"Foreign come on, let me go before I'm late."  I demand struggling to get out of his tight grip.

"Man, that nigga can wait." He responds holding me tighter in place as he forces his head in the crook of my neck. His breath tickles making me squirm even more.

"I don't like to have people waiting on me."

"That's news to me."

"Baby." I tap his back. "Can you please let me up so I can start getting dressed?"

"What time is it?"

"Time for you to get up. Come on now, this is supposed to be an important get together. He's showing me places from his childhood." Foreign groans in my ear before I feel the weight of his body lighten.

"Fine but I'm going to remember this when we go places. Keep that same energy for me, 'kay."

"I will baby, just as long as you let me make it on time today." I agree as I swiftly move from the bed to on my feet.

"I'm holding you to it."

"Already knowing, my love." I enter into the closet in search of something to wear. I wanted to wear something casual since I'm sure we'd be doing a lot of walking and driving. My got to lately has been  tracksuits and sneakers with a bit of accessories to fix it up. I grab the set in brown and pair it with some nude and brown sneakers. Then off to the bathroom to brush my teeth, lotion my face, and start on my hair and makeup.

I decide to put my hair in a half up half down style to make my big flexi rod curls fuller. Instead of the hassle of foundation and lashes, I settle for a little concealer under the eyes, some blush, and mascara. Foreign comes up behind me when I'm just about done to check me out.

"You look good, sunflower."

"Thank you, honeybee."

"No problem at all." He kisses my neck and takes a step back. "You ready to go?"

"Just about, I'm going to text him to send me the address so I can meet him there."

"Aight, send me your location when you get there too."

"I will." I walk over to my perfumes and grab the Eden juicy apple fragrance by Kayali.

"Aight, give me lips before you go." He pulls me back to him and lifts my head up for our lips to meet. His tongue glides in my mouth swirling with mine. Before we can get carried away, I push him back and wipe the corners of my mouth. Good thing I only put on a liner and gloss.

"Let's stop before I end up being late. We'll finish this later."

"Definitely."

"Bye dada, give my munchkipump a kiss for me when he wakes up."

"Will do Ma Love."

I pull into the parking lot of a run down apartment complex feeling uneasy. My eyes scan the parking lot in search of Major ready to get to him to feel a little safer. He's no where to be found at the moment making me nervous. I'm quick to share my location before calling Foreign to keep me busy while I wait for Major.

"Hey baby." Hearing his voice brings comfort and settles the pace of my fast beating heart.

"Hey, sorry to bother you. I'm here in this rundown apartment complex waiting on Major. I wanted to call you to put me at ease until he gets here."

"Don't apologize Soul. Did the nigga say how long it was going to take him to get there? Why isn't he already there?" Foreign asks getting riled up like I knew he would.
