02x06 - B*tch, What’s the Tea?

Post by bunniefuu »

[dramatic music]

What happened with me and you

could have happened to anybody.

For you to say that it was,
like, no personal energy...

- I don't know you, bro.
- I don't really care.

- I think that's cap, bro.
- I think that's cap.

I've talked sh*t about you, bro.

Rob has been
right there next to me.

So when it came to the Bri sh*t,

bro, what the f*ck?

Like, you defended a n*gga

that we done, like,
kind of talked sh*t about.

You had to get checked, bro.

- Jaylenn!
- Jaylenn, what the f*ck?

[indistinct yelling]

♪ ♪

Hey, Rob!

Why'd y'all call me over?

It feels like y'all
getting to it.

He was saying
that prior to all this,

y'all both felt some type
of way about me or, like,

talked sh*t
behind my back or whatever.

Why is Jay bringing me

into this situation
with him and P'Jae?

I'm on a high right now
from the comedy show,

so I'm not expecting to be
dragged into some more drama.

I don't know, it's kind of
f*cked up at this point.

For me, P'Jae,
I ain't gonna lie,

I feel like, yeah, there
might have been some times

where because I didn't
know you, I was saying

some things that you might not
have been favorable about.

I didn't know you.

Now I've... getting to know you,

those things may not be
the same thing.

- You know?
- I hear you, bro, but look.

Do you feel like y'all
knew me enough

to even speak on me like that?

Like, I wasn't even speaking
on y'all behind y'all back.

Nobody's speaking about
you personally, though, bro.

That's the thing. Like,
I think you're trying to...

- So what would you call it?
- It's old sh*t, bro.

With the whole
Becky and Myami sh*t,

I'm just honestly doing
what a real n*gga does

and clearing the air now, bro.

You think n*gg*s
not talking about you, bro,

because they haven't
said it to your face, n*gga.

- I'm sure...
- I'm telling you, bro.

It goes back to him breaking up
with Becky on the boat

or him always, like,
looking like he, like,

is in a... he's flustered in
an argument with these women.

You doing some lame sh*t.

You feel me?
If it walk like a duck,

quack like a duck, it's a duck.

Like, you being lame,
it's lame, you lame.

Hold that, you feel me?

n*gg*s talking
behind my back or whatever,

I'm not really with that.

I don't get down like that,
you know what I'm saying?

So I'ma let y'all
have this right here, bro.

I'll get at you another time,
but right now,

I'm just not feeling it, bro.

I get that.

So I'll catch y'all later,
brother.

- I get that. I get that.
- A'ight? A'ight.

Oh, that n*gga is lame.

Um, they let me bring it here.

Okay.

What else you need help with?

Nothing, really, honestly.

I don't want you all
in my luggage, I'll be honest.

I have dirty clothes in here.

Well, yeah, I mean,
you got your toothbrush out,

all raw.

[laughter]

Oh, I had to charge it.

- You know it died last night.
- Yeah.

- I had fun last night.
- I know. Me too.

Oh, man. How was the trip
overall, though?

It was really fun.

I feel like I got
some good girl time.

I feel like we had
some time together.

Okay.

Look, I don't want this
to be the end of it, you know?

It's not gonna be.

It's really not.

Like, I really like you, and...

yeah, this was fun.

No, this was a lot of fun,
and I like you too.

But I'm sure you know that.

It's giving
long-distance lover, okay?

After spending time with Petiri
in New York,

I feel really hopeful
that we can make

this long-distance sh*t work.

It just always feels
so good to be in person

and to just really be able
to feel each other's energy.

And it just makes
leaving him so much harder.

[sighs]
Thank you.

Oh, my God.
It's so cold.

- Just a little brick.
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm gonna miss you.
- Gonna miss you too.

- Are you really?
- Mm-hmm.

- Okay. You gonna come see me?
- Only if you come see me.

And we'll figure out
long distance.

Yeah.

'Cause I want to be able
to touch you.

- Yeah, me too.
- Often.

Yeah. Thanks for coming out.

Tell your peoples
I said thank you, too,

and Becky for giving me
some of your time.

I will. I have to make it up
to her, honestly still, but...

- Okay.
- See you.

- I'll miss you.
- I'll miss you so much.

Mm, yup.

- Okay.
- [chuckles]

- I'ma holla at you.
- Get home safe, okay?

- You too.
- Safe flight.

