Normani's POV

I woke up and made Josh and I some breakfast, Khalid was not home as usual so I called my best friend Camila to watch Josh while I'm at work. Khalid needs to get his shit together, his baby mama left him on his ass with their kid, and within a few days later he was thrown out of his appartment because he is broke; me being the kind hearted person I am decided to give him a place to stay especially for his son's sake. He is too young to be out on the streets and Khalid's mother already told him that he is not welcome at her home unless he finds a job. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I saw my co-worker and other best friend Ally, she was my wingwoman

" Hey I got you coffee" She says while placing the steaming hot cups onto ny desk and taking a seat across from me

" Thank you I definitely need this after the morning I have had" I sipped on the hot liquid

" About that what's going on with you, you seemed lost for a bit"

" It's Khalid" I say leaning back into my chair and sighing in the process

" Mani I have been telling you ever since you allowed that slob to move in with you. He hopeless time to let him go"

" I would but I'm worried about Josh"

" You ain't his mama Mani and as far as I am concerned his own doesn't even give two fucks about him"


" That's the thing Ally he has two irresponsible parents I'm just trying to do what's best for him"

" Jesus Mani are you even listening to yourself, you have definitely gone into  mother mode"

I rolled my eyes at her and the ringing of my phone broke me out of our conversation

" Hello-

" Mani can you uh come get me"

" Khalid don't tell me you're at the fucking police station"

" Actually I kinda am I was placed on 5000 bond"

" What did you fucking do this time?"

" It was racist man, the police just wanted to slap the cups on another nigga's arm. I'm scared for my life Mani please come get me"

" Nah I think imma let you spend the night maybe that will give you a wake up call"


" Mani no please I promise I'll change"

" It has been 8 months since I have been hearing that same line over and over again, when change gonna come dude"

" Mani I just have a second remaining please come-

I hung up the phone with a smirk on my face. Khalid has to change and maybe this would be just the right method.
