Jess touched down in Atlanta tired beyond belief but happy to be away from Deon. She endured a few stares over her bruised face and had even had a few guys try to hit on her bruises and all, but her only focus was getting to Mauri. Jess didn’t have luggage or even a carry on other than her purse, so she held her baby and walked through the airport in search of her friend.

She went to pull out her cell when someone touched the small of her back. Jess spun around and a big smile spread across her face. Mauri stood before her in sweats with a hoodie on concealing his face. He was new to the NBA but to basketball lovers he was a big fucking deal. They knew him; young boys wanted to be him and the girls wanted to screw him. He didn’t want press following his moves, especially with his Jess around. He didn’t want her out there like that.

“Come one, ma; I don't want anybody to spot me,” he said and pulled her away.

Mauri guided Jess through the airport with his friend, another ball player, behind him. He wore shades as well as a baseball cap. They climbed into a black Escalade with the deepest tint that you could get and Mauri’s friend pulled away while Mauri strapped baby Sima into the car seat that took him thirty minutes to install. He looked at Jess and then at her bruised cheek. He couldn’t believe Deon was beating on her. That fucked his mood all up making his honey-colored eyes darken.

“That nigga did this?” he asked through gritted teeth.

Jess looked at him and then glanced up into the front seat at his friend. She was beyond embarrassed. Mauri picked up on her pleading eyes as her cellphone started to ring. Mauri wasn’t thinking straight as he snatched it out of her lap and answered it.

“Jess! Ma look… a nigga was fucked up. I didn’t mean for shit to go that far. Where you at?” Deon asked frantically while standing in his mother’s living room.

“Well, she ain’t in the D no more nigga. That’s where she not at. You're a real bitch made nigga. How the fuck you gone beat on the woman that gave you a little girl? A beautiful, healthy child at that. She created a life for you, my nigga, and you do her like that? You a fucking coward ass bitch and I hope she never go back to your ass,” Mauri said before ending the call.

Jess looked at him in complete shock. She was now terrified. Why would he do that? Why would Mauri put her out there like that? She couldn’t go home now, Deon would surely kill her when she returned.

“Why the fuck would you do that?! Why did you do that, Mauri?” Jess yelled and shoved his chest as hard as she possibly could.

Mauri’s eyes lowered and he started to think about what he had done. He grabbed Jess’s arms and pulled her into a hug.
