Nyeesha Brooks

[few days later]

"Good morning Norma" I greeted her.

"Hey Nyeesha, I need to speak with you." She said as I nodded my head following her into her office. "I spoke with the regional manager and they did not like what I told them about you and your tactics."

"Okay and?" I asked not really concerning about someone not liking my work.

The fuck you hire me for then?

"I'm going to have to let you go" she told me.

"Okay," I said simply as she continued staring at me.

"That's it?" She asked.

"Yeah, what you want me to do? Beg you not to fire me? That's not in my blood. I'll be fine, it was nice working with you Norma." I said as I shook her hand before leaving her office going to my old one to retrieve my things.

"I'll actually come back later for these things." I told her as I headed out the front door.

Since Chance just dropped me off and he's probably already at the studio, I'll just take the bus home. I decided to call Pat letting him know I'll need to be let in. I don't have a key and I've never thought anything of it because Chance takes me everywhere and we're always together so I didn't really need one.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Hey Pat. How are you?"

"Pretty good, you?" He asked.

"I'm doing well, I was calling because I'm on my way to Chance's home and I need to get in. I don't have a key and I don't want to bother him while he's at the studio." I explained.

"Where are you? I can come and pick you up."

"I can take the bus" I told him. "I should be there in like 45 minutes"

"Nope, I see you." He said as he pulled up right in front of me.

I hung up my phone and hopped in the front seat of the GMC. I ain't never been up here with him before. It was a different vibe up here.

"What were you doing?" I asked curiously.

"On my way to the studio. You're coming with me, I don't want you moping around"

"How you know I got fired?" I asked.

"You're a hard worker and you wouldn't be going home right now if it was your choice so I just assumed."

"Oh" was all I said as he pulled up in front of the studio.

"Yo." Pat greeted everyone.

"Hey" I said as I waved before getting comfortable on one of the couches observing everyone's behavior.

"I set up that event for the youth on Saturday" Pat told Chance. "We just gotta get the food and we're all set and ready to go"

"Thanks bro," he said to him before he came and sat right in front of me.

"Wassup?" I asked him.

"Why aren't you at work?" He asked.

"I got fired" I chuckled. "Its all good though babe" I said before I reached up and pecked his lips while playing with his fingers.

"Forreal?" He asked shocked.

"Yeah but it's cool I ain't tripping. You using your laptop?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said. "I actually got you one, it's at home. I was going to surprise you again today."

"Stop buying me shit." I said as I playfully punched his arm.

"Aight that's it." He said. "I gotta" he started as he pointed to his chest.

I was so confused.

"Gotta what?"

"Do you not remember my tattoo that you joked all about?"

"Ohhh yeahh" I laughed. "I'll just be chilling right here until you're done working, I'll probably take a nap." I admitted.

"Sleepy head ass" he said before he kissed my cheek and proceeded to create some master pieces with his friends.

I woke up from my nap to a lot of commotion.

"You's a goofy, you's a goofy" I heard Chance yelling to some random females as he recorded them on his phone waking me out of my slumber.

I looked at my watch reading the time: 2:42pm. How the fuck was I sleep for almost 6 hours? I slowly got up and yawned before using the bathroom.

"Hey Ny," Taylor greeted me.

"Hey Tay." I said smiling. "How are you?"

"Good, you?"

"I'm doing well, thanks." I said before I took my usual seat on the couch.

"You good?" Chance asked, well more like slurred, to me as he took a seat next to me holding a red solo cup.

"What's in there?" I asked curiously hoping he wasn't drinking this early.

"I don't even know, here take a sip" he said as he put the cup up to my lips as I started smelling the aroma.

"Baby it's too early to be drinking." I said as I put the cup down.

"Why you being a party pooper?" he asked as he grabbed the cup again drinking all of the contents inside.

I know he is not coming for me.

I ignored his question and just side-eyed him.

"You ready to go? Or nah?" I asked as I got up from my seat.

"Nah." He said as he slid his hand down his face.

"Okay, see you later" I said getting angry.

"Bye" he coldly stated.

"Hey Pat, can you please take me to Chance's home?" I asked hoping he would.

"Yeah I was heading out anyway." He said before we walked out together.

"You're leaving the sesh rather early," he spoke as I buckled my seatbelt.

"Yeah not feeling it today,"

"I completely understand. My daughters would love to meet you," he said. "Chance is always talking about you as their new aunt."

"Aww how old are they? And Chance can't keep his mouth shut" I chuckled.

To be honest that was cute as hell. Chance showing me off to everyone. Not physically being there but still, he's sharing my spirits with the people he loves.

"2 and 5, Faith and Hope, my baby girls." He smiled which made me smile.

Pat was probably an amazing father.

"Aww I can't wait to meet them, I love babies." I cooed as he pulled up to Chance's home.

We both got out and he opened the door for me.

"Thanks Pat, I owe you one" I said as I gave him a side hug.

"No problem," he said before he left.

I then went to my room and packed a suitcase for a few days. I think Chance and I need some space and time apart. It was all "uphill" for awhile now it's not so great.

I just wonder if he really thought I was a party pooper and if he was gon replace me. Shit just let me know now so I could get the fuck. I think me losing my job and Chancelor acting out today is really affecting me.

I think I actually love Chancelor which is why I told him drinking early like that wasn't even cool. I actually care about his health and his well-being but I guess he can't seem to understand that. It's cool though, I'll be fine all alone. I called a cab and it soon came moments later. I grabbed my suitcase and purse and locked his door before getting into the cab and being on my way.
