Being set up as an accessory to a crime Jace is caught between her old life & her new life. Everyone must play their cards right for this to work. If one falls we all fall. For once in her life Jace had to trust someone besides herself & that person...
Kendra: that you're an extension of him. People will get to you so they can get to him. You could be the piece to unravel his whole operation. East is not going to think straight when it comes to you.
Jace: what the fu- You're the one that was so pressed for us to be together!
Kendra: that's before all this drama happened! Nothin gon happen to you..But I wouldn't be a friend if I didn't tell you everything.
I spazz.
Jace: I'm just a bitch that worked at the bank! What are you talking about! ____________________________________ * A couple days later*
Looking back it seemed like my life was easier being a bank teller and dating a deadbeat. I wasn't built for what Kendra was talkin bout.
It's been a minute since I been to Ms.B's house. I got dressed went down to the parking garage. I open my car door & in the passenger was the most beautiful roses I've ever seen in my life.

I stared at them in awe for the longest. I get in my car & pull out the small note stuck in the bouquet.
"Have dinner with me. Friday 8pm -Love East"
*BUZZ*BUZZ*
I look down at my phone and it was a number I didn't recognize.
Jace: hello?
East: did you get the flowers ?
Jace: yea I'm lookin at em now...they're beautiful, thank you.
East: yea, I had to get something that matched you.
I blush.
Jace: what makes you think I wanna go to dinner with you?
East: well I wasn't asking.
I smirk.
Jace: see you Friday.
I hang up because I was bursting at the seems. I drive to Ms.B's house. ____________________________________
Ms.B: so I heard about what happened at the park.
I roll my eyes.
Jace: I know what you're gonna say-
Ms.B: No, I'm glad!
She squeezes my hand and smiles. I was stunned.
Ms.B: The smack heard across the city! Somebody finally smacked the grease out Jason's head for you.
I laugh.
Jace: oh you heard about East.
Her smile disappears.
Ms.B: East?
Jace: yea the one that smacked the grease out of Jason's head?
Ms.B: .....you be careful.
Jace: how does everybody know about this man but me.
She laughs.
Ms.B: Nobody knows about East. That's the point.
I damn sure wasn't going to tell her about this date. ___________________________________
*FRIDAY* JACE P.O.V.*
Kendra: you excited ?
Jace: I'm scared.
Kendra: you look good! He should be scared of you!
We laugh.
JACE

Kendra: where y'all goin?
Jace: I don't know he hasn't told me.
*KNOCK* KNOCK*
Kendra: must be hhhiimmm.
We squeal and I head over to the door. I open it and-
Kendra: Harpo who this white man ?
White man: I'm Mr. East's driver. I will be your chauffeur tonight.
Kendra: East got a white driver ?
Disappointment ran across my face.
Jace: seems a little informal.
Kendra: girl get out go! I wish Deleon would hire a white driver for our dates! It's called reparations! Have fun!
Kendra hands me my purse and pushes me out the door.
