Chris POV

The rest of the weekend we stayed in the house. I didn't want to leave her side anyway. I wanted to be up under her as much as I could. She didn't want me to go anywhere, she wanted my team to handle it and for me to leave it alone. I spent all weekend making it up to her, not sexually, but emotionally and mentally. She needed it. I told her I wasn't going to put her through anything like this and even though it wasn't my fault, technically this is still me putting her through something. I've worked hard to get us to where we are right now and I'm not going to let this come between us. I refuse to.

I know all of this has brought back some, if not all of her insecurities. I've been working like crazy to build her up and get rid of these insecurities and now all of my work has probably gone down the drain. She said she believes me and all is forgiven but I don't believe that one bit. I still feel like I let her down and I'm so sorry this happened.

When we left my house, we flew to Chicago. I had to turn myself in for that stupid ass assault charge, for snatching up her ex-boyfriend. I was in and out of jail. Shawnie was right there in court with me. She had my back, as always. My lawyer said I would probably only get community service because I did put my hands on the man and what was saving me was the fact that I was defending her. So the judge was pretty understanding of that. But Marcel, he's looking at a harassment charge and he can face up to two years in jail. Not mine, nor Shawnie's problem.

The next day, after my Chicago court date, we flew to Orlando for me to turn myself in there as well. This probably wasn't going to go as well. I wanted Shawnie as part of my legal team for both cases but since she was a witness in both, she couldn't stand with me. I was fined $30,000 but they threw out the case because even though it wasn't legal when the video was taken, it's legal now. I literally got off scotch free with both charges.

It was now Wednesday and we were flying back to LA. We were on my private jet. She was sitting at the table, and I was laying down across from her, on the sofa. We weren't saying anything but it was a comfortable silence.

She was working and I was just chilling looking up something to get her as a gift, on my phone. I think she deserves it. She's been through a lot this last few days and personally, I feel some type of present is long overdue but she never lets me buy her anything. I already told her I was going to get her a car, so she can have something when she's out in LA but I also wanted to get her something more personal and from the heart. I just want to get her something to show her some type of appreciation. I just don't know what that is yet.

I look over at her, "Babe."
