I was keeping a close eye on Destiny lately because of the flat tires and unknown phone calls. She thinks I'm just spending a lot more time at her place when in reality, I'm checking on her.

Currently, I'm at her place lounging around. I figured I'd have time to do that since Diddy hasn't told us our schedule for the week yet. I'm sure it be hectic when he did so I'm resting while I can.

My phone rang..

"Hello?"

"Hey babe, where are you?" I heard her heels clicking against the sidewalk.

"I'm still at your place where you left me."

"Aww.. miss me yet?"

"Always baby. Where are you headed?"

"It's lunch time for me. So I'm headed to grab food.. how'd you know I'm going somewhere?"

Because I turned your location on.. "I hear your footsteps against whatever you are walking on now."

"I'm in the parking garage. Getting into my car.  A few of my firm buddies are going to the Mexican restaurant down the street after work. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, just bring me something back.. I'm sure I'll be busy by the time you make it back."

"What's Puff got up for y'all?"

"We don't know yet, but I'm sure something. Hey, did Patrick contact you?"

"Yes, he did. He wants to know about the whole Chris situation. All I can tell him is that Chris is still running. And if he continues, shit just gets worse for him. They're looking for him but hoping he turns himself in."

"I hope he does. I'm worried about what he'd try to do to Chels... or my brother even."

"We all need to be careful. We're associated with them both.. just in case."

"You be very careful, my love."

"I will. I'll see you later. Love you."

"Love you too."

I put my phone to the side and continued watching tv. Reruns of living single played as I endulged.. letting minutes pass by before her house phone rang.

I went to grab it out of the kitchen, looking at the unknown number on the caller ID. "Hello," I answered.

"Hello?" I said again.

"........."

Then I heard breathing.. someone was on the phone.

"I can hear you.. so speak up. You've been calling here for days now."

The line went dead.

"What are you doing here? And why are you mad?" I laughed.

"You're high, huh?"

"The legal way.. I must say." I handed him my house keys. "What's got your boxers in a bunch, Carnell?"

"Puff, man. He's pissing me off." He opened the door as I listened to him complain. Well.. I really heard a bunch of blah blah blahs.. but you know...

"Are you even listening to me?"

"Should I be? Y'all fired me, why should I care? I mean your album sales are high, it's already platinum.. why are you complaining? That's what's y'all wanted right? With his unprofessional ass."

"Chels..."

"Carnell.."

"What kind of friend are you being right now?"
