"Enough already Dad I'm at peace with this whole Rosa situation. I know you would've found out what happen because people talk."

I was becoming more and more tired trying to get my point across to my dad for the umptenth time. By the time I got home he had call me the moment I hit the doorway. Luckily along the way I had the book with me in case we needed to go over everything. I sat on the couch taking my heels off with my bluetooth  on my ear and headed to my office. When I got on the computer I opened my copy machine copying all the information and faxed it over to him. Moments later he understood me. After hearing through the phone the fax reaching his end he got silent and spoke.

"I see now what your saying that low down stealing thing. Now it's time to clean shop in the kitchen to for the ones who didn't speak up knowing she was doing this."

Leaving my office I ended my call with my father and went to my bedroom. I showered than changed into my pjs noticing my multiple phone calls from Derek.  And text messages from everybody over the last two days.

In my mind I think Rosa did like Derek but if he knew that why was he entertaining her

In my mind I think Rosa did like Derek but if he knew that why was he entertaining her. Now remembering who told me I owe Drea once again. She was still nosey in my mind but she kept me up on everything. And if I didn't see it sooner than I wouldn't have no job and become a disappointment to my father. As time went along I grabbed some wine out the fridge and drinked on the couch. My home was big but I didn't have much time to really enjoy it when I was on the go all the time. After about 3 glass a knock came to the door and it was my neighbor Phil. He was dressed in his workout clothing with sweat dripping off his forehead. He smiled when I opened the door to see him once again. Phil and me went out for dinner once and after we just we're good girl friends. Anytime other than that we just discussed life amongst each other.

"Hi Danielle long time since we last spoke. I was passing by your driveway and saw your car and just knew I had to come speak."

Putting on my best fake smile that I could to get though this conversation. 

"I know right but I'm good what about you?"

He placed his hand on his hips to catch his breath and examined me with his eyes.

"Girl it's 10 o o'clock and your in your damn pjs. Hold up wait hold on something wrong with you. I can tell as much as we use to talk your feeling good. Like seriously what's been going on you mind if we chat. And maybe talk on your back deck by the pool for a bit because I'm hot as fuck."

I stepped aside and went on the deck to talk and drink. The deck and pool hasn't been used since last year and I was kept maintained by my father having his landscape people come out every week but it was beautiful than I remembered. 

Sitting beside each other I gave Phil a glass from the table storage area

Sitting beside each other I gave Phil a glass from the table storage area. He explained to me that he got engaged and was living his best life with the man of his dreams. He told me that he was everything he could hope for. Phil told me that they would be moving into his place and he would love for me to meet him. After talking about himself he went back to me being the subject again. 

"What's been going on in your love life."

I scooped up in my chair till my butt sat on the rim of the chair and took a swig of my wine. 

"I don't know like I'm feeling this guy and go out my way for him to and I barely know him. We chill and the vibes are good all the time. He recently got out a relationship and the girl he was with cheated and saying she had a baby and it's his. Come to find out it's not his and the problem today was one of my co workers be throwing herself at him. And he accepts it without speaking up for me letting her know we talk. So I fired her for something else tonight and he got mad."

"Damn mama you got a lot going on. He must be worth it because you drinking like you got the blues. The dick must be all that."

"Well... we haven't slept together yet and to me it's more than sex with him you know."

He slid back in his chair and crossed his legs.

"You really like him or should I say love him."

My eyes rolled and I tossed my hair over my shoulders. Everybody saying I was in love the even I didn't  think I was. Phil was blowing my buzz with the L word. Last time I said that was in high school with this boy who broke my heart because he wanted to sleep with me. And at the time it was convenient to say the L word to the person you dating. When it was time to have sex I did it and he dumped me. After my feeling we're hurt and I didn't eat for days. Something changed and after two weeks I guess I was in love after all. The bottle had ran out and it was going on 12 o clock and we knew the security guard by 1 would cut the sprinklers on. So than the guard would leave the complex for the night so we called it a early night. Phil gave me a hug and went on his way as I walked him out the front door.
