Devin, baby, will you marry me?
Yes, Lela, you know I'll marry you, baby.
Did you guys know about this?
Nah, ain't know nothing.
How could she do this?
I can't believe, I believe she didn't,
couldn't, didn't tell me she
was gonna propose to Devin.
She did this.
I just can't believe it.
I can't believe Lela did this to me.
What did she do to me?
Why did she do this to me?
Why would she do this to me?
I can't believe
she would do this to me.
I thought we were best friends.
Oh, this is horrible.
This is horrible.
I just can't believe it.
She did not include me.
Oh, I'll just go to her job tomorrow,
like a lady and talk to her.
So how do you feel?
I feel good.
All as well.
Are you happy?
Very happy.
Do you like your ring?
Love my ring.
Fit perfect.
How do you know my ring size?
I pay attention.
Pay attention.
I seen at the table looking at my hands,
I didn't pay no mind.
Yeah.
I was surprised though, really, yeah.
Devin.
Devin.
Where are you?
Where are you?
- She crazy.
I just need some time alone to think.
- Hey, Jay, what up?
- Hey, Brice.
I just want to thank you, man, for coming
to the engagement party last
night with me and Teresa.
- Of course, man, I would
miss it for the world.
It was nice.
Yeah, but I, but I couldn't help
but notice, man, that
Lela seemed a little off.
- Really?
What you mean?
Well, she seemed a little off
when she was proposing to Devin, I think.
- Why do you say that?
That's not good.
You think it's a big mistake?
That's just how I feel.
A big mistake.
- Yeah, yeah.
Congratulations
on your engagement
to Devin, Lela.
Thank you, Jasmine, girl.
I am really happy.
Oh.
Hold on.
- Okay.
- Hello?
Oh, thank you.
I'll be right down.
Gimme a minute.
Okay.
Girl, I wonder what Teresa
wanna talk to me about.
I don't know.
Hey, Teresa, how you doing?
- Hey, how are you, Lela?
- I'm great.
How, what's going on?
- Good to see you.
- What's up?
- I can't believe that
you proposed to Devin,
that you did not include
me in the decision
to propose to Devin.
I thought we were best friends.
- I mean, I didn't, I didn't
think it was a big idea.
I mean, I just wanted it to be a surprise.
- Well, it is a big deal to me.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't recognize I
needed your permission
to propose to my own man.
- It's not about permission.
It's about common courtesy.
You should have included me your decision
to propose to Devin.
- You know what?
It, it's done now.
It's over already.
I mean, why can't you
just be happy for us?
Either, you know, you be happy for us,
or you just stay outta my life.
- I can't believe you chose
Devin over our friendship.
- I'm not choosing anyone over anybody.
I just want to be happy.
And if you can't support
me in it, I just don't.
I don't know.
- Jas, remember the VIP guests need
to have their meals delivered on time.
- I got it.
I'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
- Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?
Of course, what's going on?
- I just had a huge fight with Teresa.
- What happened?
- She keeps saying I should have told her
about the proposal.
And you know, I, I'm just,
I'm just so upset right now.
- Come here.
Lela, you know I love you.
And I don't care what anyone else thinks.
You understand?
- I just don't understand why
she can't be happy for us.
- I ain't worried about that.
I got you, baby.
We together.
You with me.
- Okay, just.
- What?
It's all right.
- What's up, boss?
- Okay, all right, what,
what you got for me, man?
- I'm telling you, man, that
he has the best catering.
Best focus, he has the best prices.
- Listen, Jay.
Now I don't know 'cause we've been burned
by catering companies
like this before, man.
- Trust me on this, trust me on this.
He can be counted on.
Okay, fine.
I'm gonna tell you if he
burns us like everybody else,
I'm holding you accountable.
It's on you.
- We got this.
- You know that.
Got it?
- Yes.
- All right.
- Towing service wanted
$350 just to change my tire.
Also $300 just to tow my car home.
I'm so thankful to you.
Wow, they
really tried to rob you,
but you know I'm always here for you.
- Yeah, I know.
- Of course, you know I
always have your back.
Yeah, I know,
I can always count on you.
It's just been a rough day with Lela.
