"You really not talking to me?" Trill asked Cali.
Cali was sitting on the couch watching tv ignoring him.
"So you're mad at me though. It wasn't that serious Cali."
"Trill shut up and leave me alone."
"Oh you talking now?" Trill grabbed her by her waist and pulled her against him on the couch.
"Get off me. We not cool Brandon."
"Tell me what you mad about?" He said kissing the side of her face repeatedly.
"First off coming home that late. Brandon I don't ask for much but the things I do ask of you I expect you to do them."
"I know but last night was one time that I messed up. Cut me some slack."
"No because then you'll think it's ok and continue doing it when it's not."
"I'm sorry." He kissed the side of her mouth then backed up looking at her.
"One day you'll have to choose Brandon and when that day come and it's a hard decision for you I'll pick for you but you won't like what I'll choose."
Cali didn't plan on falling in love with him but she did and she wanted more than just a man that ran the streets.
"Damn." Was all Trill said. He knew he would have to give the life up one day but now since Cali actually mentioned something about it made him really realize it couldn't be forever.
"I see more in you Brandon. You could do so much more than the streets, you know you can. I love you and I'm not making you decide right now."
Cali got up and went to answer the door. Trill reached out and squeezed her butt before she could walk fully away.
"What the fuck you doing here?" Cali asked Vanessa who was standing at her doorstep.
"Where Trill?" She said trying to step in.
Cali took her hand and pushed her back. "This our house so you stay your ass right out here."
"I will always come before you because I did have his first child." She said and rose her shirt up showing a mark from surgery.
Cali not knowing it was from getting her appendix removed just stared down at it until she dropped her shirt.
"Don't have shit else to say I see- hey Brandon I need to talk to you."
Cali looked behind her up at Trill with a blank face.
"Bitch get off my property before I remove you myself. " Cali said turning back to Vanessa.
"I'm not-."
"You got two seconds." Cali said
cutting her off."Shut-."
Cali connected her fist with her face instantly hearing a cracking noise.
Once Vanessa fell to the ground Cali got on top of her sending blow after blow to her face. She been waiting for this moment and she had built up anger."Chill out." Trill grabbed Cali pulling her off.
"You crazy bitch." Vanessa cried holding her face.
"Let me finish." Cali said trying to get out of his hold.
"Chill ya ass out and go in the house. What the fuck is wrong with you." Trill said looking directly at her.
Cali looked at him wondering why he was acting like she was in the wrong.
"Yo you cool?" Trill asked helping Vanessa up.