- [laughs] Oh, my...

So you back at it, huh?

- Mm-hmm.
- Just right back to it?

You're not gonna
take a chill pill?

No. After New York,
like, less chill.

While you was out there,
you know,

we was
at the comedy show for Rob.

- And how did that go?
- I didn't get no calls.

Like, he's real professional,
bro.

- He had me rolling.
- Mm-hmm.

So I'm just glad, you know
what I mean, he didn't b*mb.

Yeah, and then me and P'Jae
had a face-to-face.

I don't think that we came to,
like, a agreement.

- You know what I mean?
- Yeah, but that's a trend.

Yes. I was low-key
arguing back with him.

Like, bro,
it was nothing personal.

Kind of just was, like,
a respect thing.

And out of respect,
I told P'Jae, like, "Yeah, bro",

"like, me and Rob have
talked sh*t about you, bro,

"on a surface level, bro,

honestly 'cause we just
don't know you like that."

So I was, like, looking in...

Did you ever apologize to P'Jae?

Uh...

I mean, I don't think I
officially apologized to him.

I feel like people be,
like, so, like...

I don't know what,
you know what I mean, what...

How he feel.

Especially with the way
he stormed off.

I know I wasn't
the only one telling Jaylenn

that he needed
to apologize to P'Jae,

but not only did he
skip the apology.

He said some sh*t
to make P'Jae storm off.

And I mean, this is exactly
why I need to step in,

so sh*t like this
doesn't happen.

So I think his reaction
was valid.

- Yeah.
- So you gotta kind of

see where he's coming from too.

Like, men are sensitive beings,

and even though you're over it
doesn't mean that he is.

At a certain point,
you gotta grow up too.

Yeah.

Did you miss me
while you was gone?

Yeah.

- I missed you.
- I missed you.

I couldn't rub your booty
for, like, four or five days.

I know.

- I missed you.
- I missed you more.

- Mm.
- Mm.

So we gonna get to...

We gonna get back to business.

- You know what I want?
- What do you want?

- A "wah-wah."
- Oh, nah-nah.

[laughter]

- So we're still on that?
- Mm-hmm.

What is
the main reason we're not?

It's... at the end of the day,
it's my body.

Me and Jaylenn,
we're not on the same page.

Like, he definitely
wants children.

I've definitely expressed to him

that I at least
want to be engaged.

There's a lot of stuff that we
need to work on individually,

from communication,
dealing with past traumas.

At this point, therapy
should be a priority, period.

So we need to work through that

before we even think
about having children.

When I'm
in the right head space,

when you're
in the right head space,

we can just think about the kid.

I'm personally okay with
having children before marriage

because that's the environment
that I was raised in.

When you get marriage involved,
it's like you're just

basically saying,
"We're taking this relationship

to, like,
a business standpoint."

A kid doesn't involve that.

Everything is not gonna fit
like a perfect puzzle in life.

And if I keep waiting on that,
I will never have a kid.

After therapy,
we can just, you know,

work on some next steps.

- How you doing?
- Good, how are you?

You know, thirsty.

I'm trying to get drunk
before this little shift.

You know I got you
a drink on the way here.

- Okay! I know that's right.
- Okay.

By the way, first and foremost,

- you look good as f*ck.
- You know how we do.

Robb with two Bs,
the Bs stand for "best b*tch,"

'cause he's been my
best b*tch for a minute now.

I mean, one thing about him
is, he does not play about me.


The last time he's heard
about this group

is when they had me f*cked up.

So I may have forgiven them,

but I can't say
the same for him.

What you been up to?

So I just came back
from New York.

I've been trying to,
you know, get in everybody's

good graces,
but I feel like I was tried.

And you know me, like,
I normally just go ahead

and just say what the f*ck
is on my mind.

But I'm like,
I have to coexist with them

just because I f*ck
with Tylynn so much.

Like, Becky, surprisingly,
she seems like a sweet girl.

We're trying to start
a new friendship.

And same for Bri,
'cause they're, like,

literally besties, like...

From what I know about them,

sh*t,
Becky's always up Bri's a*s.

I feel like
Becky bites her tongue a lot

when it comes to her friends.

She's a punk.

- She's a punk.
- [laughs]

Anytime you choose to talk about

somebody behind
their back, aka you...

[laughs]

And when you approached her,
what did she say?

"Oh, no, I didn't do that.
I didn't say that."

