As she went downstairs, Kiyan was walking in taking off his coat.

“You had the door open already?” Kiyan asked.

“No, when you called I opened it. But then I had to run upstairs to put on socks.” Brielle lied.

“Look at you.” Kiyan smiled at her Giants clothing.

“Giants fan until I die.”

“Yeah iight until they play the Eagles. Then we are going to crack y’all asses.” Kiyan joked.

“Yeah alright. We’ll see who’ll be going to the super bowl this year.” Brielle said walking over to the couch.

“So are we watching movies or what?” Brielle asked.

“Yeah, I didn’t bring any though.” Kiyan said.

“It’s cool. I just got new copies of ATL and Love & Basketball. I’ll even be nice enough to let you choose which one comes first.” Brielle snuggled against him.

“Oh boy man, put in ATL first then.”

Brielle jumped up and put the movie in and then cuddled on the couch with her boyfriend and her Giants blanket. She loved when they stayed in, it gave them the opportunity to get to know each other better on different levels.

“I told your ass you weren’t my type. You thought I was playing?" -Kiyan

The crew decided to meet up with each other at Friday’s. They still hadn’t made a move towards Kris. Cam thought that if they decided to let Kris walk around normal, he would think that no one was on to him. Then when he felt like they had forgotten what he did to Brielle, then they would make him pay for his mistakes. It was the best way to catch your enemy slipping.

“Wassup with you and Bri?” Zo asked.

“We are doing good man. Couple weeks strong. No problems.” Kiy said.

“Is she still living at your crib?” Ty asked.

“Nawh, like a week later she basically cried to go home and I definitely wasn’t gone force her to stay.”

“The hell she rushing out your house for?” Zo asked.

“Because this fool ain’t hitting it right, obviously,” Cam made everyone at the table laugh.

“You bugging. Even though she doesn’t live with me doesn’t mean she doesn’t come to my house. Trust and believe I keep her satisfied.” Kiyan said schooling his boys on his relationship.

“How are you and Sha?” Kiyan asked.

“We are good yo. She definitely runs our house. She even dress me sometimes, can you see?”

“Yeah you can. How are your birthday party plans going?” Kiy asked.

“Man listen, she hasn’t told me nothing about that party. A couple months back I told her she could have creative control over the party.”

“Damn, what you do that for,” Ty laughed.

“Trying to get Kiy and Bri together, I made a dumb ass promise,” Zo started.

“Don’t blame that shit on me,” Kiy laughed.

“So for all you know you can be having a circus themed party,” teased Ty.

“Yeah iight. Shorty wouldn’t do that to me,” Zo laughed with Kiy and Ty.

“No, you hope!” Kiy pointed out.

“I trust her. It should be hot. You know it’s only a couple days away.”

“I know my nigga. We each get the bill at the end of the night.”

“Happy Birthday to Zo!” They all cracked a smiled.

“Yeah you know it.”

“I actually can’t wait for the party. You know this my first birthday in 24 years that I ever let somebody throw me a party,” Zo reminded his boys.

“Don’t I know it. That’s why it wasn’t a problem when we volunteered to pay for it because you don’t ever ask for shit.” Cam blurted out walking into the booth.

“Word. Good looking out on that. You know I could of paid for it tho.” Zo said.

“I know but you don’t have to. We brothers and we got you.” Ty stated.

“Sayless.” Zo smiled.

“Iight let me get out of here before I have to hear this girl mouth.” Kiy laughed.

“Word. Call me when you touch down.” Zo said.

“Sayless. Food is on me,” Kiyan said throwing money on the table
