"Hey Karina!" Jazmine said as she entered the suite.

"Hey Jazmine! How you been?" Karina said as she braided someone's hair.

"I've been good. I just came to see if you wanted to grab something to eat since I was in the area."

"Oh yea perfect. I'll be done in like 20 minutes." Jazmine sat down and watched what was on the TV. After 20 minutes, Karina was finished and she grabbed her purse. "I'm ready."

The two ladies decided to go to a popular brunch spot not far from the suite.

"So what's been up with you Jazmine? How was Atlanta?"

"It was good. The family was excited to see me and I even told my brother about you and Keyvon. He said it was crazy we even crossed paths." She chuckled.

"It really is. It's crazy how life works. I see your hair still looks good." Karina smiled as she looked at her hair.

"Oh yes girl. I've never had a silk press last this long." She said.

"Well I'm honored to be your first." Karina placed her hand on her chest. Jazmine laughed. "So girl you got a boyfriend or anything? We never talked about our romantic situations."

"I am single girl. Only thing romantic that's happened was this one night thing I had before you did my hair."

"What was it like? I've never had a one night stand." Karina leaned forward with a smile.

"It was so good. I wouldn't really say it was a one night stand though because me and the guy were texting for a little while before we actually had sex. But then he told me he had a girl and cut things off." Jazmine shrugged.

"Did you know he had a girlfriend?!" Karina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course not. I wouldn't have slept with him if I knew." Jazmine said honestly.

"Well who was it?!" Before Jazmine could say anything, Karina's phone rang.

"Hold that thought." Karina said and she answered. "Hey baby."

"Wassup? What you doing?"

"I'm out to eat with a friend."

"Who you wit?"

"Chris stay out my business." Karina laughed but when Jazmine heard Chris's name, her eyes widened a little. She fixed her face and listened closely so she could hear the other person's voice.

"Yo business is my business. But I just wanted to let you know we made it to North Carolina."

"Oh yayyy. First show is tomorrow right?"

"Yea. Imma let you enjoy your lil brunch or whatever. I love you."

"I love you too." Karina hung up the phone. "I'm so sorry girl."
