"Mr.Boweman....Mr.Boweman" My receptionist called after to me. "Yes?" I said to her. She waved me over and I walked over to her.

Her calling my name like that we giving me dejavu, to when she was telling me about Aaliyah and my child. "Yes?" I said again as I approached her.

"Danielle. She said can you call her ASAP." She smiled delivering the message. "Of course. Thank you. Have a great night" I smiled and walked away.

I really didn't know what was so urgent. I hadn't talked to Danielle in months. Not since the family reunion. I ain't have no problem with her but she just went ghost.

I failed Danielle's number as I walked towards my car. "Bubba" I heard Danielle voice call out.

I looked around and saw her waking up. "Danielle?" I questioned. "What are you doing on L.A?" I asked.

She smiled and pulled me into a hug "Hey bubs. I wanted to tell you I'm moving to L.A" she said excitedly.

"From Bama? Why?" I asked. I don't know how excited I was to have my sister move to town. She crossed her arms "New beginnings. I want a fresh start"

"Okay. Why couldn't you just tell me about moving here over the phone. What was so urgent?" I asked. "Danny" Someone called Danielle.

"Hold that thought" she turned around and waved to the person in the distance. I waited for the person to walk up. I smacked my teeth "Man Nah" I started walking away.

"Bubba. Stop. Don't be rude" Danielle grabbed my arm. "It's nice that your moving here and all but I don't fuck with her." I said rudely.

"Nice to see you too Darius" she smirked. I mentally rolled my eyes and nodded my head at her "Hi Jamera"

"So what y'all friends now?" I asked suspiciously. "Just cause y'all broke up don't mean we can't be friends." Danielle defended.

"I don't even care. I got nothing to do with that. I got a girl and child to take care of. Y'all have a goodnight."

"About that. I need somewhere to stay until you know I get on my feet. I thought who not better than Darius." Danielle smiled.

I rose an eyebrow "Ummm." I said hesitantly. She smacked her teeth "You really have to think about it?" She questioned.

"Yea. Ion trust you in my house." I said seriously. "If you had asked me I would've said yes. Immediately" Jamera commented.

"Good she ain't ask ya ass." I scuffed. "Darius Boweman. Don't be rude" Danielle said to me.

"Since y'all the best of friends. Live with Jamera. I'm done. Love you sis" I kissed her cheek.

I started walking away to my car "Bye to you too." Jamera yelled. I turned around and chuckled "Your a joke" I waved her off.

I shook my head to myself thinking about my sister moving out here. I ain't even know the point of her coming all the way out here from Alabama.

Her life was out there, I mean I don't really know how much of a life she had out there but I know she had enough.

I pulled up to Aaliyah house and opened it with my key. "Liyah" I yelled throughout the house.

She walked in the front room with a hoodie and tights on. "Stop yelling im right here" She said with Kamryn on her hip.

"Oh wassup" I kissed her cheek. She playfully rolled her eyes. "Wassup" she replied.

"Hey Mooch" I took her out of Aaliyah hands. "Hi daddy" she said tiredly.

"How was y'all day? You go to work today?" I asked Aaliyah. She turned around and walked to the kitchen "Nope"

I slightly groaned to myself "So when you plan on going back to work?" I asked while I followed behind her.

"I don't know. When I'm ready" she opened the fridge and got something to drink.

"Did you go to a meeting today?" She rolled her eyes "No Darius."

"Imma stop bugging you. You'll do your daily activities when your ready." I sat at the table.

"I saw Danielle today. She was with Jamera" I said changing the subject. "You saw Danielle today in L.A? With your ex? That's a little weird" she sat at the table with me.

"I know. Apparently Danielle is moving to L.A"

She slightly chuckled "What was wrong with Alabama. I thought she loved it there."

I shrugged "I thought so too. But she said she needed a new start or something like that."

She laughed and shook her head in disbelief "That's hard to believe. She probably want something from you. She always do."

"Aye now." I put my hand up. "What I'm just stating facts. Like when you were on the basketball team. She acted like she wanted to help the team but all she wanted was to date a team member of yours."

I laughed to myself thinking of that memory. Danielle played me good.

"Yea man. I'll holla at you tomorrow." I told my teammate.

"Fashoo playa. Good game" he dapped me up. I smiled "Thanks man. You too."

He nodded his head. "Wait. You seen my sister. I haven't seen her since the game ended." I asked him before he walked away.

"I saw her walking to her car with Jeremy awhile back."

"Preciate it." I nodded my head and he walked away. I really didn't know why my sister would be with Jeremy.

"Good game tonight Boweman" Jalen yelled coming up to me. "You the real star boy. You just might be something one day." I patted his back.

