Los Angeles, California

What a year I had. While I'm here I guess I'll catch a Clippers game. The first thing I want to do is get hammered. What the hell is going on with my life.

I was just sitting at a bar. Rethinking my whole life. Soon a very handsome man approached me and I as soon as I saw him my mind knew he was trouble, but my eyes couldn't resist him. We talked for hours. I regretted this day ever since. The day I became Mrs. Ali Gibson. Soon we had our first child, Demetrius Gibson. Sometimes i find myself saying, I'm still in this relationship just for my son. Because three years later I started to see the real Travan.

One day, Travan and I went out to eat with some neighborhood friends, while, our babysitter Priscilla watched the kids.

We were relaxing and talking to my Bestfriend, Denise. Just having a good time. When all of a sudden a familiar face was at the bar. As he stood there, later his face revealed to be Quan . What in the hell?

Ali - Girl, hide me! ( grabs Denise)
Denise - For what?

Motions her to the bar.
I guess I was too loud because he started to approach our table.

Denise - Hiding from him (points to Quan) girl he is cute. And you need to leave Travan. (Cough)

Ali - No, he is not!!!
..

Quan - Hello everyone, Hi Ali.

Denise - Hello, Denzel!

Ali - Stop it! (Addresses Denise)

Quan - Hi Ali!

Ali - Oh hey, how's life?

Travan - Who is this? (Jaw clinched)

Ali - This is...

Quan - I'm Ali's old childhood friend, and you are?

Travan - Her husband!

Quan - Husband? Wow I didn't know you were married.

I showed him my ring. Then Travan grips my thigh!

Travan - (Whispers) he better be just a friend.

Quan - My life is pretty much good, expect for the part that Nicole and I got a divorce.

Ali - Oh..

Denise - That's what you need!

Ali - Shut up!

Quan - I had to tell her about us.

Travan looked at me, with so much anger.

Ali - Oh, but what you doing in L.A.

Quan - After everything that happened oh hell I needed a vacation.

Ali - (Laughs), well...

Travan grips my thigh even tighter. So I speeded the conversation up.

Ali - Well I don't want to spoil your evening, but It is nice to seeing you again.

Quan - You too, bye!
