stay here,” Cam stated.
“I’ll just go to a hotel,” Brielle offered.
“No, you can stay at my house until this all blow over. No need to argue with me,” Kiyan demanded.
“Fine, if I don’t have a choice,” Brielle rolled her eyes.
“Iight man, she needs to call and report this. Then we’re heading out. I’m going to call you and the fellas after I get her settled in,” Kiy said to Cam.
“Sayless,” Cam said. “Oh yeah Bri, where Danielle shoes at? She has been bitching about them all day.”
“Right here,” Brielle smiled and gave Cam the shoes in her hand.
“Stay out of trouble lil sis, and Kiy hit me later,” Cam said walking towards the front door.
“Iight man,” Kiyan said.
“So you might as well call and report this so we can leave,” Kiyan said to Brielle. “I’ll be waiting outside.”
Chapter 25
“Promise that no matter what you will always love me and we’ll always be friends before anything.” - Brielle
Kiyan stood in his bedroom getting ready to meet up with his boys. He knew Kris wasn’t to be trusted, he just wished Brielle didn’t get so close to him. He was prepared to do whatever it took to make sure Kris would no longer be a threat to Brielle ever again. She wasn’t his girl, but at the end of the day she was his friend and he always protected what was his. Kiyan grabbed his watch and cell phone when Brielle knocked on the door.
“Wassup,” Kiyan said to Brielle.
“Hey Kiy. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me stay here. I promise I’ll be gone by tomorrow.”
“You’re good. Just like I was always welcomed at your house no matter what, your welcome at mine. It’s extra rooms, so just choose one and it’s yours. Since you’re not going back to your crib until I figure out what the hell is wrong with this nigga Kris.”
“I don’t want to be a burden.”
“Never that.”
“I’m about to leave for a few but I’ll be back later.”
“Kiy, I don’t want you to be in nothing because of me.”
“What you talking about?”
“I heard you tell Cam earlier that y’all were going to handle the Kris situation tonight.”
“You don’t know what you talking about.”
“Yeah okay Kiyan, don’t pretend like I don’t know about your past. Don’t try to play me when you know I know what you were talking about.”
“Bri chill man. I told you I’m not gone get into trouble. Trust me.”
“I trust you, but I know you as well. I know what you’re capable of.”
“You think you know everything about me?” Kiyan asked.
Brielle looked at Kiyan and she was convinced that what Kiyan said last night was true. She did have feelings for him but her fear of relationships made her not want to react to them. She knew that Kiyan probably could be the man he said he was. He could be the man that she has always wanted. The man that she could live forever with.
“I didn’t say that I knew everything about you but I know about your wants. You want to hurt Kris for trying to hurt me.”
“Why do you think I care so much about someone hurting you?”
“I think you care because I think you love me.”
“I love all of my friends, no questions asked.”
“I know that but I think you love me differently than you love your other friends,” Bri said walking closer to Kiyan.
“Look Brielle stop it. You know how I feel about you and you don’t feel the same way so don’t lead me on,” Kiyan stepped back.
“Did I ever tell you I didn’t feel the same way?”
“You said it last night,” Kiyan reminded her.
“No last night I said I would get back to you at a later date because I didn’t know what I wanted,” Brielle corrected.
“So what are you trying to say? You know what you want?”
“I think I know what I want clearer than I did last night?”
“Stop playing games Brielle, tell me what you want or don’t say anything at all.”
“So now I’m Brielle?”
“Not right now. Don’t start your shit. I need answers.”
“I want to be with you Kiyan, but.”
“There’s no buts, either you want to or not. There is no in between.”
“What if I’m really not relationship material? What if we don’t work out, what will happen to our friendship,” Brielle looked down.
“We’ll always be friends. And this will only fail if you want it to. Look Bri, I can’t promise you a perfect relationship because I’m not perfect and neither