- Girl, shut the f*ck up.
- [laughs]

Why are you hanging out
with m*therf*ckers

that don't even like you?

Well, it's just like,
I'm tired of this f*cking

unnecessary beef over
a n*gga that I don't want.

Over a n*gga
that didn't want her.

Ooh, you picked
the right environment,

because let me tell
you something, if I met them

on a different day,
it'd be a lot different.

You know how
to shut me the f*ck up.

This is why we are so close.

I still don't know
why you're so forgiving,

but, you know, it is what it is.

- I will definitely...
- Hey, girl!

- Hi.
- Hi, boo.

Hello.

- This is Robb.
- How you doing?

Hi.

- Mwah. You look so cute. Hi.
- Thank you.

Can I move this bag?

- Don't touch my bag.
- Hi.

- You can move it.
- Thank you.

So this is my main b*tch, Robb.

- Hey, Robb.
- What's up?

- Nice to meet you guys.
- Nice to meet you too.

But it's Robb with two Bs,
all right?

- So don't f*ck that up.
- Rrrrrobb.

- Yeah.
- Let's not f*ck that up.

Got you.

What y'all been talking about?

sh*t. You guys.

[laughter]

Here we go.

What's the tea?

I thought we was past that.

We are, but I had
to catch him up a little bit.

- [laughs]
- Right. What's the tea?

Oh, no,
she didn't tell me nothing,

but how the f*ck
did this become a thing?

We're just
getting to know each other.

Mm-hmm, but you didn't give
her a chance at first, so...

Ooh. You weren't there,
so I don't think you can,

you know, speak on it, huh?

- My friend told me.
- My friend told me.

Robb plays
devil's advocate for me

because it's like,
I'm so f*cking forgiving.

So he's like,
"Uh-uh, b*tch, hold on. Why?"

- She's too forgiving.
- "How? When?"

- He asks questions.
- And you didn't know her.

Mm-hmm. We've already
had that conversation.

I feel like Myami and I
just are past

everything that happened
in Palm Springs.

Wait, can I ask you a question?

But, like, what made
you get past it, though?

Is it the fact
that you're not talking

to old boy no more or...

I mean...

First of all, who is this n*gga?

Why is he coming for me?

And does he seriously think
I owe him an explanation?

Boy, bye.

I feel like it had
the least amount

to do with P'Jae.

Don't come to her defense

just 'cause she's up
your a*s all the time.

- Robert, no.
- Robb. Robb.

No, because you're
acting like...

I can't call you Robb...
'cause you're acting very

just malicious right now
for no reason, sir.

We came to this brunch
to get to know you.

Just chill
the f*ck out a little.

So you just... generally
just did not like her?

That's not technically...

Well, I didn't really,
to be honest.

- Okay, I like...
- No, I didn't really like you.

- There we go.
- I like the honesty.

- There we go.
- Well, f*ck you too, Bri.

- No.
- Real, b*tch.

That's usually how
the best friendships start,

to be honest.

Like, I think when
you don't like someone

initially, like,
each person has to work

a little harder for
the relationship, and, like,

sometimes that ends up
being your b*tch.

Briana,
you're optimistic like Myami,

so that makes sense.

He thinks that's my biggest
gift and my biggest flaw.

She most definitely is.

She's hanging out with you guys.

But I'm open-minded too.
I'm open minded too.

You see why he's my friend,
right.

We're baddies, okay?

I'm just a sweet b*tch at heart,

and I feel like no one
understands this.

You have a sweet face,
so that's why I was confused.

We've established what it was.

Can we just blame
this sh*t all on P'Jae?

Like, 90% of it...

- Yeah, cheers to that.
- Was on his fault.

And let's just move the f*ck on.

- Cheers to, you know...
- You know what it is now.

Meeting you guys.

f*ck P'Jae. I'm just kidding.

Not cheer sing to that.

Finally, someone
has said it besides me.

P'Jae's f*ck boy antics
is the reason why me

and Rebecca are even
beefin' to begin with.

Cheers to never
beefin' over a n*gga again.

This is growth right here.

- No, cheers to you, Robb.
- Cheers to meeting you.

- Yes, cheers to meeting you.
- Here we go.

Robb does not play
about his friend, okay?

I'm glad that I'm on this side,

because I feel like
I'm that for Rebecca too.

- There we go, okay.
- So we balancing out the table?

