Onika's POV
Havana, Cuba
March 5

We'd been in Cuba for almost a week now. No one in my family knew where I was because Meek had my phone. I updated them today because I knew they'd be mad.

The trip to Havana was very last minute. Meek said it was so we could work on our relationship. I loved the idea, so I wasn't too opposed. It was obvious that he was here to do something else but I was focusing on the good part.

"You look nice." He complimented as I finished applying my makeup. I started blushing as I thanked him.

"Where are we going?" I stood up whilst picking up my purse.

"There are these food trucks a couple of minutes away. I need to meet someone but we're getting food." He explained.

"Ok." I pecked his lips.

We had our ups and downs like any other couple. I was happy we were back on our ups. I had fallen completely in love with him again.

He held his hand out for me and I took it as we left the hotel room.

We went to a really busy street. There were people everywhere, and live music. It was really nice. It smelt amazing too.

"Let me take this call and I'll be right back." I smiled as he walked away. I walked to one of the food trucks and read the menu.

"Can I please get the picadillo?" I asked the man and I paid him a dollar whilst thanking him. I waited for my food.

As I waited, my attention was grasped by a velvety voice behind me.

"Can I please get 2 of the picadillos? Yeah, thank you." I turned and was met by a blonde mane. When she turned she looked directly at me and I turned to walk away from her.

"That's how you treat your friends?" She joked.

"Can we not do this?" I responded.

"Your boyfriend is going to be on a call for 7 minutes, to be exact. That's enough time for us to talk. Let's get our food and sit down somewhere." She ushered. I felt her hand on the small of my back as she turned me around to get our food and walk. "There's a beach right around that corner, we can talk there."

I gave in and walked with her.

When we got to the beach, I stopped walking and sat down on a random bench. She sat next to me and started eating her food.

"Why are you here?" I asked her.

"For business and a family trip."

"Where's your family then?"

"They're back at the house."

"You have a house here?" I was curious now.

"Yeah but that's not why I'm talking to you. Hold on." She took a bite of her picadillo. "Why won't you leave Meek?"

"Didn't I say-"

"I don't care. He's not treating you right and you're still with him." She stared off into the ocean whilst eating.

"You're evidently not in a relationship, so I wouldn't expect you to know what it's like to love someone through the bad and good." I was annoyed at the fact she wasn't looking at me.

"I understand you're upset, so I won't take that comment personally." She was halfway done with her food.

"You keep attacking my relationship as if you know anything about it."