- What happened with you two?
- Got into an argument.
I went to her job today and
got into a huge argument.
Damn.
You two gotta get it right.
But you know I'm here for you.
I know, I
can always count on you.
And then when I walked to my
car, I noticed a flat tire.
It's just been one thing after another.
- I told you I take care
of the car situation,
but I can't believe Lela get married.
At one time I had feelings for Lela.
- I know it's hard to accept.
- I have something to tell you also.
- What is it?
- I got feelings for you too.
- Nice.
We've been friends for so long.
- Can't help how I feel.
- I need some time to think about it.
- Don't worry, take all the time you need.
I got you.
- All right.
We ain't got
nothing to do in this kitchen.
Girl, um.
- Yo, this is Teddy.
Hey, is Devin in?
He's in a meeting right now.
Is there something that
I can help you with?
- Hey, I was trying to
really get in contact
with him about this catering
business that he got going on.
We thinking about hiring you guys,
but I just had a few questions
that I need him to ask, answer.
Okay, is there a number
that I can have him call you back at?
- Right, you can have him hit my cell.
407-286-9540.
All right, I will
let him know as soon as he-
- And who, who am I speaking with?
This is Jasmine.
- You, his assistant or something?
- I am.
- Okay.
All right, Jasmine.
Looking forward to hearing from him.
Thank you.
- Do you understand me?
Brice is mine.
Do you understand me?
Brice doesn't know it yet, but he's mine.
Lela took Devin so I'm taking Brice.
Brice is mine.
All mine.
He's mine.
And you better stay away from him.
Brice is mine.
And you better stay away from him.
Do you understand me?

- Oh no, just, some work stuff.
You ready to go?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Could you drop me off
at Brice's apartment?
He said you need to talk to
me about something important.
I don't know.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Brice was so kind to come,
come over and help me earlier.
He fixed my flat tire.
- That's good.
You know he's always been a great guy.
Yeah.
And he just does it for me.
- Wow.
I ain't never know you
was interested in him.
- I never really thought about it before.
But he's different than any
other guy that I've dated.
- Okay.
- Thank you, honey.
- You gotta apologize to Teresa.
Yeah, you have to apologize to her.
Guys been friends, gotta do it.
I gotta be honest with you.
Always have feelings for you.
But since you're getting married to Devin,

Home sweet home.

'cause I talked to you on the phone.
Can I touch it?
Thank you.
All right, thank you.
Are you gonna put this in a bag for me?
Sir, are you gonna put
this in a bag for me?
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Devin's working from home today.
- Oh.
- Oh fine time
for you to tell us this.
I've been waiting for an open hour.
Man, don't worry about it.
I'll just go to his house.
Come on man.
- Yeah, we'll go to his house.
- Yes, mm-hmm.
Well, I already talked
to Devin about that.
He should be in touch with you guys
first thing in the morning.
Great.
I just don't
understand why Devon
won't set a date for the wedding.
I mean, we've been together for years.
- Maybe you should just give him some time
to figure it out on his own.
- I just don't understand.
How much more time does he need?
We've been together
for five years.
- Maybe you should just
give him some space
and let him figure it out on his own.
- You know I guess.
- This is Jasmine.
- Hi Jasmine.
I need you to come over
and help me prepare the
fight night contract.
Teddy was impressed with the fight night
that the company hosted overnight.
Wants to contract our service for a year.
Yes.
- All right.
- Ladies, what y'all
in here talking about?
What y'all in here talking about?
- We are just talking.
Having girl conversation.
Girl to girl conversation.
- Oh, as long as it's not about me.
- No, we weren't talking about you.
- Okay.
Man, I can't believe we together.
- Yeah, we've been
dating for a few days now
and we both knew know
that we wanna take it
to the next level.
- Official like a referee and a whistle.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- We have big plans.
We hope to get married someday.
- Correct.
- I can't believe you would do this to me.
- Oh, boohoo.
Poor Lela, the center
of everyone's attention.
- I'm not asking for attention.
I'm asking for some understanding.
- Oh, please.
You know you've had,
you know he's had a crush
on you since the day we met.
- No.
What?
- You can't be that oblivious.
