Babe!", I yelled as I walked into our condo. Dave emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of oodles of noodles , in just boxers. He walked over and kissed me . "How was class babe?", he asked plopping on the couch ,turning on the television. "I got a 93% on my statistics exam", I smiled as we did our secret handshake. "That's my girl !", he told me focusing on the TV.
I rolled my eyes as I laid across his lap. I scrolled down my Instagram , before posting a selfie from earlier today.

"Babe , what you think about this picture ?", I asked trying to get his attention from the TV. He looked down at my phone , "My girl bad", he smiled , I smacked his arm and got up heading upstairs toward the bedroom. I needed to pack , me and Dave were leaving for Miami tonight and I hadn't even decided what suitcase to take . Walking into to my side of our walkin closet.

My train of thought was broken as my phone begin to ring , seeing it was my little sister Kaiden I smiled to myself and answered. "Hey baby , how are you?", I asked answering the phone . "Brae , I need you . I'm having a fashion show this weekend and I need your support. Forgot to tell you", she spoke . "Why didn't you tell me , I'm leaving for Miami tonight I'm sorry", I told her feeling horrible . I had not seen my siblings in months and I was due a visit anyday now. " It's ok , I should have remembered to tell you ", she mumbled .
While we caught up , I packed , I wasn't gonna take much because we always come back with more bags anyway . It took me an 1 hour to grab some essentials , as I lugged them down the steps . Hearing multiple voices , I saw Korey and Rashad in the living room with Dave.They were discussing business so I walked into the kitchen. If Rashad were here , I know my bestfriend Lauren was here too.
"Brae!!" , I yelled to Lauren as she sat eating my damn Doritos.

I snatched my damn Doritos and started eating them. "Okay , rudeness . Guess who is going with you to Miami",she said as she did a little shimmy dance. "Girl, that will be great , the guys have business to take care of and I won't be alone . All those stupid dinner meetings and fancy restaurants", I rolled my eyes just thinking about them.
Dave was into some major shit with the Columbians, I just minded my business. I knew we didn't live this lavishly from him being on the corners . I never asked many questions , but the streets talk and my baby was the man in Harlem . Once a month we traveled to Miami to meet with his connect and his wife , sometimes Lauren and Rashad would come . Rashad and Dave had been friends since they were 5 years old , and I met Lauren in high school. Her and out best friend Chanel were my only friends . I was never a social butterfly at all. I didn't trust females , I had my sisters and brother for that; Korey, Arielle and Kaiden . Those were the only friends I needed , in this lifestyle you can't make too many friends . There was always someone talking , the rumors were fine but once they get into your life it could be dangerous ... ________________________ Sorry for such a short chapter , I am just trying to feel my way around the site as a writer . I was trying to do it from my phone and that was very hard so the next chapter I will type on my laptop. I've had this story in my laptop for so long and I am just making some adjustments as I go along. Please leave feedback and let me know what you think .
