"Nice meeting you, I'll see you later," I said to Lorenzo walking off towards my car. I heard his door slam.
"Where are you going," he asked.
"Out with a friend," I said, turning around to look at him. He looked like he wanted to say something.
"What friend? Lauryn is in Virginia and Violet is probably with CJ" he asked as he walked closer to me.
"It's none of your business," I said to him as I opened my car door. He quickly shut it.
"Who is he," he asked.
"Just a friend. We just met and we're just getting to know each other. I'm just going to pick up my wallet that I left. Ok daddy" I asked sarcastically.
"YO! What the fuck? How were you with another man when you were in my bed last night" he asked.
I'm about to lose it on his ass. Is he crazy? Like what the fuck is up?
"WHAT? Are you insane? YOU.." I started to say as I took a deep breath.
"I can't even get my words out... that's how angry I am with you, right now. You have some fucking nerve to say that to me when I have seen you with TWO BITCHES TODAY" I said yelling at him.
"Man, be quiet," he said to me trying to hush me. He put his hands over my mouth and backed me into my car. I hit him.
"Get your nasty ass hands off of me. Oh, I see. You don't want your bitch to know that you had another bitch over here a FEW HOURS AGO" I said yelling so she could hear.
"Man, what the fuck is wrong with you," he asked.
"Me? Ok. Are you serious? MOVE, LORENZO" I said yelling as I pushed him out of the way. I opened my car door and he shut it again.
"Please, move," I said.
"Why? So you can go out with him again" he asked.
"What does it matter to you? You have a whole female in that car. Lorenzo, I just can't believe you" I said shaking my head.
"I don't know what the fuck is happening right now with you, but you need to get it together. Either way, if you do or you don't, I'll be moving out in less than a week. And I don't want to ever speak to you again" I spat at him as he moved out of my way.
I got in the car and sped off. I felt the tears run down my face. I truly love him and for everything to just change literally overnight, it hurts me. I got onto the interstate to head towards the park. I reached in my stash and lit a blunt from earlier. I inhaled it a few times and felt the anger leave my body. I started to laugh at myself.
I don't even know why I said I was moving out. I just said it out of anger. I haven't even started looking. But that's what I'll be doing tomorrow. I inhaled the blunt a few more times and put it out. But I do still have money saved up from what I stole from Andre, so that should help me last until I get on my feet.

Nia's POV
August 20th
12:30 pm
One Month Later
"Nia, did you go over the Bank's Family Account? Something doesn't look right, the numbers aren't adding up" the jewelry store's owner, Ms. Rita asked. She's my boss and she's an up in age, sweet lady.
"Yea, I did. It looks like they're removing money from our business account and adding it into an "Emergency Account". That's why no one has been suspecting anything" I said to her.
"Oh Lord Jesus, really? My son isn't going to like this when he finds out that someone is stealing from us" she said as she started pacing. I could see the fear all in her eyes.
"Ms. Rita, it's ok. I'm sure we will find out who it is soon and I'm sure your son will understand. I'm going to get right on it" I said to her as I rubbed her shoulder.
"No, it will not be fine, Nia. I'm about to go call my son" she said as she rushed to the back. I sighed and sat down at the desk.
BUZZZ BUZZZ BUZZZ
I looked down at my phone to see a call from Lauryn. I texted her to let her know I was at work.
Text Message
Lauryn: I finally told Kyree about what happened before our wedding night. He didn't take it well, but he admitted that he has been cheating on me for the past 9 months. I only did it ONCE. He's been doing it every night for the past 9 months, that hurts. That really sucks!
Damn, I know she's probably hurting right now. That's really messed up. I hate that she's going through this with him. She and I have gotten much closer, though. She visited me and came to my condo about two weeks ago. I finally got myself a place to stay. It's a 2 bedroom condo with a view of the city near Harbor East. It's spacious and very nice. But Lauryn stayed with me for the weekend. We went out, had drinks, and just had a good time. She even met William.
Speaking of William, we have been on a few dates. He's cool and very down to Earth. He's very humble and attentive. He's funny, sweet, affectionate, and a good guy. I enjoy going out with him and getting to know him.
And I haven't even heard from Lorenzo at all. Lauryn claims he doesn't say anything when she brings up my name. She said he acts like I don't exist and that's crazy. How? Hell, why? I felt something so deep with him. No lie, I fell in love with his ass even harder the night we had sex. And I will never forget him saying that it was a mistake.
Text Message
Lauryn: I'm filing for a divorce. I just met up with a lawyer. I get the papers tomorrow and I'm going to sign them and take them to Kyree.
Damn. I didn't think she was really going to get a divorce. Lord.
Text Message
Me: Wow. I can't believe you really did it.