- I'm not being you oblivious.
Brice is my friend.
- Sure, keep telling yourself that.
You only going to let him down easy
because you have feelings for him.
- What do you mean?
- You know you have feelings for Brice.
- Wow, that's new to me.
I ain't know nothing about this.
Yeah, really.
What it is.
Tell me what it is.
You know something I don't know.
- You've had feelings for
Lela for a long while now.
- Let's just skip the subject
'cause I don't like where it's going.
- You may not like where it's going, but,
but he's had a crush on
you since the day we met.
- I don't know what you talking about.
Me and Brice are just friends.
I'm leaving.
I'm not taking this.
I'm not sitting around for this.
I'm out.
What you talking about?
- What, were are you going?
You two are leaving together.
You can't leave together.
Brice, you're with me.
- I just can't believe her.
I can't believe Teresa.
Like what kind of friend is she?
Like why would she do this to me?
- You got, you gotta calm down.
Calm down.
You know how she is.
She been through a lot.
Y'all been friends for a while.
She been through a lot.
You know she real territorial.
- Hey, what's up, Jas?
- Hey, there.
- How are you?
- I hope it's not too late.
I came here to go over
the fight night stuff.
- Yeah, we gotta take care.
It's been very important.
I refuse to commit to somebody
who don't want to take care of himself.
You know what I mean like?
- What's going on?
- It's Lela.
She refuses to take her medication.
It's affecting her mood,
her attitude, her character.
You know, everything's been off.
Her energy's been not the same.
It's like a bad feeling.
- Yeah.
That's tough.
- Yeah.
- Hi Jay.
Here's your food.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
Anytime.
- Oh, I appreciate.
Oh, this looks delicious.
- Yeah, it does.
What kind of rice is this?
- Chinese.
Hope you enjoy it.
- Sure will.
I'm starving.
- Oh, okay.
- Thank you.
Teresa.
Teresa.
Teresa.
Teresa.
Morning boss.
- What's up, Jay?
- Just wanna introduce
you to my friend Teresa.
- Hi, nice to meet.
- How you doing, Teresa?
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- Me too.
Have a seat.
- Oh, okay.
All right.
I see.
Looks good.
So you think you can do that?
Yes, I can do that.
- Okay, all right.
So we should be good to go.
- We good to go.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- You too.
Come on, Devin.
Pick up, pick up.
- Hello?
Yo, this is Jay, man.
Yo, I messed up.
Yo, Teresa started stressing me out
a few weeks ago about
her needing another job.
So I introduced her to Teddy.
Once I introduced him,
yo, I left the office.
Yo, but I could still hear the
conversation in the hallway.
And I overheard Teddy
telling Teresa that he used
to date Lela and he wanted her back.
This is bad, man.
I can't believe Teddy.
I knew he was up to some
bull when I met him.
There's something
about getting rid
of the person that Lela is dating.
I will call you back.
Jasmine, my partner Malik,
put a tracker on Lela's phone.
Go to Brice's house, then stay parked.
I will text you Brice's address.
If you see Teresa call me.
Then stay in the car until I get there.
- I wonder if she's in his apartment.
Oh, oh.
Right, is Lela here?
Lela.
- Thanks, but what's wrong?
- I just found out that you are
in my boyfriend's apartment.
Brice is just being a friend.
- Of course he is.
But you always seem to forget
that he's mine, not yours.
- What, what's this about?
Go home, man.
Go home.
You acting up man.
You bugging out right now.
You bugging.
- You out.
- Bugging.
- You walk into
my boyfriend's apartment and
just steal him away from me.
But you wrong, Lela.
Teresa, nothing's going on.
Save it.
Go home, go home, go home.
- Get out, man.
- You both deserve to die
for betraying me.
Get out of here.
How they gonna pull up on me?
All I ever wanted to do is help.
How it gonna pull up on me?
All I ever wanted to do is help.
I hurt nobody.
I had to do what I had to do.
She's got Devin, why she
gotta take my man, too?
Let me go for a ride.
I got the job done.
That's good.
Let me get your coat.
Yes, ma.
Now that you got the job done
and got those two out the way,
now we can talk about you taking
over my catering business.
