"Soon he'll realize baby. Just give him time, he'll come around." Katherine told LaTrece.
"I love Kalvin so much. But I just feel unsafe." LaTrece sighed.
LaTrece was so fed up with Kalvin's 'drug' business. About a month ago, one of his enemies threatened to shoot her in the stomach.
"Whatever you do, don't give up." Gina said.
LaTrece laid back on Katherine's couch. Gina and Katherine have gotten so close the past few months. They hang out a lot, almost everyday.
"You going to the store with me Kat?" Gina asked.
"Yeah, let me get my purse." Katherine got up and went to the back.
"Talk to that man LaTrece. Work it out. Tell him how you feel. You hear me?" Gina kissed LaTrece on the cheek.
LaTrece nodded.
"I'm ready." Katherine said. "LaTrece you want anything?"
"A box of pizza. I'm hungry." LaTrece said.
"Fat ass." Gina joked.
They laughed.
Gina and Katherine left.
LaTrece turned on the TV and started to watch Tom and Jerry, the cartoon show.
Charles walked through the door, Katherine's old man.
"Hey there, how ya doin'?" Charles smiled at LaTrece.
"Hey Charles. I'm doing good. You?" LaTrece asked.
"I'm good. Where's Katherine?"
"Her and my momma went to the store."
"Oh okay. You want something to eat?"
"Yes, I'm starving." LaTrece said.
Charles laughed. " Okay, I'll cook some fries and hamburgers."
LaTrece's phone rung. It was Molly calling.
"Hello." LaTrece answered.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY NIGGA!" Molly screamed through the phone.
"Thank you girl." LaTrece laughed.
"Where you at?"
"I'm at Katherine's house."
"Okay, I'll be there in three minutes." Molly said.
"Okay." LaTrece hung up.
"Today's your birthday?" Charles asked.
"Yeah." LaTrece said.
"Well happy birthday." Charles smiled.
"Thanks."
The door bell rung. Charles answered. Molly and Patricia walked in.
"Hey girl." Patricia hugged LaTrece. She gave her a Louise Voutine bag.
"Here you go." Molly handed LaTrece some roses and a envelope.
"Thank you." LaTrece smelled the roses.
Alasha and Terrilyn walked through the door. They hugged LaTrece and told her happy birthday.
"This is from me and Terrilyn." Alasha handed her a 'Bath & Body Works' bag.
