Chapter Forty One

**Unedited**

KAREEM'S POV

When I went back to work on Wednesday everyone had questions about where I had been since the weekend. Diana told them I'd been sick and I stuck to gang story. It was none of their business where I had been. Diana had insisted we stay home on Tuesday too just so she could continue talking care of me. I was not one to say no to sex and lying all day in bed with my lady. It had been a relaxing day but we didn't want to push our luck too far so we both had to go back to work. Everyone at work believed me when I told them I'd been sick, all except for Fabian. He had been on my case ever since I clocked in and would not let it go.

"Are you really not going to tell me where you've been since Saturday? Come on dude, I'm you're best friend."Fabian nagged kicking the bottom of my boot.

I was working under and audi and the idiot wouldn't stop nagging me.

"I told you I was sick, Diana stayed home to take care of me. Now can you leave me be, I'm trying to work here and so should you."I demanded.

"You're never sick, I've known you four years and you've never been sick. The most you've ever down with was a flu and even then you came to work. What are you hiding from me?"He insisted kicking my boot again.

"Fabian if you don't stop that I swear to all that is holy I will smash your head against the wall."I threatened.

"Is Diana pregnant?"He asked completely ignoring me.

"No. Why would you think that?"I gritted out.

"It's the only reason I could come up with that would actually give you enough reason to stay home."Fabian replied.

"Maybe I just wanted to stay home with my girl playing hooky."I retorted.

"Yeah, no, definitely not you or Diana. You know I won't leave you alone until you tell me what happened so just spill it out."Fabian said.

I knew he was right, there's no way he was going to leave me alone until I told him. I rolled down from under the car. I got up and head used the dirty rag to wipe the oil from my hands.

"Okay fine, since you won't let it be, I might as well tell you. I got arrested on Saturday night after dropping you guys off. I spent the weekend in so Diana had to come get me out on Monday."I explained.

"You what? Why? I know you weren't driving drunk so why?"Fabian asked.

"I got into a fight with Kyle, Diana's ex when I went to pick up my car at the club. He was being a dick talking smack about me and about her so I decided to teach him a lesson and I got arrested for it."I replied.

"Shit man, I'm sorry. What about the other dude? Is he alive? Are you going to prison?"Fabian inquired.

"It wasn't much of a fight, I knocked him out with one punch. And I'm not going to prison, Diana bribed the police to throw the case out. You know how corrupt our system is."I explained.

"That's good but why didn't you just tell us that in the first place."

"Honestly it's none of anyone's business and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it."

"You're right I'm sorry for meddling, you're okay though right?"He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine and you always meddle so you're apology isn't accepted, you'll still do the same next time."I replied.

"You're right. Now that I've got what I came for, imma get back to work."The fool grinned before walking away skipping.

"I should dice your cheque for that."I yelled after him.
