So I decided to update this at 12 in the morning because there is currently a REAL bad storm passing through VA and I have real bad anxiety with storms😰. So I'm writing this chapter to distract me. Sooo yeah enjoy👌🏾

*Same Day*

Nadia POV

I wake up out of my sleep opening my eyes slowly to adjust to the bright light. I sit up and look out the window seeing it's still dark out. I grab my phone looking at the time seeing its 11:37. I rub the sleep out of my eyes. I look at the bed to see a sleeping Jeremiah and Zelle. I stand up and stretch. I remember I drove Zelle's car so I have no way home. I sigh and leave out the room. I look down at my phone to check the time again and I bump into someone.

Me- "my bad sorry" I look up seeing De'marcus
D-"you leaving?"
Me-"yeah. see you later I guess"
D- "how you gone get home?"
Me-"I was gone take the train"
D-"Nah, you aint finna take a train at 12 in the morning in New York. I got you," he said shaking his head
Me-"it's out the way I'm fine"
D-"man just bring yo ass on" he says sucking his teeth

I sigh and walk out behind him. I follow him to his Range and hop in the passenger side. He gets in and heads off towards Sean's house. We sit in an awkward silence. As we get close to the condo I go to my purse to look for my keys... they aren't there.

Me-"Fuck!"
D- he looks at me like I'm crazy "what?"
Me-"I don't have my keys, I hope Sean is home"

De'marcus burst out laughing, I glare at him .

D-"he not gone be home. You and me both know he probably out fucking some hoe." I laugh along with him nodding in agreement.

He suddenly make a u-turn.

Me-"De'marcus where are you going?"
D-"you locked out. You gone sleep outside?" I shake my head "ugh the then chill out, I got you"

I shut up and sink down into the seat. My eyes start to get heavy and the next thing I know I'm out like a light.

************
I slowly open up my eyes. I look around realizing I'm in a bed.... De'marcus's bed... alone. I throw back the sheets and look down to find my bare legs. He changed my clothes? I'm wearing one of his big t shirts. I hop off the bed and step into the hallway. The dim blue light shines up the stairway from the TV. I slowly creep down the stairs and the back of De's head comes into view. He sitting down inhaling the smoke from a blunt. I reach the bottom of the steps and his voice scares the hell out of me

D-"You are really bad at creepin ma"
he says letting out a low chuckle and not looking away from the TV

I don't respond, I walk over and sit in a arm chair across for the couch where he is. After a few minutes he turns his attention to me. He puts the blunt out

D-"come here"

I slowly stand up and walk over to him, I stop in front of him. He looks at me sideways and pulls my down beside him.

D-"so I guess we should talk about what happened..."
I nod
Me-"yeah I guess"
D-"Okay so I got pissed off and broke it off. I regret it but then again I don't. I'm glad I did because we both got our own issues to solve. "
Me-"Yeah, I was to blame for this. Can't be mad at anyone but myself. I'm sorry trying for putting through a bunch of shit. I didn't realize it the time but I was being selfish and I was letting my insecurities get the best of me.... I'm sorry, but ummm could you see us getting back together?"
D- he chuckles "soon? Nah. but maybe when you Get yourself together in the future maybe. I love you and will never stop. We can still talk, lets just stay the
like the way we were before."
Me- I sigh "that's cool." I say sadly

De'marcus pulls me into a hug and kisses my cheek. He gets up and heads upstairs leaving me alone. Tears begin cloud my eyes, soon they begin to trickle down my cheeks dripping on my legs. I just lost the best thing that has ever happened to me for good. I'm stupid asf, I shoulda just trusted him. I lean back taking a deep breath

**************
I suddenly wake up to a sharp pain on my inner thigh. I jump up in a panic, I
look up to see a laughing De'marcus. I throw a pillow at his head.

D-"you were taking up the couch" he says with a shrug."
Me-"what time is it" I say sheepishly
D-"1:34"
Me-"damn I slept all day"
D- he nods "pretty much"

I stand up, and head up stairs. I go in the bathroom and do my hygiene stuff. I walk out heading to the bed to find some clothes. I pull out some grey and black joggers and a black hoodie and some black roshes. I head back downstairs and plop down on the couch beside De. My stomach starts to growl and De'marcus burst out in laughter.

D-"yoo. you mad hungry. Better be lucky ya boy cooked."

I jump up and sprint to the kitchen.

D-"phatty! Don't eat up all my food!" He yells
Me-"shut up" I yell back

I look on the counter and see fried chicken and Mac n cheese. I start to dance my dance. I looooove De's Mac n cheese. its bangin! I'm finna get my grub on. I make my plate and smash.
As I finish eating De'marcus calls my name.

Me-"yes!"
D-"I gotta head out. Ima drop you off at home. Sean is there"
Me-"okay"

I hop down from my stool and throw my plate in the dish washer. I follow De out the house and into the car. The ride ride to Sean's house was silent but this time it was comfortable. He pulls up and I open up the door he grabs my arm

D-"ion get a bye?"
Me-"thanks de and bye."

In return he pulls me into a hug
I take in his scent... polo, mint and a hint of weed.

D-"you gonna stop sniffing me?"
I blush
Me-"sorry"
D-"it's cool"

I get out the car and head up to the door and go in the house.