- Exactly.
- Okay.

- But speaking of men...
- [chuckles]

I've been having a guy
in my DMs.

The guy who DM'ed me,
his name is A.Q.

He literally
wants to go on a date,

but I'm just like,
I do not want to go alone.

Do you want to come with me
and be my little wing man?

Little double date?

- Yes.
- Okay.

- That's cute.
- That's real cute.

Okay,
so it's A.Q. and who else?

- That's the mystery.
- It's like a big question mark.

But A.Q. has such a, like,
big friend group,

from, like, what I see
on social media,

so it could be
a baller, shot caller.

Well, if I'm not
interested in these men,

I'm not gonna show it.

I don't expect
nothing less from you,

but I know you're
gonna be with me.

- It's gonna be a good time.
- Okay.

I'm coming just...

- For the drinks and me?
- For the drinks,

uh-huh, and for you.

Don't f*ck it up.

You need
to not f*ck this date up.

Ooh.

You been real
back and forth for me.

- Okay, first and foremost...

- Yo!
- What up, brothers?

What up with you, Jay?
How you doing, baby?

How you doing?

- Hey.
- How you doing?

What's going on with you, man?

My brother.

- It's been a minute, y'all.
- It has been.

We haven't been together,
what, since, like,

- Jada graduated.
- Yeah, graduation.

Love to see all y'all together.

Is it crazy that
we're so close and we're...

Like, have different,
like, mothers?

- Yes.
- All four of us.

Well, that was something
mandatory, though,

'cause you guys stayed, you
know, with me a lot

till Fi and Jasharae moved
to Texas, but, you know...

I'll give you
really some kudos to that,

because, like, you were there
the whole time, like, I was...

- I tried to be. I tried to be.
- I tried my best.

I have such a special
relationship and bond

with my brothers and sister.

It really just highlights my dad

and what he's installed in us.

He showed me
how to carry himself

as the leader
or the alpha of a family.

Y'all are, like,
real close in age.

And you give me
the hardest time.

You're the little pup.

Like, why I didn't get
another little pup, too, then?

- No.
- Well, I was done.

I was really done
before you got here.

[laughs]

Hey, I'm gonna be honest
with you,

you guys' parents tricked me.

[laughter]
I got... I got tricked.

- My mom...
- Your mom tricked me for sure.

- Yeah, I kind of...
- How did... what did you...

- Jasharae was...
- Wait, so, Pops,

were you married?

I do believe I married your mom.

I think I did.

I think I was
trapped into that too.

[laughter]

That's one thing I can't do.

I can't get peer pressured
into marriage.

It just gotta be natural.

So when do you
think about doing that?

Yeah, I know Ty is the person
that I want to marry,

but it's just about the timing,
you know what I mean?

- What about kids?
- I want to have kids...

- What you gonna do first?
- Can you please?

You know,
that's the thing with Ty.

Like, that's kind of
the issue right now.

Like, I want to have kids first.

Why do you
feel like that, though?

- Honestly, it's just, like...
- first... first...

Does it have anything
to do with your dad?

It have a lot to do with you,
you know what I mean?

- I really want...
- Like, it has something

to do with me 'cause
that's what you saw

with me or that's because...

I mean, well,
first is your health.

Since Pop's been sick,
sometimes we may get that call,

like, he's in surgery or he
just had some type of episode.

That makes me even more
persistent in telling her,

like, "I'm trying to have
a kid, bro, like"...

- Exactly.
- Right.

That's kind of,
like, unfair to her,

but it's still what I want.

- It's what you want.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I want my kids to be around you.

I want to experience that.
Like, I'd like that.

I would love to experience that.

I know, traditionally,
marriage comes before kids,

but my dad has been on dialysis

and had kidney failure,

you know what I mean,
since I can remember.

It's gonna be a time where
my dad's not always there.

I want my kids
to know their grandfather.

It's bigger than me.
It's bigger than me.

- The food is ready.
- Y'all ready to eat?

- Yes.
- Hey, hold on, Pop.

Let me chop it up
with you for a sec.

Can you help me with this
chicken over here, bro?

Yeah, so I wanted
to chop it up with you more...

Really on more
the topic of the kids thing,

'cause I am being serious
about that.

She doesn't want
to entertain the whole

idea of it,
you know what I mean?

So I was just like,
well, now it's like,

I'm low-key getting, like...

