Thinking outside the box

Princeton

I sat in the trap house having nothing better to do at 2am when Chres walked through the door looking happy as hell with a grin plastered on his devious face.

"What the fuck you wearing" I asked laughing

"I had a date" he gloated

"Maria ain't here motherfucker" I joked tipping my chair back

"Nah man, I ain't even feeling maria" he shocked me

"She's pregnant !" My chair banged against the floor

"Man I don't even know it's mine, we had a fight when she got pregnant it could be anyone's" he lit a blunt

"H-how'd you figure that out" I sat back engrossed

"Me and maria have been on and off for so long and now there's a kid involved ? Do I even fucking love her" he was seriously asking himself these questions

"It's that diamond chick ain't it " I sighed

"She's so fun prince, it's like I'm 18 again" he smiled

"Man, your 23" I laughed

"And she's 17, I know it sounds bad but she's insecure and I think I make her happy, she makes me happy" he shrugged

"But you've started a life with maria man" I pushed him tryna knock sense into him

" but I'm not ready yet, I need more time grow up and Maria's all grown up, It just doesn't feel right anymore" he looked at me

"Your only saying that cause you've met diamond, if you never had you wouldn't be feeling this way" I tapped his back

"I dunno, I'm serious about this, I forgot she was my student tonight, tonight was one of the best date's I've had, it was chill, something I never damn have with maria" he took a hit

"It's cause she's younger dude" I tried to persuade him

"No it's not" He shook his head

Chresanto was never like this, he always stuck to one girl and that girl had most of the time been maria. So this diamond chick comes in and suddenly takes over after one date. It was crazy. Maybe she drugged him or shit ?

"At least tell maria" I had an idea

"You high or shit ?" He laughed

"No tell em it's related to business with yo dad" I shrugged knowing all his business

"I could" he agreed

"Exactly" I smirked

Diamonds hair was wet and she wasn't even wearing damn shoes but at that moment it didn't matter. She looked at us blank until I walked up to her and hugged her, but she barley responded. It was a lot to take after almost 3 years.

"So he's alive ?" Diamond put her stuff on the floor beside her

"We suspect" the officer said

"How do you know ?" She asked quite calmly

"A couple sightings" he explained

"Can I see them ?" She asked staring at the files

"Of course" he slipped them across the table

She opened the file carefully spreading the 3 pictures out. Diamond stared at each one for a second running her finger over the circled guy thought to be ky.
