A few months later...

I was sitting outside in the backyard, doing some work. These last few months have been great. I ended up moving to Atlanta with my woman, Bri. She let me move in and she even shared her office with me. I can't lie. I'm seriously in love and I hope it stays that way.

Malaika? She's been blowing up my phone since I left. I heard from her sister that she has gone haywire and they're trying to take her to rehab since she's dealing drugs. Should I go back and check on her? I don't know because I'm happy and don't want anything from the past to ruin that for Bri and me.

"Jade." I heard Bri calling my name. I turned my head to see her fully dressed. She walked over to me and sat down on my lap.

"You okay?" She asked as she caressed my cheek. I sighed in relief and wrapped my arms around your waist, squeezing it.

"I love you," I mumbled as I buried my face in her neck.

"I love you too." She reached her hand down and massaged my scalp. "Want me to wash and re-twist your hair tonight?"

I slowly nodded and we sat there in silence for a second. "I keep thinking about her.." I said. She tensed up a bit.

"What are you trying to say?" She asked.

I pulled away and looked at her. "I think I want to fly out there to check on her. Her health and safety are what matters... she keeps blowing my phone up and she won't go to rehab for some reason so maybe if I go.." I shrugged. "She'll get some help?"

She looked at me and smiled. "You're always trying to look out for someone. That's what I love about you." She grabbed my face and pulled me into a passionate kiss.

"Hmm.." I felt her dominance rising. I slipped my hand to her throat, gripping it as I fought for it. She gasped and I won. I pulled away. "Stop trying to play me." I chuckled as I let her go.

She chuckled and stood up. "If you really want to check on her, you should do it before it's too late."

I nodded. "I'll start looking at the flight tickets. You coming?"

She shook her head no. "No no, I trust you. You should do this yourself plus I have a busy schedule, especially with my podcast going out to the public soon. I need to get ready for that."

I nodded. "Dinner date tonight before I leave tomorrow?" I suggested. She nodded. "That sounds nice. Go ahead and make reservations after you book your flight." She leaned over and kissed my cheek.

I slipped my hand to her butt, squeezing it. She chuckled and got up. I smiled. "You're looking good today."

She playfully rolled her eyes. "Thank you, baby." She said pecking my lips. "I will see you later on tonight."

I poked my lip out and nodded. "I'm going to miss you."
