Unfinished Business

Chapter 1

SB

Well, it's been almost a month since the whole thing happened with my moms. Not only that, I came home one night to find Nicki gone and a letter signed by her. I know it's not her hand writing, but who could it be?

Dear SB,

You've been with me throughout almost my whole career. I am thankful for a friend as you, but of course I have a life besides being a celebrity. I need some alone time, so I'm taking a break with my new man. Sorry I couldn't tell you to your face. I couldn't stomach to, but know that I've moved on. I think you should move on too.

I can't believe Nick just up and left, but that ain't usual. She wouldn't leave without telling me what's up. Unless she was playing me all along. I felt like it was all too good to be true, but maybe we just happened too soon.

I walked upstairs into my mother's room carrying a tray full of breakfast I'd made. I pushed the door open with my foot.

"Good morning beautiful." I smiled walking to the side of her bed to see her smiling and turning over to me.

"Good morning baby. What's this?" She asked with her morning voice.

"Breakfast. I did a little something." I said.

She laughed looking at the tray, then taking it. "I see. It might be good. I see we're still in the house." We laughed together and I shook my head.

"You know what ma-" before I could finish the bell rang throughout the house. Who could be at my mother's house early this morning.

I looked at moms confused as to who would be here this early. He shrugged. "I'll be right back." I got up closing the bedroom door walking downstairs to assist whoever it was behind this door.

Ronnie

I hope this is the right house. It's big. Man maybe it's too big for my family to afford. I'ma just turn around and leave. These people don't want me in their yard.

I walked off the front steps back into the driveway. Why would Val send me the address then leave the house? When I was almost to out of the gate I heard the big door open.

"Ayo, you need something?" I heard a young man's voice, but he probably thought I stole something since I had this garbage bag on my side. I kept walking too embarrassed to look back.

I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going somewhere. I walked until I reached a bus stop and took the little money I had left from my prison card to catch buses back to my home place, Jailhouse.

Whoever that man was must've really meant something to moms. I describes the man to her and she left looking for him. I don't know why, but he ain't look too clean. I ain't got time for this shit. I miss Nick and she been gone too long. I need her because she completes me. I ain't trying to go back to the houses we shared. I guess when Nick said she had problems of her own years ago this is what she meant.

I sat around mom's house all day until sun down. I decided I can't sit up in the boring place no more. I grabbed the keys to my Bentley and left just riding out blowing L's down the road.

During the drive I ended up to the house in Beverly Hills. To be real, I don't even know how I got here. Maybe God led me this way, if so God please walk with me. I punched in the number into the keypad and watched the black gate open. Nicki's cars were parked just how we left them the night we went into hide out. I parked my car in between hers and killed the engine.

I slowly walked up to the front steps like a serial killer observing all the features on the outside of the house. When I reached the door steps I grabbed my keys and unlocked the door. The smell of a freshly cooked meal hit my nose. I guess this is where Nick been at all along. I inched in more closing the door walking around the house, but the lights were off. I guess nobody's here and that's just my mind playing tricks on me.

As I walked around looking at old photos from tours and vacations I smiled. You just don't know how deep my love is for this girl. I heard something fall or sound like it was being pushed against the wall behind me. I looked back to see nothing. Here goes my mind again. I guess it's time for me to go anyway. I've seen enough.
