Valerie's pov
———————
I woke up to my phone buzzing,yet I couldn't find it. Once I did, I picked it up.'miss call from Olivia'
I looked at the confused as I continued to scroll down my notifications 'miss call from jamal x10.' I read the text he had sent as well 'call me when you get up'
'Call me back,dude. HELP!' I get even more confused.I sit up and stretch, still looking at my texts.'Do you know where Cesar is. No one else is answering.' Shit. Olivia doesn't know. Good thing, isn't it? I don't know? I get up and take a quick shower to wake me up more. Once I'm done, I get dressed and dry my hair. The whole time, I was getting ready. The fax Oscar is making Cesar kill latrelle wouldn't leave my brain.
I sat at the dining table eating cereal with my leg bouncing anxiously, Maria looked at me, worried, "Are you okay, mija?" She asked. I didn't reply. I just stared at my own soggy cereal, "Valerie?" She asked again,"Huh? Oh,yeah, I'm fine. " My head snapped up."Is this about Cesar?" She asked,"You know?" I asked this time."Of course, I know that's all Diego would talk about after you fell asleep, but mjia Cesar will figure this out." She reassured. I sigh before speaking. "Yeah, he will. It's Cesar. "
"I'm not hungry, thanks, Maria," I say, standing up and placing a kiss on her cheek and walking back to my room. I put my shoes on to go see what jamal wanted. I walked out to the living room. "Where you going?" Diego asked,"going to hand out with jamal, " I say, fixing my shirt "okay be safe. " I nodded before leaving and walked back to the nursery.
I saw jamal shirtless and talking to a box, I noticed his shirt was tied around his head? Um... okay. He started to kiss the box. "Am I interrupting something?" I spoke up. Jamal quickly stopped and put the box down. "Where have you been?" he asks."I'm sorry, I didn't see any of your messages until this morning." I explained."What's all this?" I asked "well after you left,very rudely, I was about to leave until I found this one of these have to have the money in it." Jamal explained."I think I have arthritis. Would it be juvenile arthritis? Am I still a juvenile?" He added,
"Let me help you." I walked up to the stack of boxes and took one opening it,"women, please! There's an order to this. Bottom to top, left to right, " Jamal said behind me, I opened the box, and there was a small piece of paper in it. I took the paper out and dropped the box as I turned around to show jamal the paper. "I hate you," he shook his head. "I love you too," I said with a sarcastic smile. "Let me see what you got," jamal rushed up and looked at the paper.
"What are you guys doing? This is trespassing, " Ruby's voice appeared, I looked up, then back at the paper, then back at Ruby with a confused look, "Um... is there anything you want to tell us?" Jamal asked as I burst out laughing."About what?" Ruby asked confused, he had makup on his face. I motioned to his face. "That whole thing," I said, still laughing. "I was helping Olivia with a makeup test for her quince when jamal 911ed, Right side's glamo, left side's chic," Ruby explained.
