Ace rubbed his hand down his face. “Y’all went to Tiana’s house?”

“She was online talking shit,” I explained shrugging my shoulders.

“So you went to fight her?”

“I went to talk.” Sierra snorted. I cut my eyes at her. “You can leave.”

“Gladly.”

Stephen grabbed her hand and led her toward the door. “We talking when we get home.”

“There’s nothing to talk about.” The door closed behind them before I could laugh. Ace stood in front of me with his arms folded. “What?” I asked.

“Sit down.”

“I don’t like your tone.”

“Kema.” I sat on the couch. Ace disappeared into the bathroom and returned with a wet towel and the first-aid kit.

“You mad?” I asked.

“I’m trying not to be.”

“She hit me first baby." I said pouting and reaching for him. "I sorry."

He grabbed my hand and looked at my broken nail. “Yo ass too fucking pretty to be fighting. I could've got somebody to handle that bitch for you.”

I giggled, "I can handle myself."

He shook his head chuckling, "I see with yo Adrien Broner ass."

We both burst out laughing. "I'm really mad I aint get to see my baby in action. Y'all jumped that girl didn't ya?"

I looked away trying to hide the smirk on my lips. He shook his head at me before he placed two fingers beneath my chin and turned my face toward him. “Don't handle no shit like this by yourself again. You understand me?"

I nodded my head as he gently cleaned the corner of my mouth before pressing an ice pack against my face.

“Did anybody save the Live?” he asked.

“Serenity did.”

“Send it to me. If Tiana tries to press charges, my attorney needs everything that happened before y'all went over there.”

“You really think she’ll call the police?”

"I don't know. Her live aint gon' justify y'all showing up to her house, but I want my attorney prepared before she decides to play victim."

I sent him the video and rested my head against his shoulder. “You still love me?” I asked.

“Nah.”

I lifted my head. “What?”

Ace chuckled. “I’m playing.”

“Don’t play like that.”

He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead. “I love your crazy ass.”