He laughed "You know me" he brushed himself off. We both talked and laughed until we got to the car.

"Bro Danny she in there?" Jalen pointed inside the car. I looked and saw Danielle making out with Jeremy and anything else she was doing.

I knocked on the window "Danny" I yelled. She looked up and covered herself. I opened the door and her and Jeremy nearly fell out.

"Fuck is you doing man" I asked snatching her out of the car. "What?" She said stumbling.

"I ain't agree you to help with them for you to hook up with the players." I said angrily.

"What you think I asked to be help with the team for. To be a good big sister. No" she scuffed.

I rolled my eyes "Get in the car so we can go. And Jeremy man. Fuck you" I turned to him.

He looked at me and quickly got out the car. "Imma holla at you later Jalen" I told him.

He dapped me "Yea man seem like you got enough problems."

"She's probably grown up since then" I commented. "I doubt it, she fought me over some four year old beef. She still the same Danielle she always was. I doubt she'll every grow up."

I sighed and shook my head. "I don't know."

I loved my sister with all my heart but had to admit she was childish and never knew how to act. I hope she grew up, for her sake.

"What is this nigga on?" Christian asked Prince, looking at him like he's crazy.

I looked at him and started laughing. Prince smacked his teeth "I'm just saying. I don't understand."

"Which part nigga. The fact that cheating ain't okay or the reason why girls always get mad about cheating." Christian asked.

"Both" prince yelled loudly. Nas, Christian And Wolf all looked at eachother and started laughing.

"That's exactly why you'll always be single" Nas said shaking his head.

"Says the single one with a child." Prince said with a duh facial expression.

Nas smacked his teeth "Shut up." He smacked him in the back of the head.

The two of them started arguing back and forth, and Wolf sat on his phone. "Nigga" Wolf said loudly.

Christian turned his head to look at him "What nigga?" He asked him.

"I ain't even mean to get your attention. Melody." Wolf pointed at me. "What?" I rose an eyebrow at him.

"Where your little bestie Ariana?" He asked me. I rolled my eyes "Why? So you can ruin her life. Nope. She good."

"Girl. Ain't nobody tryna be with that girl. But I wouldn't mind being her big distraction" he winked, making emphasis on big.

"Boy. Bye. She don't need no distraction right now." I responded.

He waved me off and I just went back on my phone. Nas came and sat next to me. "Wassup Mel money"

"Hey Nasiii" I extended his name. Me and Nas sat on the couch talking and laughing.

"What y'all over there laughing about?" Prince asked skeptical.

"Business" I said smartly. "Nigga why you all up in her face. Back up" Wolf said standing up to move Nas.

"Y'all need to relax" I playfully laughed. "It's not that serious."

I looked over at Christian "Why you looking like that?" I asked him. He shook his head and sat back in his seat "Nun"

I could sense he had a attitude,I didn't really know why. Maybe he thought me and Nas were too close but I ain't really think so. Me and Christian weren't dating but we were sort of talking and I ain't wanna disrespect him.

I went over to Christian and sat on next to him, I put my legs on his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck and sat next to him closely.

"What's wrong" I asked quietly. He lifted his head from his phone "I told you nothing" and he looked back at his phone.

I took his phone out his hand "I know what you said. But you look irritated. What I do?" He looked and stared at me "You and Nas just friends right?"

"Yea." I looked at him. He smirked "Then we good. I'm good." He reassured me.

"I still don't believe you" I sort of smiled at him. "Really okay." He readjusted himself in the seat.

He grabbed my chin and gave me a slow passionate kiss. "Believe me now?" He smirked.

I looked at him and just blushed. "So y'all just kissing in front of niggas now? So what y'all dating?" Prince asked.

"Stay outta grown folk business" Christian smiled and responded to Prince.

"Melody. Y'all dating" Wolf asked me. "Y'all heard him." I smirked and laid back.

Maurice was blowing me up for a couple weeks talking about he missed me and wanted to hang out. I think it's because him and Ariana broke up and he don't know what to do.

"Maurice. What did you do?" I asked him for the hundred time. Everytime I ask him where he was the night of the accident and he keeps changing the subject.

"That's not important." He waved me off. "Obviously it is. It ended a relationship."

"Were bound break up one day. We kept going back and forth."

"But the real question is where were you. You did something and obviously it's very secretive. Why you keeping it a secret?" I asked suspiciously.

Now I was suspicious on where he was. I mean nobody is this secretive about something unless it was serious.

He sighed "Uhh. It might come out and I'm tired of keeping this a secret."

I leaned forward in my chair and waited for him to answer.

"Are you serious?" I said shocked. I put my hand up over my mouth in surprise.

I can't believe this.
