-WARNING- This chapter contains some sexual content s proceed with caution.

"BAE! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" My eyes shot open as Milan bounced up and down on my back. I glanced over at the clock "12.25p.m." I rolled over causing her to fall over on to the bed but as soon as I was positioned on my back she hopped back on top of me.

"Girl, why you waking me up?" I questioned rubbing my eyes. "And why you so damn excited?" re-opening my eyes I stared at her in confusion because she was just sitting there smiling like she didn't hear me talking to her. "Milan, what is wrong with you crazy girl?" I questioned again and she just giggled.

"Get up bae! I got the day planned out for us and we'll be late if we don't get up and start getting dressed now."

Leaning over I grabbed my phone off the night stand to check the date. "July 20, 2015". It wasn't our anniversary, her birthday was March 16 so it damn sure wasn't that and it wasn't my birthday either. Don't get me wrong, I loved surprises but I just wasn't used to getting them so often. I was usually the one doing the surprising in this relationship so I couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"Where we going?" I questioned sitting up slowly so that she wouldn't fall off my lap.

"Don't worry about all of that. Just get up! I got your clothes all picked out and ironed, all you gotta do is take a shower.... And brush your teeth because your morning breath is something else." I burst out laughing then pushed her on to the bed and hit her with my pillow a couple times before jumping up and running into the bathroom and locking the door.

"It's cool. You gotta come out eventually Mari!" was all I heard as she turned the knob trying to come in. I laughed and shook my head. Milan was the only person besides my family that called me Mari. She refused to call me Swae because that's what all the other girls call me and you know how girls feel about being different.

"This girl is something else." I thought aloud as I pulled off my pajama pants and turned on the shower. It's been four days since I'd seen Amia, and I couldn't get her off my mind. She'd hit me up a couple of times trying to link again but I didn't think that that was a good idea right now. I mean I would love to spend more time with Amia but every time I got around her our connection grew stronger and seeing as though im already in a relationship, that wasn't good at all. I stepped into the shower and let the hot water massage my body as my thoughts drifted back to the conversation I had that day at Amia's.

"So, why is a beautiful, successful woman like you single?" I questioned lifting the cup of juice to my lips and taking a huge gulp. I glanced over at her and she was staring down at her feet, her finger tracing the rim of her cup. I figured that she was going to feed me that "Most people don't want their girl to make more money than them" line, but what actually came out of her mouth made my heart drop.

"I appreciate you sharing that with me Amia. I want to let you know that you never have to worry about getting hurt like that again. No woman deserves to have to go through that and I hate that you had to experience it. I'll never let anything happen to you." I meant every word. Hearing what happened to her made me feel obligated to treat her the way she deserved to be treated. I wanted to know more about her, about her child hood and how she grew up, about her career and her plans for the future. Something about Amia really intrigued me. She wasn't just a girl that I wanted to have sex with, I really wanted to explore this girl mentally.
