Malik is your best friend, he’s been in love with you since college. You guys are now in your mid twenties and you’re at his house crying to him about your now ex-boyfriend and how shitty he was. Malik’s crush on you was never a secret, he made it known, you just thought it was a joke.

“That’s why I tell you every time, you’re better with me, Ma.” He lifted your chin up and wiped your tears.

“I’d never break your heart like that.” He continued.
