"I'm so sick and tired of this Nate! When is it gonna stop! When is this ever gonna stop!"

I look deeply into his bloodshot eyes. His hair a complete mess, his breath smelly and hot. Is this what it's going to be like every night?

"I'm a fuck up okay? I do stupid shit I know but I'm sorry baby I'm so sorry"

By this time he was on his knees in front of me, his arms wrapped around my waist pulling me closer to him. I roll my eyes and sigh, shaking my head. Like I haven't heard this shit before

"How do I know you're not lying Nate? Every night you either come home high or drunk or whatever the hell it is. How can I be sure I can still trust you? The engagement party is tomorrow, I don't want to be going through this constant fighting!"

"I'm sorry baby I am. I'll do better I promise I promise" he pleads. He stands up and rests his head against my chest "I'll tell you everything you need to know just give me another chance"

"I don't know Nate" I lay on the couch, Nate's arms still wrapped around my waist and still hovering over me

"Please sugar, just give daddy another chance" he pleads, placing kisses all over my chest area

"Okay fine" I give in, tilting my head back in disappoint "Aariah you can come down now!"

"Are y'all done yelling?"

"Yes!"

"Good!" She runs downstairs and straight to the kitchen where she grabs a tub of Nutella. There's nothing Aariah hates more than being trapped in a room with Nate and I bickering. "so Nate where were you? India was freaking out all day"

I look at Nate curiously, who stutters before speaking

"I was originally going to check out the venue for our engagement party but then I got a call from one of my buddies who said my boss Derek Luh was looking for me"

Derek Luh as in the guy we just barely escaped from? It couldn't be the same Derek.. Could it?

"Hey that's funny, India and I just got-"

"Aariah!" I shake my head, indicating for her to stop talking. She nods and walks upstairs with her Nutella sandwich and tall glass of milk

"So this Derek guy..who is he exactly?"

I ask biting my lip

"He's my boss. The plug to be exact. I get all my weed from him and I basically do his sales...why?"

"I was just curious you know. In case I happen to run into him"

A little too late for that

"Well if you do run into him run the other direction. Avoid him at all costs"

Nate looks to me in a warning tone. I have to admit his protective look was sexy

"Why?"

I ask curiously, considering the fact I just left his car without a scratch

"Baby I want you to trust me alright? Derek Luh is a dangerous man. And I don't want him to lay a hand on my babygirl"

He says, stroking my right cheek with his thumb

"INDIA!"

I hear Aariah scream from the second floor. Nate releases me from his grasp and I rush to the presence of my bestfriend who advances her phone towards my direction

"It's for you"

I take the phone and put it on speaker

"H-hello?"

"Usually the Cinderella girl would leave a shoe or a cell phone but in your case you left about... 6 shopping bags and a purse in my car"

He chuckles a bit to himself. The recognition is almost instant

"Derek?"

"The one and only"

"Shit my stuff" I slap my head in frustration "ok just tell me where you are I'll come get everything"

"I don't think that's gonna happen, considering the fact that you don't have a car."

"Thanks for the reminder jackass"

I assume he didn't get the bitterness of my comment due to the fact that it caused a small chuckle to leave his lip

"I'll tell you what mami, I'll go out of my way to your little shindig tomorrow and I'll give it to you there"

"No Derek you're not invi-"

"See you tomorrow princess"

And with that, he hung up.

"Damn. And I thought Damon Salvatore was sexy"

I roll my eyes at Aariah's statement as we both make our way back downstairs

"What happened sugar?"

Nate says, making room for me to go back to my original position. I slip underneath him and shrug my shoulders

"Aariah just needed a tampon. You know periods and girl stuff"

How the hell am I going to get this past him.
