Veronica "Ronnie" Chandler is deaf and because of her disability she has been sheltered her entire life. What happens when Lorenzo White moves in next door?
I sat my stuff down at my station and was greeted my by ex girlfriend Scarlett.
Scarlett - hey Renzo
Renzo - hey
Scarlett - it's nice to see you again. I never thought you would come back after what happened.
Renzo - Scarlett don't sit here and pretend like you didn't try to get me killed and got my older brother killed instead.
Scarlett - Well I'm sorry about that-
Renzo - that apology won't bring my brother back. My 4 year old niece still doesn't have a father because of you.
Scarlett - Renzo I really miss you
Renzo - I haven't thought about you at all.
She walked off.
I sighed. I partially blame myself for my Leonidas's death too. My brother told me to stop selling drugs because he saw my potential with my artwork. He really wanted me to work in his tattoo parlor, and after he died he left it to me , but since I was away for 2 years in France , his wife Teana ran the shop.
Leo's death fucked me up pretty bad so I needed to get away from everything, especially Scarlett. I never understood why she wanted me dead because it's not like I ever did anything to harm her while we were together.
...................................
I knocked on Teana's door and she answered and hugged me.
Teana - Renzo.
Renzo - hey T. Where's Leona?
Teana - she's in her room.
She let me in and I went to my niece's room. She saw me and her eyes lit up.
Leona - uncle Renzo
Renzo - hey sweetie.
Teana - Renzo how are you?
Renzo - I'm good. France was fun.
Teana - did you actually enjoy it or did you have different woman in your bed most nights
Renzo - I had different woman every night but I took a vow of celibacy
Teana - for how long? 12 hours.
Renzo - T you are funny but I'm serious.
Teana - Renzo I've known since you were 15 boy, you can't fooled me all you do is fuck.
Renzo - well I'm good on that for a while. I'm a changed man.
Leona - I'm glad you're home uncle Renzo
Renzo - me too Lee
Veronica Chandler
I sat across from David , feeling my stomach turn. I don't really like David but my mom does. She is always going on and on about how me and David are a good match. My mom doesn't know what I want in a partner and just picked him because he reminds her of my dad when he was younger. She'd do better to be with him , rather than me.
I got up and went outside seeing Renzo and some lady outside his apartment, arguing.
Renzo - Arianna please leave me alone. Man I told you back in Paris that I was done with you.
Ari - But I traveled from Paris to be with you.
Renzo - that was a waste of time.
Renzo looked at me.
Renzo - hey Bambi
Ronnie - hey
Arianna - who's she? Are you fucking her?
Renzo - chill out. She's my neighbor.
Arianna - you're a liar. Lorenzo I'm not playing with you. You're my man.
Renzo - probably in your delusions but sweetheart this is reality and we ain't together. You was just something I wanted to fuck on and tell what to do but I've grown now.
He shut the door open and she turned her attention to me.
Arianna - stay away from him.
Ronnie - I just met the man yesterday. I'm good
Arianna - what the hell is that shit in your ears
Ronnie - hearing aid
Arianna - you don't look deaf.
I rolled my eyes
Arianna - you actually aren't a threat then since you're disabled.
I walked back into my apartment. What does she mean by that?
