Mia got into her polished, cherry red Dodge Charger.
With black leather seats with vibrant red stitching. The only car of the three not owned by Hazel. The golden limo,
black and gold hummer and the white Dodge Challenger with two thick gold stripes down the middle.
Mia turned on the radio, as usual it was something by Janet Jackson. But this time it was Control. She pulled off the curb, memorizing where Amel lived. It was only an easy 15 minutes from here but it was an even shorter 8 minutes if you're speeding.
"Back in Goldie's weird love triangle." Mia remarked, turning up the radio as she turned left onto a street. She planned to be there in 8 minutes.

Amel answered the door, slightly shocked to see Mia again. Especially after she and Hazel broke up. She wore a light purple sweater with rolled up sleeves, jeans and black converse. On her head of curly hair was a black bandana, keeping her brown, thick curls at bay. She was a tall, light skin black girl who hadn't seem to age of 20 considering that she was 22 now.
She said with her soft, light voice," Hey Mia. What's up?"
"Hey boo, I just came to give you something from Hazel." She replied with her usual smirk and cheery yet mischievous attitude. The light skin, tall Amel blushed visibly at the mention of the DJ's name. It held more than just memories at this point. Amel let her inside her house, it was warm and spacious. Couch, giant flat screen tv, polished wood coffee table and mug of still steaming hot chocolate next to a pen and small notebook full of scratch out words. It smelled like cinnamon.
The singer asked," What thing?" Mia fished the chain from her pocket before holding up the familiar chain," You remember this?" Amel blushed harder at the sight of it, her cheeks a visible red," Of c—course I do. I forgot she had it...How is she doing anyway?"
"Same as usual," Mia answered with a shrug," She's fine but enough about Hazel. How are you sis?"
"I'm good," The taller woman answered with a nod," just in a small patch of trouble with my next album and the label. I might need help..."
Time to spice some things up.
"Look sis," Mia began," I don't mean to be a bearer of bad news but," She pointed a finger at the singer and continued," you know Hazel ain't over you right?" Amel chuckled, picking up her mug of hot coco," Yeah, right. I saw ET. She likes Mariah now. Been liked her anyway..."
Tea bitch. The makeup artist thought, pretending she didn't catch what she just heard. Mia already knew that.
"Yeah she does but she still not over the break up."
Amel raised an eyebrow," How? We were both cool with it...Is she like all quiet now because of it?"
"You already know the answer to that." Mia answered," Hey, I have an idea how bout you come to little get together tonight?" The singer took a sip from her mug and replied," I don't think she'd want me there and besides, I can't anyway. Have to go to the studio and figure out the plan for my next album."
Sound like trouble. Mia thought, My kind of trouble.
They talked for a few minutes, caught up with each other's lives and shared a few jokes.
"So, thanks for stopping by. It was nice to see you again Mia and thanks for giving me back the necklace." Amel began, staring at the necklace in her hand for a few seconds before turning her attention back to the younger woman.
"Your welcome," Mia replied with a smirk. Then her phone buzzed with a notification, a text from Janet and one from Hazel.
"I gotta go, wifey is waiting on me. See you soon boo."
Amel chuckled," You too, later M."

Mia closed the door behind her and locked it without looking back. Hazel was in the kitchen, drinking hot chocolate from her mug as well. Mia smirked," You wo have the same habits."
Hazel raised an eyebrow asked," You give it to her?"
"Yeah, she was blushing hard as hell tho." Mia answered with chuckle.
"Mia please tell me you didn't?"
"Do what?"
"You know what I mean." Hazel stated with a stern expression. Mia sighed in annoyance," Look ,I just told her you wasn't over the break up and invited her to out get together, but she declined because she has to go to the studio."
Hazel put a hand to her face, she voice sharpened with anger with each word as she growled," Mia, I should leak that fuckin video—"
"Hell no!" The makeup artist added," Release that video I will tell Mariah you was in a relationship with her best friend."
"Lucky..." Hazel growled before her tone quickly softened," Look,"I'll be ordering pizza. You pick the movie for tonight." Mia nodded her head," Cool and get some wings and breadsticks too. This shit is gonna be lit!" Hazel took a sip of hot chocolate and breathed," Okay...hope nothing bad happens...Cause I'm resisting the urge to strangle you."
The makeup artist ignored her comment and suggested," Let's watch a Fall From Grace. It's the new Tyler Perry thriller and from what I heard, it's pretty good."
"Okay then. You call Whitney and Janet and settle a time. I need to get myself together..." Hazel remarked, raking a hand through her hair. "Okay then," Mia added," I'll pay for the pizza and bring some wine the cellar please."
"Jeez, want some damn fries with that order too bitch damn!"
"Well yeah," Mia added, ignoring her comment," Cause you know Tris is gonna ask you something. Anyway, I need change clothes they are dirty. I'll be back."
