Janet

Moments after I knocked on the front door, it opened. Kyle looked me up and down before he smiled. "Janet Jackson? Girl is that you?"

Chuckling, I nodded. "Yeah Kyle, it's me."

He pulled me into a brief hug before inviting me in. "Come on in. Sharon's upstairs napping, I can go wake her up."

"Oh no, it's okay. I'll go wake her up. Which way?"

"Down the hall, fifth door on the right." I walked down the hall and entered the room he'd told me too. The master bedroom was huge, and I walked up to the bed before sitting on side of her. I turned on her lamp as quietly as I could. Placing my finger under her nose, I tickled her neck causing her to jump out of her sleep.

She grabbed my hand as I laughed. Her eyes squinted before she pushed me away. "Moveeee."

"Hello to you too. That's not what you say to someone you haven't seen in a while."

"A while? Janet it's been almost 8 years." She rolled her eyes at me. "What you doing here girl?"

"I need your help." I mumbled softly before showing her my bare hand.

Sharon sat up completely and shook her head. "Noooo."

"Yes."

"Not only did you get married and didn't invite me to the damn wedding but now you're leaving her?"

"She's leaving me." I corrected her.

"Let me put a jacket on, it's freezing. Give me a second." She got up and went into her closet. When she came back she'd put on a jacket and fixed her hair.
