I was sitting on the couch when I heard feet shuffling from the hall. I looked back and saw Virginia.
"Morning." I said. She smiled and walked over to me.
"Can Leo take me home?" She asked. I raised my eyebrow.
"Nebraska?" I asked confused. She shook her head.
"I have an apartment here." She said. I nodded in understanding.
"Yeah, he can." I said. She nodded and then we started watching the rest of Cutthroat Kitchen.
After the episode ended she got up and grabbed her heels. Then her phone buzzed.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh. My. God." She said. I laughed and looked at her.
"You good?" I asked her still laughing. She ran towards me and I looked at her phone.
"My friend Tariq. He's coming here to visit me." She said. I raised my eyebrow and looked at her.
"He's a good guy dad." She said. I raised both eyebrows this time. She shook her head.
"Trust me, I've known him since birth. Mom and his mom were friends." She stated while I nodded.
"I wanna meet him." I said. She nodded and kissed my cheek.
"See you later. Love you!" She yelled while walking out the door. I dialed Leo's number.
"Hey, she's ready to leave." I said.
Virginia
After I left Michael's, I couldn't stop texting Tariq. He's been my best friend forever and he's like the best person to have around. Also, he's sexy and I may have a crush on him.

I facetimed him knowing he isn't busy on Saturdays.
"Start explaining shawty." He said. I giggled.
"So last night I went on a 'date' I don't whatever you wanna call it and the guy I was on a date with was the clinic doctor who did the DNA test." I stated. Tariq looked at me like a crazy person.
"How old was he?" He asked. I shrugged.
"2-27? I don't know." I said forgetting. Tariq laughed.
"Dumbass." He said. I flipped him off and then continued.
"So, I saw one of the bodyguards from afar and then the guy was touching my thigh like a perv. So, I moved his hand and said stop. He didn't so I moved it again. And he pinned both my wrist down and then one bodyguard grabbed the guy and then the other one took me to the SUV." I said. He nodded.
"What did what's his face say?" He asked.
"He texted me pissed off then when I got to his house he saw me crying and didn't say anything." I said. Tariq nodded again.
"Well, ya boy moving out thea' and no pervert finna touch you like that while I'm there." He said. My eyes went wide.
"What did you just say?" I asked making sure my hearing was right. He smiled like a dumbass.
"I said I'm moving out thea'." He repeated. I smiled in disbelief.
"You lyin'." I said with a smile. He shook his head.
"Shawty, I'm dead ass." I smiled.

Michael
"Khaled, I don't know if I should trust this boy that is coming to see Virginia." I stated while sitting on my couch and Khaled sitting across from me.
"Man, she'a be just fine. Make Leo look out for her, or get her, her own bodyguard." He said. I nodded and shrugged.
"But, it's my only daughter and my only child." I said. He nodded and took a sip of his drink.
"Just meet him, and if you'n like him then you'n like him." He explained. I nodded and took a sip of my drink.