Lauryn: I'm tired, Lauryn. And I already knew he was cheating. All those "business trips" he was claiming to go on. He would stay for weeks and weeks at a time and swear it had something to do with closing a deal. I'm ready to end this.
Me: I understand. I'm so sorry. If you need anything, call me.
Lauryn: I will. Keep your head up and I'm super proud of you. Make that money!
"Hey, Nia. We're going to have to shut down early. Actually, in the next 5 minutes," Ms. Rita said to me as she started grabbing her belongings.
"What's going on? Is everything alright, Ms. Rita" I asked as she frantically started to drop things and pick them back up. She dropped her wallet and change flew everywhere.
"My, God," she said to herself.
"Let me help you," I said as I started to help her pick it up.
"You need to leave, Nia. Now. Leave. J-Just go" she said as tears started to run down her face.
"Are you sure? I don't want to leave you like this. I'm worried" I said.
"I'm fine, baby. Just go ahead. My son will be here any minute. And I'll still pay you for the rest of the day" she said as I nodded. I reluctantly walked out and headed to my car. What the hell is going on?
I backed out of my job and headed onto the highway. I stopped at Kong's Seafood to get me some crab legs.
"Welcome to Kong's Seafood, what can I get you," the lady on the intercom asked.
"Can I get the Lemon Pepper and Garlic Butter shrimp boil and can you add crab legs with that?" I asked.
"Do you want half-pound or whole pound ma'am?" she asked. Fuck it. Go big or go home.
"Give me the pound," I said.
"Anything to drink," she asked.
"Yes, can I have a large sweet tea and a slice of red velvet cake," I asked.
"Your total is $22.50," she said as I pulled up to the second window. I handed her my card and she handed me my food. I sped off and headed towards my condo. I reached into the bag trying to get a shrimp.
BUZZZZ BUZZZZ BUZZZ
"Hello," I asked into the phone as I dropped my shrimp.
"Wassup, ma" I heard Lorenzo's strong voice say.
"Shit" I hissed.
"What are you doing," he asked.
"I'm driving, Lorenzo, and I was trying to eat, but I dropped my shrimp," I said.
"Fat ass," he said.
"Fuck you," I said.
"When," he asked.
"Never. What do you want?" I asked.
"I'm just checking on you, I haven't heard from you in a minute," he said.
"Yeah, and tha
t's your fault," I said as I turned into my complex. He sighed.
"I miss having you around, man," he said. I chuckled.
"Oh, now you miss me. You weren't paying me any attention about a month ago, when you were trying to get your cake and ice cream and eat it, too" I spat at him. He chuckled.
"It wasn't like that, Nia. I'm sorry" he said.
"Well, what was it like then, Lorenzo? I need something better than that because it makes no sense to me. Call me later when you have a better explanation" I said hanging up.
I pulled into my condo and got out. I grabbed my food and walked inside the house. I stripped and took a shower. I hopped out and got in bed. I turned the tv to Netflix and started to eat my food.

BUZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZ
"Hello," I asked into my phone. I didn't even know I dozed off.
"Wassup baby girl" I heard Will's voice say into the phone.
"I texted you about an hour ago," he said.
"My bad, I was asleep. I'm just waking up" I said.
"Oh, damn. Well, I'll leave you alone then" he said.
"What is it? I'm up now" I said.
"I want to spend time with you and take you out tonight," he said, making me smile.
"You don't have to dress up, so dress comfortably" he added.
"Ok, yea, we can go somewhere," I said.
"Bet. I'll come by to get you around 8" he said.
"Ok, see you then," I said hanging up. I looked at the time and it was almost 7 now. I got up and stretched. I threw my trash away and hopped in the shower again. I brushed my teeth and applied a little makeup. I wonder where he's taking me tonight. He's constantly finding ways to impress me every time. I slid on some jeans and a t-shirt with tennis shoes. I combed my hair and sprayed perfume on as I waited for Will. I sighed. Lord give me strength.
Lorenzo's POV
9:00pm
I know Nia probably hates my guts, but I do miss her. I miss having her here. Her presence is what I crave. I know I fucked up, but I was scared as hell. I let my mouth run too much and ended up telling her I love her. I do love her and I do care about her, but I'm just scared. I'm scared she'll hurt me and I'm scared that I'll maybe hurt her. And I think I have already.
I pulled into CJ's crib and hopped out. I walked inside and Lauryn opened the door.
"What the hell are you doing here? You weren't gonna tell me you were down" I asked.
"I wasn't expecting to see you. Plus, I'm mad at you" she said.
"What I do to you," I asked.
"You hurt my friend. Nia loved you" she said rolling her eyes.
"The way you hurt Violet," I asked her.
