wouldnât be messinâ around witâ all these different hoes. You deserve better,â Kylee said, calming her attitude, hoping to get through to her best friend, but knowing when it came to talking to JaâNay about Quann, it was like talking to a brick wall.
âI deserve to be happy and if beinâ witâ Quann is makinâ me happy then you should be happy for me,â JaâNay said.
âHow can I be happy for you when you messinâ around witâ a nigga who treats you like shit?â Kylee asked, hurt. âDo me a favor and find you a nigga who knows how to treat his woman; then Iâll be happy for you.â
Kylee became furious all over again. She didnât expect her best friend to be as cutthroat as she was when it came to men, but she did at least want her to grow some balls and stand up for herself and not let Quann continuously run over her.
âWell do me a favor, Kylee, you do you and let me do me, okay?â JaâNay stated, fed up with how her best friend always judged the decisions she made when it came to men, especially Quann. Kylee had acted the same way when JaâNay had dated Julio and Darnell, too. It seemed like no matter what, no one was ever good enough for JaâNay in Kyleeâs eyes.
âOkay, I gotâchu. Look, Iâm âbouta get off this phone âcause I canât stomach stupidity so Iâll holla at you later,â Kylee said, hanging up. The last thing Kylee wanted to do was hurt her best friendâs feelings, but she didnât know what else to say or do to try to get through to her. Kylee was tired of JaâNay constantly letting Quann run over her and felt it was time for her best friend to take a stand. Feeling disgusted, she threw her phone on the bed, walked back over to her closet, and continued looking for something to wear.
Chapter Eight
Kylee was listening to Rihannaâs âBirthday Cakeâ as she got ready for her date. JaâNay crossed her mind a time or two, but instead of calling her to apologize for always being so overbearing, she just hoped her best friend knew her intentions were all good. Kylee couldnât understand why JaâNay was so stuck on Quann; she could have her choice of men. JaâNay was gorgeous. She stood five foot five with cocoa brown skin and a shape that made even Kylee envious at times. She had big, pretty, dark brown eyes that always sparkled, and shoulder-length hair that was always intact whether she wore it natural or weaved up; JaâNay never left the house without looking like a five-star chick.
Kylee walked into the adjacent bathroom and turned on the shower, before getting undressed and stepping in. After showering, Kylee rubbed Olive Oil hair pudding in her hair, brushed it down to her head, and watched as it curled up, just the way she liked it. She laid the brush down and headed out of the bathroom and over to her closet. Since Kylee didnât know where Eli was taking her, she decided to put on an all-purpose outfit. She chose a chocolate brown, mustard yellow, and burnt orange block print Monsoon halter sundress, with a pair of tan and gold Chanel flip-flops. Kylee accessorized her outfit with a thin gold necklace, gold bangles, and a pair of gold shoulder-length triangular-shaped earrings.
âGet it, Kylee.â She smiled at the image in the full-length standing floor mirror. She pulled her chocolate brown Michael Kors Colgate leather purse off the shelf before walking over to her bed and taking a seat. She began transferring her belongings from one purse to the other. As she pulled out her contents, Kylee came across a picture that she and JaâNay had taken together on their graduation day. They both looked so happy. Kylee smiled, feeling guilty about how sheâd left things with her best friend earlier. She leaned over, grabbed her cell phone and dialed JaâNayâs number, only to have it go straight to
