Liana had been at Chris’ house all day and he wasn’t being any kind of entertainment to her because he was on the phone doing business, all day. Whenever she went up to his room, he either shooed her away or ignored her completely. It got to the point where he locked her out for hours until he was finally done and went downstairs to a very irritated girlfriend. “Hey beautiful.” He beamed, sitting next to her on the couch.

“Get out my face.” She mumbled, moving away from him only to have him pull her back. “Stop it.” She said, rolling her eyes as he kissed on her neck.

“I’m sorry baby.” He mumbled against her neck, pulling her on his lap. He ran his hands up and down her thighs, pinching them lightly. “You forgive me?”

“I’ll think about it.” She smirked, pecking his lips when his doorbell rung. He pushed her off his lap, making her tumble sideways. “You asshole!” she spat, laughing and laying across the couch. As soon as she heard TJ’s voice, she rolled her eyes. “Oh gosh…” she mumbled to herself.

“Damn, you ain’t tell us the midget was gonna be here.” TJ rolled his eyes as soon as he saw Liana.

“Shut the fuck up you test-tube baby.” Liana snapped back, sitting up and frowning.

“Down kitty,” TJ teased, plucking her nose. Chris laughed, grabbing Liana’s arm when she tried to swing at TJ. “Chris always gets the crazy bitches.” He joked to Jordan.

“Aye, my baby ain’t crazy.” Chris said, shaking his head. “She’s just a little psycho.”

“You’re an ass, Chris.” Liana laughed, pinching his arm and getting off his lap. “I’m going to take a nap, wake me up when your groupies leave.” She stuck her tongue out at TJ and sashayed up to Chris’ room. She fell onto his bed, hugging one of the pillows and falling asleep not too long after.

Liana didn’t know how long she was asleep, but when she woke up the room was dark and she heard loud voices downstairs. The words policewrong house, and Black had her getting out of bed, rushing downstairs. Chris, TJ, Rashad, and another guy she didn’t know was sitting downstairs, having a screaming match until Liana came into view. They got quiet and Chris huffed, frowning at her. “Go get dress, Rashad gonna take you home.”

“What’s going on?” she asked slowly, crossing her arms.

“Can you just go do what I said for once and stop asking fucking questions?” Chris spat, stepping towards her. “Go. Get the fuck dress.”

“Don’t fucking talk to me like I’m a child!” she bit back, pushing him out her personal space. “Re-fucking-evaluate your attitude asshole.” She spat, turning to go back up the stairs. She quickly got dressed and was back downstairs within three minutes. She brushed passed Chris without speaking and walked out the door with Rashad right behind her.

“Dang Li wait up…” he mumbled, unlocking the car and getting in a few seconds after she did. “You okay?” he asked softly, starting the car as Liana nodded silently. Rashad sighed, shaking his head and pulling off. “Listen, I know Chris could be a bit extreme sometimes, that’s my boy and he means no harm.”

“Unless he’s smacking me around…” she mumbled, sitting back and staring out the window as he cruised down the street.

“He hit you?”

“No.” she quickly said, biting her lip and crossing her arms, not bothering to say anything else. Rashad caught the hint, staying quiet until he pulled up at Alex’s. The lights were out and Liana had totally forgotten that Ralph had the day off. “I don’t wanna be in here alone.”
