Now that Benji is gone, word around town is that he left a lot of money behind and Noelle had access to it. A lot of his enemies were looking for it and she was their target. It was an easy come up for anybody.
The streets were colder than a winter...
Noelle pulled into the driveway of Mama Sheila and Benny's miniature mansion before exiting the car. She nearly cried as she thought about her daughter leaving her for the weekend. She opened the backseat and grabbed Brielle's pink Minnie Mouse themed car seat and diaper bag before shutting the door. The sun was out today and there was no breeze in the air.
Noelle walked up the concrete steps before ringing the doorbell. A few minutes had passed before Mama Sheila opened the door.
"Hey! Come in!" She smiled as she moved to the side to let her in. She stepped in and gave Mama Sheila a hug before sitting down on the couch.
"Let me see my grand baby." Mama Sheila smiled as she walked towards the couch. She unzipped Brielle's car seat cover and saw her sleeping peacefully in her seat.
"Hey Noelle." Benny spoke as he walked down the staircase. He had bags underneath his eyes and he was starting to grow a beard. Noelle felt bad for him. He looked depressed.
"Hey." Noelle waved as Mama Sheila picked up Brielle and placed her on her shoulder. Benny's eyes quickly lit up once he saw his grand baby.
"Thank you for letting her stay over this weekend." Benny told her. Although his son was gone, a piece of him was still here and he was happy whenever he saw Brielle.
"I don't mind. You're her grandparents." She laughed before her phone vibrated in her lap. She knew it had to be Brianna since they had been texting all day. "Well, I have to go. The milk is in the bag as well as the bottles. Thank you."
"No problem! Go have fun." Mama Sheila said as Benny placed Brielle on his shoulder. Noelle walked out of their home and climbed in her car.

"You don't think this is too short?" Noelle asked Ava as she examined herself in the full-length mirror. She was starting to feel very self-conscious about her weight. It had been awhile since she had worn a dress. She was wearing a tan and black zebra printed dress that stopped above her knees and black thigh-high boots. Her hair was in a high, lengthy ponytail and she wore diamond studs in her ear.
"It looks fine, girl. It's the perfect length. Now can we leave?" Ava asked as she sat on Noelle's bed. Ava felt comfortable in her tan dress that had a slit in the side, showcasing her legs. She wore tan pumps and silver jewelry on her fingers and wrists.