Impatient?

I mean,
now Ty is trying to have me

go to therapy with her.

I don't want to be
pulling teeth.

Like, you know what I mean?
It's like, if...

Your situation is
kind of hard, because, like,

you know the women run the show
when it comes to that.

You have to have
a deadline, though.

- What's the dead...
- What you mean?

Yeah, if you want
to start a family now,

she may say, "I want it
ten years from now"

- "or five years."
- That's a deal breaker.

It's a deal breaker for me.

I don't know what you
can say or what you can do.

You have to have a certain
time and whatever, or...

you gotta move...

I hate to say it,
you gotta move forward.

- What's going on here?

After the show,
some energy was off.

I can kind of sense it now.

I just want to get right to it.

Jaylenn said we were
talking sh*t about you before.

- I didn't know you before.
- The way I feel right now,

any of us would feel that way,
you feel me?

Like, somebody I'm rocking
with, like, oh, cool,

we get into business together,

and you find out
that person was, like,

- talking sh*t about you...
- Mm-hmm.

It just don't sit right
with me, it's just weird.

Like, none of it
makes sense to me, so...

sh*t, maybe you could make it
make sense to me, like.

There has been times before,

like, yeah, okay,
I didn't know you.

I've gotten to know you now.

You can see I'll go to bat
for you, like, literally

against my girlfriend's friend,
essentially, you know, for you.

I'm sorry, bro.

What was said before,
like I said, I didn't know you.

From my perspective,

Jaylenn owed P'Jae an apology
in that situation.

I'm expecting an apology
'cause from the jump,

like, I wasn't even 100% cool
with him being there

without getting an apology
prior to that.

I'm big on trust.

I appreciate you at least,
you know, acknowledging, like,

"Yo, yeah, I did do this.

Should I have done it?
Probably not."

But I mean, you...

Just going forward, I want you
to know we solid, bro.

We good, I appreciate you

even being man enough to,
like, own up to it

and just have this conversation.

But as far
as me and Jaylenn, bro,

I don't think me and him
are ever probably

gon' be on the same page
and see eye to eye.

It's no bad energy, it's
just no energy, you feel me?

It's just like, do your thing,
I'ma do my thing,

and I'ma keep elevating.

I probably shouldn't
have tried to get you

to talk to Jaylenn that night.

Time and a place, bro.

- Like, I had a...
- I had my experience

where I really felt like
I shared things,

and it really kind of
didn't go the way that I...

- Yeah.
- Would have wanted.

It's crazy that you say that,
bro,

because I feel the same way

after all the sh*t
that happened last year

after the podcast.

Literally seems like whenever
somebody that goes against...

Yeah, it's like a pendulum
down there.

What the hierarchy
of what Ty is saying, you know,

then it's kind of just like,
oh, you're my enemy.

It's the pendulum,
it's the, if I agree

with what you say,
then that mean

I'm disagreeing with
what somebody else says.

I just want to talk
about how I was called

a sociopath on national TV.

Oh, I can't trust Jerrold.

He's, like,
actually a sociopath.

But, like,
that was never addressed.

You know, like,
in the altercation

at Buttrd by Bri,

the way that she blew up
in that situation,

I was like, you know,
like, did it...

It just didn't seem
like he deserved that.

And then there was no,
like, formal apology issued,

or was there?

From Tylynn, I would say yeah.

- She apologized, for sure.
- She did?

- Really?
- Absolutely.

It's just interesting,
man, to hear, you know,

Rob got an apology.

Cheryl got an apology
at the group chat.

Apologies are being shelled out.

- I'm telling you, bro, like...
- Y'all was tight.

I've known Ty
since, like, high school,

and for me to sit here
and, like, hear all of this,

the nature of friendship
just can't be the same.

- That is tough.
- sh*t, I don't know.

You don't think you'll ever
be able to go back that way?

- It's not like I hate her.
- Like, I love her.

At some point in time,
somebody need to tell her that,

you know, like, she can't keep

coming at people the way
that she coming at them.

Best of luck, brother.

[chuckles]
Best of luck, brother.

I know many have tried.

I know many have tried.

I guess she trying to change,
but, like,

until I see that change,

I feel like somebody
need to tell her.

Rob tried to tell her.

Been it.

[laughter]

But, girl, we gotta work

Didn't you go on, like,
a date or something

with my home girl Briana?

