: : Nia's p.o.v : :
"It was like three something in the morning and I was up watching t.v. I mean what else can you do when you have a two year old in the other room? As soon as the show I was watching went to commercial, I got a call. It was an unsaved number, and I really don't answer those. Who is calling at three in the morning anyway? Out of curiosity, I answered the phone."
: : Phone Call : :
Me: Hello?
???: Nia?
Me: Is this Dre?
???: Yeah.
"Is this dude serious? What does he want at three in the morning?"
Me: Why the hell are you calling me at three in the morning?
Dre: *Sucks Teeth* Play nice. I'm lonely.
Me: One. I'm not a dog, you don't tell me to do anything. Two. How did you get my number? And three. Where is your girlfriend?
Dre: *Chuckles* Understood Mami. And that second question was a little self explanatory. I am your boss.
"Well True.. he is.. I probably should have thought about that one. I guess he figured I was never gonna call him, so he decided to call me."
Dre: And Kayla broke up with me like two weeks ago. The phone call we had while you were in my office the other day, was when she could come get her stuff from my house.
"I mean, in a regular situation like this you would feel bad. But looking at Dre's background, I can't really say I blame her. But, of course, being the person I am. I'm not going to tell him that."
Me: I am so sorry. I didn't know. *rolls eyes*
Dre: Yeah. I mean it's not your fault that it happened.
"He's absolutely right. It sure isn't. I didn't sleep with him. Now that I think about it, I'm kind of mad. He was going to use me as a rebound, wasn't he?"
Me: Okay. That still doesn't explain why you're calling me at three in the morning.
Dre: Can I come over?
"Is this dude serious? *laughs to self* He cannot be for real. I am not about to be a rebound to anyone."
Me: You most certainly cannot.
Dre: Why not? I really need a shoulder to cry on right now.
Me: Don't you have a posse of other h*es in your phone that you can call?
Dre: *Sucks teeth* Yeah. they not answering.
Me: *Hangs up the phone*
"He really, really, really, just tried my life just then. About thirty seconds later, I heard my phone vibrate. It was a text. From Dre."
: : Text Messages : :
Dre: I was joking cutie *Kissing Emoji*
Me: Stop with the emojis.
Dre: Okay, okay.
Me: What do you want?
Dre: For you to let me come over.
Me: My child is home.
Dre: He up? At four in the morning?
Me: No. I just don't like men to be at my house when he's home.
Dre: Please Nia!? *Sobbing emoji*
Me: You just don't quit do you?
Dre: *Smiling emoji* Nope.
Me: .. Fine.
: : Text Messages End : :
I sent Dre my address and he was literally at my house in twenty minutes. He better keep his hands to himself or he'll be gone just as quick as he came.
: : Dre's p.o.v : :
"I knocked on the front of Nia's door. I was scared of how anxious I was to see her at FOUR IN THE MORNING. I mean, I was surprised that she answered the phone when I called. When I was about to turn around and get back in my car, Nia answered the door. She was wearing a Nirvana tie-dye shirt and a pair of red boy shorts with her hair down and no make-up on. Honestly, she was more beautiful this way then when she was at work."
Me: *Eyes widen* Hey.
Nia: Hey?
Me: *sizing Nia*
Nia: *Raises an eyebrow* You okay?
"Sh*t, now I am!"
Me: Yeah, I'm straight. Can I come inside?
Nia: *Nods and opens the door all the way* Come on in.
Me: *Walks in and shuts the door* Nice house.
"Her house really was nice, and it smelled nice too. For it to be an apartment, she really takes care of it."
Nia: Thanks. *Sits on the couch* So?
Me: *Sits down also* I'm sorry to be bothering you this late.
Nia: *Shrugs* It was either you or Marcus.
Me: *Raises an eyebrow* Is that your lil boy?
Nia: Yup. *nods* That's my baby. *Smiles*
"God this girl is beautiful. I can't. I won't let myself catch feeling for her. But I mean, who wouldn't?"
Me: Can I see him?
Nia: *Eyes widen* Um, I mean-gco-
Me: It's okay if you don't want me to, I don't mean to intrude. I'm -gco-
Nia: *Stands up* No, no, sure, uh... why not?
Me: *Stands up also* You sure?
Nia: Yeah. Come on.
"Nia started to take us through the hallway where the bedrooms were. Marcus's seemed to be fairly close to the back of the apartment. And it wasn't a small apartment either. We walked inside, and I was invited into a jungle oasis. That was the theme anyways. His bed was shaped like a lion, and he was tucked into his jungle themed comforter set. She bent over and kissed his forehead, and then stroked his head lightly right before turning around and looking me unexpectedly in my eyes. Nothing but silence fell over the room."
Nia: *Looks down* Well. That's my little price.
Me: *Chuckles* Is there a king?
Nia: *Looks at me and slightly smiles* Not in this castle.
"Me and Nia went back to the living room and talked about, well pretty much everything and nothing at the same time, basically whatever came to mind. She smiled and laughed a lot. And when she did, it was absolutely adorable.
: : Nia's p.o.v : :
Well. I guess Dre isn't the dog I labeled him as. He's actually pretty nice to talk to. We talked literally until like 7am. It was fun. I really had a good time talking to him.

Okay. If this was too short, let me know. If you liked it, let me know. If you didn't like it, let me know.
