Denari picked up her phone and dialed Malik's number. "Hello?" he answered. "Hey, you busy?" she asked. "No why?" he asked. "I was wondering if you want to hang out. I really need to clear my mind" she said. "Yeah sure. I'mma pick you up in 10" he said before she hung up. She had a quick shower and did her hair into a messy bun and put on a white jeans shorts and a pink crop top with her pink sandals. She packed some extra clothes just in case she decided not to come back. She made sure everything was in check before she turned the lights off and went downstairs to the lobby.

"Hey" Malik said as she smiled. "Hey" she said. "You planning on staying over?" he asked. "Not necessarily" she said thinking that it was a mistake. "You know I'm good either way" he smiled as he opened the door for her. "So how was your date?" he asked. "How can I put this now? It was great at the start. Honestly, it was amazing until it wasn't" she said. "What do you mean?" he asked while his eyes were on the road. "He wanted sex of the first date and I didn't feel comfortable enough to do it with him yet since we were still fresh and he wouldn't stop so I squeezed his balls and walked out of his car and ended whatever there was between us" Denari explained. "Wait, so he still went ahead even though you said no?" Malik asked trying not to get upset.

"Yes, but please Malik, don't do anything to him" Denari begged. "Why are you begging for him?" Malik asked. "Because I know what you're capable of and I don't want you to go to jail" Denari replied. A soft smile crept up on his face. "Don't worry baby girl, I won't be in jail I promise and I promise that I won't do anything. But until further notice, you walk in and out the building with me. Since they can't appreciate a good woman, she will be taken away from them" Malik said. Denari smiled at his statement as she watched how the city was alive. A few minutes into her gazing, Malik announced that they had reached. "I still am trying to get used to how huge your house is" Denari said as she walked in behind Malik.

"I know right, it's crazy. Anyways, I suppose you ate sometimes already?" Malik asked. "Yeah I did" Denari answered. "Okay, well we can watch a movie and chill or if you're tired you can lay down on the bed" Malik said. "So you let anybody into your bed?" Denari teased. "No, in fact apart from my mother and my aunt, no other woman has been in here except you" he said. "Really? So where does Mr. Playboy go to have fun?" Denari asked. "He goes anywhere except his room" Malik replied. "I hear you quite well. Anyways," she said as she plopped down on his bed. "I am just going to chill. Care to join me?" she asked. "Sure, just let me change" he said before he walked into the bathroom.

He was surprised that they were so comfortable with eachother and that they didn't mind sharing their private moments with eachother because of their level of trust in eachother. Malik came back out in a pair of black shorts which showed his Calvin Klein boxers and Denari found herself craving for him but she had to control herself. I mean, she just came back from a good but bad date and she was already falling over someone who wasn't her date. "What?" Malik smirked. "Wh-I don't know what you're talking about" Denari said while trying to seem like she wasn't just drooling over him. "You sure?" he asked. "Yeah, I'm good" she said as Malik made his way over to the bed.

"So, what you wanna watch?" he asked. "Let's watch some Christmas movies" Denari said excitedly. "No" he said. "Why not?" she poured. "Because it's the middle of June. Why are we watching Christmas movies so early in the year?" he asked. "Well, unlike you, I like these movies and I can watch all the Christmas movies I want an you can't say nothing to me about it" Denari said. "Oh really? How about I tell you that if we're gonna watch these movies, we're going to watch my movies after. And they are going to be the same amount" Malik said as Denari glared at him.

"Fine, no Christmas movies" she huffed as Malik laughed. "I so dislike you" she said as he continued laughing. "Anyways, I think you need a little break from all of your stress" Malik said. Denari looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Let me take you out" he said. "Take me out? Where?" she asked. "We could take a vacation" he suggested.

"A vacation?" she repeated. "Yes. What do you think?" he asked as she considered his offer. "Yes, I would love to go on a vacation. In fact, I really need one" she said. "Awesome, so I guess we can go to a hotel and relax for a bit" he said. "Where would we go though?" she asked. "Virginia" he said. "Virginia? But that's so far away" she said. "Yeah but it's close to your parents" he said.

"Okay, so when would we leave?" she asked. "Tomorrow" he said. "That's rather quick" she said. "I know but we can always do something else if you want" he said. "How about we go to Miami?" she asked. "If that's what you want then okay" he said. "Aren't you gonna book our flights?" she asked. "For what?" he asked confused. "How do you expect us to fly to Miami?" she asked.

"I have a private jet hun. Don't sweat it" he said as he got up. "You staying the night right?" he asked. "Yeah I guess" she said. "Cool. Let me show you to your room" he said as he led her upstairs. The room was white with white sheets and a lavender comforter. "Wow, I love it" she smiled. "Thanks and I'm glad you like it" he said as she sat on the bed.

"So are we leaving tomorrow or what?" she asked. "We leave for tomorrow" he answered. "Okay, and how long will we be staying in Miami?" she asked. "For a week" he said. "Okay great" she smiled before she climbed into bed. Tomorrow was going to be an adventure.
