“What are your charges?”

“They gotme for attempted premeditated murder and attempted robbery with a firearm.” She said.

I feltweak as fuck right now. “In the state of Florida that 10, 20, life shit was real. “When can I come talk to you?”

“I’ll beable to have visits tomorrow, Meek, go on the website to find everything out.”

“You okay?”I asked her. She always sounded strong, so it was hard to tell. Emotion was something she wasn’t good at.

“Just cometalk to me tomorrow. I need a lawyer; a good one.”

“I already have one.Don’t worry about that. I’ll be there tomorrow.”

“I know you’re mad,but I love you.” She said.

“I love you too.”I disconnected the call and grabbed my keys off the counter. I turned around to put my jacket on and noticed that Kisha was standing right behind me.

“Is everything okay?”She asked.

“Reesie got locked up.I’m going to see my lawyer now.” I looked her up and down from her pretty face to her pretty toes. “Get dressed, I gotta take you to.”

She shook her head.“Meek, I’m fine trust me. You go ahead, anyway Mya is on her way over and we want to have lunch.” She said. “Go handle your business, you’re going to have to trust me.”

I thought about it,and I guess she was right. “You need money?” I asked her.

“I havemoney in my purse. Remember you brought it back to me after you killed Kidd.” She said. “Which reminds me, I want to go ahead and claim the money that my daddy had set up for me.”

I didn’t knowif that was a good idea. For some reason, I felt like it I allowed her to put all that money in her hands she would find the wrong shit to do with it and let the weakness of coke get to her. I hated that she even tried that shit the first time cause it was hard to come back from that. “Kisha, please don’t disappoint me, please.” I begged.

She wrappedher arms around my neck and pulled my body close hugging me. “I promise I won’t.” She said.

In orderfor me to really know, I had to take her word for it until she showed me otherwise. I took the spare key off my key ring and passed it to her. “Here you go, and be safe out there.”

The amountof butterflies I felt passing her that key was unreal. Like this shit was supposed to be like this, God didn’t bring us back here for nothing but we’d soon find out. I walked out and locked up behind me as I made my way to see what I could do about Reesie. This shit was crazy.

CHAPTER 10

“Bitch! I can’t believe I’m standing here looking at you!” Mya squealed. “I thought I would never see you again!” She said as we stood at the front door embracing each other.

I pulled backand grabbed her arm. “Girl, get your butt in here out the cold.” I said smiling while closing the door. “How have you been Mya? Like how have you really been? You never called me.” I said.

She tooka seat on the couch wearing a pair of Tru Religion jeans and a matching shirt with a big white bomber jacket. Her hair was styled in a bob cut and she wore a pair of boots. “I’ve been okay Kisha.” She smiled. “Look at you girl, you look good!”

One lookin her eyes and I knew she wasn’t as good as she made it seem. “Un unt bitch don’t give me that.” I said pointing. “I know you.”

“Whattt?”She giggled and then she was looking sad. “It’s been hard Kisha.” She said as her eyes watered. “It’s been real hard.” She wiped her eyes. “It’s fucked up how when adults bring children into this world, they don’t think about the consequences of what may actually happen to that child for their bad decision making.”

Shit,now she was making me cry. “That’s so true.” I shook my head agreeing.

She looked up at me.“Now look how I’ve got you crying.” She said giggling and wiping more tears. “Shucks this is supposed to be a happy moment.”

I grabbedher hand into mine. “It is a happy moment.” I said. I was all prepared to tell her about my addiction problems that I was going through but seeing how distraught she was with her own life; I decided against it.

“Look,let’s just go have our lunch and do some catching up. I’m so glad to have you back I don’t know what to do, and Meek? He’s an angel, Kisha, you should keep him and never let go.”

I thoughtabout what she said but I already knew that. I’ve always loved Meek since day one and the shit wouldn’t go anywhere. “Come on.” I said. “Let me get my shoes and purse. You wanna do cheesecake?” I asked.

“Yeah girl,we can do that. Sounds good.” She said.
