"Yo where you been at? I called you the other day and you never hit me back"

I roll my eyes at Maisen as I walk in the courtyard.

"I been busy, auntie here?"

"Nah she picked up a extra shift at work or something, talking about she need to stay busy. Why wassup, you good?" He questions looking over me for the slightest bit of anything seeming out of place.

"Yes Maisen I'm fine, I just wanted to see her before I left but I'll come over another time, I just came to get a pair of Giuseppe's I left" When I moved out I didn't take everything but I took majority of everything and I happened to leave one of my favorite pair of heels, which I noticed a few days ago because I was going to where them to dinner.

"Yo I'll be right back" He tells his friends and I roll my eyes knowing he was about to escort me upstairs like I hadn't walked myself up there a million times.

"You seriously do the most" I shake my head softly chuckling as we head inside the building.

"It's some new niggas around here and I don't trust niggas" He simply states as we walk upstairs.

Walking down the hall he opens the door for me and I walk in going back to my room to get the heels, I was trying to be in and out cause I still had to go home and get started on dinner, everything was ready and waiting to be cooked.

It doesn't take me long to find what I was looking for since half of everything was gone, grabbing the box I turn the closet light off before walking back in the living room.

"Yo Meg when I call, please answer" Maisen stares at me and I playfully roll my eyes but nod.

"Okay" I promise as my phone starts vibrating in my hand.

"Who is amor? That's who got this big ass rock on ya finger?" He looks at me curiously with a raised brow making my heart rate nervously speed.

"Mind your business" I softly chuckle walking around him, quickly turning around as my phone is snatched from my hand.

"Maisen give me my phone back!" I reach for it and he laughs softly pushing me back before running down the hallway and I chase him down as he heads for his room.

"Give me my phone!" I smack the door, I didn't even understand how he was still this fast with all the weed he smoked.

"Maisen pleaseee" I beg praying he didn't answer my phone as the other side of the door goes silent.

I jump as a loud crash sounds and the door swings open, his eyes full of rage as he stares down at me.

"I promise we were going to tell you" My voice was small and I could feel my eyes welling with tears.

"That's why you was suddenly in a rush to move out? So you could fuck cardi in peace?" His voice is calm but I knew he was infuriated, he just never raised his voice at me.
