"Baby. Baby... can you hear?"

"Yes, I hear you. It finally connected!"

Im finally hearing my woman's voice after days. It felt too long no matter how you wanna put it.

It's 9 in the morning. Jaime is preparing to go to her new job. The whole case caused the pharmacy to be shut down for the un-foreseeable future. Which considering all the known information, could be most likely permanent. That was very expected though.

King however has a chip in her shoulder. Even with this case, Jaime says he still tries to contact her with threats. She's come forward to the cops with it but they always throw her in some type of a loophole and basically don't wanna help her with all sorts of excuses. They are more than absolutely in his favor.

Teyana was right. This man truly is a powerful one.

Jaime having access to the case since she's also a part of it, has filled me in.

To summarize: King was money laundering. And in an attempt to cover himself up he did favors, some favors were incomplete and things got sloppy. King has been trying to set others up just to not take the fall.

To confirm, Teyana and Normani set up a meeting at the house and found some documents that confirmed this and a string of more things.

King won't go down easy, especially when there's too much proof. But he'll go down.

Jaime said it's just a matter of enough unquestionable proof.

There's one incident that I know of that Jaime doesn't know of and has been between the devil himself and I. Im sure that if somehow I could find evidence of it, I could put him up.

Man, ion even wanna think about it right now.

4oe starts trying to jump onto my lap.

"Oh shit, Mani, Jay got a puppy recently. he biting my nails."

"Awww, send me a picture when you can."

I'm keeping the small talk going in order to avoid the elephant in the room.

"Of course, baby. Have you done anything today?"

She sighs, "I cleaned, I've been moping around with these cats all day, they miss you so much too. Cookie might have to go to the vet tomorrow she doesn't wanna eat. I got a wonderful call and I've just been sat here all day."

"Call from who, Normani?"

I tense up a bit and sit up from my initial reclining position.

"It was Josh. he..."

This is such a weird timing why would he call conveniently after I left.

"He just asked me about how I was doing. it felt so weird and almost like there was someone else on the call. It was extremely weird."

"Do you think he could return home soon?"

"Yes, I mentioned this to Teyana and that's why I was focused on trying to get the guest room sorted out and I've been cleaning up until now. Some of your things I can camouflage as mine for now." Normani speaks in a more hushed tone. "Knowing him, he could pop up any second. He probably called to warn me without flat out saying it."

She's completely right.

"Stay safe, Okay, Mani. And if he pulls something I won't hesitate to come up there. I don't care about this case no more, I just need you out of this safe."

It stopped being just about me once I stumbled into that house.

I hear Normani's deep breath through the speaker of the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey. Let's not talk about that Nigga no more okay---"

"Megan, we can ignore it as much as we try to, he's still gonna end up being the main topic. it's--"

She's not wrong. But she sounds very defeated.

"Normani, did he say anything that stood out in the call?"

"I'm afraid to say."

I hum in understanding. This is a phone call after all, for her safety I prefer that detail be something she shares face to face. I've had enough of this nigga at this point.

Right then, jaime is ready to leave for work.

"Bye, Meg. Bye Normani! Aye, lemme know if you want to get some wings or something I can pick something up after work. Take care, whore."

"Bye, Jay!"

I hear the door close behind her and refocus on Normani.

"jay said Bye, she went off to work, my love."

Normani breaks down crying, "Baby, I just don't know what I'm gonna do without you."

"Hey, Mani, this will be over soon, I promise. Imma find a way to see you soon. don't give up, you can't let him win. Imma call Teyana or Ryan so they can come check up on you. Listen to me, Normani..."

___________

YAll, I have the issue where I will take a nap at 4/5pm and then wake up close to midnight. LMFAO it's 12:30am here so I was like, lemme fish these chapters and put them out.

Hope y'all are doing well.

Always remember that I love you and im rooting for you.

I also wanted to take this moment and express how hurt I am for Megan as a fan watching this trial play out. I We should all be showing her support and love because I can't even begin to imagine her mental state at this given time even though justice is on her side.

Also if you or someone you know has experienced some sort of assault or violence don't hesitate to seek help. I see you.

Take care.

Sincerely, Average.
