I left home and hopped into my car. I stopped at a pay phone then I called my assistant.
"Hey may I speak to Jill?"I asked.
"Hold on,"her husband said.
"Hello,"she answered.
"Hey Jill could you do me a favor?"I asked.
"Yea of course,"she said.
"Could you find where a Gary Beckford lives please?"I asked.
"Sure,"she said,"hold on."
I waited and waited and she finally gave me an answer.
"Uhh he lives on E Jefferson Boulevard but Toni that's right down by South Central and Compton why are you looking for this Gary,"she asked,"That's a dangerous area."
"I don't know I just have to speak to him,"I said.
"Well be careful,"she said.
"Okay and if I see Eazy E and Ice Cube I'll bring you an autograph,"I said making her laugh.
"You're silly goodnight be safe,"Jill said.
"I will thanks goodnight,"I responded,"But do me another favor."
"What is it?"she asked.
"Don't tell Daniel where I'm going if he asks okay,"I said.
"You have my word,"she said hanging up.
After my short convo I got back into my car and drove down the street. I realized that I still didn't know which house was his so I looked for the car. Luckily I found it. I drove onto the driveway holding my head down so no one would recognized me and when I made it to the door I knocked.
Who is it!
I didn't respond hoping that he'll open the door anyway and he did.
"Hey,"I said.
"Toni what are you doing here and how do you know where I live?"he asked.
"Look that's not important I'm just happy I found you,"I said.
"Come in it's kind of chilly outside,"he said letting me in.
"Nice crib,"I said looking around shaking like crazy.
"Thanks,"he said.
"You're welcome,"I said back.
"Well what is it?"he asked.
"What's what?"I asked.
"Why did you come?"he asked.
"I uh came to say I apologize for the way I've been acting lately you know with my attitude and all,"I said.
"Oh...okay thanks for that,"he said,"You can sit."
I followed him to the couch and I sat down looking around trying to figure out the best words to say. My heart is pounding right now and he looks so good. I watched as he switched shirts I'm assuming he's getting ready for bed.
"Gary?"I said standing up and walking towards him.
"What?"he asked looking up at me with those eyes.
"Did you....did you mean all those things you said you know when we were in the kitchen that day?"I said shaking a bit.
"Yess I did,"He started,"I don't like the way he treats you."
"I'm trying,"I said,"I'm trying to get away trust me I am."
"And I want to help you,"he said.
