"You need to call her. She made a mistake and you know it. None of them were in their right minds at the moment." Tati vouched for Alexis.

"You don't think I tried that? And if she can't handle her liquor then she shouldn't have been driving either. I bet you'd be pissed if Rianna would've really got hurt." Rico stated.

"But she didn't, so thank God."

"Man, whatever. Rianna, I don't even know why you wanna be around her all the time anyway."

"Because we get along. Can you just stop taking to me about this? It was a week ago and I already feel bad for ruining her car. You don't have to keep bringing that day up." Rianna walked away into Rico's kitchen.

"Are you going to call her?" Tati asked.

"Ma, no! She said fuck me so fuck her too. I already called and sent her messages, I'm definitely not about to blow her up." He shook his head.

"Maybe she needed time. You probably should go see her."

"Ain't happening. She already be with other niggas so I'm sure she don't wanna see me anyway." He was salty, but didn't admit.

A week has passed since Rico has last heard from Alexis. He called and sent messages to apologize for calling her dumb and retarded, but Alexis didn't want to hear it. She ignored it for three days straight until Rico got the hint that she wasn't going to respond. He didn't mind and wasn't upset about it because he thought she'd come around. It wasn't until Alexis started posting videos on Snapchat and Instagram of her in some guys face. Normally he doesn't get jealous, but he was pissed off. He didn't think the argument was serious enough for her to move on like that.

"So you guys are done?" Tati asked.

"Yeah, I don't have time for it." He shrugged.

Tati sighed and switched the conversation. Rico was mad that she even brought up Alexis' name because now he was going to be thinking about her. As Tati talked to Rianna from the kitchen, he got on Alexis' Instagram to see she had a new upload. Wearing a maroon tube top with a pair of high waisted jean shorts, Rico zoomed in on the picture and then read her caption.

"I'm single, so I do what I want

"I'm single, so I do what I want. Who tryna see me tonight?" She captioned with the water emoji and the upside down smiley face.

If this was a cartoon you'd see the steam blowing from Rico's ears. He read all the comments of the guys trying to get at her. And then the guy that he had been seeing Alexis with commented, telling her to text him with a heart added at the end. He started to comment, but quickly stopped himself. Instead, he hit up one of his old pieces and told her to slide later.

"I guess we'll be on our way now. I just wanted to drop off those papers about the building in Memphis." Tati prepared to leave.

"Preciate it." He stood up to give her a hug.
