"thank you, we'll contact you." i smiled, connie's arm around my waist. our realtor nodded as we walked back to our car. we were looking for house to buy and live in but so far nothing has caught our eye.  

"did you like it?" connie asked and i shrugged. "not really, it seems small and i want to be able to have a guest bedroom and a big backyard." i pouted, putting my seat belt on and covering my stomach. it was like a habit now. "we'll find something we like soon. it's getting late, want something to eat?" i nodded. 

"fries and a frosty." 

connie turned his nose up, "eww." i rolled my eyes at him. "boy if you don't kick rocks. that combo is amazing." we pulled into the wendy's drive thru and waited. "no it's not." he replied, leaning his seat back. "well be happy it's the only thing i can tolerate still." my pregnancy has been fucking up my taste buds, cereal didn't taste good no more nor did some veggies or fruits. and it wasn't good for connie since he had to go out and get my weird cravings. 

i pulled out my phone to just my socials, dakota's new photo popping up on my feed first. "what the fuck." i cursed, tilting my head in confusion and anger. connie looked over at me before glancing down at my phone. "is that dakota? the fuck is she?" he asked and i zoomed in. "i don't know but why in the world-." i cut myself off. 

"it seems like she's safe." 

"she's in a bathtub." 

"okayyyy, it seems like a safe bathtub." 

i rolled my eyes and called kiana, she picked up on the second ring. "what's up, jas?" 

"dakota posted on insta." i stated. "whatttt!?" kiana yelled and i nodded. "yeah and she isn't replying to any comments." 

"she must be kidnapped." 

connie looked at the phone with his nose turned up. "kidnapped? bro, you a fool." he shook his head and spoke into the mic for my food.

"jasmine, you got me on speaker? and connie, SHUT UP!" kiana yelled again. "girl, go get deja. see if she's seen this." i tell her.  "DEJAAA!" i heard kiana yell for the girl and i turned down my volume. "see, when i try and call her, she doesn't answer but then she post on her instagram, whattt kiana?" deja cut herself off. 

"oh so you've seen it?" kiana asked deja. "yeah, just did. why, was that what you were coming in here for?" deja questioned. 

"any damn way," i cut into the conversation. "what are we gonna do?" 

"what can we do?" deja said into the phone, "she looks like she's fine, unless we want to alert the police, dakota looks like she's having the time of her life right now." i rolled my eyes and connie gave me a look. "i told you." 

"what about armin?" 

"i called him remember? he told me he hasn't seen dakota and he'd let us know when he did." kiana said and i shook my head. "what if he was lying?" 

"does it matter for real? maybe she's taking her vacation seriously and not talking to us for a reason." deja commented. "i agree," connie spoke and i glared at him. "you're not suppose to agree." i pinched his thigh and he winced. 

we'll talk when you come home, you on the way?" kiana asked. "yeah." i answered, dug into my fries that connie handed over to me. "just had to stop for some food." connie drove off from wendy's and headed on the highway. "did you get us anything?" 

i made a face, "no. have deja make y'all somethin." i dismissed kiana and i heard her scoff on the other end. "okay, fine, i'll see y'all when y'all get home." i hung up and immediately started to fuck up my food. 

"it's okay, jas. the food isn't going anywhere." 

"do y'all get off on saying that to me?" 

"what-." 

"exactly, now shut up."

"DAKOTA!" 

i jumped from the loud yell and swore my father was calling me again. i had just gotten dressed from my bath, armin was downstairs getting food and i was reeling over my photo i took. i knew it was going to cause chaos since i hadn't posted anything since i left virginia. i kinda left everyone in the dark for a good couple of days. 

however, people could get in touch with armin which wasn't always a good thing. 

i heard his heavy footsteps coming up and i braced myself. "dakota marlean smith, what did you do??" he had his phone in his hand, opened to my photo. i shrugged, "there was a mirror and i snapped a pic. did you even know that?" i pointed to the bathroom and armin groaned. 

"our friends are worried, kota. they keep calling me like i know where you are." 

"you do know where i am." i teased and armin threw his phone on the bed next to me. "have you read the comments?" i shook my head. "no, i posted it and turned off my phone. why?" i questioned, sending him a look before grabbing his phone. 

"like i said, our friends are worried."

"awww, zariyah is so nice." i smiled, scrolling through the rest of my comments. "that's not what i'm talking about." armin came over to me. "i turned off his phone and handed in back to him. "why can't i just let them worry?" i told him, "i'm fine, they know that i'm fine considering my photo. i don't have to do anything." i concluded. 

i climbed onto the bed, switching the tv on. "come lay with me, is food coming?" i asked, opening my arms. armin looked over his shoulder at me, contemplated whether or not he wanted to be wrapped up in my plans. "c'mon, you know you want to." i smirked at him and he threw his head back before coming over to me. 

"see," i kissed his cheek as he wrapped his arm around my waist. "i knew you'd cave." 

"i have no resistance with you." he mumbled onto my collarbone. i knew i didn't want my peace to leave and i wanted to just cut myself from the world but sooner or later, i would have to talk to my friends. i sighed against armin's blonde hair, playing with the short hairs on the back of his neck. 

being selfish for this one time couldn't be that bad, right?
