Best Friend

A mystery

Toni stood looking out the window at the large city of Los Angeles, Toni spun around as she looked over at everything in Babyface's penthouse everything looked so different from the last time she was here.

"Notice anything different?" Babyface asked, handing her a glass of champagne.

"You redecorated." Toni smiled, taking a sip from the champagne.

"I did. But..." Babyface placed his glass onto the table as he took her left hand into his.

"I got you this too." Babyface took out a Tiffany blue jewelry box.

Inside was a necklace with a key on it. A key chain. He took it out and Toni looked confused.

"The key to my heart, and to this penthouse. You always said you wanted your own penthouse, so this will be our penthouse." Babyface smiled.

Toni grinned. As she spun around lifting her hair up as he placed the necklace on her. Toni touched it and noticed it had the address engraved on it as well.

"Your so sweet handsome, I wish I could call you all mines. But... Your working it out for the sake of Peyton and that's a good thing." Toni smiled, wrapping her hands around his neck.

"Let's celebrate." Babyface grabbed his glass. But Toni...

"The Toni Braxton and Babyface way." She smirked. Putting her glass down as she grabbed his and put it down as well.

Toni grabbed him by his tie as she pulled him towards his penthouse bedroom.

"I like this celebration better." Babyface smirked lifting her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist, carrying her into the bedroom as he slowly laid her down onto the bed.

Toni laid onto Babyface's chest as she drew lazy circles on his chest. You could still here the noise all the cars were making from outside.

Babyface has his left right hand under Toni's tummy, and his left hand above his head. Toni had her right arm rested on his chest, as she drew lazy circles onto it.

Babyface looked up staring at the ceiling, as the sunset of the sun hit them threw the open curtains.

"Never knew I would love you this much. It's weird, how after 3 months. My love just crew bigger. And my heart just becomes heavier each time I look at you." Babyface spoke breaking the awkward silence between the two.

Toni smiled. As she looked up at him, finally looking down at her. As they both smiled. Toni lifted herself up as she sat onto his chest in a straddling manner.

"I love you too. Goodness do you always have to make such long speeches." They chuckled.

Letting her head down as their lips connected, firmly brushing against one another.

Babyface was finishing up his session, Ariana gathered her things. But suddenly couldn't find her navy blue blazer.

"Ummm... Babyface, didn't you by any chance see my blazer laying around here?" She asked him sweetly.

Babyface looked around because he had seen it laying on the sofa a few minutes ago, before Quincy came walking into the booth.

"It wall on that sofa a few minutes ago, before Quincy and his crew came in."

"Oh goodness. My grandpa gave it to me for my 18th birthday, now I lost it, it was the only thing I had of him since he died." Ariana sat down placing her hands over her face trying hard not to cry.

Babyface went and sat beside her. "I promise we'll get it back. Soon enough you'll have your blazer back again." Babyface smiled wrapping his hand around her shoulder.

Just as Antonio LA Reid came walking into the office.

"LA." Babyface gave him a head nod as he quickly got up.

"Face. What's wrong Ariana?" LA Reid looked down at Ariana as she quickly got up wiping her tears away.

"I lost my blazer."

"Did you have it in here or..."

Ariana nodded her head. "On that sofa." Babyface added. "And than it was gone right after Quincy and his crew left." Babyface grabbed his belongings.

"Well I'll just have to tell Maria to check the cameras to see if one of his crew members took it. Well start by looking at this ones footage."

Babyface almost choked on his own saliva as he looked into the direction where LA was pointing, at the little grey camera in the corner.

"That thing works?" Babyface asked, barely above a whisper.

"Yes." LA replied impersonating him.

Ariana looked between the two as she grabbed her things. "Please do."

"No!" Babyface shouted out the blue.

"What?" Ariana and LA asked in unison.

"I mean, I'll go tell Maria to check the cameras." Babyface gave a small smile.

Ariana smiled. LA was confused. "I'll go with you than-"

"No it's no need. I'll just go know than." Babyface said trying to avoid anymore conversation.

"But Maria has a day off today."

"Thank goodness."

"What?"

"I meant, goodness now whose gonna go check. Oh! I can go in by myself." Babyface said.

"You have a wife and daughter to take care of. Ill go check." LA requested, walking Ariana to the door.

"No."

Both spun around. "Come on Face. Nicole's probably waiting on you at home with Peyton."

Babyface had already lost the battle. He grabbed his things hoping LA wouldn't come back before he does. Tonight he'll be here to get that tape removed.

"Fine." Babyface finally gave in.
