Good morning, bae

What's this babe?

Happy two year anniversary.

Aw, you remembered.

Of course I remember.

What kinda husband do you take me for?

I don't know.

You know, you didn't say anything about it so,

I thought you had forgotten.

Forgotten?

Come on babe.

How could I forget about something so important to me?

You're sweet babe,

but you know, I know what you're up to.

What?

Babe, I'm just trying to show you that I love you.

Right?

I care, I'm attentive.

Hell I made breakfast.

Yep, you sure did.

Buttering me up, making my favorite breakfast this morning.

I'm a gentleman, what can I say.

What?

You trying to get the booty before I go to work.

Oh, Mona, come on, stop it.

It's not even like that.

Really?

It's not what - Really, really.

- Oh really? - Well shit is it working?

You know, it is.

Damn man

Let go of my booty.

Damn, spank it girl, spank it.

So babe did you like our morning breakfast rendezvous?

Yeah was lovely.

So, you figured out where you wanna go to dinner tonight

for our anniversary?

And you know what there is this new Mexican restaurant

in Midtown, I'd be wanna try out,

wanna check it out?

You gonna have to ask, what my wife wants,

my wife gets.

Baby you know you can stop.

You already got the booty.

What I'ma with you

I don't know babe.

Come on.

You look beautiful, babe.

Thank you.

Ready to go?

Yes Will.

Come on.

So fine yourself.

Thank you Mr. three minutes.

Baby it was four minutes.

Okay less than three minutes.

Oh no no no, - Three minutes.

Wait a minute,

it was anniversary. You got three minutes.

- That was anniversary Mona. - All right.

I worked hard for that one.

You did work hard.

All right, come on down, give me my props.

So as you all know we lost the Comfy Diapers account

last month.

That was one of the biggest branded clients to this firm.

Jackson Williams can not afford to lose

that type of business.

Does anyone wanna tell me why we lost the Comfy

Diapers account?

Another competitor offered them a better deal.

Yes, but that's not the right answer.

Other companies have tried to lowball us before

in the past.

So why did Comfy Diapers leave us?

We didn't listen to their vision.

We should've been more focused.

Now I do believe that we listened,

I don't have a doubt about that.

Keisha, you're going the right direction

but you're not quite there.

So does anyone else wanna help take it home

as to why we lost their business?

Mona?

Yes.

Answer the question.

Well, Mrs. Williams, as a company, it's our job

to sell them our vision of the product, which we fail to do.

We got comfortable and took their loyalty for granted.

Rightfully so they took their billions of dollars elsewhere.

But that is correct Mona.

We have to do better.

We have to do all of our research.

We have to triple check our work.

We have to be prepared when we go into these meetings

to discuss our vision for our client's products.

Now, do not let me down again.

We have She's Happy here next week, let's get to work.

Think so, they found me too,

silly.

Babe I'm gonna say, you look absolutely

breathtaking today.

Thanks babe.

Happy two year anniversary.

Baby

Some wine?

Yes.

So baby I know the Mexican restaurant was booked up,

so I decided to do Italian tonight

and I ordered your favorite, vegan ravioli,

mine's beef of course.

Ooh you came for me?

Yeah, so how's your food?

It's delicious babe, how's your beef?

Oh man, is great, no lie.

Yeah.

So good make you wanna slap your mama.

You crazy.

No no, I wouldn't go that far, my mama's crazy.

Yes we know.

So how was work?

Ha, work was all right today,

we lost another client, you know Ms. Williams is tripping

about it.

It just always rolling downhill with this industry

so what you expect.

How was work, how was you day?

Oh, it was good.

I mean, no complaints.

Almost done with the book

Nice.

Publisher is having me about it.

You think it's the writer's blocking thing?

You know I mean, I'm almost done with it.

So I just wanted to take my time, you know.

Are you sure?

No.

Okay maybe a little bit

of writer's block, all right.

But look nothing that you or then me concern ourselves

about it, okay?

Clean up

Silly.

How about a toast.

Oh sure.

Happy two year anniversary.

It's my favorite.

You was eating it like it was fresh out of the pan though.

Yeah babe, you was killing,

you know what I'm saying?

Shut up.

I thought you was eating for two.

You were never Sean.

- I'm just saying. - Don't say I'm pregnant.

Why are you trying to jinx me?

Jinx you?

Yeah.

Come on, so what you trying to say,

Ah, dang girl probation officer?

Yes.

Dang.

So you work with inmates a lot?

Yes everyday.

Girl you don't be scared?

At first I was, but now if you think about it

it's kinda like sex.

That's a lot analogy, sex aiit aiit.

So enough about me, what about you, what's going on?

I'm in a marketing firm

but it ain't nothing like they show in the movies, girl.

I'm sure it has the sparks.

