Solace's POV, 8:02 A.M.

I woke up to see Nelson lying on the floor, a small blanket covering him. My blanket was noticeably bigger, so I got out of his bed and laid next to him, wrapping the blanket around him.

I hadn't even remembered falling asleep, let alone anything past Nelson and I making TikToks and doing an IG live. We had fun, and I was glad that I could go to South Carolina with him. I'd sat there for about another 25 minutes on my phone before he woke up.

"Mornin', Solly." He said in his morning voice, turning over to face me.

I looked at him and half-smiled as I set my phone down. I didn't know why, but I felt like if I was white, I'd be blushing. I took in his features while he was close enough for me to do so. His bright blue eyes, the small curls that strayed from the rest of his hair, down to the pretty pink of his lips.

"You okay?" He asked.

He must've caught me staring at him. I shook away the thoughts and nodded.

"Yeah, mornin' Nels." I smiled at him.

I gave him a peck on the lips and smiled at him once more. He pulled me in for another before we actually stopped.

"We gotta go eat and all that, so come on." He spoke as he rubbed his eye.

I got up, pulling him up with me before I grabbed my slippers. As I finished putting them on, I felt Nelson come up behind me and hug me, placing his head on my shoulder.

"I don't wanna go back out there. I wanna lay wit' you." Nelson muttered.

"I know, my love, but we have to. You can't run on a diet of me, that ain't how it works." I explained.

"Fine, whatever, let's go." He groaned as he began guiding me out of the room.

I wanted to tell him to get off of me, but I didn't have the heart to deny him.

When we got downstairs, I saw quite a few unfamiliar faces. I did the best I could to smile and wave.

Nelson's POV, 8:35 A.M.

"Nels, who this?" Cam asked from on my couch.

I didn't know how to explain what me and Solly were, so I stood there, silent.

"Ohh, I know her. This Jay little cousin!" Zeddy spoke.

"Yeah, her name's Solly. Solly, this is Cam, Kervo, you know Lavar, and--" I introduced her before she cut me off.

"Oh. My. God! You know Zeddy? Jay knows Zeddy? Zeddy knows me?" She jumped up and down in excitement.

"Damn, Nels. You gon' let Zeddy take ya' girl?" Lavar chuckled out.

"Welp, there's that." I sucked my teeth at him.

"Damn, y'all, Nels gettin' his girl took already." Cam said to the camera.

"Nelss, you didn't tell me you knew Zeddyy!" She drew out her words.

"It mattered?"

"Well, no, but--" She started.

I wasn't tryin' to be mean, but it just happened like that. Solly could handle it...or so I thought.

"Okay then. Now go eat and stop screamin'." I muttered as I rolled my eyes.

It wasn't that I minded her being a fan, but why did she care so much? If she knew him, she should've known me. Maybe I was draggin' it, but it seemed weird. Not on her part, but to me.
