I took another deep breath and shook my head. Like I had said before, I really wished I could smoke a blunt right now. But those days were over. Being Kyrie’s wife meant I was in the spotlight a whole lot more.
“I don’t know… I’m trying to figure out where the hell I went wrong,” I finally admitted.
“Went wrong where?” Drayla frowned. “Everything good with you and Kyrie?”
“Yeah, we good.”
“Okay, then what?”
“I’m talking about my best friend. I don’t know where I went wrong with that.”
“Man, girl…” She sucked her teeth. “I’m sure it wasn’t nothing you did.”
“I don’t know.” I sighed.
No matter how hard I tried to convince myself she was right, a part of me still felt like I had done something.
“Look, Sianni.” She grabbed both of my hands. “I’m only gone tell you this one time, so pay attention.”
I laughed despite myself.
“Okay, I’m listening.”
“You ain’t do nothing to that girl. Whatever issue she got with you, that’s her issue. That’s her personal problem. It ain't got shit to do with you, so stop beating yourself up over something you can’t control. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yeah,” I nodded.
“Good.” She gave my hand a squeeze before letting it go. “Now tell me something else. What’s really going on with you?”
I frowned.
“What you mean?”
“You got more on your mind than Alexia.”
I let out a long sigh androlled my eyes.
“Girl… I just had to check Kyrie.”
“Lord.” She laughed. “What he do now?”
“He got in his feelings and started catching an attitude. So, I had to remind him real quick.”
Drayla threw her head back laughing.
“Y’all are a whole damn mess.”
“Don’t say that.”
“But it’s true.” She pointed at me. “And don’t even try to act like it ain’t cute.”
I sucked my teeth.
“Whatever.”
“Don’t ‘whatever’ me, girl.” She laughed again. “That vibe y’all got? That shit real as hell.”
I smiled before looking down at my hands.
