"Ooo. These are cute," Asia remarked, shifting through the drawer of underwear as she and Haven stood in Victoria's Secret. "These aren't my size, though." She shut the drawer with a subtle frown on her face.

Haven held up the same ones in her size. "Here."

"Thank you."

Haven looked over her shoulder, spotting Harmony outside the store with her phone up to her ear. She shook her head, knowing she was most likely arguing with her girlfriend. "I hate her relationship for her."

"Whose relationship?" Asia questioned, looking in Haven's direction before catching on. "Harms? I hate it for her too. She doesn't deserve the mistreatment."

"She's in love with her, though. It's going to take her a while to step back."

"True," Asia nodded. "All we can do is be by her side through it all."

All three had decided to take a trip to the mall for some endless shopping, but Harmony had been interrupted by a call from her girlfriend. She had now been on the phone for about 15 minutes, mostly consisting of her girlfriend questioning and accusing her as always.

It was endless on her girlfriend, Miah's, end.

Haven continued sifting through the drawers and decided to pick up a few pieces for Harmony since most of her time was spent on the phone and not on shopping.

"I'm sorry," Harmony spoke, causing Haven to look up from the drawers, a somber expression on her face.

"You don't have to apologize."

"I know, but..." Haven shook her head, cutting her off before she could continue. "Harms, it's fine."

Harmony nodded, now paying attention to the items Asia held in her hand. "Those are cute."

"Yeah, I wouldn't be buying this much if it wasn't for the sale."

"True," Haven agreed. "I'm tired of buying this nice stuff without having to show it off."

"Then wear it to impress yourself."

"That's what I've been doing." Haven picked up another pair, adding it to the pile in the bag on her shoulder. Her phone started vibrating in her hand, causing her to pull back and take a look at it.

would like to FaceTime...

"Hello?"

"Lolo, whatchu on?"

"I'm at the mall right now." She responded now looking down at her phone now seeing him sitting in a car. "Why?"

"Who you with?"

"Asia and Harmony." She moved her phone to Harmony now in the picture as she quickly looked at Haven's  phone.

He nodded before speaking, "Wassup Harmony."

Harmony looked before just giving off a simple nod before walking away to the perfume section.

"I called you cause Mari asked if you can retwist his hair."

"Mari, couldn't have called to ask me that?" Haven asked, confused.

"Nope, he wanted to see if you was with Harmony." She heard Mari yell causing Bam's facial expressions to falter. "What? Don't say I'm lying nigga."

Haven ignored their antics, heading for the checkout line. "Mari I can fit you in on Thursday."

Their conversation carried over for a little more before she ended the call, moving up to pay for her items. Paying for her stuff, she reached Asia and Harmony as they both were still shopping. "

"Bam?" Asia turned to look at Harmony.

"Huh?" Harmony responded. "Asia don't start."

"I'm just asking." She shrugged, "I've just been peeping some things."

"Well, there's nothing there to peep." Harmony shut it down. "I'm with Miah."

Once Harmony dropped Haven and Asia off at her and Nino's place, Haven retreated to their guest room, deciding to take a long nap due to her tiredness and the discomfort of her cramps.

Her nap was cut short by pain shooting through her abdominal area. "Where is my medicine?" she mumbled, shifting through her bag and pulling out some Tylenol.

Heading downstairs in need of something to drink, she stopped short, seeing a figure at the counter who seemed like Cairo. The sight alone caused her to hesitate, watching as he opened a Ziploc bag and seemingly popped two pills into his mouth.

"Excuse me," she spoke, sliding past him to reach the fridge and grab a drink.

As she took the pain relievers, the silence in the kitchen spoke volumes. His demeanor also told another story.

His left hand trembled as he tried to calm himself down, moving his hands upward to rub down his face while his left hand continued to tremble. "You okay?" she asked.

No words left his mouth as he only gave her a simple nod.
