What I Learned In L.A. (Sequel to What I learned at Hope Springs)

Michael's Woes

Briasha

"I don't know how to tell him." I spoke to Chris. It's been about 10 months since Micheal and more became official,and everything was great. Everything except me finding out that I'm pregnant. I didn't know how he would react. Now I was sitting in Chris office talking to him about it. "You need to tell him Bri." He advised me, but I wasn't even sure if I wanted a baby. I mean Jr. wasn't even one yet, that wouldn't be fair. I sighed, and felt my stomach tighten up. I need the throw up. I ran to Chris trash can and vomited. "You want me to tell him?" Chris asked, "cause you can't be ruining Brittany and me wedding with this crazy mess." He said. Chris and Brittany got engaged on Brittany birthday. They were getting married in three weeks. His office phone rung and he put it on speaker. "Yo, it's Mike, have you talked to Star today?" Mike was the only one who called me Star. Chris looked at me and I quickly shook my head no. I hadn't talked to Micheal in a few days actually, and I know he was probably worried about me.

"Alright Bro, I don't know man I think I should go to the cops, or something." "No, no. She'll come around man, just chill for a minute." Chris begged. I heard Micheal sigh, "okay. I'm gonna call B, and ask her." Chris hung up tell phone glaring at me. "Star, you gotta go man. I can't keep lying to Mike about not speaking to you. Now either you tell him, or I'm gonna tell him myself. I don't know why you insisted on me being the first person you told anyways." He scolded me. "I'm sorry Chris." I said grabbing my things so I could leave. He went in his drawer pulling out an manila envelope. "Here. This is the last time, you need to tell him or I will." He said giving me the envelope. Hopefully it was more then last time. "Thanks Chris." I said leaving his office.

Brittany

I walked into Chris building to drop off some documents. Plus I needed to talk to him a about our joint account, it had been coming up short for the past month or so. I passed Briasha while she was going out. Micheal had just called me and asked if I saw her, he said Chris hadn't seen her and here She was walking out his office. "Star what you doing ?" I asked but she ignored me and kept walking. I tilted my head to the side and slow jogged after her. "Hello, Star." I said grabbing her shoulder. She turned around, "oh hey Brittany." "So you didn't hear me, I was just talking to you." "No." She was lying, and she looked like she was up to no good. "What you doing here? Michael Is looking all over for you." "I was talking to Chris." I side eyed her. "Why?" I asked wanting to know why she needed to talk to my man. "I gotta go." She said running away from me. I walked into the building stopping by the front desk. "Becki, how long was Briasha here?" I asked. "About a hour and a half. I'm Not trying to start anything but she's been here every Tuesday and Wednesday for the past month or so." I shook my head. "Thanks."

All kinds of thoughts popped up in my head. 3 weeks before we get married I don't know what to think about. I sighed, finally making it to Chris' office. I didn't know what to think. He looked up once I walked in but he was on the phone. "Mike, I'm sure she's okay. I would tell you if I saw her." He said and I side eyed him. Why was he lying to Micheal She was just here, pretending like she didn't see me. "Hang up the phone Chris." I said giving him the ultimate side eye. He looked at me crazy, "Mike, B just walked in She looks mad, I'll call you back." He said. He hung up the phone. "Hey baby." He said. "Are you fucking Star?" I asked dropping my purse on the floor. "What?" "Chris don't fucking play with me, why are you lying to Micheal about seeing her I just saw her leave!" He sighed, babe let me explain." "Chris, I'm not doing this with you. We get married in 3 weeks! I can't believe you cheating on me!" I just kept going on and on. Chris walked over to me trying to talk to me but ignored him.

"Brittany! Let me talk!" He yelled. "What? Huh?" "She's pregnant." The words couldn't leave his lips fast enough before my hand graced the side of his face. A loud smack filled the room followed by an eerie silence. Chris looked at me like I had just lost my mind, before he grabbed my wrist squeezing tightly. He slammed me down on the couch. Once I was seated he got inches away from my face, his breathing almost like he was running a marathon. "Don't ever touch me like that again, do you understand?" He growled. I was low key scared, but he cheating so I don't care. My eyes filled with tears, "I can't believe you're cheating on me." "Shut the fuck up Brittany, ain't nobody cheating on you!" He yelled as he loosened his tie. "Let me fucking explain!" He demanded. "Okay, go ahead." I said. I watched as his jaws clenched tightly, He was trying to calm himself down. "She's pregnant from Micheal, She doesn't know how to tell him because she thinks it's too soon for her to be pregnant. I've been giving her money the past few weeks for her to stay in a hotel. I told her she needed to tell Micheal soon because I can not deal with this." After he finished I just felt all sorts of bad. I stood up walking over to him as he sat on his desk. His face was fire red, and I know he wanted to beat my ass. "So the money that's missing from our account is what you gave to her?" I asked. He shook his head yea.

