"Okay." Kendra walks off to her room then begins getting changed. Once she's done getting changed she walks to Kieran's room knocking on the door then walks inside.

"So what did you have in mind?" She walks over to his bed sitting down. "I was gonna roll up if you trying to smoke"

"I'm down." He grabs his weed, papers, and fonto and begins rolling up.

"So I was thinking instead of being in the house bored as hell we should go on vacation somewhere, I wanna plan a trip with A couple of friends and just have A good time."

"As long as Ava isn't there then I'm down."

"She won't be there, I'll make sure."

"Okay then I'm down, Just let me know when and where."

He looks at her and smiles then lights the blunt and begins smoking. He takes A couple of pulls before handing her the blunt and she begins smoking some.

"Can I tell you something?" Kieran asks.

"Sure."

"I don't want you to get weirded out or anything by what I'm saying but I just want you to know when I told you I had feelings for you A couple of days ago I meant it, You're beautiful, you make me happy, I love being around you, you're just a breath of fresh air, I'm not only saying this because I think these are the words you wanna hear, I'm saying it because it's the truth And I really like you." He leans over to her side and begins caressing her cheek "I love you and I hope you know that."

"I love you too and thank you" She smiles as they gaze into each other's eyes for A few seconds. He begins to lean in and she turns her head "Here, I'm gonna go get me some snacks" she hands him back the blunt and stands.

"Okay." She leaves the room walking to her room closing the door behind her. She calls up Monica And it rings for A few when she answers "girl where are you?"

"My bad, I forgot to text you and let you know I've decided to stay at the crib with Kieran, He got rid of Ava and we were just chilling in his room then he started telling me how he likes me and shit and then I guess he leaned in for a kiss"

"did you kiss him?"

"No, I turned my head before he could kiss me and told him I was gonna go get me some snacks"

Monica laughs "Girl what is wrong with you?"

"I don't know, He's literally been the nicest to me and said the sweetest stuff but-"

Monica cuts her off "But what? There shouldn't be A but, he let it be known to you that he has feelings for you so you should just go with the flow before it's too late and he moves on to someone else, you have to let him know how you feel about him."

"That's the thing, I don't know how I feel."

"You do know how you feel you just don't wanna say it out loud, You and Kieran have been best friends for years and you're scared at the fact that you both could ruin a friendship but that would never happen between you both if you both really loved each other like that."

"You're right."

"I know I am, Now stop talking to me and go hang with him, he's gonna come check on you in A few."

"Okay thank you" Kendra smiles "I love you."

"Anytime boo, I love you too, bye"

"Bye" Kendra hangs up the phone then leaves her room walking downstairs into the kitchen and opens the cabinet grabbing her some turtle brownies, some cookies and some donuts then walks back upstairs to Kieran's room walking Inside.

The lights were shut off and Kieran was laying down watching family guy "Oh good, family guy is on" She walks over to his bed setting the snacks down then sits.

"Yeah, I thought you might wanna watch it"

"duh, it's my fav" She holds the snacks out to him and he takes a brownie and begins eating it.

Kendra lays down next to him moving a little bit closer to him and he notices it pulling her closer and wrapping his arms around her body. She leans her head against his chest "thank you for being there for me whenever I needed you, thank you for being a good friend to me."

"Anytime" He kisses her on the forehead then they get back to watching the show, eating snacks, and smoking.
