After an intense love making session that lasted over two hours, the two finally made it back on the private plane to head back to Miami. All of the worry that Lisa had dissipated and she was truly happy. Never did she think she would be ready to be in a relationship. All it took was that one special person to change her mind. On the plane ride home, the two were able to get to know each other better. Lisa asked about Derrick's parents, which she found out he lost them both when he was little kid living in New York and ended up in foster care. Luckily for him, he was adopted by a good couple, who were not able to have their own children, so they treated Derrick as though he was their biological child. He ended up moving to Georgia with them. Lisa asked Derrick what he did for a living, which he stated he was into private businesses, but he was very vague in giving any additional information. Lisa did not want to continue to question him about his career, she just figured when he was ready to discuss it, he would tell her. Derrick asked Lisa about how she came into business for herself, which Lisa told him she took out a loan to get everything started. She left out the fact that the loan was really money that her dad left for her to retrieve when she turned 21. The two finally arrived back in their city and Derrick took Lisa home. 

'I really enjoyed myself this weekend Derrick. I have never been to Bora Bora but I do know that you can't stop what you have started.' She stated with a laugh.

'Honestly ma, I've never done any of this with any other woman. I can tell ya' that I don't plan on stopping anything that you are involved in.'

Derrick's phone rang and he stated that he needed to go to handle some business, but he would call her later that day and if she needed anything to hit him up. They kissed and parted ways.

Lisa enjoyed the weekend, but she was also happy to be back in her own home and city. She looked forward to what would come out of her and Derrick being an item. Lisa called Monica as she unpacked her bags to see what she had planned. The two agreed to meet at Monica's house that evening for Sunday dinner. Every now and then, the two like to switch up and cook a traditional Sunday dinner opposed to going out. 

Monica moved to Miami from Chicago, which is where her family members still reside. She tried her hardest to get her parents to move out to Miami with her considering she had plenty of room for them, but they refused. No matter the amount of crime in their city, they stated that Chicago was their home and they wanted to stay. Monica could never understand, because Chicago was her home as well, but she yearned for much more. 

To kill time until Sunday dinner, Lisa unpacked her belongings, checked her messages, which she hasn't done since Thursday evening. She noted that they were some prospect clients that wanted to meet with her to discuss future business, looking to expand through internet sales/marketing. Lisa planned to give them a call first thing Monday morning. She needed to see some numbers on the possibility of selling items over the internet. She had messages from Bryce inquiring about her trip first, then office issues which needed immediate attention. Lastly, there was a message from her father.

'Princess, I know that you are upset with me, but just hear me out! I need to see you and I can explain everything. I am staying at the Provident Luxury Suites. Suite 405. Please stop by and see me. I wil be here until you come.  

Lisa could not believe that he was still insisting on speaking to her. In her mind, there was noting that he could possibly say that would change how she felt about him at that very moment. If her mom was still alive, then maybe. Lisa decided to delete the message. Everything was his fault. Her unhappiness, her mother's sadness and even her mother's death.

Lisa decided to leave home and go to the office to take her mind off of the message and her past. 

'Ms. McCloud? How are you doing this Sunday afternoon? I'm surprised to see you at the office.' stated Henry the security officer.
