Desiree' POV

"Unfortunately, there's nothing that I can do for you. There's a video of you assaulting a guest-"

"I wasn't assaulting him, I shoved him away from me."

"And then you walked out on your shift and didn't return. I'm sorry Desireé, but  this behavior is unacceptable and we have to terminate your employment here."

"Yeah, whatever," I got up and took my things before exiting the building. I had to go to Dallas anyway.

Now my ass needs to find another fucking job. Thank you Odell.

Odell POV

Me and my mom were on our way to meet with the team and the owners and stuff, take pictures, things like that. But I just couldn't get last night out of my head.

There was an older woman who was working the front desk, "Hey, um, do you know where the girl who was working the front desk last night is?"

"Oh, don't worry sir, she's been let go."

Let go?

"Let go? She was just here last night, why would she get fired?"

"We saw the video of her altercation with you in the elevator and we must say we give our sincerest apologies, and are willing to accommodate  you in anyway that we can."

I shook my head, "You can give her her job back. It ain't that serious, it was my fault."

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

I sighed, "I understand, she gon be good anyway." I turned to face my mom who was waiting at the door.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah," I nodded and with that we headed out of the hotel.

"Ayo, you know anything about that girl Desiree' that worked here?" I asked one of the security guards that were outside the door.

He looked me over before he recognized me, "Aye, you the nigga that got drafted last night!" He dapped me up. "You gotta be nice for us, cuz we need some help."

"I got you, believe that," I smiled. "But, uh yeah what's up with ole girl? We went to college together."

"Nothing really. She a cool ass girl, quiet, work hard. She don't go looking for trouble, so don't bring her none. She gotta come all the way from Brooklyn and gotta go back at four every morning by herself," he shook his head.

"Damn, thanks man good lookin' out," I dapped him up again before  getting in the car.

"Who was that?" My mom asked.

"Just somebody who recognized me."

"Oh well that's nice," she smiled, "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks ma," I kissed her cheek.

The meetings went well and in between  every picture and every and handshake I was on my phone looking up all of the Desireé Blacks that were leasing an apartment in Brooklyn.

When in doubt, get a fucking phone book.

Finally on the way back to the hospital I found her address.  172 Ralph Ave. apt. 4R - Desireé Elise Black.

My mom got out of the car and once we were in our rooms I changed my clothes.

"Ma," I tapped on her door, "imma go get something to eat, okay?"

"Okay, be safe," she called back.

"I will."

I headed downstairs and flagged a cab. That shit took a while, it was harder than it looked in them damn movies.

I told him where I wanted to go and with traffic it took about two hours to get there.

I got out in front of what I thought was a regular building until I went to open the door and the shit was locked and barred shut.

I buzzed the button for 4R and waited for her to buzz back.

"I'm coming Chen," her voice rang through the intercom.

Who the fuck is Chen?

A few minutes later her and all her hair appeared from the stairs.

She looked up at me through the door and yelled through the glass, "How did you find out where I live?! Go away! What part of I. Hate. You. Don't you get?! You got me fired from I job that I need, because unlike you the only income I make is legal and taxable. Go away!" She turned and went back up the stairs.

I wasn't going anywhere. I decided to just wait for Chen, whoever the fuck that was.

Ten minutes later I still sat on the stoop and a Chinese guy walked towards the building with some food in his hands.

He buzzed the intercom and her voice rang through, "Go the fuck away."

"Wow baby girl. Who pissed in your wheaties," he laughed.

Baby girl?

"Chen!" I could here the smile in her voice, "Use the key in the mailbox boo."

Oh this is fucking Chen. Fuck Chen. (A/N: Chen in the mm)

He pulled a key from the slot below the intercom and entered the building.

I waited a long time to see if Chen would come back down, but he didn't.

I ended up just going back to the hotel. I needed a way to get Dezzy to listen to me. I needed her around, because I couldn't deal with her hating me.

I know I deserved it, but I needed her to know that I never stopped loving her, and that I needed her to love me back.
