"Why are you now just getting in?" I ask turning in the lamp on my nightstand.
"Whatchu still doing up?" King questions in return. He was my boyfriend for two years now and for the past couple of weeks, he's been doing some shady shit.
"I asked you a question first," I say sitting up in bed. He walks over to me, pulling me up by my arms.
"Cmon baby, you know how the guys are, once we got to the club we lost track of time," He says lifting my head up by my chin.
I roll my eyes, "I really don't though," I say. I notice something on his cheek and I turn his head.
I scrunch up my face, "King why the fuck do you have a lipstick stain on your face?!" I push him away from me.
He chuckles, "Bae, it's not even that serious. You know females are, all up on me and shit," He shrugs.
I squint my eyes, "So you let bitches be all up on you, knowing you have a girlfriend? You really expect me to believe go to the club when you always come home with this type of shit? " I question. Instead of answering my question, he walks away from me, he goes to my dresser, and begins talking off his jewelry.
"Don't you got work in the morning?" He asks dismissing my question.
"Get out," I say simply making him scoff.
"Ight, Ima just go sleep on the couch," He shrugs, beginning to take off his shirt.
"No I mean get out, get out of my apartment King," I tell him pointing to my door. He turns around to face me.
"Ight, Khadijah," He says shaking his head. He walks up to me kissing my lips before proceeding to leave.
"Love you, baby!" He shouts and I hear the front door close.
"Fuck you nigga," I mumble wiping my lips before getting back into bed.

"I told yo ass about him Di," Siloe said shaking her head. Siloe and I have been friends since our first year as interns here. We both desired to be pediatricians and went through almost everything together. Ever since our first time meeting we've been connected at the hip. She's really a real one. Anyways, right now we were sitting outside having our coffee before we had to go in and start our day.
"I know and the bad thing about it is, I still have love for him," I frown, drinking my coffee. Yes, you guys can call me a dumb bitch for real, cause at this point I'm looking like one.
"That dick must really got you in a trance or something. He cheated on you once already, and he's doing it again, when are you gonna leave his ass?" She questions resting her head on the palm of her hand.
"He's a dog I've been told you this Dijah. You need to break up with his ass so we can have a hot girl summer. Doctors by day hoes by night feel me," She sticks her tongue out doing a little dance.
"I feel you girl, I'll try my best to handle it," I say sighing.
She hums, "Cmon let's get this day started," Siloe gets up from her seat and I follow suit. Once we made it to the lobby, I noticed a bunch of patients waiting,
"Morning T, how are you?" I asked walking up to the front desk.
"Morning, I'm fine, thanks for asking. I have your appointments for the day," Tasha said placing a stack of folders on the desk.
"It's gon be a long day huh?" I ask picking the folders up.
She chuckles, "Yes it is," She says before directing her attention to her computer. After getting on the elevator and going to the second floor, I make my way to my office. Once I got to my office I took a seat in my chair and opened the first folder in the pile.

Time- 1:20 pm
"Alright I know the nurse checked her breathing but I just want to listen for myself," I say putting on my pink stethoscope.
I placed it on her chest, "Okay, Skylar go ahead and take a deep breath for me," I instruct the four-year-old. After listening for a couple of seconds I took note of her wheezing.
"So can you tell if she has asthma or not?" Her mother asks. I take off my stethoscope and roll my chair over to my desk putting it down.
"Um, I want to do a peak flow test to be sure," I tell her.
"What is that?" The mother asks.
"It's a meter used to measure the amount of air she can blow out of her lungs," I say as I get up going over the cabinets to get a test.
"Does anyone in the family smoke or does anyone in your family have asthma?" I question as I take a test and open the baggie it was in. I take an alcohol wipe to clean it on.
"My mother, she smokes," The mom informs me.
"Is Skylar around her a lot?" I ask as I hold the peak flow out to her.
"Just blow on that for me sweetheart," I instruct.
"Yes, we live with her," She says and I nod my head.
"So, secondhand smoke can trigger an asthma attack which is why you're in today," I explain. As I was about to speak again a nurse knocked on the door.
"Dr. Ali, someone is here to see you," He says and I look at him.
"If they can wait, tell them to, I'm with a patient as you can see," I smile.
"This person claims it's important," He urges.
I sigh, "Uh, can you just monitor her flows while I go attend to this person," I say and he nods.
"I'll be back," I say and the mother nods. I leave the room and go into the hallway to see King standing there with flowers.
I roll my eyes, "Seriously at work?" I ask. I look around before I pull him into an empty room.
"I wanted to apologize," He smiles. He thinks shit is sweet.
"You can honestly keep whatever half-ass apology you're about to say. How many times a week do you have to go to the "club" wit yo homeboys? How many times are you gonna come to my apartment smelling like another bitch, having a hickey or a lipstick stain King?" I whisper-yell at him.
"What are you talking about Dijah?" He looks away from me.
"I'm not stupid, I can put two and two together. You fuck on another bitch and then come up in my face like shit is good," I say through clenched teeth.
"None of those bitches mean anything to me though," He said making me look at him like he was dumb.
"That makes it so much better," I say sarcastically. I place my hands on my head and take a deep breath.
"Get your shit outta my apartment King, I'm done with you and your bullshit. I'm done with everything surrounding you," I say with tears in my eyes.
He scoffs, "You breaking up wit me, you for real?" He asks scrunching his eyebrows.
"I'm so serious King, I checked out of this relationship and clearly so have you. You can leave now," I leave not bothering to listen to what he had to say next. Before I walked back into my office I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down and I wiped my tears. After I regained my composure I walked into my office smiling.
"Sorry for the interruption, where were we?" I ask.
