It's been three months and I was at my mothers place with my mother and Keith making little party favors for Laila's sweet sixteen which was this weekend. The theme She had was a met gala theme so all the guests had to dress like we were attending the met gala. I thought it was cool and different.
"Babe pass me the tape" I heard Keith say as I passed it to him. "Have you heard from Michael? is he coming?" My mother asked me as I just shrugged. "We don't talk" I honestly admitted "He hasn't said anything to me yet, he finished filming I believe" I answered as my mother just looked over at me but I ignored her look.
Honestly I didn't know what was wrong with him when we came back from Jamaica he just stopped dealing with me and I just left it alone. If he wanted to speak to me then he would've spoken to me, I'm not going to keep reaching out to you when you don't even really try to reach out to me. And this time we just didn't speak.
I don't know if I said something to make him do that or not but I'm not reaching out. There were some reports that Lori Harvey and Michael were seeing each other and I honestly believe them because every tine he sees another woman the same thing happens so I'm not surprised by us not talking in the slightest. He was supposed to be showing up for Laila's sweet sixteen and promised Laila but part of me feels he's not coming which was going to let Laila down which the end result was going to piss me off and I was dead ass going to leave Michael alone.
"I was only asking because Laila wants him to go and supposed to be walking her out" my mother said before walking out the kitchen as I just shook my head.
"What's up?" Keith asked looking over at me. "I don't know what Michaels deal is." I started off as Keith looked at me "when's the last time you heard from him?" Keith questioned.
"Three months ago. It's like we all had family fun in Jamaica then he just stops talking to me." I started off "what I keep stressing to him is if I'm your friend, BEST FRIEND like you claim,I should at least hear from you at least once in a while because we're grown and we have things going on but he just stopped talking" I explained.
"I understand he's your best friend but the real question is does he want to deal with you like that anymore?" Keith started off. "You were telling me he did that to you when you were in college except you would hear from him every now and then. And now you just don't hear from him" Keith said as I just nodded.
"I know that shit is going to be hard letting your best friend go but if he's not trying then I don't think you need to try either. If you keep trying all you're going to do is stress yourself out and hurt yourself even more" Keith explained as I nodded. "Yeah but I want an explanation "why?" Like why give me the gift you gave me for my birthday, tell me you're sorry for all of those years then pull this shit ?" I asked as both Keith and I's phones buzzed.
We looked at each other as he picked up his phone "well this could be a reason why" Keith started off as he showed me his phone and I seen a picture of Michael and Lori on Instagram.
"Not to divert the attention from him but they are cute" I admitted making Keith chuckle. "The girls in the comments section are going off" Keith added as we shared a small laugh.
"But yeah that's his reason" I said handing Keith back his phone. "You alright?" He asked as I giggled "Yeah I'm okay, I'm sort of used to dealing with it" I started off then sighed "I just got to move the way people move with me I guess" I said as my phone started vibrating letting me know someone was trying to call me. I looked at it seeing Michael's mother Donna calling me.
I was hesitant to answer it but I didn't want to not answer it because what me and Michael got going on It didn't have anything to do with our family. I answered it getting up from the table and stepping away in the backyard.
"Hello?" I asked "hey what's all of this about Michael having a girlfriend?" She asked "mama I don't know, I don't talk to Michael" I admitted. "What do you mean you don't talk to Michael?" She questioned as I let out a small laugh. "Michael hasn't spoken to me since Jamaica" I admitted. "I'm going to beat that boys butt" She started off as I giggled. "Mama it's fine, I'm okay and if he's doing good I can't complain" I said with a small smile.
"Yeah but you two been friends since you two were children" She brought up. "Yeah but sometimes friends go in different directions and that's perfectly fine. If I'm not tripping then you don't need to be either" I said as she sighed. "This is Steve Harvey's daughter?!" Donna questioned "yes" I answered "Hmm Jamila was telling me some stuff about Lori" Donna started off.
"Yeah but I believe it's not because she's a gold digger I think she just needs to find her other half and it might be Michael besides she's dating around like she should for her age" I explained before she started bringing up all past relationships of Lori's including the whole Diddy's son to Diddy situation. "Okay I'll see you this weekend at the Party" She said as I giggled "okay don't be stressed out I'm sure Lori's a good woman " I assured. "Okay" she said as we said our goodbyes and we hung up. I quickly went back in the house due to it being cold outside.
"Babe" I heard Keith say as I smiled and looked at him "you want some seafood to make you feel better?" He questioned as I just giggled. "We have to finish this though" I started off looking at all the party favors. "We can take it back to my place and finish them" he suggested standing up and coming up to me. "if we do that then nothing is getting done" I said looking up at him as he chuckled holding my waist. "Yeah but we can finish them in the morning" he suggested.
He then placed his face in the crook of my neck "please?" He dragged out as I giggled. "Yeah but I'm not spending the night with you I'm going straight to my house after food" I assured "deal and we'll finish this in the morning" he said in the crook of my neck referring to the Party Favors as I smiled.
He tried to bite my neck but I moved laughing we finally seen Laila standing there "what's wrong?" I asked as she just shook her head. "Nothing I just wanted to know if you'd walk me out for the party this weekend?" She questioned "isn't your father supposed to be walking you out?" She asked as my face softened "Is he still coming?!" I questioned "Yeah he's coming. I was going to have Michael do it but he's not coming" she admitted making me frown. "I just want you to walk me out and mommy told me to ask you" She said.
"Yeah but your father or Micheal should be walking you out, your father because he's your father and Micheal because he offered to do it if your father flaked" I explained pissed. "Yeah but I want you to" She said clearly over the whole thing. I just nodded "I got you" I said as she faintly smiled then waved to Keith before going back upstairs. "She's shy" I said to Keith referring to her little wave making him chuckle. "It's adorable" Keith said making me smile. We got our jackets and headed to my favorite seafood restaurant.
We got seated as Dani was texting me about Michael and Lori along with Twitter dragging Michael for being with Lori. People was so tight but I thought they were cute. Now I was starting to be dragged into shit because supposedly Michael unfollowed me on Instagram and Twitter. Along with people asking why I didn't warn him and people questioning why me and Michael didn't get together.
I wanted to go on live to answer these questions but all it was going to do was make the situation worse and I'm not sure what's going on with Michael but I felt him and I needed to talk not you ignoring me and unfollowing me because after what Laila told me earlier I really have some choice of words for him.
We ordered our food and soon our food came and I was dancing making Keith laugh and record me. I then placed my camera on him "ladies get you a guy who wears a bib" I joked as Keith looked at me and rolled his eyes playfully.
I couldn't help but laugh we then put our phones away and I prayed over the food before we started eating. "I don't want no crab juices on my face or crab meat" Keith warned as I laughed. "That was by an accident" I said as he laughed. "Stop bringing that up, that was embarrassing" I said in a laugh.
"Nah the first time we ate seafood I was happy" he expressed as I giggled "wait why?" I questioned. "Because it showed me how you eat and that you're not going to waste my money." He said as I laughed.
"My money is well spent when it comes to you and some crab legs" he added as I laughed even more then covered my face. "Whatever" I said as he just smiled.
