LALANI'S POV

I woke up this morning feeling better than I did last night. I looked at my phone and I was fully charged. I got up and I went downstairs to make some cereal and my phone rang informing me I had a text. I looked at it and decided to call Keondre back.

PHONE CALL

Keondre: "Good morning beautiful. I thought you were going to text me back last night"

Me: "I was but I started feeling bad and when I got home I went to bed"

Keondre: "I'm sorry. Are you feeling any better?"

Me: "Yeah I feel way better. Look I don't want to fight anymore"

Keondre: "I know and my ways were all the way wrong. You trusted me and I took it for granted. I can't apologize enough, I don't know what I was thinking"

Me: "I forgive you Keondre but can you be on my side and help me stay away from people like that instead of you being the person I want to stay away from?"

Keondre: "Yes I promise. I don't like being on your bad side. That's not a good sight to see"

Me: "I know", I said chuckling. "So how is your tour going?"

Keondre: "It's going good right now. I mean I wish they didn't let my ex get on the bus but other than that everything is fine"

Me: "Well that's good and what does she do since she's on tour with you but y'all don't date anymore"

Keondre: "She's the costume director"

Me: "Oh. You know you can get another one of those and I've seen the costumes for your show. And firing her might be best for you and everybody else"

Keondre: "I know I've been looking but I haven't seen anyone yet so I can't fire her until I actually have another person to do the job"

Me: "Yeah I understand that well I'm going to get my day started and I'll text you back later"

Keondre: "Okay. Bye my queen"

Me: "haha bye", I said giggle hanging up the phon.

END OF PHONE CALL

I can't hold a grudge for anything. And the bible says not to, I don't see why anybody would want to hold a grudge anyway it's to much work. You have to remember you're mad at the person, you have to remember why you're mad them, then when you think about it you get mad. I'd rather just forgive and move on so I don't have all the hatred filled up in me.

I cleaned up my food and I went back upstairs to see of Demetria wanted anything to eat but she was still sleep.

I sat on the bed and started reading my bible and I guess I'll wait for her to wake up.

"Good morning sleepy head", I said looking at Demetria start stretching.

"Good morning you wake up early. What time is is?"

"Almost 12 in the afternoon"

"Oh my gosh I don't ever sleep that late. Are you serious?", she said in shock getting up like she had somewhere to be and she was running late.

"Yeah but calm down girl you're okay we're not doing anything right now"

"I know but I'm sorry I'm normally up already. I wasn't planning on being here that long"

"It's okay you're fine. You want something to eat?"

"No I normally don't eat until around 1"

"Why not?"

"It's a crazy story I don't really feel like getting into right now"

"Okay well that's fine. So what do you want to do today?"

"Can we go shopping? And I want to look at a place to stay"

"Okay what kind of home do you want?"

"I want a house. I'm tired of apartments. I don't like listening to the neighbors. I don't want to hear them complain if I'm moving around and I don't want to hear them either, I like pease and quiet. And I don't want a duplex cause I don't want to share a driveway or anything else"

"Okay how many bedrooms?"

"Two or three"

"Alright well this woman I go to church with is a realtor and I think she can help you find somewhere to stay"

"Okay"

I got my phone out and I called Sis. Betty. She told me we could see this house in the suburbs and to meet her there at 1.

"I'm going to get in the shower so we can go", Demetria said getting out the bed.

"Alright"

We left and went to look at a couple of house and Demetria liked one so we went to get the papers signed and they said she could move in within two weeks. It was fully furnished and everything. After we got done handling business we went to Chipotle for lunch.

"Oh my goodness LaLa I had the craziest dream"

"What happened?"

"Alright so I was out shopping and then this little boy about 7 years old ran up to me hiding behind me and some woman was chasing after him with a man. It must have been cold out because I had on trench coat and he literally hid all the way behind me like his back was always against the food shelf. I don't know who he was but he was very afraid. He didn't want to leave my side because when they ran by I told them I didn't seem the little boy because I was getting something off the shelf. I hurried up and took him home and I took him home to a beautiful baby girl and a 5 year old son. I smelt something good coming from the kitchen and when I walked in Le'Ron was there cooking. Crazy right?"

"That is crazy but what if it's not just a dream. Maybe it's a sign"

"Girl calm down it was just a dream, and come on me and your brother. Psh get real"

"I don't know I've seen the way y'all look at each other and when y'all were playing laser tag y'all were cooped up in the corner"

"Girl no we ran into each other..."

"Fine whatever you say but I think you're going to be my sister-in-law"

"Naw I don't think so"

"I do. You ready?", I asked after we finished eating.

"Yeah come on"

When we got back to the house it was late and I went up to the room. I went down to put the food in the refrigerator when I seen a shadows standing in the dark kitchen.
