Xavier POV-

I haven't spoke to Carter in two months. She won't talk to me. And lowkey...I miss her. And Cartier. I just need her to listen to me...

Uzi POV-

My nigga in his damn feelings. He needa snap the fuck out of it. But we a know that shit ain't gonna happen Imma help his ass out. I told him I would be back and I grabbed my keys and left. When I get to her salon, I see she's just now getting here herself. I get out my car and yell her name. She rolls her eyes and keeps walking. I jog across the street and stop her from going in

Carter: "What? We already had an incounter once before. Can you leave?"

She moves my hand and opens the door but I closed it right back and stand front of it but then I notice all the females staring at me from the inside so I just wave at them and then they turn their heads

Carter: "What?!"

Me: "Look ma-"

Carter: "I ain't yo ma..."

Me: "Ion give a damn. I say what I wanna say..."

She mean mugs the hell out of me and crosses her arms

Me: "You and Xavier needa talk. ASAP. The nigga all in his feelings and shit. All he wants you to do is listen..."

Carter: "Well you know what..."

Me: "Uzi. I ain't giving you my government name..."

Carter: "Ooookayyy. Well Uzi Ion wanna listen to him. Ion wanna talk to him. Ion wanna look at him. Ion wanna do shit wit him. He shouldn't have lied and kept it a secret. Ion do too well wit liars as you can see. So you can go back to yo friend..."

I just sigh and look down. Then I look at her

Me: "Ion usually say this shit...but please talk to him. All you gotta do is listen. If you choose to talk well that's on you. He just needs you to listen. Thirty minutes at the most..."

Carter: "*sighs* OK. OK. Fine. Tell him to come by my house tonight at eight..."

Me: "Thank you"

I opened the door for her and she looked at me for a few seconds then walked in. Then all the females look at me

Me: "Hey. How are y'all?"

Everybody: "Good"

Female: "He cute"

I just laughed

Me: "You too ma. Aye you know what call me. 721-8949. Hit me up"

She nodded and I left. When I got back to the trap, I walked in his office and he looked at me

Xavier: "Where'd you go?"

Me: "To talk to Carter and I got a female at the same damn time..."

He just shook his head

Me: "She told me to tell you to meet her at her house tonight at eight. She'll listen to what chu have to say"

Xavier: "Forreal?"

Me: "Yup. You needa get out yo damn feelings"

He just mean mugged me. Well it's the truth...

*8 p.m*

Carter POV-

After that encounter with Uzi in front of my salon, I decided to listen to him. I'm really upset that he kept it to himself. So for the past two months, I have said nothing to him. I haven't seen him. But I still see Demitri because I go up to Cartier school and take her lunch and I sit with them. Right now Cartier and I are watching Disney Channel. While we're watching TV, my doorbell goes off. I get up and answer and it's Xavier. I tell him to come in and we walk in the living room

Cartier: "Daddy!!"

She runs and hugs him and he hugs back. She calls him that because he's the father figure in her life

Xavier: "Hey princess. You been good?"

She nods and smiles

Cartier: "I missed you. Where have you been?"

Then he looked at me then back at her

Xavier: "I've been super super busy with work. And super super tired"

Me: "Cartier can you to your room and play. I'll call you back I promise"

She nods and skips towards the stairs and goes up to her room

Me: "Yo friend Uzi said you wanted to talk..."

Xavier: "And I do..."

Me: "Well. I'm listening..." I said sitting on the couch

Xavier: "Just to get straight to it. I'm sincerely sorry that I kept it from you for three months. I wanted to tell you but I didn't want to mess up anything. And the outcome...it got messed up. I wasn't trying to hurt you. I just didn't want you to see me as a different person. I only do it for my son. That's the only reason why I do it. I know it was wrong. I should have told you from the jump but I did know how to word it.I didn't want you to spazz out like you did when I told you. Right then and there I knew you saw me different. I'm still the same Xavier. I'm no different, Carter. The only difference is what I do..."

Me: "And that's the problem I have Xavier. It's what you do. What you do is not what you told me you did. You lied to my face. You kept it a secret for three months. I don't want to have to worry about your life because of what you do. I don't want to get a phone call saying that you've been shot and is in critical condition and hanging onto your life. I don't have time for that. I don't want to deal with the fact that you might get caught doing this and end up having to go to jail which means I'm going to have to get collect calls from the prison that you are locked up in. I don't want to go through none of that..."

Xavier: "Baby and you won't. You won't have to deal with any of that. I promise, Carter. Can you forgive me?"

I just look at him and I can tell he is serious

Me: "I forgive you"

He kissed me and I kissed back. Now all I have to worry about. Is his life...
