Seattle, Washington
I wake up feeling the sun on my face.
"Rise and shine brother." Erik says.
"It's Saturday." I say to him rolling over.
"It's Monday somewhere." He says.
"What do you want?" I ask him sitting up feeling my back crack.
"You really slept here in your office." He says.
"You're saying that cause you don't know her like I do." I say to him.
"I remember that time in college she caught you coming out of Valerie Connors dorm room." He says.
"Scary damn day off my life, she was so calm, I was scared as hell but all she did was break up with me." I say.
"Stalked that damn girl for two months." He says laughing.
"I didn't t stalk her." I say to him.
"So you really want me to believe that you showing up to her aunts wedding was a coincidence?" He asked me.
"I tagged along with a friend that was invited." I say to him.
"Mhmm, lucky for you Valerie indeed up telling her the truth about what happened." He says.
"That's only because Lila threatened to be her ass if she didn't." I say standing up from the couch feeling a pain in back.
"I knew it." He says shaking his head laughing.
"Remind me to get a new couch." I say to him cracking my back.
"Why?, isn't this a one time thing?" He ask.
"I don't know." I say to him honestly.
"Just tell her the truth." He says.
"It might not be enough, she's already dealing with Mama and now this shit." I say grabbing the duffel bag.
"I can handle Mama for you." He says.
"You and I both know that no one handles Mama but Daddy and he ain't here." I say to him unbuttoning my shirt.
"So what are you going to do?" He ask curiously.
"I don't know." I say walking towards my office bathroom.

I'm at the office in an important meeting and I can do is keep checking my phone every five minutes. I've tried contacting Harmony all morning but she just ignores my calls and leaves my messages on delivered. I even had some flowers delivered at home and at her boutique but I haven't heard anything.
"Mr. Matthews?"
I look up to see everyone in the meeting staring at me.
"Yes." I say.
"What do you think?" Amber ask.