"No, don't come at me with that bullshit. She wasn't my friend. I didn't owe her any loyalty. And she damn sure as hell wasn't Nia's friend either, so you better not try to pull that card with her" she said rolling her neck at me. When the hell did her and Nia make this best friend bond shit?
"Whatever. Has your divorce been finalized?" I asked.
"Almost. I get the papers tomorrow. I'm ready to sign them, so I can be free" she said.
"And CJ is what you want," I asked. She nodded smiling.
"I love him, Lorenzo," she said looking down. I sighed.
"Alright, if he makes you happy, then I'm cool with it. I love y'all both, so man don't make this hard for me" I said as CJ came bopping in.
"Wassup, my boy," he said, dapping me up as I hugged him.
"Just chilling, I need to holler at you," I said to him.
"What? You can't talk in front of me? I'm sure it's about Nia and if it is, that ship has sailed. She's going on a date tonight" she said smiling.
"With who," I asked.
"The same guy she's been going out with, William" Lauryn said.
"William who," I asked. I know a few Williams around the way.
"I don't know, damn. Ask her" she said. I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch. CJ patted my back.
"She's really serious about him, huh," I asked Lauryn.
"Honestly, no. You and Nia have this special bond. And it's still there, but your pride and nerves are in the way. You need to fix this" Lauryn said. I sighed.
"I'll talk to her tomorrow. I'll see if she'll let me see homeboy" CJ said as I dapped him up. I nodded.
"Preciate it. I'm about to head out" I said as I walked towards the door.
"CJ, take care of my sister, man," I said.
"Always. You go find that girl and never let her go, my boy, and take care of her, too" he said as I walked out. I shook my head. I didn't even know Lauryn and CJ were that damn serious. Damn. I sped off in my Challenger and lit my wood. I wonder where the hell Nia is staying at now. She has really started a whole new life without me and I hate the fact that I fucked up shit and now, I'm not able to be in her life.
Chapter 18: Lonely Nights
Lorenzo's POV
August 30th
8:30 pm
I woke up to the sound of pots banging. Morgan and Tia were both downstairs cooking for me. No lie, I miss Nia like crazy, but I'm starting to believe that she's not coming back.
"LORENZO" I heard Morgan yell from downstairs.
"What," I asked, as her and Tia came inside my room.
"You want whip cream," Morgan asked.
"Or cherries," Tia asked, licking her lips. I smiled.
"Oh, I want both," I said, licking my lips as they both got in bed with me. Tia kissed my neck as Morgan trailed her kisses down my abs.
"Shittttt" I hissed.
I could feel my phone vibrating under me, but I didn't care at the moment. I've been trying to get both of them in bed with me for the longest. And tonight, they were down for some reason.
"You ready, daddy," Tia asked as her and Morgan started to kiss each other. They both were fine as hell, but Morgan was the baddest. She always smells good and she got ass for years.
My phone continued to vibrate.
"Man, what the hell," I said out loud as I grabbed my phone.
"YO," I asked into the phone without looking at the caller ID. Tia slid my shorts off and licked her lips at me. I watched her as she took my dick in her mouth.
"Lorenzo" I heard Nia's soft voice say. I quickly sat up but Morgan pushed me back down on the bed giggling. I stretched my arm out hoping Nia wouldn't hear anything.
"Shit" I hissed as I pushed Tia's head down further. Morgan started kissing on my neck.
"I n-need you. Please" she said, sniffing.
"What's going on," I asked, trying to focus on what she was saying. I pushed Tia's head but she continued sucking. She started to swallow my shit.
"G-" Morgan started to say as I cut her ass off quickly by placing my hand over her mouth. I pressed the mute button on the phone.
"F-Fuck" I grunted.
"Shut up" I spat at her.
"Get off the phone daddy" Morgan whined.
"Y'all need to chill. SHIT" I said as I felt myself about to bust. Tia stopped sucking as Morgan climbed on top of me.
"N-N-No, get off" I spat at her.
"We don't need a rubber, daddy, I got you," she said as she started licking and nibbling on my ear.
"Ride that dick, sis" Tia said to Morgan.
I couldn't stop smiling, right now. I’m going to enjoy fucking they asses tonight. Man, CJ ain't gone believe this shit. I grabbed my phone and tried to turn on the camera, but realized Nia was off the phone. Shit. I forgot. I'll call her back later, I don't know what she wants. She got a new man, supposedly. Hell, she needs to ask him for whatever she needs. Fuck her.
I turned on my camera as Morgan slid down on my dick. I laid my head back in ecstasy as I enjoyed every moment.

CJ's POV:
10:00pm
BUZZZZ BUZZZZ BUZZZZ
I looked down at my ringing phone. Who the hell is calling me this time of night? I looked down at it and it was Nia. I quickly answered it.
