8. Seasons Change Part 2

"Are you sure it was her on the phone?" Rob asked Capone as they sat on the couch watching the news. Capone nodded as he sighed in irritation. He was almost beginning to regret telling Rob what he saw on the dude's phone at the park. "How do you know it was her?"

"Nigga, is your brain loose?" Capone asked sitting up, "I know what she looks like."

Rob frowned before looking back towards the television. Capone eyed him before shaking his head and lifting his blunt to his lips.

"Why don't you just talk to her and get it over with?" Capone asked.

"There has to be a reason she isn't telling anyone she's seen me," Rob said more to himself than to Capone.

"How you figure that she didn't tell anyone?"

"Because we would have heard by now,"

Before either of them could say anything else, Eve sauntered into the living room with a steaming plate of food and a can of soda. Capone rolled his eyes as Eve smiled before putting the plate down in front of Rob. She then carefully opened the soda and put it down in front of him as well. She stood and waited for him to take a bit and approve the meal before sitting down next to him.

"Capone there's more in the kitchen," Eve said. Capone just nodded.

He didn't plan on eating or staying around the two much longer on that particular day.

"Chill out," Rob said waving Eve quiet, "We're trying to figure who this cat is that has Young on his phone."

Eve's face screwed up and she smacked her lips.

"Are you talking about her boyfriend? He's Chris' cousin," Eve said. Capone looked from Rob to Eve and wondered if she realized what she had just done to herself. Eve frowned until her eyes connected with Rob's and she immediately got scared.

"I mean,"

"You mean to tell me you knew she was messing with ol boy and didn't tell me?" Rob asked moving closer to Eve. She bit her lip and looked around as if she was searching for an answer.

"I didn't think it would be so important," she said. Capone knew she didn't tell Rob for one reason and one reason only.

"Well, I mean, I've heard she was dealing with him," Eve said. Her voice had gotten ten times softer than before. Capone shook his head as Rob's nose flared.

"What else do you know?" Rob asked pulling Eve to him by her neck.

Capone could tell it hurt by the way she flinched.

"Nothing," she mumbled. Rob gripped her neck even more and she cried out. "Okay, okay," Eve said.

"Spit it out," Rob said not moving his hand at all. Eve tried to pry it loose but to no avail.

"She's been dealing with him for over a year. He also runs for Chris," Eve said. "That's all I know baby, I promise."

Rob looked at her for a second before looking pushing her away and releasing her neck. Eve's head bounced off of the couch as she moved away from Rob. He sat back in his seat and ran both of his hands down his face.

"I can't believe her," Rob mumbled. Eve heard him and frowned.

"Why should it matter if she has a man? You're over her right?" Eve asked. Capone laughed at how naïve she was. It was a shame because he though she had potential. Rob didn't respond to Eve's question which only made her cross her arms and sit back.

Rob looked at her before looking at Capone.

"Don't you have runs to make?" Rob asked. Capone looked at him before laughing.
