Unexpected Arrival

Reality Check

Daniel's POV

I stood in the mirror checking out my clothes before I got in my car. I wore a black hoodie with some regular dark blue jeans and my Blue Gamma 11's.

Today was my ex-girlfriend's birthday. Now I know what your're thinking, why do I care about my ex and her birthday? Ex's are ex's for a reason right? Well you're wrong. 😒

The things that I've done and put her through were some of the worst mistakes I had ever made. She knew me before I started my rap career and before I was noticed by anybody.

She's been my Day 1 since forever, until now. I literally lost the best girl I'll probably ever get, next to my mom of course. Alicia Monique Jackson is my heart and soul. 😍❤🙏
And today I just had to show my face again. Just so she knows how I really feel. And if she doesn't feel the same way, she won't ever have to deal with me again. 😪
I wrote my Mom a note saying if she needed me to just call and that I'd be back later. I hopped in my Charger and drove off to Alicia's house.

*Alicia's House*

I sat in my car for a few minutes. It was an early beautiful Saturday morning. I looked at my watch which read 10:30 A.M. I know she likes to sleep in on her birthday. 😌I sighed as I sat back in the seat. What did I do to deserve such an amazing girl like her in my life? God must be watching me now thinking I'm just pitiful. But I can't stop now. Here goes nothing. 😪🙊😔
I hope out the car and walk up the front steps. Each step I take, my heart pounds faster and more and more memories flood in my brain.
Alicia and I have been tight since the second grade. This guy named Andrew tried to pour sand in her hair and I punched him in the stomach before he dumped the bucket over. Sand spilled all down her shirt but she thanked me anyway. And we just kept talking and ended up becoming like brother and sister. 👫
Now I have to set things right. I sigh one last time and ring the doorbell.

" I Got It," I hear a female voice say. I know that voice all too well. But before I can turn away, Alicia swings the door open and her smile fades away. I scratch the back of my neck and stare at her. I haven't seen her in two years. Her beauty has enhanced by 500 percent. And that body? Lawd have mercy on my soul for the thoughts that I have right now are sins. 😍😳🙏

" What The Hell Are You Doing Here," She screams. Well that's not entirely what I expected. That was a major slap in the face. Suddenly Angelo, her brother, appears at the door right next to her. This dude used to be my right-hand man. Me and him were like brothers for real. He sighed, looked me up and down, then walked away.

" Umm, Alicia... I Was Wonder-," she cut me off with a slap to the face. For real this time. I held my hand up to my left check. I looked at her and she had tears about to fall from her eyes.

" What The Hell Alicia,?!"😒😑

" What The Hell Alicia?! What The Hell Daniel Is The Question! Why Are You Here? What Do You Want From Me!? Can't You See That You've Already Hurt Me Enough? I Thought I Made That Clear The Last Time I Saw You," she spat bitterly closing the door behind her. We stood on the porch staring each other down.

" I Want To Talk Alicia," I said calmly. She sighed, wiped her eyes, and we sat down on the steps. She stared off down the street as I thought of what to say.
