On the last day that Julissa stayed at your place she wanted to make you guys dinner so she made your fave, as she cooked you took a shower and put on some comfortable pajamas. You walked into to kitchen to see that Julissa was almost done so you help her with the last of the preparations. You made your plate and sat on the couch, trying to find something to watch you two settled for Love and Basketball. During the movie you got a text from Dominic.

"Hey it's Dom just wanted to know if we're still on for dinner."

"Fuck!" You whispered to yourself. "What's wrong?" Julissa says sitting up looking at you. "Nothing." You day hoping she doesn't bother asking more questions. Thinking of what to say you finally reply.

"Yeah! We're still on!"

Dom: "Great! Is this Friday okay?"

"Friday is perfect!"

Dom: "Perfect see you Friday at 8!"

"See you then."

"Who are you texting?" Julissa asks looking at you. "It betta not be Erik's punk ass." She continues still glaring at you. "No. Fuck no it's not him." You say still looking at your phone. "Then who is it?" She questions. "It's just a guy I met the other day." You say. Julissa gives you a look that you know all too well which meant she wanted you to tell her everything which you did. After telling her everything about the night you met Dom and showed her the texts she felt proud that you were starting to forget about Erik.

Getting ready for you date with Dom you realized that he didn't know which apartment you were in so you shot him a quick text to let him know your apartment number. Since you couldn't find anything to wear you spent most of your day shopping for something. You bought a red, silk form fitting dress. Time passes as you're fixing your hair and touching up your make up. You hear a knock at your door and open the door to see Dominic looking good as fuck in a in a burgundy suit. You greeted each other as you ran to get your purse and walk out the door.

At dinner Dom told you everything about himself where her was from why he moved to New York most of his life story basically. And you did the same but he suddenly asked "Why did your last relationship end?" When he said that you wondered if you should lie or tell the truth you figured lying wasn't gonna really help anything especially if you and Dominic continued seeing each other. So you told him EVERYTHING about your relationship with Erik, your break up and everything that followed.

Four and a half years later

Rushing out of your office and on your way to the parking garage your phone starts to ring. "I know I'm sorry my meeting was longer than I expected but I'm on my way now okay. I should be there in about 15 minutes." You say getting into your Range Rover. "I'm leaving now, see you in a little bit." You say getting ready to drive off. While you were busy on the phone you didn't notice that you were being watched a few cars away by the one and only Erik Stevens. He watched as you rushed to your car talking on the phone. He figured you were talking to a boyfriend or something based on what little he heard of your conversation. As he followed you to your destination he couldn't help but think of how amazing you looked. Everything from your curls to your brown skin which looked like it was glowing.

He contemplated whether or not to approach you once you got to where you were going or to just sit and watch you be with another man. But he decided to see where you were headed first before he made his decision. A few minutes later you pull over and head into a building. Erik notices that the building that you walked into was a bakery. "Thank you for staying open for me I really appreciate it!" You say to Julissa's Sister-In-Law Dani. "Don't worry about it Y/N I know how busy you are plus you're basically family." Dani says as she hugs you tightly. Erik watched as you paid for what looked like a cake and place it in the back of your truck.

Still following you Erik considered just driving away but seeing you again after all these years wouldn't let him he needed to see how you were doing since he left. Erik followed you around for a couple more minutes until you stopped at another building. It looked like an apartment building so he figured it might be where you lived. He watched as you talk to the doorman and once you were inside rushed to follow you in. Erik settled for sitting in the lobby to see if you'd come back down, he figured since you didn't take the cake that you didn't live there. After about 20 minutes he figured he'd go outside to wait for you to come out.

As Erik stood watching the busy streets on New York he heard what sounded like children playing in the lobby. Suddenly he felt a little push on the back of his legs, being that Erik is nothing but fucking muscle he turned to see a little girl getting up after falling over. And another little girl looking scared out her mind and running back inside. "Hi cutie! You good?" He says kneeling down to look at her. "Yeah" she says shyly. "What's your name?" He asks. "Angel." She says looking down at the ground. As the doorman got ready to take Angel back inside. You came running out the building you to apologize until you look up and see Erik with your daughter. Shocked and pissed off you run over to your daughter Angel and tell her to walk to the car as you followed her. "Y/N can we just talk?? Please?" Erik says practically begging. "Leave me alone Erik!" You say trying not to make a scene in front of your daughter. "Y/N come on!" He says grabbing your arm. "STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME STEVENS." You say as you pull away from him.

He watches as you put Angel in the truck and drive off. On your way home you get a call from your husband. "Hey baby I just landed so I should be home shortly." He says as you hear the noise of the busy airport in the background. "Okay see you when you get home." You say distracted by wait just happened just a couple minutes ago. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" Angel says loudly. "Thank you baby girl!" He say. "Happy birthday baby I'll see you when you get home." You say focusing on the road. "I love you!" He says. "I love you too." You say before hanging up. The rest of the drive home all you could think about was Erik you were proud of yourself for keeping it cool because lord knows what would've happened. You were pissed but somewhat happy about seeing. Pissed because he pops up like nothing happened but happy to know he was okay. But you still wanted nothing to do with him "Fuck him." You say to yourself.