This is such an exciting opportunity for me.
Have a seat.
Listen, taking care of
this catering business
is real serious business.
I gotta make sure I don't put
my trust in the right person.
All right.
That person is me.
I just hope I can live up
to your expectations.
I hope so too.
Let's get business done.
Let's make this money.
Let's make this money.
Yeah.
What's the deal, my brother.
Hey, girl.
How are you?
Good to see you.
Hey, how you doing?
Beautiful, good to see you.
Good to see you.
Devin, baby, will you marry me?
Yes, Lela, you know I'll marry you, baby.
Did you guys know about this?
Nah, ain't know nothing.
How could she do this?
I can't believe, I believe she didn't,
couldn't, didn't tell me she
was gonna propose to Devin.
She did this.
I just can't believe it.
I can't believe Lela did this to me.
What did she do to me?
Why did she do this to me?
Why would she do this to me?
I can't believe
she would do this to me.
I thought we were best friends.
Oh, this is horrible.
This is horrible.
I just can't believe it.
She did not include me.
Oh, I'll just go to her job tomorrow,
like a lady and talk to her.
So how do you feel?
I feel good.
All as well.
Are you happy?
Very happy.
Do you like your ring?
Love my ring.
Fit perfect.
How do you know my ring size?
I pay attention.
Pay attention.
I seen at the table looking at my hands,
I didn't pay no mind.
Yeah.
I was surprised though, really, yeah.
Devin.
Devin.
Where are you?
Where are you?
- She crazy.
I just need some time alone to think.
- Hey, Jay, what up?
- Hey, Brice.
I just want to thank you, man, for coming
to the engagement party last
night with me and Teresa.
- Of course, man, I would
miss it for the world.
It was nice.
Yeah, but I, but I couldn't help
but notice, man, that
Lela seemed a little off.
- Really?
What you mean?
Well, she seemed a little off
when she was proposing to Devin, I think.
- Why do you say that?
That's not good.
You think it's a big mistake?
That's just how I feel.
A big mistake.
- Yeah, yeah.
Congratulations
on your engagement
to Devin, Lela.
Thank you, Jasmine, girl.
I am really happy.
Oh.
Hold on.
- Okay.
- Hello?
Oh, thank you.
I'll be right down.
Gimme a minute.
Okay.
Girl, I wonder what Teresa
wanna talk to me about.
I don't know.
Hey, Teresa, how you doing?
- Hey, how are you, Lela?
- I'm great.
How, what's going on?
- Good to see you.
- What's up?
- I can't believe that
you proposed to Devin,
that you did not include
me in the decision
to propose to Devin.
I thought we were best friends.
- I mean, I didn't, I didn't
think it was a big idea.
I mean, I just wanted it to be a surprise.
- Well, it is a big deal to me.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't recognize I
needed your permission
to propose to my own man.
- It's not about permission.
It's about common courtesy.
You should have included me your decision
to propose to Devin.
- You know what?
It, it's done now.
It's over already.
I mean, why can't you
just be happy for us?
Either, you know, you be happy for us,
or you just stay outta my life.
- I can't believe you chose
Devin over our friendship.
- I'm not choosing anyone over anybody.
I just want to be happy.
And if you can't support
me in it, I just don't.
I don't know.
- Jas, remember the VIP guests need
to have their meals delivered on time.
- I got it.
I'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
- Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?
Of course, what's going on?
- I just had a huge fight with Teresa.
- What happened?
- She keeps saying I should have told her
about the proposal.
And you know, I, I'm just,
I'm just so upset right now.
- Come here.
Lela, you know I love you.
And I don't care what anyone else thinks.
You understand?
- I just don't understand why
she can't be happy for us.
- I ain't worried about that.
I got you, baby.
We together.
You with me.
- Okay, just.
- What?
It's all right.
- What's up, boss?
- Okay, all right, what,
what you got for me, man?
- I'm telling you, man, that
he has the best catering.
Best focus, he has the best prices.
- Listen, Jay.
Now I don't know 'cause we've been burned
by catering companies
like this before, man.
- Trust me on this, trust me on this.
He can be counted on.
Okay, fine.