I mean, sometimes I get to meet celebs

and go to exclusive parties, but that's about it.

So just like the movies.

So do you have any kids or anything?

No, not yet.

I mean, we're still working on that.

No, actually we met on Tinder a few years ago.

Girl, the dating site?

Yes, but it works.

You should try it.

abusive relationship, so

while the other person is there, you know?

Mean dudes are crazy, niggas kill each other nowadays.

Yeah, I bet.

But I'm tripping.

They gotta learn how to get along on their own, all right?

Yeah.

Let me ask was, I mean was Y'vette like that

But you don't have to keep spoiling us.

God, speak for yourself.

You ate it so much your belly started getting big.

People thought you were pregnant.

Aint nobody say nothing to me.

Now how would that sound if somebody came to you

and was like, Mona, your stomach getting big, you pregnant?

Girl my daddy would have kicked my butt

if he thought I was messing around.

Were are you even messing around or any time?

No, not really.

I didn't lose my virginity until my senior prom so.

Oh, well that sounds about right.

You held it long enough.

What about your girl?

When did you lose yours?

Too soon.

Damn what you mean?

You remember my stepdad?

Yeah, he used to get us candy sometimes after school.

Yeah, I never liked that.

I know he always had an agenda.

He used to sneak into my room at night.

Really?

Dang girl, I didn't know that, I'm sorry.

It's cool, nobody knew.

Did your mom suspect anything?

Ah no, but she did confront him.

It's kind of why we kinda moved.

Some for the good, some for the bad.

Mona honey, detective police here,

this is detective...

Detective Monroe, mam.

Mona Williams, but please call me Mona

- Mona. - Yes.

This is my partner, Detective Jacobs.

Hello Mona, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Hey Y'vette

Hello.

How does it feel to be back in Houston?

Feels good.

Yvette you mind if we talk to you just for a few moments

in private.

No, whatever you need to say to me,

you can say anything to them.

I have nothing to hide.

Oh no.

Please have a seat.

- Yes yes. - Have a seat we'll step out.

- It's okay. - No Mona it's okay.

Okay, we'll stand up in here.

So, how long have you been in Houston?

For few months now.

Actual why we are here, is because we are investigating

the murder that happened a few months ago in Atlanta.

Yeah, my good friend, Mary brought me this.

Yeah, of course.

It's just a few things that we didn't get to ask you

about that situation.

Okay.

It's very sad, very terrible

what happened to her.

But we're actually still trying to find out

who her killer he is.

Would you happen to know anybody who would have

done something like this?

No, I don't see why anybody would do this to her.

She was such a good person.

I don't even think she had any enemies.

Yeah.

You know that's yeah that's what we've been hearing

a lot.

We'd be interviewing people is that she was a good person.

That is consistent with them.

Yeah it's just like her boyfriend,

but now he's dead.

Who, Xavier?

Yes, Xavier.

How did he die?

He was actually also brutally murdered.

Do you know what might happen?

No, this is all new to me.

Oh, so you're saying you don't know anything

about his murder either?

No, and I don't like your tone.

Hold up.

What my partner's trying to say is,

there's just some things is confusing.

Like why did you move to Houston from Atlanta, exactly?

Well, I was having some family issues

and thought I needed a fresh start, so.

So, just leave your friends, Xavier and Mary in Atlanta?

Yeah people move all the time.

People, is funny you say people, because people told us

that you were very very close with the deceased couple.

Yeah, I was.

Kinda sorta, like Xavier had two girlfriends.

No, it was nothing like that.

Did you want it like that, Y'vette?

No, and I don't like where this conversation is going.

Look, okay, Ms. Masters, we actually did pull

Xavier's phone records.

Yep.

We did notice that a lot of the calls

came from your cell phone, which were days before he died.

Do you remember making those calls?

Yes I do.

Okay but the calls were not very long,

so do you remember what you guys were discussing?

Yeah, I just called to check on him,

to see how he was doing.

He said, he was sleeping and he would call me back.

So she just found a replacement couple for them.

Is this new family that she with right now.

You know what this conversation is over with,

I don't have anything else to say to you.

Look, it's obvious that we have overstayed our welcome,

okay but detective here will be happy to give you a card

and you give us a call,

if there's anything that you can think of.

Just remember to let us know.

Listen, don't leave Houston anytime soon okay?

I won't.

Oh we know.

If you have any concerns, please give me a call.

Okay thank you, thank you both.

You two have a nice day.

Like wise.

You gonna walk them out?

Yeah sure.

We can find ourselves.

Nice house sir.

Nice

Thank you, you two have a great day.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

I'm so embarrassed.

Don't be, I get it.

They were just doing their job, okay?

Thanks.

I'll be sure to give them a call if I can think of anything.

Yeah look I'm sure they'll appreciate that.

Are you really up at one in the morning eating ice cream.

