‼️‼️TRIGGER WARNING: ABUSE‼️‼️

Onika's POV
Her Apartment
February 15

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and it was a cute little Valentine's Day but it wasn't one for the books. Meek had promised to take me to a cute restaurant but he hadn't booked a reservation.

So we ended up staying home and ordering in some food, for some weird reason he was keeping his distance. He spent most of the night on his phone after we ate.

It would be a lie if I said it didn't bother me.

Today was different though because he was evidently hiding something. I was going to confront him about it once I'd fed Zamora.

"What do you wanna eat, baby?" I fried some eggs.

"Can I have some blueberry pancakes, please?" She politely requested and I started the pancake batter.

I put on some music and we both sang to the lyrics as I started her pancakes. Of course it was Frozen. Her favourite.

"Let the storm rage awwwwn!" I sang. She was cheesing so much and sang the rest.

"The cold never bothered me anyway." She got up and started dancing around the kitchen. We sang the rest of the soundtrack as I finished up her pancakes.

"3 blueberry pancakes for Miss Zamora Grace." I placed her little Minnie Mouse plate in front of her, then a cup of apple juice. "Do you want more blueberries on top?"

She nodded and I gave her more blueberries and left her to eat as I went to check on Meek. I knew Zamora would take at least 15 minutes just to eat her pancakes. If she was watching something, then that'd be 30 minutes.

When I entered the bedroom, I closed the door behind me. He ignored me and stayed on his phone.

"Meek, can we talk please?"

"Yeah yeah, sure." He mumbled, still not looking up at me.

"Get off your phone, so we can talk." I heard him kiss his teeth before looking over at me. I put all my weight onto my right leg. "Why are you so glued to your phone anyway? Same thing yesterday."

"Why you asking so many questions?" He furrowed his brows as his phone started to ring. He ignored it and kept his eyes on what I was doing.

"Who's calling you? Why aren't you picking up?" I approached the bed and he quickly snatched his phone up as he saw me reaching for it.

"Back up. It's nothing." He spoke whilst peeking to see who was calling him.

"Why are you being so secretive?"

"The same way you was secretive about who was picking you up all December?"

"I told you that was my friend? You didn't even ask for her name or nothing. Quite frankly, I didn't think you cared." I shrugged.

"Cool, I don't think you'll care who's calling me."

"I do care and as your girlfriend, I think I deserve to know." I walked closer to the bed. "Especially when I feel like you're hiding something from me."
