Help me, help you

Help me, help you

I checked myself out of the hospital last week. I took an uber home. I kinda just want to be alone to go over everything.

I didn't realize till I got home that I didn't have my phone. I have been freaking out. I use that phone for my work as well.

All I can think about is West, Emma, Hemrick and all my other clients.

I went back to Korra several times and no one knows where it is.

I also haven't spoken to my friends or Jayden this week. Although I decided that I'm going to Diamond's today.

Raymond answers the door when I show up. He is happy I showed up because his wife won't leave him alone.

I am not surprised, Mony is a handful.

Mony is yelling her head off for no reason.

I walk into her living room, "Mony shut up, you are driving Ray up a wall what's wrong with you!"

"Nu-Uh! The man who did this to me has no say in what I do. He has no right to complain, and if he does he better say it with his chest cuz if he wants to go, we can go!" She stands, pointing at her slightly rounded belly.

This girl got me with my brows furrowing and jaw-dropping. Raymond stands behind Diamond wrapping his arm around her whispering things such as, "She doesn't know what she's talking about, you know I love you." Blah Blah Blah.

When I say Raymond Armani Michaels is whipped. He is WHIPPED.

"Anyways, I came to see how you are. Sorry, I didn't call, I lost my phone." I tell her.

This girl widens her eyes then walks away. She soon comes back with my phone in hand.

I slowly purse my lips to the side of my mouth and shaking my index finger at her before speaking, "Tell me that you didn't have my phone for the past week."

"I actually didn't have it for the past week, Jayden did. He gave it to me three days ago..." She says.

I bunch up my fists, "So when did you plan on giving it to me?"

"You cannot blame me. I didn't know you were out of the hospital and you seemed really upset with us."

"Whatever, plus I am not angry at you. I know that none of this was your idea. Unless you want to tell me it was?"

She shook her head vigorously.

We got to her lady cave.

Mony is being so very cautious of everything she does around me. I appreciate it, though it isn't needed. I know shes also biting her tongue on certain topics.

"Diamond, you can ask. I don't know why you are holding back."

Relief warms over her. "First things first, old boy, new relationship?"

I love how she can make me laugh without trying. "He told me that he would want to be in an official relationship but it is my choice..."

"And you have yet to make that choice, right?"

I nod, "I don't know what to do Mony. I feel like I'm 19 all over again making this decision."

"Why don't you guys get to know the older versions of yourselves? He's not the same person he was back then as much as you aren't the same girl. And no friendly bullsh*t. I know you would probably use that as the easy way out. Maddie, no friendly bullsh*t. Repeat after me, NO FRIENDLY BULLSH*T."

"No friendly bull..." I whisper taking in all she recommended.

"No Bullsh*t!"

I laugh at her attempt to make me curse, but she is right. "No friendly Bullcrap"