I'm gonna tell you if he
burns us like everybody else,
I'm holding you accountable.
It's on you.
- We got this.
- You know that.
Got it?
- Yes.
- All right.
- Towing service wanted
$350 just to change my tire.
Also $300 just to tow my car home.
I'm so thankful to you.
Wow, they
really tried to rob you,
but you know I'm always here for you.
- Yeah, I know.
- Of course, you know I
always have your back.
Yeah, I know,
I can always count on you.
It's just been a rough day with Lela.
- What happened with you two?
- Got into an argument.
I went to her job today and
got into a huge argument.
Damn.
You two gotta get it right.
But you know I'm here for you.
I know, I
can always count on you.
And then when I walked to my
car, I noticed a flat tire.
It's just been one thing after another.
- I told you I take care
of the car situation,
but I can't believe Lela get married.
At one time I had feelings for Lela.
- I know it's hard to accept.
- I have something to tell you also.
- What is it?
- I got feelings for you too.
- Nice.
We've been friends for so long.
- Can't help how I feel.
- I need some time to think about it.
- Don't worry, take all the time you need.
I got you.
- All right.
We ain't got
nothing to do in this kitchen.
Girl, um.
- Yo, this is Teddy.
Hey, is Devin in?
He's in a meeting right now.
Is there something that
I can help you with?
- Hey, I was trying to
really get in contact
with him about this catering
business that he got going on.
We thinking about hiring you guys,
but I just had a few questions
that I need him to ask, answer.
Okay, is there a number
that I can have him call you back at?
- Right, you can have him hit my cell.
407-286-9540.
All right, I will
let him know as soon as he-
- And who, who am I speaking with?
This is Jasmine.
- You, his assistant or something?
- I am.
- Okay.
All right, Jasmine.
Looking forward to hearing from him.
Thank you.
- Do you understand me?
Brice is mine.
Do you understand me?
Brice doesn't know it yet, but he's mine.
Lela took Devin so I'm taking Brice.

at Brice's apartment?
He said you need to talk to
me about something important.
I don't know.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Brice was so kind to come,
come over and help me earlier.
He fixed my flat tire.
- That's good.
You know he's always been a great guy.
Yeah.
And he just does it for me.
- Wow.
I ain't never know you
was interested in him.
- I never really thought about it before.
But he's different than any
other guy that I've dated.

I've been waiting for an open hour.
Man, don't worry about it.
I'll just go to his house.
Come on man.
- Yeah, we'll go to his house.
- Yes, mm-hmm.
Well, I already talked
to Devin about that.
He should be in touch with you guys
first thing in the morning.
Great.
I just don't
understand why Devon
won't set a date for the wedding.
I mean, we've been together for years.
- Maybe you should just give him some time
to figure it out on his own.
- I just don't understand.
How much more time does he need?
We've been together
for five years.
- Maybe you should just
give him some space
and let him figure it out on his own.
- You know I guess.
- This is Jasmine.
- Hi Jasmine.
I need you to come over
and help me prepare the
fight night contract.
Teddy was impressed with the fight night
that the company hosted overnight.
Wants to contract our service for a year.
Yes.
- All right.
- Ladies, what y'all
in here talking about?
What y'all in here talking about?
- We are just talking.
Having girl conversation.
Girl to girl conversation.
- Oh, as long as it's not about me.
- No, we weren't talking about you.
- Okay.
Man, I can't believe we together.
- Yeah, we've been
dating for a few days now
and we both knew know
that we wanna take it
to the next level.
- Official like a referee and a whistle.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- We have big plans.
We hope to get married someday.
- Correct.
- I can't believe you would do this to me.
- Oh, boohoo.
Poor Lela, the center
of everyone's attention.
- I'm not asking for attention.
I'm asking for some understanding.
- Oh, please.
You know you've had,
you know he's had a crush
on you since the day we met.
- No.
What?
- You can't be that oblivious.
- I'm not being you oblivious.
Brice is my friend.
- Sure, keep telling yourself that.
You only going to let him down easy
because you have feelings for him.
- What do you mean?
- You know you have feelings for Brice.
- Wow, that's new to me.
I ain't know nothing about this.
Yeah, really.
