I woke up the next morning still in Javon's arms. I turned around to face Javon but he was still asleep. He was a cute sleeper.

I examined his body more as he slept—he had pretty defined abs, nice muscles, and some jewelry.

My eyes focused on the ring he had on. It was a silver ring with a purple gem in the middle that looked similar to an amethyst.

I grabbed his finger softly and started expecting the ring—It had an interesting design on it. There were what looked like writings on it.

I inspected it for a few more seconds before Javon took the ring off his finger and put it on my finger unexpectedly. I turned around to look at him and he was awake.

"Did you just propose to me?" I asked genuinely.

"What—" He said laughing.

"Think of it as a "friendship" ring." He said smiling at me.

"Mhm," I replied.

"It's my grandfather's ring." He said unwrapping his arms from me and getting up.

When he separated himself from me it was almost like I was in a state of desolation.

"He gave it to me when I was around 13 and I haven't taken it off since" He continued.

"Then why did you give it to me?" I said sitting up and looking at him.

"He told me to pass it on to someone who I think deserves it." He said looking back at me.

I just stared at him
"What makes you think I deserve it."

"Don't ask questions. Find you something to eat." He said almost demanding. I wasn't going to complain about food.

I got out of bed to make my way downstairs. I went straight to his huge pantry and found donuts. I turned around and saw his tall figure standing in the door frame of the pantry.

"What you loo-"
"I got what I was looking for." I cut him off already knowing what he was going to say.

He just chuckled and moved out of the way so I could walk to his counter and sit on it.

"So.... good morning." He said awkwardly clearly wanting to ask me about last night.

"Coco leaked my song," I said getting straight to the point.

"What?" He said pacing closer to me.

"She snuck into my studio and posted the song. She sent it to fans on Twitter." I said already getting irritated.

He just looked at me worried.

"She then told my receptionist to delete camera footage from Thursday which is when she snuck in." I continued.

His face was indescribable. It was like he was angry, sad, and disappointed all at once.

"What are you going to do." He asked.

"I'm not sure," I said eating one of the donuts.

"Do you want me to talk to her or..?" He said waiting for my confirmation.

"No... I don't want her to know I know." I said thinking about what I was going to do.

I jumped off the counter and made my way upstairs to grab my keys and clothes from last night.

I turned around and Javon was looking at me from the door frame.

"Do you want me to drive behind you?" He said.

"No it's fine, it was probably just paparazzi and I was just being over dramatic," I said forcing a chuckle.

"You're lying." He said crossing his arms.
