So last night Zayne told me about court coming up and honestly, I'm pissed. First of all, I'm mad she waited so long to tell me and second, I'm pissed at D'Juan for pressin' charges like a bitch! I mean, yeah, we did destroy his most prized possession but it's just a car.

I'm sure it's fixed already.

It's Thursday afternoon and I'm at work with a bad headache. There's not much for me to do today since we're fully staffed so I'm in my office with the lights low and two aspirin pills on my desk.

I grab my phone and scroll through my contacts. When I find the name I'm lookin' for, I create a new text thread and take a deep breath.

Aight I'm ready to talk

Juan👎🏾
Trouble wit yo new relationship? Lol

I roll my eyes and scoff. Ugh and eww. I can't believe I dated him for so long.

🙄Can you talk or not

Juan👎🏾
U wanna swing by or I come to u

Ughhhh. I groan. I really do not want to deal with him right now. But I need him to drop the charges on my baby 'cause if she goes to jail not only will I be heartbroken but so will Ari.

And I can't have that.

So I send him the address to my job and take a deep breath. I haven't seen him in so long, I'm anxious. I don't know what to expect when it comes to him since we ended the way we did.

Almost twenty minutes later, a knock on my office door makes my stomach turn. When I don't answer right away, two more taps fill the silence.

"Come in." I say.

"Last time I came to ya job, we made some good memories." D'Juan makes his presence known before he's fully in the door.

He hasn't changed at all. Still tall, fine, chocolate and arrogant as hell.

Ugh.

"This has nothing to do with that." I tell him and motion towards the chair in front of my desk. "Sit down."

"You look different. You've changed." He comments and sits. "Whatever it is, it looks good on you."

I half smile at the compliment as we stare at each other and for a split second, a wave of sadness washes over me.

Even though what me and D'Juan had is long gone and over with, it wasn't all bad between us.

My phone startles me as it rings in my lap with an incomin' text. I glance down to see a message from my baby.

🔪💦Crazy Neck😮‍💨🤤
bby I need yo lips .

I chuckle because Zayne is so funny, always wantin' sex when I'm at work and she's home. I'm the same way though.

"Rosie..." D'Juan drags, soundin' as annoyed with me as I am with his presence.

"Sorry." I apologize after responding to Zayne's message.

Lmao can't wait until I get home?

"Before you say what you gotta say...I just wanna say I'm sorry for cheatin' on you. You were the best thing that happened to me and I threw it away for some bitch."

That catches my attention quickly. I put my attention on to his big bulky shoulders and the way his brown eyes peer into me.

"Don't bad mouth the mother of your child to me." I tell him as my eyes fall back in my lap.

"The baby wasn't mine." He mumbles loud enough for me to hear but my attention is back on me and Zayne's text thread.

🔪💦Crazy Neck😮‍💨🤤

🔪💦Crazy Neck😮‍💨🤤
🙄 muh appointment in 2 hours . I'm omw 😈

"You gotta go, D'Juan." I say frantically, throwin' my phone on my desk and sitting up straight.

"What? You just told me you wanted to talk. I'm here now. Let's talk."

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

"No, like...you really gotta go." My heart skips beat after beat, like I'm doin' something wrong even though I'm not.

I know she won't see it that way though.

If Zayne catches D'Juan here, at my job, in my office, I don't know how I'm goin' to calm her down.

"You called me. So I ain't leavin' till we talk."

Fuck!!
