Bibby:
My eyes watched as Trinity gathered her things off my dresser. Her, now orange hair was curled and pent to the side. A gold MK watch complimented her wrist as 24K diamond earrings sparkled in her ear.
Those were just a couple of the gifts that she was sporting from me. She adjusted her bomber, letting MY chain fall over her bodysuit. I have to admit it looked good on her. I made a mental note, to go pick her one up later from Kays.
Her jeans hugged her now plumped thighs in the right places. She carried well, if you asked me.
"Call me when you get there" I say as she places herself in front of me
"I will" She smiles at me as if she was a lil kid
I helped her gather her luggage, following her down the steps. Bella praised Trinity's presence, resulting in her picking her up. Juan stood at the door waiting for Trinity to wrap up her session with Bella.
"C'mon before we miss our flight" Juan chuckles as Trinity hugs Wop and Shawn bye again
"Please stay out the way guys" Trinity sighs looking between us three
"We good sis" Shawn grins earning a scowl from her
"Don't worry.." Wop laughs "You go have fun and I'll make sure knuckle head stay out the way" he re-ensures her
"Thank you" She thanks him once more "Love y'all"
"We just a call away!" Shawn yells behind her and Juan as they board the rental car
I placed my hands in my pocket, playing with loose change. Trinity blew me a kiss as they backed out the driveway. I waved bye, seeing them off. After they were out my sight I made my back into the house.
Bella stared at me as I took in the fact that Trinity had left. A couple weeks away from her was ready to be hard. I scooped her from her place, joining the boys in the living room.

"Count me out" Wop says putting his hands up
"You really scared of a lil gun play" Shawn ask, laughing
"We all know Wop is a peace maker" I joke, earning a straight face from him
It was nothing but the truth. Whenever we had to slide on somebody, he wanted no parts of it. Wop fanned us off, heading out the room. I wiped the last of my bullets off; loading my clip. Shawn was wiping his 37 down and admiring its beauty.
I placed mines on my hip, pulling my shirt down. My phone buzzed, letting me know my timer was up. Shawn followed me out, making sure the door was shut behind him. Wop glanced at us before turning his attention to the tv.
"We see you in a bit" Shawn calls to him only to get fanned off
Once he was in the car we were off to our first destination.

"I'm sorry you had to miss your parents vow renewal" I apologized to Trinity for the third time
She simply shrugged and followed Ari out the jail. I let out a sigh in defeat. I really fucked up this time. Ari passed me the keys to the car, once trinity grabbed her things out the backseat.
"So you just going go with Ari cause you mad?" I ask her causing her to stop in her tracks
"You know what we're going through and you went out here and did with the fuck you did!" Trinity fumed "It ain't just bout you no more Brandon"
"I understand that Trinity" I rubbed my face as she shook her head
"Just stay away from me" Trinity growls at me before making her way to Ari's car
"She's just upset" Ari tries comforting me as I stand there, looking lost
"It's whatever man" I brush her off "I don't care anymore, I'm done"
"You don't mean it" Ari says
I glare at Ari and make my way to my car. Herb says his goodbye to Ari and gets into the passenger seat.
"Don't stress it bro" Herb sighs as I start the car up
"I'm not" I lie through my teeth
Of course, I was going stress. How was I suppose to know I was in the wrong place at the wrong time? I completely understood what she was saying, when she said we was going through a lot.
I let my music play on low as Herb and I took the drive to George's place.

Ariana:
I placed my shades on as camera flashed and reporters ambushed me with questions. Trinity quickly snaps on a reporter as they targeted her.
"This shit blows me" Trinity swears as we enter the courthouse
"You just Moody Mandy" Shawn jokes earning the finger from her
"It'll be over before you know it" I ensure her as we walk into the courtroom we were assigned to
Herb and Bibby both were seated with their lawyers; while Aliyah was seated with hers. She just had to point fingers at Herb and Bibby for the death of her best friend. We all knew it wasn't them who did it.
She just wanted this to be her get back, since Bibby wasn't her bastard child's father. I took my seat next to Trinity, nudging her once I seen Aliyah staring at us. Tamia squeezes her way through people, taking the seat beside me.
I give her a stank look as she gives us a weak smile. Apparently she's on our niggas "side". I couldn't trust this bitch as far as I see her. Trinity twiddles with her ring as the judge has the guys take oaths.
We listened to the fake sobs of Aliyah as she told her side of the story. I rolled my eyes as she pretended to have a mini break down.
"Give this bitch a Grammy" I mumble for Trinity to her
"Hoes love attention" Trinity says causing me to chuckle
Finally it was time for Herb and Bibby lawyer to speak. He came with receipts from that night. He had text messages, phone call logs, and even the flyer at the location the guys were booked for. The judge took a look at the evidences, allowing Aliyah lawyer to run her mouth.
The only thing she could use against the guys were the history she had with them.
"Can I get Mrs.Dickerson to the stand" The judge calls
Trinity eyes widen as eyes fall on her. When did these two get married?
"It's okay" Tamia and I both ensure her as she passed by us
She takes an oath before having a seat in the section. It looked as if she had seen her a ghost. Her nerves were already a mess and I'm sure this made it worse.
"As we all know you have history and few run ins with my client" Aliyah lawyer grins
"You can say that" Trinity shrugs
"Get to the point" The judge groans as Aliyah lawyer tried to paint a picture of why Trinity could've wanted her best friend dead
"You've pointed out all these encounters and they all lead to your client, not me" Trinity chuckles
"Yes, they tried to kill me. But not once have I thought about getting back at them. And neither did Herbert or Brandon. We all have to much to lose" Trinity says bluntly
"Now, you're just talking" The judge quickly shuts down Aliyah lawyer "Wright and Dickerson are both innocent"
With that he slams his hammer down. Aliyah lets out a scream and marches her way out the courtroom. I stand to my feet and head out to the hallway. Soon Trinity joins me as we wait for the guys.
"Y'all got some explaining to do" I say once Herb and Bibby approaches us
"Leave the shit alone Ari" Herb scowls at me once he knew what I was hinting at
"I just wanna why I wasn't told" I pout following behind Herb out the court doors
"Cause it's not real..." Trinity mumbles before Bibby shot her a look
I twist my lips, not bothering to respond or ask anymore questions. Shawn unlocks the doors allowing us to get into the SUV. He starts the drive to his house, after the truck warms up.
"These lashes gots to go" Trinity says before reaching to snatch them off
"Told you don't spend money on them" Bibby kisses his teeth as she snatched the last one off
"Shut up, they were $7" Trinity says back to him causing us to laugh
"Just get them fur balls Ari be getting" Herb says only for me to hit him in his arm
"They're called extensions" I correct him
"I'm good.." Trinity laughs "That's way too girly"
"Hope y'all don't have a girl, cause she going be a dyke" Shawn murmurs making us laugh
"Yo bitch a dyke" Trinity mumbles
I let out a snort at her remark. Trinity didn't like that poor girl for nothing. Herb gave me a disgusting look as I snorted again.
"Why don't you like her?" Shawn groans
"Don't get her started..." I laugh as Trinity gives him a "you really want me to go there" look
"Just leave it alone" Bibby quickly responds before Trinity could blurt out her reasons
"Y'all ain't got no choice to get along, I'm marrying her soon" Shawn grins, glancing at us
