After spending another night with Brandon in my room instead of Milani, I had a lot of time to think about sum shit and I realized I need that girl. No matter how mad she makes me, I'm crazy about her and I can't leave New York without making things right. It's eating me up inside to know that the woman I love is hurting because of a childish ass mistake that I made.

Stepping out of the shower and getting dressed, I walk back into the room then plop down on the bed; answering my ringing phone.

"Wassup Pop?"

"Drummer, how you doing boy? I ain't heard from you since your mama's funeral."

"I'm doing good, man. I had to take some time to clear my mind. How you doing?" I ask as I pour myself a shot.

"Some days are harder than others, but I try to keep myself occupied to keep my mind off everything. I was calling to tell you that Tae is awake and has some information about who hit him and your mama. He won't tell anybody the information. He said he'll only tell you so I was wondering if you wanted to head to the hospital so we can get to the bottom of this shit." My dad explains, inhaling deeply which lets me know that he's smoking a blunt.

"I'm in New York right now, but I'll come pick you up then we'll go to the hospital when I get back. I gotta fix some shit first though."

"Everything okay, son?"

Sighing loudly, I take another shot before answering. "Yeah, woman problems. I made a dumb bet with Brandon about Milani and she found out about it. She was actually coming to tell me she loved me when she overhead us talking bout the bet so everything fucked up right now and it's my fault."

"Dallas, that was dumb as hell for you to make that bet, but I know how you are and you can't let go of a challenge. That'll be your downfall one day. I've never seen you act this way over a woman, not even Ariyah so I know you really love her. Get her back son and try your best not to fuck up again. Good luck. I'll holla at you later."

"I hear ya pops. Ima fix it. I swear I will." I say before hanging up and downing another shot then thinking of what I'm gonna do to make it up to Milani.

"I'm bout to head out, B. I need to borrow yo ride."

"If I let you borrow my car, are you gonna fix shit with Milani?" He says with squinted eyes.

"Why you so worried bout it?" I ask as I try to snatch the keys from his hands, but he moves quickly.

"Because I fixed shit with my woman, but I still can't be with her like I wanna because Milani don't wanna be in this room with you. It's fucking up my pussy and you know how I am about my pussy."

"Brandon, I don't give a damn about you and Chanel's sex life, but if you must know, yeah I'm tryna fix it so like I said, I need to borrow yo ride. You wasting time that I could be using to set some shit up for Lani."
