12:33 am

"What you doing?" Jhene asked

"Just got in the house." I replied flicking on the light to my room

"Talk bout it ain't no biggie. It's 12 in the morning and you just getting in on a school night." She carried on making me laugh

"Well mother sorry, but money needs to be made." I informed her kicking my Jordans off laying back on my bed.

"Well you don't have to sell to make that money Chris." She said softly

"What you know about that?" I questioned closing my eyes

"I know you don't have to do it. You're way too smart and have way too many people in your corner to do that." She spoke truly bothered

I didn't say anything in return. I do what I have to in order to keep my mama sitting high and pretty. I changed the subject to keep it on a light positive note.

"What are you doing up?" I asked

"Talking to the person who called me!" She replied smartly

"A! No need to be smart now!" I warned

"Bite me!" She replied more than likely rolling her eyes

"Be careful of what you wish for babe." I chuckled lightly taking my beanie off.

"Oh whatever!" She replied

"What's one thing you love and hate about yourself?" I asked randomly

"Uh I love that I have a good heart. And I hate that I'm always the one that loves more. That's my problem." She spoke softly making me more tired. She has a nice over the phone voice. It's not too loud, but not too soft where's you can't hear it, but just right. Very cute.

"Wow. Deep stuff." I mumbled

"I know. What about you?" She asked in return

"I love that I have a great personality, I hate that I care too much sometimes." I told her truthfully

"Mm I understand, it seems as if we have some of the same problems brown." She said cutely

"Maybe we can help each other fix them." I mumbled with my eyes still closed

"Maybe." Was the last thing I heard Jhene say before I heard her light snores fill the phone line. I laughed lightly to myself "good night beautiful" I mumbled before hanging up. I plugged my phone up and grabbed some boxers and sweats to take a shower. I'm past tired Ace working me to death.

*Jhene

"Jhene?" My dad called out

"Yeah?" I answered with my face buried into my pillows

"Get up"" he shook my leg

"Alright." I mumbled knowing I wasn't going to get up

"Jhene! Get up ." He said again

I kissed my lips before throwing the blankets back and standing up letting my feet meet the cold floor. "Thank you. You have 30 minutes" he said leaving

Who spit in yo coffee? I would be upset right now at the fact that it's early and he has an attitude....but I had an amazing night/morning due to Chris so I'll let him rock. I went to brush my teeth and wash my face then get dressed. I put on a pair of tan skinny jeans , Black last kings tee with a vintage camo Military jacket with My 2011 air Jordans. I topped my outfit off with my 2 gold chains and a sloppy bun. I grabbed my vibrating phone viewing my normal good morning text, but one stuck out from the rest.
