JREAMA awoke to slight darkness, as she slowly adjusted her eyes to her surroundings.

Clearly still in Diem's place, she laid still underneath the silk sheets.

Still nude as well, Jreama slowly turned to her left, to see Diem laid the other way, his back facing her. He held a light snore, which made her smile a bit before her eyes slowly veered upwards, taking in his outstretched arm and ultimately his hand, which lightly clutched a black pistol in it.

She then looked at the back of his head before darting her eyes around.

This nigga is sleeping with a gun, Jreama thought to herself before looking back up at the ceiling.

She began to figure out a way to quiet and quickly exit the bed and his home.

Shit

Confident her clothes were on the floor near the foot of the bed, she began the process of rising up. Looking back at a sleeping Diem, she continued to move before he stirred a bit, ultimately turning around. Light confusion etched his face before realizing who she was, as Jreama halted.

"Wassup?" He questioned groggily, his voice even lower and deeper.

"Nothin" Jreama answered shortly, as she watched him turn back around, placing the gun on his dresser.

"Nothin. You creeping out?" He questioned next, turning to look back at her.

"No. Just tryna get my clothes."

Eyes squinted now, in an effort to adjust to waking up, Diem cracked his neck.

"I get it for you," he offered, now slowly rising up.

Now in his black Ralph Lauren boxers, Jreama watched as he made his way to the end of the bed, picking up her clothes and handing them to her.

"Thanks."

"Yep," he grumbled before rubbing his eyes.

"Um...I was gonna get a Uber," Jreama admitted next.

This made Diem make a face of disgust.

"For what? I'm taking you to ya car," Diem said, as if she'd forgotten.

"Yeah, but I don't wanna be too much."

Diem smacked his lips.

"Girl."

Jreama continued to watch him, as he moved about in the light darkness.

"Just gimmie a minute."
