"Nic I said I'm sorry." Jace sighed as he continued to pack his things. "I don't want your apologies, I want you to stay." He shook his head and moved me out of his way so he could get to his cases. "I can't I got shit to handle."

"What shit? Why can't we come? I asked referring to myself & Armani. "Jayceon do you love me?" He frowned. "What kind of question is that?"

"A question that needs an answer. So do you?"

"Of course I do." He answered. "Then don't go."

"Nicki you're being real childish right now. I'm only going for a week and I promise I'll make it up to you." He reached into his wallet and pulled out his black card. "Take this and treat yourself-" I grabbed it and threw it back at him.

"No. I don't want your money Jace." Just then we heard beeping outside letting us know his car was here.

: Vegas!🍾

I rolled my eyes seeing that Jace had posted a new picture on IG, and the picture definitely didn't look like he was doing business. I started scrolling through his comments, 3 caught my attention.

- Hey daddy😍,miss you

- Answer your phone!

- Check Dm💙

First of all what was Kayla Dm'ing him about? This bitch needs to be worried about getting a DNA test on her son.

I decided to check their pages, Liyah was pretty but not as pretty as me plus Jace didn't follow her back, then there was Jade, there wasn't much on her page that was of interest to me, I continued scrolling and stopped when I started noticing pictures of her and Jace.

: BESTFRIEND ❤️ #Jade&Jace #JJForever

: He always got my back & I always got his. Ride or Die ish

: tb to my birthday last year 🎉 #21

If they were such good friends how come I never heard of her before, what did he have to hide?

But since Jace was out in Vegas enjoying himself, why couldn't I have a little fun too.

A couple of weeks ago I asked Chanel for Chris's number, I felt bad about cutting him off when me and Jace first got together and I wanted to call and check up on him. Since Jace was away this was the perfect time to call Chris.

"Hey Chris. It's Nicki..." I said nervously when he finally answered. "Wassup baby girl, I haven't heard from you in a minute. I tried calling but you went and changed your number on me."

"Yeah... Sorry I've been real busy."

"I know I heard you had a baby. How is she?" He asked. "She's good... Chris I miss you." I confessed.

"I miss you too baby girl, I'm not busy right now do you wanna go for something to eat- my treat." I thought about it for a minute, I knew Jace would be angry but I was still upset that he left me.

"Yeah okay. Where do you want to go?"

"Our place?" I smiled at his suggestion, 'our place' was this little restaurant near Chris' house that we always use to go to.

"Alright, I just stepped out the shower so give me like 2 hours to get ready and get someone to watch Armani-" he cut me off. "No bring her, I want to meet her."

"Alright I'll see you."

"Bye Nic, love you." I froze at him saying he loved me, I didn't know what to say back so I just hung up.

•

"Hi." I waved as I walked over to Chris, as usual I was late so he had probably been sitting here for like an hour.

"Hey beautiful, wow this is Armani? She looks just like you."

"Everybody says she looks like Jace..." I shrugged. "No that's all you, can I hold her?" He asked and I nodded.

"Wassup pretty baby." He smiled lifting her up from her carrier.

"Chris I wanted to apologise, you were one of my closest friends and I treated you like shit, I'm sorry that I haven't contacted you in so long and-" he reached across the table and held my hand. "It's cool baby girl relax, you're here now that's what matters right?"

"You ready to order?"

•

"No I did not!" I gasped laughing loudly as Chris brought up what I did while drunk at one of his parties a few years back.

"Yes you did! Dancing all on the tables and shit."

I smiled. "I missed you Chris... Remember my cousin Jessica? Well she's having a party tonight, do you wanna come?"

•

: 👑

"Hello." I said rolling my eyes as Jace called seconds after I posted my new picture on Instagram.

"Where you going?!" He yelled. "First of all lower your tone, secondly, mind your business."

"You are my business, where the fuck you going wearing that short ass dress? Is Mack with you?" I sucked my teeth. "It's not short and no he's not , I fired him."

"What?!"

"He called me spoiled and then the other day he came over high saying some shit like 'shouldn't you be in school?' To me. Basically calling me a child. That's disrespectful Jayceon!" I yelled.

"Alright chill stop yelling in my ear. I'm not letting you go out with no one looking out for you so I'll call up Ryan."

I shrugged. "Yeah whatever."

"Where are you right now?" He asked. "In my car on my way to Jessica's party."

"With who?" I bit my lip, I couldn't tell Jace I was going with Chris because he'd be mad extra and start talking shit. "Uh I'm going to meet Chanel and Lauryn there.."

"Alright, call me when you get home."

"Okay."

•

I walked into the party and spotted Chris straight away, I couldn't help but bite my lip looking at him as he poured his drink. He looked good.

"Chris." I called out and he looked up at me. "Baby girl!"

"Aye move over." He said to one of the girls who was all over him. "Have a seat baby girl." I say next to him and he pulled me into a hug.

"You ready to have some fun?" He smiled pouring me a shot. "Always." I winked.
