Niques P.O.V
I was sitting at a table all alone at the table waiting for khalil. He said exactly 3:00 and hasnt shown. Im wasting my time. Ive been waiting for 2 hours, and im not waiting anymore. I grabbed my clutch and scooted out of the booth when a mysteriously perky paige approaches me.
Me: oh hi paige...
Paige: hey 👋😊
Me: what're you doing here?? *confused*
Paige: oh im here with some colleagues on a lunch break. Why are you here *smirking secretly*
Me: oh i was waiting for someone.. *looks down sadly* but *looks up* they didnt show so-
Paige: awww sorry to here that. *puts a hand on niques shoulder* well bye. *shoves her away and smiles*
Me: *stumbles a little and rolls eyes* ugh.
I walked out of the restaurant furiously. Khalil said exactly 3:00 and it was just a coincidence that his wife shows up at the same time he said to meet.. That was just too awkward.. I hopped in my car and put the key in the ignition and drove back to my house.
Paige P.O.V
Ha. My plan worked. There was just no way i was going to let khalil go to lunch with zonnique. Shes tried many things before to get khalil back but khalil is mine now. And nique is never getting him back. I walked out of the restaurant as i saw khalils car pulling up into the parking lot. I ran and hid behind a trash can hiding myself. He got out of his car and jogged to the door and ran inside and anxiously looked around. I knew what he was looking for. Zonnique. 😒😒
Khalil P.O.V
I ran in the restaurant and looked for nique. I looked in my phone and just saw it said meet her at three o' clock. I didnt see her anywhere, i rushed to the cash register.
Me: have you seen a girl about ye-high with blonde hair and brown roots? With a nose piercing? *looks at him*
Man: um yes sir.. She just left.
Me: *hits the counter and puts my hands on my face and looks at the man* well thanks anyway bro.
Man: no problem.
Me: *walks out the door and sees paige running to her car* paige?! *i yell across the parking lot*
She stops when shes just about to grab her car door handle and turns towards me and flashes an innocent smile.
I make my way over towards her.
Me: what're you doing here?
Paige: oh just getting an early lunch.. *puts her keys to her head while running a hand through her hair*
Me: oh.
Paige: why were you here?
I didnt want to tell paige why i was here. She gets crazy jealous because i spend time with zonnique. But weve been tight since day one.. And i cant change that.
**FLASHBACK**
Khalil as a kid: hey nique. *sits next to her on the jungle Jim*

Burtleby: HEY THOSE ARE MINE!!

Burtleby: khalil snatches my ring pops! *crosses arms*
Khalil: i only did it because i wanted to be a good pretend husband!!!

**FLASH BACK ENDS**
I smile to myself while looking up inside the sky.

Khalil: huh- what?! Oh. Paige your still here?
Paige: yes i am. *crosses arms* answer my question now.
