After the girls spent the day out shopping spending their father's money. They made their way back to Bri's place. Bri is currently on FaceTime with Keria about to bust a blood vessel trying to figure how Cameron knows her.

"I am so serious. He said, 'See you later love, or should I say Brielle.' Bitch about time I caught on, he was pulling out of the parking lot in a fye ass Range."

"What he looks like? Was he cute?"

"He was taller than me, caramel colored skin, head full of hair, and healthy beard. Hell, yea he was cute."

Kai looked up from her MacBook and looked at her sister. "So, you're telling us that you have never seen this man a day in your life?"

Bri shook her head. "Nope, not until today."

"Maybe he goes to your school." Bri looked into the camera. "I think I would have recognized him."

Kailani looked at Bri and shook her head. "Yea you're slow, convinced our parents dropped you on your head. Bri you moved off campus after your second semester."

"Stupid."

Bri looked into the camera and gave Keria a stank face. "Girl fuck you and that doesn't mean anything. I was still on campus for an entire year."

Kai reverted her eyes back to the screen of her MacBook. "He could be a transfer, or he probably bought a jewelry piece from you."

During the end of Brielle's sophomore to the beginning of her junior year of high school, she started her own jewelry business, The Diamond Palace. Her pieces vary from: Cuban links, pendants, rings, earrings, necklaces, and custom pieces. She even specializes in mouth pieces. Her business was doing good just for her to be in high school. Too bad all that changed once she met her ex, Tylan.

Tylan was the best thing that happened to Bri, or so she thought. She met him when she was going through a rough a patch in life and he came into her life and turned it around for the better. Everything was good in the beginning until Tylan's infidelity became a piece in the puzzle. Y'all know the saying.

'what's done in the dark shall appear in the light'.

Honestly, to this day Bri would probably still be in a relationship with him if this boy did not go on social media exposing 'down low' boys. Tylan was cheating on her with him. The boy had explicit pictures and videos of things that him and Tylan did. It was embarrassing and when she saw the videos, it made her sick to her stomach. She slipped into a mild depression and lost focus within everything.

Her investors and diamond dealers threaten to pull out, so her parents made the executive decision to shut her business down until she was in the right head space. She reopened during her senior year and business has been booming ever since. She is actually hoping to open up a store front soon.

"He had to, because I have never seen him a day in my life."

"We need to find out how this nigga know you, but I about to go. Jaylen is about to take me on a date. I love you both."

"I love you too and be safe." Kai and Bri spoke simultaneously. Bri hung up and placed her phone on the marble countertop.

"Bri I know this was supposed to be a sister's weekend, but uh I'm about to go. I just got that 'come spend the night' text."

Bri shook her head and started pouting. "You bitches always leaving me and when did you start fucking with somebody from out here?"

Kai laughed and stood up. "You'll be okay and about five to six months ago."

Bri threw a dish rag at her. "You sneaky little whore." She looked off to the side and mumbled. "Wish I had somebody."

Here she goes Kailani thought. She shook her head before speaking. "Bri I'm not even about to entertain you right now, because if you wanted a man, you could get one. If you control your sour ass attitude and stop being mean all the damn time, you could get a man. You be running niggas off. Every nigga you come across is not Tylan or any other nigga that done did you dirty. Open up little, give somebody a chance."

Kailani walked towards the back into her room to retrieve her bag and walked back to the front.

"Please take what I said into consideration Bri. I just want you happy. I love you and you got my location. I'll be back in the morning." Kailani walked out of the door and Bri locked it behind her.

Maybe I should take what my sister said into consideration. Maybe I do need to open up a little. I want to but it is not easy. Once you build a wall around yourself it is hard to let people in. Every time I try to give somebody a chance, they show me why I shouldn't. The last boy I called myself dealing with was Treyvon.

It was okay in the beginning, but then he just became too much for me. He was the type of nigga that liked to be the center of attention and I ain't like dat. He was cocky and arrogant. It didn't help that he was a transfer basketball signee either. It is crazy though because he initiated everything. He talked to me first. Then the exchange in hugs started and I developed a small crush on him.

We started to talk more, and I was slowly letting my guard down. Then he just quit talking to me, no explanation or nothing. I didn't trip about it because he wasn't the first nigga to just up and stop talking to me. I also didn't trip because I was losing interest.

I often wonder is it me? Like what do I be doing wrong? I shook my head and laughed. If my sisters knew I was questioning myself, I would not hear the end of it. Maybe it's just not my time for a relationship, who knows. They always say the right one comes least expected.

It was a Friday night, and I am in the house. I shook my head, damn I need some friends. Guess I'll finish this custom piece. I made sure everything was off in the front and walked towards the back to my spare room. The piece is a 14k solid white gold Cuban link, with rose gold butterflies placed around it. I hit a button on my phone and 702 x Get It Together blared throughout my condo.

I grabbed my glasses and walked towards my table. I grabbed my tools and began adding the butterflies. I had sung softly to music as I worked.

About an hour later, I was finished. I polished the piece and placed it into a velvet box. It was beautiful. When I sketched the design, I didn't think it would turnout like this. My growth is immaculate.

Another ten in my bank account. I did the Bankhead bounce and took a picture for my portfolio. I closed the box and wrapped in bubble wrap before placing it into the shipping box. I printed the shipping label off and sealed the box. I cleaned up my mess and walked to my room to shower.