Now that is not a healthy diet.

Yes, I know mom, I know.

While you at it, do you mind if I join?

Oh no go ahead.

Okay, thank you.

I just want to say thank you

for not passing any bad judgment on me, you know

after the cops came or whatever.

Oh no, no, you good no worries on that.

Is there anything for us to be concerned about?

No, I mean, it kind of makes sense

they came over to question me

that we weren't close and all, so.

Yeah

So, what happened with you and my boy Ryan?

So I had to ask, you know you had to ask.

Yes I know you had to ask but there's nothing going on

I mean, why did he say anything?

Oh no, no, I haven't even talked to him yet.

All I know was is I came down to the kitchen to get a glass

of water and I saw you and Ryan on the couch while you know.

That is so embarrassing.

Oh, no no no, it's all good don't worry about it.

- Its great. - So

Did you like what you saw?

What?

Relax, I'm just kidding.

Okay, I know one thing Kesha gonna kick your ass

when she find out.

Keisha, doesn't even have to know.

Plus I'm good at keeping secrets.

Are you?

Look at that, you ate all the ice cream.

I didn't try to, besides I'm trying to help you,

you know, keep your figure.

Okay, okay.

Hey, I just want to thank you for taking me in

and letting me stay here.

Look, not a problem.

Any friend of Mona is a friend of mine.

Aw, you're so sweet Sean.

I could be a real good friend to you Sean.

I'm gonna go ahead and go to bed.

All right.

Have a good night, Y'vette.

Good night Sean.

Hey babe, where were you?

Eating ice cream with Yvette.

Good night babe.

Hi girl, what color are you doing over there?

This is pampered.

Ooh cute.

Yeah, what color are you using?

I am doing crystal white.

I love white, it looks good on you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Oh boy.

So.

So?

Go ahead, ask.

I know there's something you wanna say.

I've just been wondering, like I haven't seen you

bring any men by.

You been here for a minute,

are you dating anybody yet?

Why?

Because I feel like Houston has so many eligible

bachelors here, girl.

- Think so? - They show you out there.

Yeah.

Well, since she wants to be nosy,

I am dating.

You know I'm just having fun.

All right good.

Fun is good, yeah go on with that, have fun.

So I have a question.

What's up?

How are you and Sean?

I've noticed you guys haven't been going on dates lately.

We're great but yeah, we have been slacking on dates.

I mean it's just okay, I'm good really.

I'm just saying from past experience

if men are, you know, busy, then they're normally cheating.

I thought you liked him.

I do, but you are my friend first,

so I'm just looking out for you that's all.

Yeah, but Sean, he wouldn't cheat on me.

He does have a penis right?

Look, Sean is my husband.

He wouldn't do that, trust him.

Okay, you right, maybe I'm tripping.

What you doing on Saturday night?

You got any plans?

Well you never know, I may be with my man.

Haha you're so funny Y'vette whatever.

No way, I should be available.

Cool, I'm having a dinner party.

Sounds awesome.

Yeah, it's not it's for work.

We have one every six months, but it's my turn to host it.

So I want you to be there.

Would there be any man, at this dinner party?

Yes crazy, there will be men with their wives.

But the question is, are they happy?

Ooh you are so bad, girl.

Look make sure you just show up with a dress please.

Yes ma'am

Thank you so much.

- What's up? - You ain't got.

Man

Come on, point up, point up game point,

Oh, I know, you've been getting it in with Kesha, huh?

Man, I don't know why you always in my business boy,

Yeah.

Hey I taught you well man.

I'm proud of you son, I'm proud of you.

Man, shut up.

But I really do like this girl.

I mean she's funny, she's smart, witty.

Funny, witty?

Oh hell no man.

Oh, my boy whooped already.

Man, ain't nobody whooped.

Okay, maybe just a little.

All right then.

But look at me, at least now we both got good girls.

If you say so.

You better pay that shit.

Nope, not yet.

But I mean, it's about to be that time.

You got to get her parent's approval.

Yes, it's very important.

So what about Y'vette?

You seeking her parents' approval too?

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about?

Fuck man, how long have you known?

Since you got butt-naked on my couch.

You saw us?

Yeah, man I saw you, man.

I went to go get some water and boom,

there you guys were getting in on my couch.

You man you know how to scrub down my couch to man.

Look man, I'm sorry.

I don't know why I didn't tell you.

It's all good.

So what you going to do?

Shit I don't know, I mean, I like both of them.

Maybe I can have them both.

All right, sure, man

until Kesha finds out, then she going to kill you both.

You know that girl ain't got it all, she crazy.

Then you know she don't like that girl, man.

Yeah she told me.

Man you playing with fire, with gasoline draws on.

I just got to find a way to break it off with Y'vette.

You've got to think of something quick.

But in the meantime, I need you to bring your ashy ass
