A few days later...

Tatiana's POV

"Fuck" Tatiana had mumbled as she rolled out of bed with a pounding headache after spending another night out with the girls. Ever since she saw Prince tell Lisa he loved her and when Michael just sent her a text to see if she was okay instead of calling her, she ended up crying away the pain and when that didn't work she went out... ALOT.

Some may think she is overrating or being dramatic, but she knows anyone would be hurt to see their child clinging on to somebody who wasn't them especially when the other parent didn't ask for permission. She knew that Michael had majority custody of Prince, but he could've at least let her know who was watching her son while he was in another state.

As Tatiana got up and stretched her body, she looked at her phone to see that she had two missed calls from Danny, a few texts from her friends and three calls from an unknown number.

"That's odd", Tatiana thought to herself. She knew that she hasn't given anyone new her number because she and Danny talked about going steady since it looks like Lisa made up her mind about the marriage and assisted on continuing filing a divorce.

But her being her, Tatiana didn't care much to follow up, instead she got up from her bed to start her day.

While walking to the kitchen she randomly noticed how quiet her apartment was and instantly got sad because for some reason she started thinking about the future that her and Michael had painted together and it was supposed to be a house full of children, laughter and love; but that wasn't the case. Moving around her kitchen slowly, Tatiana grounded herself some fresh coffee beans and put them in her espresso machine then she got her favorite crystal pink mug and put it under the machine then pressed start.

While waiting for her coffee to brew she went ahead and steamed herself some fresh oat milk then proceeded to gather some of her favorite ingredients to make herself a fresh acai bowl. Once she heard the little whistle from her coffee machine she stopped cutting her fruit for her bowl and went ahead and continued making her coffee. Once she was done putting it all together, she turned around and leaned against the counter top, took a sip of her coffee, and looked out to her empty apartment.

Mixed emotions. That's what she was feeling, still stuck about Sunday's activities she didn't know how to feel or what she really wanted. She enjoyed her own space and having her free time, but then again she did miss having someone around keeping her company.

"Maybe I should call Danny back?" Tatiana had thought to herself while she was still drinking her coffee.

After a few minutes of drinking her coffee and thinking; Tatiana walked back to her room and grabbed her phone to call Danny. While she grabbed her phone off the bed to see it was ringing once again.

"Who is calling me?" she wondered when looking at the number. "(669) 354-0508, who is this?" Tatiana had whispered.

"Whatever." Tatiana mumbled and foreword the call and called Danny to see if he could come over.

RING RING RING

"Hey sleepyhead." Danny lightly laughed at her knowing she just woke up.

"Hey you, sorry for missing your call." Tatiana lightly laughed at him feeling slightly embarrassed.

"It's okay, how are you feeling today?" Danny asked knowing she's been upset for a while.
