Alexis

"So what Chris get you for Christmas?" Key asked me as I checked the turkey.

"He didn't give me anything." I said grabbing Caden's bottle.

"I'm sure he got you something." She said.

"I don't really care. He just been acting funny lately."

"What you mean?"

"He's been catching attitudes lately and been leaving and all that."

"That doesn't sound like Chris. Has he said anything about problems?" Key asked as I thought about the one thing he's been bugging me about for the past days.

"He keeps asking me where I want to move."

"Where is that?"

"I don't know. I finally adjust to being in California and the way things are and now he wants to just move."

"His reason for moving?"

"He said he's done with the game." I said thinking back to our conversation.

"Chris is through with the game?" She asked shocked.

"That's what he told me." I said before walking out of the kitchen to the living room. "Can you watch your son while I cook?"

"I was about to go out to my Mom's and go meet up Mike." Chris said looking down at me.

"I need you to watch him. I have to cook and Key is doing all the work." I said.

"Lex, I gotta go." He said, "I'll just take him with me."

"Not in that weather. He already has a cold Chris. He doesn't need to go outside." I said as Chris rolled his eyes. "Make me knock yo ass out." I said.

"Chill out." He said. "I got plans."

"Whatever. Go." I said rolling my eyes, picking up Caden and heading back to the kitchen. I swear he acts so selfish that it makes me want to strangle him. I felt his presence behind me as I sat Caden in his car seat on the counter.

"Come here." He said tugging me to the laundry room. "Quit acting like this. I gotta go handle some things and then I'll be back." He said as U rolled my eyes.

"Go handle what? The so called job that you said you'd quit? Whatever Chris, I don't wanna hear it." I said turning my back to him heading towards the kitchen.

"No no noooo." He said pulling me by my waist back into the laundry room.

Chris

"Need me to get anything while I'm out?" I asked fixing my pants. When she acting up put that D on her.

"No." She said like a whisper.

"You sure?"

"I'm sure." She said before I pecked her lips. "I got something for you later." I said winking.

"Okay." She said smiling a little.

Baby girl, it's faaaaaaaaaar from what you expect it to be.

"Why didn't you bring my grandbabies?" Momma asked.

"It's too cold to be bringing them out in the cold." I said sitting down.

"What brings you here today Chris?"

"Mom, it's Christmas." I chuckled lightly.

"I know what it is." She laughed slapping my knee.

"I came to talk to you about this." I said pulling out the box that held Lex's ring.

"What's this?" She picked up the box. "Chris, are you proposing to Alexis?" She looked at me as I smiled big at the thought. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

"Christmas dinner. Which reminds me, you might wanna come." I said.

"I can't baby. Chase has a dinner party to attend." She said sighing loudly.

"I take it you don't wanna go?" I asked as she continued looking at the ring.

"Not really, but I'll be fine. I have to support him." She said handing me back the ring. "I hope you do right by this girl Christopher."

"I will Mom." I smiled thinking about her.

"Okay go ahead and head out." She said.

"You kicking me out?"

"I love you son, but you gotta go." She said laughing and patting my back.

"Alright. Bye Momma." I hugged and kissed her.

"Bye Christopher." She said before closing the door.

My momma.

"Damn, you look rough." I said to Mike as he got in the car.

"Shut up. Where we going?" He said buttoning up his shirt.

"To the warehouse. Dion is there waiting on us."

"Aight." He said before pulling a blunt out his ear and lighting it.

"Yo funny looking ass." Dion said to Mike as we got out the car.

"Yo little punk ass." He said dapping Dion.

"So wassup?" I asked blowing smoke out.

"Ummm... Tiny said one of the workers is stealing money."

"Stealing money? How much we talking?"

"About 2 G's a week."

"How long this been going on?"

"Almost a month."

"A month? Where the fuck are the niggas that are suppose to be watching the money flow?" I said as my mood switched. Dion went silent. "D, what the fuck is going on?"

"Jayceon was killed last night."

"Last night?" I asked confused. "Where at?"

"Coming from a deal."

"So Jayceon is dead and I got nobody watching the flow? Fucking great." I said taking one last hit of the blunt. "Way to start Christmas." I said more to myself. I'll have to handle this later.

Too much on my plate now.