What it is.
Tell me what it is.
You know something I don't know.
- You've had feelings for
Lela for a long while now.
- Let's just skip the subject
'cause I don't like where it's going.
- You may not like where it's going, but,
but he's had a crush on
you since the day we met.
- I don't know what you talking about.
Me and Brice are just friends.
I'm leaving.
I'm not taking this.
I'm not sitting around for this.
I'm out.
What you talking about?
- What, were are you going?
You two are leaving together.
You can't leave together.
Brice, you're with me.
- I just can't believe her.
I can't believe Teresa.
Like what kind of friend is she?
Like why would she do this to me?
- You got, you gotta calm down.
Calm down.
You know how she is.
She been through a lot.
Y'all been friends for a while.
She been through a lot.
You know she real territorial.
- Hey, what's up, Jas?
- Hey, there.
- How are you?
- I hope it's not too late.
I came here to go over
the fight night stuff.
- Yeah, we gotta take care.
It's been very important.
I refuse to commit to somebody
who don't want to take care of himself.
You know what I mean like?
- What's going on?
- It's Lela.
She refuses to take her medication.
It's affecting her mood,
her attitude, her character.
You know, everything's been off.
Her energy's been not the same.
It's like a bad feeling.
- Yeah.
That's tough.
- Yeah.
- Hi Jay.
Here's your food.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
Anytime.
- Oh, I appreciate.
Oh, this looks delicious.
- Yeah, it does.
What kind of rice is this?

Hope you enjoy it.
- Sure will.
I'm starving.
- Oh, okay.
- Thank you.
Teresa.
Teresa.

Teresa.
Morning boss.
- What's up, Jay?
- Just wanna introduce
you to my friend Teresa.
- Hi, nice to meet.
- How you doing, Teresa?
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- Me too.
Have a seat.
- Oh, okay.
All right.
I see.
Looks good.
So you think you can do that?
Yes, I can do that.
- Okay, all right.
So we should be good to go.
- We good to go.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- You too.
Come on, Devin.
Pick up, pick up.
- Hello?
Yo, this is Jay, man.
Yo, I messed up.
Yo, Teresa started stressing me out
a few weeks ago about
her needing another job.
So I introduced her to Teddy.
Once I introduced him,
yo, I left the office.
Yo, but I could still hear the
conversation in the hallway.
And I overheard Teddy
telling Teresa that he used
to date Lela and he wanted her back.
This is bad, man.
I can't believe Teddy.
I knew he was up to some
bull when I met him.
There's something
about getting rid
of the person that Lela is dating.
I will call you back.
Jasmine, my partner Malik,
put a tracker on Lela's phone.
Go to Brice's house, then stay parked.
I will text you Brice's address.
If you see Teresa call me.
Then stay in the car until I get there.
- I wonder if she's in his apartment.
Oh, oh.
Right, is Lela here?
Lela.
- Thanks, but what's wrong?
- I just found out that you are
in my boyfriend's apartment.
Brice is just being a friend.
- Of course he is.
But you always seem to forget
that he's mine, not yours.
- What, what's this about?
Go home, man.
Go home.
You acting up man.
You bugging out right now.
You bugging.
- You out.
- Bugging.
- You walk into
my boyfriend's apartment and
just steal him away from me.
But you wrong, Lela.
Teresa, nothing's going on.
Save it.
Go home, go home, go home.
- Get out, man.
- You both deserve to die
for betraying me.
Get out of here.
How they gonna pull up on me?
All I ever wanted to do is help.
How it gonna pull up on me?
All I ever wanted to do is help.
I hurt nobody.
I had to do what I had to do.
She's got Devin, why she
gotta take my man, too?
Let me go for a ride.
I got the job done.
That's good.
Let me get your coat.
Yes, ma.
Now that you got the job done
and got those two out the way,
now we can talk about you taking
over my catering business.
This is such an exciting opportunity for me.
Have a seat.
Listen, taking care of
this catering business
is real serious business.
I gotta make sure I don't put
my trust in the right person.
All right.
That person is me.
I just hope I can live up
to your expectations.
I hope so too.
Let's get business done.
Let's make this money.
Let's make this money.
