I waited downstairs and my heart was racing. I didn't know what Xavier and his friend were upstairs doing to that man. I didn't want to be involved but I was already in too deep.
I could hear a lot of movement upstairs and eventually Xavier and his friend came walking down the stairs like nothing happened. "C'mon we gone" Xavier says walking straight to the front door. With no hesitation I got up and scurried our the house as well. I got in the back seat allowing his friend to sit in the passenger seat.
They were talking about the NBA drafts just acting normal. I guess they really do this shit so it doesn't bother them anymore.
Meanwhile I'm still shooketh.
Xavier drops his friend off and I climbed into the passenger seat instead of getting it the car.
"Watch your head" I say as I swung my legs around. He pulled off and I buckled my seatbelt. We just rode listening to 21 Savage.
We eventually made it to my house and I drew myself a bath. I poured my favorite bubble bath in the water and then walked over to the sink. I grabbed my paddle brush and brushed my hair up into a messy bun so it wouldn't get wet.
"Ooh you shouldn't have" Xavier says walking into the bathroom dropping his boxers.
"Unh unh I know you fucking lying" I exclaim turning around watching him sit down in the tub.
"Oh this was for you?" He chuckles reaching for my loofah.
"I fucking hate you" I roll my eyes.
"C'mon get in with me" Xavier moves back to create room for me. I just glare at him for a second before unbuttoning my pants.
"Did you get your money?" I ask pulling off my shirt.
"Duh. I sat it on your dresser it's yours now"
"I don't want it" I sat down in front of him laying back against him. "I didn't ask" He replies kissing my neck.
"That was probably his last dollar he needed it more than I did"
"If he needed the money that bad he wouldn't have spent 11 grand on weed to begin with. That nigga don't even got no kid" Xavier retorts.
I nod my head. See this is why I'm not the one selling drugs. I'm too sympathetic for this. I would have definitely given that man the benefit of the doubt and gotten finessed out of my money.
"You was looking good today" He kisses my neck again. "Thank you"
"Lemme give you a baby right quick "
"Woahhh is that a threat" I laugh shaking my head.
"You don't want a little Xavier running around here?" He questions.
"No. No I don't. When there's a ring on this finger then we'll talk." I reply to him turning my head to peck his lips.
"Chanel Michaels, it gotta nice ring to it" He smiles kissing me again. "Angie Michaels sound better though" Xavier replies referring to my step mom.
"Good fucking bye" I laugh splashing him with the water. "C'mon scrub my back" I reply handing him some body wash,

We laid there in the bed cuddled up watching Spongebob like some five year olds. This nigga who's out here pistol whipping niggas, wakes up and watch Spongebob with his girl.
Our stomach was growling for some type of breakfast but neither of us wanted to get up. I just felt so content and comfortable in his arms I could deal with starving for a little while longer.
The doorbell rang and I just ignored it but then it rang again. "Who here at 9 o'clock in the morning?"
"My side nigga" I tease climbing out the bed. I pulled on his boxer briefs before I walked downstairs. I unlocked the front door and there stood two men. They resembled the detectives on like Law&Order or any show of the sort.
"Goodmorning are you Chanel Hyatt?" One of the guys asked me showing me their badge. I nod my head furrowing my eyebrows at them. "Do you mind if we come in and ask you a few questions?"
"About?" I asked them.
"Are you the girlfriend of Xavier Michaels?" I nod my head yes slowly kind of hesitant about what I was admitting to. I wanted to deny it but if they were as good as detectives as they looked they already knew.
Not to mention his fucking car is in my driveway right now.
"Can you vouch for his whereabouts on July 25th?" The other detective questions.
"No umm we weren't dating then. What is this about?" I ask with a confused look upon my face.
"The murder of Dante Jackson"
My stomach instantly fell to my ass. Oh shit. I know my face had to already give something away so I had to think quick on my feet. "A-are you saying he's involved with a murder?"
"We're just trying to cross some T's and dot some I's with his story. So he wasn't with you that night?"
I shake my head no. Did he tell him he was with me? Did I just fuck something up? "Do you mind coming down to the station and answering a few questions?" The officer questions raising an eyebrow at me.
"I can't answer anything. I don't know anything regarding this"
"It's just protocol. It would help clear up Mr. Michaels story"
I didn't know what to say. All the episodes of Criminal Minds couldn't actually prepare me for this.
"I think it's best if I stayed out of this. I really don't know anything and I don't want to screw up the investigation" I reply to them. My hands were legit shaking. I tried to hide them behind my back and still remain cool.
"Okay well if you remember anything let us know. Have a nice day" He hands me his card and I closed the door. My heart began to race and I burst out in tears. Why is this happening now? It's been like six months why is this coming up?
My heart started to race and my chest felt like it was just getting tighter and tighter making it harder to breathe.
I ran upstairs and into the room. Xavier gets up instantly. "What's wrong? Who was at the door?"
I couldn't talk.
I couldn't breathe.
I started hyperventilating I just couldn't gasp enough air to calm down. He forces me to sit down. I could tell he was genuinely worried.
"Who the fuck was it?" Xavier asks me again.
"The police. They were asking about Dante" I finally say. "How come you didn't tell me they were investigating that?"
"I didn't want you to worry about it." He says. "What did they ask?"
"They asked were we together that night"
"You said no right?" Xavier asks and I nod my head yes. He sighed in relief and sat down next to me wrapping his arms around me. "Look I got this. Don't trip" He kisses my forehead and rubs my back as I continued crying into his chest.
"I can't let you go down for this Xavier. I can't." I just kept shaking my head. I walked over to my phone and started to dial the number on the card. I had to tell the truth. I knew this would come back to haunt me.
He snatches my phone out my hand and toss it to the bed. Xavier takes the card and rips it. "G calm down they don't got nothing on me"
Xavier grabs placed his hands on either side of my face. "I'm good. We're good. This is nothing to stress about. Okay?"
I just nod my head and he wipes my face and kisses me once more. "Get dressed I'm hungry" Xavier tells me and I nod my head.
