I take a shower and go downstairs to get ready for my morning run. G must've stayed out all night because he's not at home. I hope he's OK because that not like him to stay out all night. I know he seeing some girl on the other side of town but he always comes home even if it is early in the morning. I'll call his phone when I get back from my run. He probably had some business to handle early this morning. I have been meaning to thank him for pulling the weight around here since mama died. I'm so proud to have him as a big brother, without him I wouldn't know what to do. He told mama he would look after me and I respect him for everything he's doing. I need to tell him more often just how much I appreciate what he's doing around here to keep things together. This house is all we have left of mama and G had it remodeled earlier this year. I moved into mama bedroom but G kept the same room he had since we where kids. Nobody is allowed at the house but us and I respect him on that. He says this house is the only safe haven he has from all the bullshit that goes on out there in those streets so it's off limits to everybody. James fucked up and followed me home a few months ago without me knowing it and G got dead on his ass. I had left and went to the grocery store and James just kept calling me back to back but I didn't answer because once again he was on some bullshit. I don't know how he knew where I was, he must've spotted my truck and he followed me back to the house. I called G when I was pulling up so he could come out and help me with the groceries and as soon as I got out my truck I hear someone yell Diamond. As I turned around to see who it was G was coming out the house. Before I could say a word G was on James ass.
Nigga what they fuck you doing following my sister he yelled at James. This is private property, Don't know nigga touch foot on these grounds but me.
I just came to talk to diamond, James said.
That's what the fuck she got a phone for so I suggest you try calling the mutherfucka.
I did she wouldn't answer.
That meant she didn't want to be fucked with nigga. Since you didn't catch that, catch this.
And before I could say anything G punched James so hard in the face the nigga fell backwards.
This my shit and I'm the only nigga allowed around here unless I invite them and nigga I don't send out invitations.
Don't come around here ever again, you got that nigga. Now get the fuck up and burn off before the first 48 be coming around this bitch.
James didn't say another word he just got up and ranned to his car like a little bitch.
Diamond what the fuck that nigga doing following you here?
I didn't know James was following me G.
I told you to pay more attention to your surrounding, it's a lot of sick mutherfuckas out here in these streets. Don't nobody need to know where you lay your head at. You need to start paying more attention.
I'm out there in those streets all day and half the night hustling and when I get home I just wanna relax. The last thing I need is strange ass niggas I don't know popping up at my house. I'm watching my ass out there all day I be damn if I have to come home and do the same damn thing.
That's why I never tell nobody where I live and I always pay attention to my surrounding and you need to start doing the same thing. The last thing I need is something to happen to you cause you all caught up in your own lil world.
OK G I got you, it won't happen again
I hope not cause I hate to get caught up for having to bust a nigga in his ass for coming around here.
G was totally right. I be so caught up in my own world that I don't be paying attention. But after that incident with James following me home I'm always checking in my mirrors to make sure nobody is following
me, I never allow my phone to give my location and I try to tell G every where I go so he'll know my whereabouts at all times.
I don't think James is out to harm me, he loves me too much but that nigga do be flipping out when I don't answer his calls so you never can trust him.
When I got in the house G was in the kitchen making breakfast.
You want some lil sis? I made enough for both of us.
No G I got an audition coming up in a few days and i'm trying to watch my figure.
Oh really lil sis, I don't think a lil breakfast is gonna put on to many pounds. You know breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Yea it may be but to stuff myself full of pancakes is not gonna help what i'm trying to do. I'll grab something a little later. If you not busy maybe I can treat you to lunch to show my appreciation for all you do for me.
Well if you treating I just may take you up on that offer. It's not everyday my baby sis treat me to lunch.
Yea I'll take you to burger king and let you have it your way.
Really funny sis, Burger King is really showing your appreciation.
You know i'm balling on a budget lol.
Oh yea sis some mail came for you yesterday, it's in there on the living room table. I was so busy yesterday I forgot to tell you.
Busy doing what if I may ask, I see you was up early this morning
Yea I got a big shipment coming in today and I got to make sure these niggas don't fuck up nothing. That reminds me I might have to take a ran check on lunch cause I have to do a lot of drop offs and I don't know what time i'm gonna get through.
That's OK I got a lot of things to do today too, I got a photo shoot at ten then I have to meet this man about a modeling job so I may not be free for lunch either. We can get together another time alright. It'll still be on me.
That's a bet just keep me posted throughout the day. You know the routine.
You know I'll call you if my schedule changes.
Diamond grabs her mail off the living room table and runs upstairs remembering she has to call Keisha and tell her about posting those damn pictures. She still ain't came up with the lie to tell James. That will have just to wait until she come up with something.
She grabs here phone and dials Keisha's number as she opens the mail.
One is her phone bill and the other is from a modeling company she had an interview with last week. She decides on the phone bill first because she's not ready to be in a foul mood if the letter from the modeling company is another reject letter.
Seventy dollars, I really need to lower my plan but oh well I'll just give it to James to pay. If he wants a way to talk to me he has no choice but to pay the bill.
Keisha picks up as she grab the second letter and starts reading it.
Hey girl whats up? Last night was such much damn fun. Did you get that nigga number that was all up on you the whole damn night.
No I didn't cause you know I got a man and I don't need James having no more excuses to be on more bullshit if he finds some random nigga number in my phone.
Damn the nigga be all up in yo phone too, I know that nigga money long but your phone should be off limits.
It is, but that don't mean he won't go get a copy of my records just to check.
I know that nigga ain't on no stalker shit like that. Oh hell n'all we have to hurry up and find you another nigga to help pay them bills cause James on some straight bullshit.
Yea that's why I was calling you. Why the fuck would you post those pictures from last not on face book and I lied and said I was out of town at a modeling job. The crazy bitch woke me up going off about some dame pictures I knew nothing about now I got to come up with a good as lie so the nigga can give me money to go to the modeling convention next week. I told you never to post pictures of my without my consent. You know James be looking for any reason to go off on me.
Girl how the fuck do you put up with that shit. Yea he may pay your bills but the nigga don't own you.
Shut up wait a minute.
Don't tell me to shut up I know damn well you not defending that nigga to me.
