Numb

Chapter 2️⃣0️⃣

Ammika's POV

I looked at him for a second, shocked to see him. I pushed the button for the window and rolled it down.

"What the hell are you doing here? Have you been following me?"

"No, I actually was admiring the blue McLaren that was parked over there and I saw you come out of the restaurant."

"Yeah, right. What do you want?" I ask

"To talk."

"There's nothing to talk about. I have to go, I'm going out of town tonight." I say instantly irritated.

"Where are you going?" He asks

"I'm going to LA with Joe. He wants me to travel with him this week."

"So that's ya man now?" He frowns

"He's been my man and you know that." I roll my eyes. He's just trying to be funny but I don't find anything funny.

"Well the fam doesn't like him."

"I don't care. I don't give a damn what my family has to say about him." I say

"So you're going to go against family for him?"

"I already have."

"Just come home." He pleads

"Goodbye Ty...." I started pushing a button to roll the window up, but I stopped when he spoke.

"Wait. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere." He runs off.

I contemplated driving off anyway but maybe he really has something important to give me so I just wait.

I pick my phone up and I call Joe.

"Hello?" He answers

"Hey." I say somewhat nervous.

"Hey." He says

"I'm sorry." I'm feeling a little bit worse than I was a few minutes ago when this actually happened.

"It's okay. Just leave her alone. If I wouldn't have come in, I don't know how that would've gone. I appreciate what you were trying to do but nothing is going to change. She isn't going to change." He says

"It really bothers me because you're such a good man. I don't see why she would wanna be so hateful towards you. I just don't understand it. I thought if I could step in and just talk to her that I could somewhat reason with her and she would let up a little bit, but it didn't work. I'm sorry." I say

"Thank you for trying, baby. Where are you? I'm about to pull up to the house." He asks

"I'm still at the restaurant. I ran into Ty and I'm talking to him."

"Oh, what does he want?"

"I don't know. We're just catching up a little. He ran to get something out of his car. I should be home in 15."

"Okay. I like that you said home. Hurry home to daddy." He laughs

I giggled a little, "I'll be there as soon as possible."

"Aight." He says and we end the call.

A few seconds later Tyler comes back. He drops something in my lap. I look down and it's a brick of money.

"What's this for?" I ask, looking at it sitting in my lap.

"Your monthly."

"I'm cut off." I say

"Just take it. It's from me. I know you and the fam aren't getting along right now and they don't know I'm doing this. Your father would kill me but I need to make sure you're okay. If he won't, I will."
