Raegan *turns on camera*: Talk.

Braxton: Man... don't be listening to what I'm saying. This private.

Raegan: So what you want me to do? 🙄Leave the room?

Braxton: Yeah.

Raegan *gets up to leave room*: Mcht, hurry up then.

Braxton: You got me feeling like an idiot, Nadine. I can't remember the last time a girl made my chest tight, made me trip on my words, made me excited to see her, got me daydreaming bout her. Every second I crave you. I feen for you. I want you. I need you. And that shit makes me scared because... because I hate depending on people. I feel weak. I've done some fucked up shit to run from that weakness, to run from you. In ways I feel like I've had a chance to stop and breathe. To do corny ass shit witchu that makes me happy. To think about putting babies in you and having lil juniors running around. No matter how happy I am wit you, it'll always be in the back of my head that something bad is coming. Something bad is always coming. I'm going hard behind you, Nadine. No matter what we face, I got you.

Raegan *enters room with Zyaire, sits down, faces camera*: My brother always makes smart decisions. I've never questioned him or his motives, until you. Until I was riding around with Zy in the backseat and you sitting right next to me, quiet as a mouse and shaking in your boots. I misjudged you so much, Nadine. You ain't who I thought you was. I'm so glad that I gave you a chance, that Braxton brought you into our lives. You changed him for the better, and I'm seeing my brother smile and laugh more than I have in years. His hard ass ain't ever been this happy. The way his eyes light up when he talks about you, or when he asks for advice on what to say to you--

Braxton *grabs camera*: Okay don't put me out there like that lil bro. 😐

Raegan: Whatchu doing? Put the damn camera down so I can finish!

Braxton *bucks at her and sets camera back down*

Raegan: Anyway... He's really trying, Nay. And I know you are, too. I love you boo, and welcome to the family. 😘

Braxton: Welcome to the family? 🤨 You acting like I'm finna marry her. 😵‍💫

Raegan: Shut up nigga, you sprung as hell. Might as well start planning the wedding.

Zyaire: Mommy cuss!

Raegan: Yup she did, and you better not repeat none a dat shit, Zyaire. 🤫

Braxton: Zy?

Zyaire: Yes, unc?

Braxton: Say 'fuck you, mommy'

Raegan: BRAXTON!

Lorena: You saved my life. I probably wouldn't be here talking to this camera, recording this shit right now if you wasn't there when everything went down. I woulda died, truthfully. I owe you my whole ass life, not even sugarcoating shit. You's a solid ass friend, Nadine. And I swear to God I'd do anything for you. You my dawg, and I got you through whatever. And I miss you so much! You never come around now that you with Braxton all the damn time.

Darius: Oh shit, you mad?

Lorena: Nah, you do too much.

Darius: You miss Nadine... or you miss Braxton? Which one?👀

Lorena *smacks his arm*: Finna be the second one if you don't shut up.

Darius *chuckling mischievously*: Nah, he don't compare to me.

Lorena: You confident, huh?

Darius: Yup. Cause the way I had you shaking and crying after I was up in them guts--

Lorena *grabs camera, pointing it at the ground*: Stop the motherfucking music!

Darius: Alright, alright. I'll quit fuckin' witchu, Lo. Gimme a kiss first, though.

Lorena *shaking her head*: Mm m.

Darius *looking her up and down*: I said, gimme a kiss.

Lorena: No.😒

Darius *whispering in her ear*: I'll have you begging me to keep going, all up in yo shit right here in front of this camera. So I'll say it again: gimme a kiss.

Camera is still facing the ground, kissing sounds follow

Lorena *puts camera back up*: Okay, now do yours so we can go.

Darius: You wanna go so motherfucking bad now huh--😏

Lorena: You finna make me mad boy! 😠

Darius: Okay, okay. Dina, you my best friend, the best one I ever had besides Braxton. And like Lo said, I do miss when you used to come around the trap and see me! That's alright though, cause I know you holding bro down. I just wanna tell you that I'm here for you and I know you gon get through all the shit you goin' through right now. You got a family wit' us and we always gon have you straight.

Lorena: You done?

Darius: I'm done. Now where we bout to eat at?

Nadine *covering her face*: Ugh, bro I'm shy.

Raegan: Y'all niggas are the same forreal, cause why he said the same shit. Come on, just say what you need to.

Nadine *taking a deep breath*: I don't like thinking about how we met. In my head, you saw me at the club and got my Instagram, slid in my DMs, and now we been talking ever since. I don't like thinking about the shit you did, the shit I did, when we first crossed paths. I rather focus on where we are now, and how much I lo--like you. You make me feel special, seen. Haven't felt like that in a long time, not by a man at least. I look in the mirror and it's like I'm falling in love wit myself again, and I think part of that is because of you.

Raegan *fanning her face*: Yooo this finna make me cry dude. 🥺

Nadine: Rae you so dramatic. Anyway *turns back to camera* You so fucking fine, I be seeing you walk through the door and I just melt! 🤤 Like my pussy be feeling that lil heartbeat--😩🦋

Raegan: Okay never mind, you done.

Nadine: And when you got that fresh cut with that beard. *squealing* Braxton, baby I want you to know that this cooch *pats in between her legs* is YOURS. And is. 🤪

Raegan: I'm gonna fuckin' throw up...🤢

Nadine: Also, I miss you. Stop leaving me in that house alone! ☹️ Okay now I'm done.

Raegan *shaking her head*: Lord, this author be putting me through all sorts of shit.

Zyaire: Unc I wuv woo!

Raegan: It's always gon be fuck you for eating the last chicken wing last time I hosted Super Bowl! 🖕🏿I'm still thinking bout that shit and I'm never lettin' it go. Count your days, bitch!

~

Darius: You my nigga. Dassit. 🤝

~

Lorena: I'll always remember you as my first love, B. You truly did show me what love can be like, but also what happens when you rush into things, don't communicate, and are simply just young. You will always have a special place in my heart. I'm just happy for you and Nay; you picked a solid one. Don't fuck wit her though, that's my bitch. 🤗

Lorena *to ColeWoorld*: Um, is he gon see this?👀

ColeWoorld: I don't know yet. You want him to?👀

Lorena: Maybe, I just gotta get this off my chest🥴 *turns back to camera* I wanna tell you this shit so bad, I just don't know when or how. I'm partly waiting on Darius to be ready, too. But me and Darius together. So whenever we decide to tell you that we dating, please don't be mad. It ain't his fault, I'm the one who went after him. He said time and time again that it was wrong, so if you gon get buck wit' someone, let it be me.

ColeWoorld: That's yo speech? 😕

Lorena: Yup.

ColeWoorld: That's ALL you wanna say? You ain't forgetting nothin'?😐

Lorena: Mm m.

ColeWoorld: Alright snitch.

Lorena: Oooh bitch I'd whoop your ass if I could. 🤬

ColeWoorld: Too bad you can't, suckaaa! 😛
