Hey she say again Niles looked up watching a caramel skin, petite woman walked toward him. She had a slim average body. Curvy hips and thighs that looked as if she worked out at the gym. Tone and fit. she had sexy red lipstick on her full lips and long wavy hair down her mid back. Her black almond eyes gaze in on him she spoke again you ok? I guess I'm as good as I can be. Are you from around here? She asked again yes sort of, stayed in them apartments across the street. oh really me too, when? A long time ago. you look familiar, what's your name? If you don't mind me asking. Its deniles but Niles is cool. Niles Jones? She say growing excited yeah that's me he looked at her a little lost. do I know you? It's me! Alicia Merriweather! Niles looked up at her sizing her up again. Damn Alicia? Yeah from the apartments. a lot has changed I see Niles Say extending his arms to hug her she did the same. How are you? She asked sizing him up as well as his body was more broad and built. He was now 6"0 and a little darker in skin tone. I guess I'm okay just got out of prison. Came back to see the building burned and boarded up. Trying to figure out my next move. I heard about your mom, I'm so sorry, she was a wonderful woman. You could tell she loved you. I know you was just trying to protect her. Thank you, the courts didn't think so. The justice system is screwed up Alicia say . so how are you? He decided to change the subject. what's been going on with your life? Well I'm in my last year of college, I go to Wayne State University I'm studying nursing. I got my associates in applied science so once I graduate I'll have my bachelors degree. Trying to become a family physician so I have some years ago. That's what's up, look at you school girl. You stay around here? Yeah I live around the way. got my own little apartment. I work at Detroit Recieving as an LPN. So you doing it big huh? I'm making it Alicia chime in with a smile. you keep that ambition. I will Alicia and Niles sit for a minute continuing to conversate and catch up. Look I know you're out on your own and you have nowhere to go right now, I would just hate myself if I walked away without offering you some help. If you like, you could stay at my place for a little while at least until you get yourself together. You don't mind a jail bird in your home? You're not a jailbird you're my friend. Okay niles say with a smile.
