Desire felt her heart break seeing who was in the pictures she was sent she choke on her sob feeling betrayed she couldn't believe two of the closest people to her slept with each other.

" oh my god" she was slowly panicking she didn't wanna believe what she just seen. Her heart was beating fast and her breathing was out of control as she thought over how Que been acting the last two weeks it made sense.

" baby where you at?" Desire heard as Que opened the bed room door holding a bouquet of flowers her favorite.

" did you fuck her?" Was all she screamed at him catching Que off guard as his dark skin paled in front of her.

" I can explain" he said fast he was slowly panicking he thought he would have time to tell her Simone was blackmailing him asking him for thousands of dollars daily.

" you can explain explain what nigga I seen the fucking pictures the fucking proof is in the pudding how fucking could you?" She asked throwing the iPhone at him.

Que didn't need to pick up the phone to see what she saw he knew what was on the screen.

" just listen please" he plead with her seeing her grab her bag "we had an argument that day i left needing a drink i went to the bar i ran into ya cousin i cursed her out about what she did she stormed off and I kept taking shots i blacked out and when i woke up she was next to me baby you know i would never do no shit like that to you" Que explained himself.

Desiree stopped in place listening to what he was saying she was fighting with herself to believe him.

Seeing that he had her attention he finished the story "when I realized who was next to me I jumped up she laughed she had this planned baby I wouldn't do that I love you desire I know shits been rocky but I never needed to step out ever and she's been blackmailing me since" he told her walking around the bed to where she stood crying softly.

" why would she do this to me?" Desiree voice cracked she didn't understand what type of vengeance her cousin had against her.

" Ima kill that bitch " Que said seriously he had enough before he stormed out the bedroom grabbing his gun off the dining room table leaving out the apartment.

Desiree knew she should chase him and stop him but something in her turned cold and something evil started brewing inside of her heart.

PRESENT DAY

***
Aaliyah nerves were shot as he stuck the key into the front door of the two bedroom nycha apartment.

As usual there were bottles scattered on the floor the apartment held a consent smell of cigarettes, she let out a sigh once she noticed her mother or her boyfriend wasn't home.

Rushing into her bedroom she locked the door and pushed the dresser in front of it in hopes that it would keep them out.

Pulling out the moneys he made today working at the shop and stuffed it inside the slit she made inside her twin size mattress.

" Aaliyah do you have that rent money I told ya ass you can't stay here rent free" the voice of her mother Sunday was heard as she entered the apartment. " open this damn door now" her mothers voice was heard on the other side as she banged on the door twisting and turning the knob.
