Diamond Brown
+2 days

Diamond sat in her parents house quietly as she tapped on her phone. "Diamond." He spoke. "Yes." She looked up.

"When you leaving?" Niani spoke. "Niani hush." He spoke. "Diamond I heard that you and Tj are a thing again? Is this true because I thought you were staying out of trouble." He explained.

"I'm not with tj. I haven't talked to him in almost 2 months." She spoke. "Well yall we're together at the mall." Niani spoke.

"Well he came. I didn't invite him." She spoke. "Dad I'm not with him." She spoke. "Well good." He spoke.

"Where's ya mama?" He asked. Diamond shrugged standing up. "I came to see her. Since she's not here I'll just leave. Bye daddy." She waved.

"Naw just wait for her." She spoke.

"I have to meet with a lawyer. I can't stay." She spoke. "A lawyer? What have you done Diamond?" He asked. "Nothing it's just the mother of the girl I assaulted. The girl killed herself while she was in jail and she's trying to take me to court again and get me charged with murder because the girl mentioned me in the note and the permanent cosmetic changes she had that led up to her taking her life." She explained.

He stared. "What? Diamond you shouldn't have messed with that lady-" diamond cut her off.

"I didn't mess with her. She seen me at church once and that's the only time I've seen her. But I switched churches because of that. It's all good dad. I have a really good lawyer." She spoke.

"Good lawyer? And how you afford it?" He stared. "I know someone who's related to her and she's not charging me." She shrugged.

"Hm well when you go to court?" He asked. "In about 3 months. They moved the date up." She spoke.

"Well good luck. Let me know if you need any help." He spoke. She nodded.

"Bye dad. Love you." She spoke. "Love you too." He spoke. She walked out of the house and to her car.

Her phone began ringing as she shut the door to her car. She answered the FaceTime call from Marcus.

"Hey." She spoke. "Good morning beautiful. Where you heading?" He asked as he sat the camera up and Continued to do something out of the frame that she couldn't see.

"Nowhere. I just left my parents house and I was about to go home but I could stop by." She spoke.

"Yeah come over. And then we can go to the mall or sum. Ion know I just wanna hang out." He shrugged.

"Okay. I'll come. Just text me the address again." She spoke. "Alright. Imma text you now." He grabbed his phone.

"Okay bye." She hung up. She started the car and started the AC before buckling up.

She received the text and typed it into her gps before starting on her way to his house.

She drove for almost 40 minutes before she arrived at the familiar house.

She pulled in the driveway and turned her car off. As always she sat in the car staring into space for minutes before snapping out of her thoughts.

She stepped out of the car and grabbed her phone and keys before locking the door.

She walked to his door after climbing up the few stairs leading up to his front door.

She rang the doorbell before lowering her hand.

Soon the door opened revealing Marcus who wore a wife beater displaying his large muscular arms that were covered in tattoos. He also wore black Nike shorts. He had a fresh line up and he wore the same gold watch and gold chain that he always wore.

"Wassup." He smiled showing off his perfect teeth. "Hi." She smiled weakly as she walked inside. She walked past him and heard pretty Ricky playing loudly.

She slipped her shoes off as he shut the door. "You just gon walk past me?" He grabbed her from behind and slipped his arms around her waist as he kissed her cheek.

"Can you make it juicy for me?? Oh I can make it juicy for youuuu." He sung to her making her laugh as he turned her around.

She smiled at him as he smiled at her. He grabbed her face and kissed her lips.

"Hold on baby let me get dressed and we can go."

Merry Christmas you guys 🤗 don't forget the reason for the season! Stay safe.
