The violent sounds from his alarm had woken him up, indicating it was time to start his day. Derrick rose in his bed slowly turning his head to the other side of his king bed. Sadly like the last few nights the space was left empty. Derrick and his lover hadn't been seeing eye to eye for weeks and one night things turned left. Causing her to up and leave. He figured she needed to cool off a bit but he didn't know one night would turn into two, then three, and so on.
He started his day off by freshening up and feeding the dog they had shared named Pebbles. He tried calling Nadir but to no surprise, she didn't answer. He wasn't sure what he was doing wrong. Deciding to leave her be he sat down in his living room and started to eat breakfast when his began phone rang abruptly. Noticing it was Slane calling he answered," Yeller ".
"My dude. Anyways I'm out front so we can go set up for Meila . She's finally gone". " Aight boss man. I'll be out in a sec". He grabbed his things consisting including his keys and a Nike backpack. He said his goodbyes to Pebbles while making sure to lock up. "What up my man," Slane said as Derrick entered his car. They drove for about thirty minutes vibing to music until they reached their stop. "So... Nadir still isn't talking to me man. I'm trying here but I don't know what's going on with her. She left because we got in a fight about her always coming home late". " Well did she even explain why?" Slane asked while shutting the car off.
"That's the thing she wasn't trying to tell me. Was upset about me accusing her of stuff apparently but I didn't. I simply said either there's a reasonable explanation or you're being sneaky about something because it wouldn't be that hard to tell me". " I don't know man. Maybe she's blowing off steam or something". " Steam from what though and if that was the case then she would have said that. I mean what's so hard about saying that". Slane simply nodded in aggressively and they exited the car entering the grocery store.
"Alright D, you got chips and snacks and I'll get the cake and beverages. Deal?". "Yessir," Derrick responded. They both rushed off to different parts of the store.

Derrick and all the guys were back at Slane's and Meila's house now waiting for the girls to get back. Everything was set up perfectly for Meila all they needed was for her to arrive.
"Guys! Everybody in the living room. They're coming inside now. Nadir just texted me". " Nadir texted you ?", Derrick questioned. He only found it odd because she wasn't answering any of his calls or gets for the past couple of days. Derrick, Rasheed, and Slane all entered the living watching the door slowly open.
" Surprise ", everyone shouted. Melia had nothing but pure excitement and appreciation written all over her face.
While everyone mingled and enjoyed themselves Derrick saw the opportunity to speak with Nadir. Walking up slowly to the kitchen where she was Derrick broke the awkwardness by snapping Nadir out of her thoughts," You must be doing fine since you're returning everyone's calls and texts but mine". "Please Derrick. I'm not ready to talk right now". "Yet you still won't explain to me what's going on. If there's nothing wrong then why won't you talk to me ", he let out frustrated.
He was waiting for her to say something. Anything. Nadir's eyes had switched to somewhere else and as he turned to look she had already moved in that direction. ____________________________________ It was now time for everyone to part ways for the night and Derrick was wondering if he'd return home to any empty bed once again. He walked over to "Nadir could we at least go home and talk. Even if you don't want to stay", he begged. Nadir looked into his eyes and he couldn't help but fall to the knees for this woman. He could fall for her all over again with those eyes. He searched in her for a response once more and received a nod in approval. Derrick said his goodbyes to Slane, Melia, and everyone else.
He waited at the passenger car door for Nadir and he noticed the weird interaction between her and Melia. He knew the girls were best friends and hid things but something seemed off. The look they gave each other seemed different. Melia seemed worried about something.
"Is everything okay ?", he asked. He saw the weird look on her face. "With Melia, I mean. Is everything okay with her. She seemed worried or shaken up when we were leaving. Are you guys good?". "Oh yeah she's all good. She was trying to figure out if her outfit for her and Slane's dinner was perfect. You know how she gets sometimes. She's like me, we wanna dress our best and sometimes try new things"she answered. "Makes sense I guess. I'm glad you guys are good".
His attention turned back to the road while hers turned to her phone.
