12:04 AM

Winterfest ended and Nia was now home. After getting home she charged her phone and got out of her dress. She packed for her trip and called the person she wanted to take.

"Hello?". Roscoe answered.

"Hey I know this short notice or whatever but I wanted to know if you wanted to spend the weekend with me at the Anza in Calabasas". Nia asked.

She knew her and Roscoe could only be just friends for now, but she did want to get to know him. 

"Nia it is midnight and you just now askin?". Roscoe groaned.

"Nigga you ain't even sleep you sound like you up at a party somewhere". Nia rolled her eyes.

"Whole up? Nia, the Anza is a hotel, I told you we just friends". Roscoe sighed.

"I know! I just need somebody to come and chill wit me at this hotel. I won it from being Icy Queen at the Winterfest. Now, please come". Nia really wanted him to come.

"What about cho nigga?". Roscoe questioned.

"Me and Trey is over, done wit, dead, deceased, extinct, no longa existing, like I'm over allat bullshit wit him". Nia was annoyed by the mention of his name.

"Alright. But if you open the door in a bra and G-string I'm leaving". He warned.

"Shut the fuck up and come on". Nia rolled her eyes.

"OK damn". He spoke.

Nia hung up and took her stuff downstairs.

"Ok, Mom I'm leaving". Nia walked into the living room.

"Ok. Call me when you make it to the hotel". Her Mom replied getting up.

She hugged Nia and kissed her forehead.

Nia took an Uber to the hotel.

Thirty-four minutes later Nia pulled up to the hotel.

She thanked the Uber driver and got out.

She went inside and the decor was beautiful. She went up to the front desk.

"Hello. Welcome to the Anza may I ask what name your reservation is under?". The lady smiled at Nia.

"Uhm, I have this voucher". Nia handed her the voucher.

"Ok, the room has a double king bed and a single bathroom. Here is your key and the key for your partner. Enjoy your stay". She smiled handing Nia the key.

Nia went toward the elevator and pressed the up button.

"Wassup Henny". Roscoe slid next to Nia.

"Hey DJ Scoe. What's poppin". Nia greeted him handing him the key.

"So you won Icy Queen huh?". He smirked.

"Yes". Nia knew he was about to say something stupid.

"Is that cause you so Icy?". He smirked.

Nia couldn't even laugh that joke was so corny.

"Bye Roscoe". Nia rolled her eyes.

They made it on the third floor and got off the elevator and walked toward the room number that matched the one on their keys. Nia unlocked the door and the room was well decorated. The first thing that stood out was the beds, they looked so soft. There was a big flat screen hanging on the wall and a mini fridge in the corner of the room by the window which was across from the door. Nia went toward the window and had a nice view of the pool.

"Damn, I wish I went to yo school if they paid for all this". Roscoe commented.

"I mean it's nice but I'm ready to graduate". Nia put her phone on the charger and texted her Mom telling her she made it.

"I'm not gon lie college is way better than high school but I feel like it takes a while for you to fully become independent and not have to ask for stuff from yo parents". Roscoe commented.

"I feel you. But I know once I get on my feet I'll love it. Plus my Moms will try and help me any way she can". Nia replied as she yawned.

"Speaking of which why you ain't ask yo Moms to come wit chu on this trip?". Roscoe questioned.

"I did and she said I need to hang out with people my own age. Boston and Jameer boo'd up, Anaya thinks shit like this is boujee, and you all I got". Nia explained.

"So I was yo last pick?". He asked semi hurt.

"Not last pick by my choice just last pick under the circumstances. Plus you gave me hell when I asked you to come". Nia smiled.

"Cause I ain't know what the fuck you was on. It was midnight and you calling so I can come to hotel wit chu? Don't that sound a lil bit sus to you?". He reasoned.

"It does. But this weekend is strictly friends trying to get to know each other". Nia let him know from the jump.

"And how do Trey feel bout dis? I would hate to have to sleep him again". He smirked.

"Trey is a non factor". Nia replied simply.

She was so over Trey at this point. Claiming he wanted to be friends and work on their relationship, but then he turns around and stands her up.

"Damn what happened?". Roscoe asked wanting to know how Trey fucked up this time.

"He stood me up at the Winterfest". Nia replied simply.

"Damn that's green as fuck". Roscoe shook his head.

"It's fine. I'm not gon cry over nobody who have the audacity to even think about standing me up. I'm too good looking and too good of a girl. Period". Nia spat.

"Ok City Girl calm down". Roscoe joked.

"Shut  up". Nia giggled.

Slowly they both dozed off into the conversation.
