"I missed you too, but we will never get back to us. I'm sorry."
"I understand. I just-"
"Daveed?," you knocked, peeking in the room.
"Hi," he said to you in the doorway, with a face of relief. "Um, Vanessa, this is my girlfriend, Y/N."
"Girlfriend?," she asks.
"Hey, nice to meet you," you put your hand out.
"Nice to meet you," she cheesed.
"Why didn't you tell me your birthday was tomorrow?," you say to your man, crossing your arms.
"I was planning on it, but it's not that important to me," he shrugged.
"Happy birthday," Vanessa says trying to chime in to the two-person conversation.
"And your having a party? I had to hear all of this from Lele and then she took ten minutes to gloat about how she knows more about you than I do," you chuckle.
"I'm sorry," he said, caressing your waist, pecking your forehead.
"Vanessa, I'm on break. You wanna get something to eat?," Lele enters.
"Yeah. Let me just-"
"Wait", Daveed interrupts, " we haven't even started recording yet. You just got here."
"Exactly. I just got here. I need to go see what I've missed in this amazing city. Besides, we have enough time. I'm not going anywhere. By the way, this is for you," she said, handing him a small box with a bow on it.
Daveed could tell that Vanessa felt uncomfortable sitting next to Daveed while he is with you. He knew that she missed him but, he didn't feel the same way. He hoped that he was the only one to notic-
"What was that?," you asked.
"What was what?" Daveed couldn't let you know about his past. He thought, "What would happen if she found out about how I used to be?"
"Did I do something?," you ask.
"No! No, it's not you. We just...have history," he muttered. "Come on."
"Where are we going?"
"Rafa found a location but, he's having girl problems so he asked to go claim it," he said, gesturing his hand to help you up.
"Okay."
"Go get in the car. I'll meet you there," he said.
Daveed took that time to open te small box that Vanessa gave him. It was a plastic watch that had octopuses all over it. He smiled.
Daveed finally cam out and got in the car and the two of you were on your way. You couldn't stop thinking about what Daveed meant by "history". Did they date? Were they serious? You quickly realized their was no time for thinking. You're with Daveed now. Whatever happened is in the past. But...