Ooh, spicy.

- Briana, we had... you're right.
- LA is small.

We did have a hangout workout
not too long ago.

- Hangout workout situation.
- Yeah.

- That was it, just a workout?
- Yeah.

You know that's my best friend.

- Now I know.
- Okay.

'Cause you attended
her BBB event, right?

- I did. I was invited to that.
- It was a good event.

I feel like
I remember seeing you.

Yeah, I did see you, though.

And, you know, very attractive.

Bri looked good as well,
obviously.

- Eh.
- Ooh.

- Well, sh*t, can we...
- Let's check the menus.

Where the f*ck
are the drinks at?

Did you know
that I was gonna be here?

What did A.Q. tell you?

I just told my boy, "Hey",

"I got a setup blind for us.

Just pull up with me."

Can we get a quick cheer?

Yeah, what we cheer sing to?

Here's to two beautiful women,

two friends,
getting to know each other.

It's a good Friday.

- A vibe. Cheers to a vibe.
- Cheers.

- I like that.
- A good LA vibe.

Are you single?

You're getting to it.

Yes, I am single.

I am single.

I've been single for a bit now,

'cause I was gonna get married
in May of this year.

- Of this year?
- Yeah.

So did your ex-fiancée
like your scarves?

- What was the question?
- [laughs]

She ain't feeling that scarf.

- [laughter]
- You're not feeling the scarf?

Honestly, take the scarf off

and I would feel
everything else.

Oh, this is my swag,
so I'ma keep it on.

She feeling
that cashmere you got on.

Boy, you gotta
take that scarf off.

I really would... like, yeah.

Anyhoo, so...

[laughter]

How you feeling the vibe so far?

It's great.

- Yeah?
- Good vibes.

- So would you...
- Is that your type?

"Is that your type?"

- Right.
- Damn, you treating me

- like a object.
- [laughs]

This is the first time
we're hanging out,

so I don't know my type
right off the bat.

[laughter]

Yeah, what happened?

So what do you look for
in a woman?

Like, what attracted you
to Myami?

- I like the game.
- I like the game of power.

- You like games.
- [laughter]

I'm definitely liking your vibe

right now, though, fo' sho'.

I actually like
how persistent A.Q. has been.

He's showing me the attention
that I need at the moment.

So that's an A-plus for A.Q.

Like, I was tapping in with her

and she wasn't responding,
so I'm like, oh.

So you like the chase.

Don't we all?

sh*t, I like to be chased.

- And you like... oh, sh*t.
- Yes.

Every woman likes to be chased.

- [growls]
- [laughs]

- He's like...[growls]

So, like, what's this?

What is it for?

So I just wanted
to do something nice

to tell you that I'm sorry.

Sorry for missing your show.

I just wanted to extend
my apology beyond words.

This is super nice.

Oh, I like this.
Thank you for this.

I want you to know for sure

this is the last semester
of Mr. Lee right here.

Ah, so proud of you.

So next one, front and center.

I will be there.

Rob wants to chase his dreams,

and I want to support him
in that.


I hope that this date
can show him that I am

really rooting him on

and I'm ready to keep
building with him.

I'm not gonna lie, hearing
you say you went to New York

and you did your thing,
that was awesome for me too.

Like, we all out here
trying to chase our dreams.

It's not just me.

I just want to let you know

I want to support you too.

I want to be there
for you on this journey.

And we kind of... we kind of
growing together.

So not this.

This.

- Okay, we gotta cheers.
- Yes.

I think we should cheers to...

understanding

and chasing our dreams

and doing it together

- as a team.
- Yes, yes, together.

- Emphasis on together.
- That rhymed.

[light music]

I feel like this
is a good time to, like,

reset and think about,
you know, what's next.

What do we want to do next?

I really want to go on vacation.

Oh, okay.

I mean, the girls,
we pretty much, you know,

got along
when we were in New York,

so we could do bae-cations,
singles, plus-ones,

you know,
potential boo, whatever.

So we are... we're good
with the plus-ones?

'Cause I know plus-ones is...

- [laughs]
- Ah!

- sh*t get iffy.
- sh*t get iffy, so just...

- Funny.
- We gotta put that

in writing or something.

Shut up, shut up.

But, like,
I hear you on the girls.

Y'all are good,
but I don't necessarily know

if the guys are really
kind of there yet.

P'Jae and Jay,
they're not really cool.

