"I came to talk to you, I heard you was finally back over here" he said to Cardi as she glanced back at me

"This isn't the right time or place" she said as she turned back to face him

"Tomorrow?" He asked her

"I got business" she said

"Yo why can't you just take the hint Tommy?" Hennessy chimed in

"Cause she gave me no explanation when she broke up with me" he said

"She don't need to, you think an explanation gonna get y'all back together?" Hennessy said as Cardi's mom backed away into the kitchen

"It would help" he simply responded

"No it won't nigga, I got a lot of shit going for me I don't need you" Cardi told him

"You don't need me but ain't that my name right here?" He said pulling her wrist

"Don't fucking touch her" I said stepping in and pushing him

"And who the fuck are you?" He said getting angry

"That's my girlfriend so back the fuck up" Cardi said

"Oh so you like girls now?" He said

"Why the fuck that matter to you? I'm way happier with her than when I was with you" she told him

"I hope everytime y'all fucking you remember that it's my name she got tatted on her" he told me

"I hope everytime you think of her you remember than I'm the one she's fucking" I said as he stormed off

We watched him leave. As we walked back inside Cardi shut the door and let out a sigh.

"Well, I wasn't expecting this to happen at all while we was here but that's Tommy" she said taking a seat and resting her head on her hands

"I'm guessing he's your ex?" I asked her

"Yeah" she simply said

"Why he needed an explanation?" I asked her

"Cause right before I left to Cali I broke up with him" she told me

"What was the reason?" I asked her

"It just wasn't a good relationship so I took advantage of the fact that I was leaving to break up" she told me

"It wasn't a good relationship?" I asked

"No" she simply said

"So why you got his name tatted?" I asked her

"Well you are very curious" she said

"It's cool if you don't wanna tell me, I was just wondering" I told her

"He was in jail and he wanted me to get it tatted, to show I was his. He didn't want me hoeing around" she told me

"You have a shitty taste in men" I told her

"In women too apparently" she said as I smacked my lips and nudged her arm

"I'm kidding" she said

"Why would you lie to him though" I told her

"About what?" She asked me

"That I was your girlfriend" I told her

"Shut up I know you was getting all bubbly when I said that" she told me

We sat together for a few hours and talked about her past relationships. This experience really made me curious about who she's dated. After that we both went to bed.

The next day.

"Alright so I'll text you when I'm on my way home" I said to her as I pecked her lips and headed for the door

"Be safe I love you" she said as I stopped in my tracks

"Don't even mention it and go" she said as I smiled and opened the door

"I love you too" I said as I walked out and headed to Ariana.

I hopped into her car and she gave me a big hug.

"I missed you so much!" She exclaimed

"I missed you too, shit we have a lot to catch up on, and I need a favor.." I said as we spent the hour car ride to her house talking about what we've been doing lately.

We arrived to her house and she gave me a small tour, she had moved since I left because she wanted to be closer to family. When we finally got done with the tour we sat down.

"So what favor do you need?" She asked me reminding me about it

"So you know that girl I was telling you about?" I asked her

"Cardi?" She questioned

"Yea, she's friends with this girl named Doja and I don't trust her" I told her

"Cardi?" She asked me

"Doja, she seem like she keep trying to get with Cardi" I said

"Mhm" she hummed

"So I got her sisters phone yesterday and got Doja's number, I need you to text her so I can see what's up with her" I said

"You sure Nic? What if you find out something you wish you didn't?" She asked me

"Then I'm beating her ass" I said as she laughed pulling her phone out

"What's her number?" She asked as I pulled out my phone and read the number from the picture I had taken from Hennessy's phone

"Alright, what do you want me to text her?" She asked me

"Actually here" she said handing me her phone as I took it

To Doja: hey, is this Doja?

From Doja: yea, who's this?

To Doja: I got your number from your Instagram

From Doja: Do I know you tho?

To Doja: Nah, my friend said she bought some weed from you and she gave me your insta

From Doja: oh sounds cool, you want some weed?

To Doja: not right now, I was wondering if you was single?

From Doja: it's complicated, but I'm open for new people :)

To Doja: oh you got someone then? I don't wanna be a side piece or second option

From Doja: Nah, she got a girl I guess so we straight

To Doja: wait you fucking with a girl who got someone?

...

The three dots in the bubble appeared but before I could receive a message I locked the phone and gave it back to Ariana.

"You good?" She asked me

"Read the thread" I told her as I felt my tears coming up

But what were the odds? Maybe she wasn't talking about Cardi.
