Location- Memphis International Airport
Time- 12:13 am
"How was your flight?" My mom asks as I put my carry-on in her backseat. Instead of calling an Uber, my mom offered to pick me up.
"It was fine, I didn't get much sleep on the plane though," I say as I buckle my seatbelt.
"Once you're back in your own bed, you gone be out," She says making me nod.
"You got work in the morning?" She asks.
"Yup," I sigh as I unlock my phone to see a voicemail from Ja that he left me not too long ago.
"Khadijah Ali, you got one more time not to answer my fucking calls or texts. When I get back in the M, it's yo ass," I huff as I listen to it. Calling me by my whole government name is wild but that's just how I know he's upset right now.
"Everything okay?" She looks over at me for a split second.
"Yesterday I told Ja that I love him and instead of talking to him about it I've been ignoring him," I put it simply.
"You panicked huh?" She asks and I nod.
"That wasn't how I planned to say how I love him. It didn't have to be some special way but I didn't wanna say it over the phone," I frown.
"You need to stop ignoring him Didi, it's only gonna make things worse. When is he coming back?" She asks stopping at a red light.
"Friday night but I won't see him till Saturday," I say making her nod.
"I can guarantee you he feels the same way, just talk things out with him," She says.

Time- 10:47 am
"You're late," Asia spoke as walked off the elevator, making my presence known.
"Oh really? I didn't know," I say sarcastically as I walk up to the receptionist's desk where Tasha was sitting.
"Girl lemme give you a hug, I missed you," Tasha stood up and went around the desk over to me.
"I was gone for less than two days T," I giggle and she wraps her arms around me.
"I was stuck wit this bitch the whole time, none of us could take being around this girl," She whispers in my ear making me burst out in laughter.
"Don't worry, daddy's home," I reference Drake making Tasha suck her teeth.
"You a whole clown," She rolls her eyes playfully. She reaches behind the desk and hands me my appointment list.
"Here, your appointments for the day," She says as I take it.
"Thank you, I'll talk to you later," I say before brushing past Asia and heading to my office. I open the door and turn on the lights in my office as I skim through the names on the appointment sheet. As I do so my eyes land on a familiar name.
Kaiden W. Brooks- 11 am
"You have got to be kidding me," I groan. Kaiden is King's little brother and he came to me from time to time for his checkups and shots. I sigh before taking my jacket off and take my white coat replacing it on the rack with my jacket. I take a couple of minutes to set things up and make sure everything is straight before Siloe comes knocking on my door.
"Ion know if my eyes are deceiving me but is that King and Kaiden out there?" She asks.
"Mhm, Kaiden has an appointment," I reply and she makes a yikes face.
"That nigga knew what he was doing by coming. He wants to see how you holding up," She says causing me to roll my eyes.
"He gone see me living my best life without him. But Kaiden is a sweetheart and I lowkey missed him so I guess there's a plus to this," I shrug.