- They're not really...
- They never been cool.

It ain't just P'Jae and Jaylenn
going on the trip, bae.

I mean, I know.

I'm telling them, "Yeah,
me and Tylynn talked

and were able to apologize
to each other,"

things like that.

And Jerrold is basically like,
"Wait, what?"

He feels like there's
a hierarchy

where it's basically, like,
Tylynn, then you and Jaylenn,

and then it's like,
people fall in their line.

I think it's a conversation
worth having.

- Come in.
- Hi.

- What's up, TB?
- How are you?

- Good, good to see you.
- Hey.

- What's good, my man?
- Both: Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you,
nice to meet you.

Awesome.

Welcome to therapy.

Hey, man, thanks for having me.

- His first time.
- Of course, of course.

So first question.

What brought us
into couples therapy?

I feel like recently,

we've been having differences
in regards to family building.

We just want to make sure
that we're actually aligned

and that we have the same goals.

And what are some steps
to communicate that

and work through that?

Communication is something
that we want to work on.

I want you to describe each
other's communication style.

Jaylenn is reactive.

Like, when he's upset,
he doesn't really care

too much about
the other person's feeling

on the other end.

Mm-hmm.

Her communication style, to me,

I feel like it's very,
like, abrupt.

My mind will switch
from what we're actually...

The issue is to time-out.

Like, you don't... you know
we have to act like that.

Okay, are you guys okay if we
revisit the past a little bit?

- Sure.
- Mm-hmm.

How long have we been together?

Almost four years.

What was the beginning
of the relationship like,

and how long did our
honeymoon phase last?

The beginning
was really, really fast.

Okay.

We only talked for,
like, two months

until, like, we had a situation

and had to part ways.

Okay.

I had ended up getting pregnant,

and I told him
what I was going to do.

What was the thing
that you were gonna do?

I was gonna get an ab*rtion.

You already made
that decision on your own.

Yeah.

No one around me

has ever told me
they had an ab*rtion.

- Hmm.
- So I was really, like,

the first one.

And I feel like my family has

this idealized version of me
in their head,

so I just felt like
I would be failing them

by telling them that I,
like, got pregnant

by someone I just met.

How did that affect you, Jay?

So on one end,
I was, like, relieved.

But then on the other end,
I kind of wanted

to step up to the plate
and just figure it out.

Like, I didn't communicate that.

I get distant.

So I couldn't just
man up and tell her.

When I made
the ab*rtion appointment,

everything was cool.

And then he kind of
stopped talking to me.

- Okay.
- Where did that take you?

I felt like I was spiraling.

I was just
hitting him up so much,

and he just wasn't responding.

And then there was one time
he sent me this note, like,

"You're applying
too much pressure,"

and, like, that's, like,
scarred in my memory.

Mm.

I don't know, like,
I felt like I was going crazy

'cause it was just...
We were all good.

And then the week
of the appointment,

it... like, complete 360.

Okay, so then how did we go

from being supportive
to then that behavior?

Was there any outside
influences in our ear

that we were venting to?

- Yes.
- Okay.

What did they say?

"sh*t,
is she even really pregnant?"

Or, "Is she just trying
to get money for it

from you, from this ab*rtion?"

It's, like,
just a bunch of noise.

Mm-hmm.

I was more, like,
you know what I mean,

fearful of just being,
like, a bad boyfriend.

Mm.

I didn't need him
to be my boyfriend.

Like, the thing is,

it's like, you didn't need
to be my boyfriend

when you had sex with me.

You didn't need to be
my boyfriend

for me to get pregnant.

Like, you don't need
to be my boyfriend now

that I'm having an ab*rtion,
you just need to be there.

Now I'm scrambling
to, like, have my friend

take me to the appointment

because you can't drive home
that day.

Mm.

Okay, now I have
to forget this person

and just, like, focus on Ty.

Honestly,
until she told me that...

When she went to the appointment

and that the lady said
that it was twins,

that's when I kind of was like,

"Damn, like, you didn't
have a second thought then?"

She was on birth control, and
she took a Plan B the next day

and still had twins.

I don't know why, but selfishly,

my feelings was hurt.

Twins, I just felt like,
damn, like, that's special.

We could have
came back to the table

and talked about it.

Well, if you were there,

maybe I would have
thought twice.

But, like, f*ck no, like,

I'm not having anything.

Like, I was alone.
