Lupe had made her way back up to New York, I was honestly missing her since she had left. I had grown so used to her being around that sometimes Erica would constantly be asking if she was being replaced.

"Alright babe just made it home." I hear come from the other side of the phone, rattling as I can hear her keys being placed in the bowl that we had designated for it.

"How was the game?" I asked as I heard her slightly shuffle around.

"Not bad, I scored a couple of goals." She said as if it was nothing, she had always been like this. She had always been one of the best and never took it to heart that she was that good.

I heard the water turn on as she stayed slightly quiet.

"Babe you, ok?" I asked as I heard her sigh before I could hear her grabbing the phone.

"Yes and no, just been hearing about Aaron." She said as my brows furrowed together. "Babe Aaron from back home, things happen, and he is taking care of his sister. Things are getting bad for him; he has a future with football."

She basically rambled as I continued to let her finish what was going through her mind.

"So what can we do to help?" I asked as she started talking about how she and Maverick were thinking about starting a foundation (let me know y'all's thoughts 13 89? Something else?)

"I just want to help; I mean it's like the way I've had it easier than most and I just want to be able to give back. I've been talking to a few people... including your dad, he was walking through a few ideas." She said as I continued to listen to her thoughts, she is telling me everything that she had been discussing with Maverick. "I just want others to have these opportunities."

"So why don't you do it babe?" I tell her as I hear her pause before humming to what I said.

"Maybe we can talk about it more when we are in the same place?" She asked as I completely agreed with her. The two of us continuing to talk about our days and what is coming soon, she had a game a couple of days before the Billboard Awards.

"Babe are you sure about the color?" Lupe asked as I held the phone to my ear, she was in her fitting for her suit for the Billboards.

"Yes, it should match my outfit." I told her as she slightly let out a gruff, a laugh escaping my lips. "Come on babe you are going to look so good."

"Fine if you say so baby." She told me as I heard her shift once again before I received a picture of her in the suit.

"I told you that you will look amazing." I said as I pulled the phone once again back against my ear.

"You are only saying that because you are married to me and are stuck with me forever." She stated letting out a laugh.

My eyes rolling at her comment before I tell her "Well you were the one who put a ring on it, now you are stuck with me forever."

"Forever will never be enough." She finally said as a smile came across my face.

"It really wouldn't be." I said as I could hear her laugh. "So I will see you in a few days right?"

"Mhmm I will be there baby." She said as we stayed on the phone for a few more minutes, before it was finally time for me to go.