I sighed, "baby." I said reaching to grab his face or something but he flinched. "Don't." He mumbled, his deep voice accompanied by his hard stare just made me feel some type of way, and I wanted him so bad right now. "I'm sorry." I whispered. "Whatever, I'll see you at home." He said walking around his desk to sit down in his chair. I.grabbed my purse and left the office. I felt really bad about accusing him of cheating on me Chris is a good guy I know he would never cheat in me, he was nothing like Micheal. I went back to my office, as soon as I got there my phone rung. "Hello." "Brit Brat. Have you talked to Star?"

I sighed, I wanted to tell Micheal what was going on, but that wasn't my place. "Its been months." He said sounding so devastated. "Micheal, she's okay, just give her some time." "She could be dead,I'm not understanding why you or Chris are not trying to help me. As soon as I get happy some bull shit happens." He said followed by a sob. Oh god is be crying? Why is he crying. "Sweetie, calm down." I said trying to comfort him, it was already bad that I was lying to him. "I'll fix it,okay Mikey." "I just need her back home B." "I got it." I said hanging up the phone. I rubbed my temples in frustration, and picked up my office phone. I dialed Star's number, she acted like she didn't know me earlier, but she will talk to me. "Star we need to talk." I said not even giving her a chance to say hello. "Brittany I'm busy." "You're not, and you NEED to meet me." I said. "Whatever. Where?" "Just come to my office now." "I'm on my way." She said hanging up.

Briasha walked in and sat down. "Micheal keeps calling." I said to her. "I know, I'm working on it." "So you working on it is you getting my fiancee to give you money for a place to live temporarily when you can just go home to Micheal." She sighed. "Brittany it's not like that." She said. "Then you need to explain cause I don't like that." "I just can't tell Micheal that I'm pregnant. He already has a small  child with you." "Its clear that Micheal loves you, if he didn't, I don't think that he'd be so concerned about what's going on with you." I told her.

"But what about you?" She asked. "What about me?" I answered. "Do you care?" "Why would I it has nothing to do with my life, that's y'all as long as my child is taken care of I'm fine." She sighed. "You need to call him." I said, "you can use my office." I said walking out.

Micheal

I sat at the table with my phone in front of me. I was just waiting for a call from somebody, anybody. Jr was sleeping, and my thoughts consumed me. All I could think about was Star and if she left me for good. What if she's stripping again because she can't find stable work and she doesn't want to tell me? I had been calling Chris and Brittany all day and neither of them had seen her. Brittany said she would fix it and I trusted that she would fix eveything. My phone rung, and I quickly answered it. "Hello." "Hey Micheal." I heard. "Oh gosh, Star. Baby where you been?" "Michael I'm okay." "Star you just up and left and why are you calling me from Brittany office?" "I guess we should talk." She said and that was the smartest thing she could have said. "I just wanna see you come home please." I said, "Whatever it is we can work through this." I told her. She hung up the phone. I waited for her your come. I stood by the window, and watched until a familiar car pulled up into the drive way. I went to the door swinging it open. Star walked up the walk way and finally made into my arms.

"Why you crying, what's wrong?" I asked her. She put her head down, trying not to look at me. I walked her in the house and we went to the couch and sat down. "Baby, what's wrong, please tell me." I asked her. "I'm sorry I left, I didn't know how to tell you." She said still crying. I sighed, "the easiest thing would have been to just tell me what's going on, I love you. Just tell me."

"Micheal, I'm pregnant." She said. I looked at her and grabbed her hands, as a huge smile spread across my face.

Sorry for the wait guys!! I know this is short I had a little writers block for this book mostly because my ideas were for another book.

I.don't know if you guys have heard of a singer named ALESSIA CARA, she sings a song called "Here". Well, I'm obsessed with the song and I had a lot of ideas based on it. Any who, look out for a book called Four Pink Walls, of course it's a fan fiction, starring Chris Brown, and ALESSIA CARA. If you haven't heard the song go listen to it

Okay,thoughts on this short ass chapter I just gave y'all???
