money, money on my mind
throw it up, throw it up
watch it fall out from the sky"

"I have an idea," Naila said to me as my head snapped in her direction. I know we were both grown adults and what happened last weekend shouldn't have been that big of a deal, the awkwardness between us definitely still lingered. I had been back at my own house since last Sunday and today was the day that Naila finally decided to invite me back over. I missed her dearly and I knew she was exhausted from work, so hopefully whatever she had in mind could take her mind off of what's been happening at the office.

"And that is?"

"I wanna go to a strip club. I haven't been to one since I was in college and it'll be fun for us, don't you think?"

"You sure you won't get too mad about your man eyeing a bunch of either half or fully naked women?"

"I trust you enough to believe you won't try anything, especially with me being right there." She said to me with a small laugh.

"When you trying to go?"

"At like...11. It's still early so if you wanna do anything before we go that's not an issue."

"Okayyyy," I said whining childishly as I dragged my feet over to where she was. Laying down next to her on the couch and setting my head on her lap, I looked up at her smiling face as she played around with my curls. I found this to be the most comfortable position to be in around Naila, and God have I missed her. Knowing that this woman, my woman, loved me was an indescribable feeling. I don't know if she'll ever feel the way that I feel, but knowing that she loves me even just a little bit is honestly enough to last me a lifetime.

I think she had been aimlessly playing in my hair for about 5 minutes before either of us said anything because the silence was simply peaceful. Finally Naila spoke up after giving a frustrated sigh saying, "Work was really a bitch this week, babe!"

"It was for me as well! Planning this tour is much harder than it was last time because we're going to Europe and Asia as well this time. I haven't been on a non-North American tour is so long so I'm stressed, babe."

"Hmm.." was all she replied with and didn't say anything else for a good five minutes. I had neglected to share with her when I first invited her on this tour that we were going international, and suddenly a wave of guilt washed over me as I raised my head up from her lap and took her small hands in mine. She had her face turned away from me so I wasn't able to see the expression on her face, but I could only imagine it wasn't a good one.

"Nai, look at me! Please!"

She detached her hands from mine as she fiddled with the necklace I had given her for her birthday. Her expression was quite unreadable and inconclusive but at the same time was undeniably sexy, but now was not the time for that considering the circumstances that are causing us to have this conversation.
