Nia was asleep and Roscoe was reeling from some recent news he had received.

Stancey Gold wanted him on his tour, for the entire month of October. Which would be a month-long, without Nia. He was happy for the opportunity but he didn't want to be away from Nia for an entire month.

Nia stirred in her sleep making Roscoe's heart drop. He didn't have the heart to tell her now. It would hurt her. But he knew she'd understand.

Nia got up and went straight to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and washed her face.

"Why you look like that? What's wrong?". She asked coming out of the bathroom.

"We gotta talk baby girl". He sighed.

"Hol up we not breaking up are we?". Nia frowned.

"Nah nah nah. I got a call back from Stancey manager". He stood up and pulled her toward him.

"Ok? What did he say?". Nia questioned.

"Stancey wants me on the whole tour. It's gonna be next month". He spoke.

"Aww babe that's great! So why you look all sad and down". Nia kissed his lips.

"Cause man. The tour a month long". He let out.

Her face dropped and he could see she was disheartened.

Nia didn't even know what to say. Being without Roscoe for a month? The longest she's gone without contact is like a day not even counting the night.

Nia pulled away from him and sat on the bed.

"What chu thinking?". Roscoe went over to her.

"I don't know. I want chu to take the opportunity but I know it's gonna be a long time before I see you again". Nia sighed.

"I know bae. That's why I told him I would think about it". He rubbed her thigh.

"I don't want chu missing out on my behalf babe. I want chu to take the job". Nia huffed.

"You sure? If you want me to stay I'll stay. No questions asked". He asked.

"I want chu to go and make me proud. Plus this'll get your name out there. So I gotta get used to you coming and going". Nia hugged him.

"Alright. I'mma call Stancey later but for now we gonna make breakfast together and eat together to make up for the time we boutta lose". He smiled picking her bridal style.

"Babe we got the rest of this month to make up for the time we gonna lose. But ok". Nia rolled her eyes.

After breakfast Nia put on her clothes because she had to meet Angel, Delaney, and Jaziah to talk more about their project. Plus, Jaziah wanted the tea about the party.

"Babe I'm bout to go". Nia came into the living room, keys in hand.

"Alright. Text me when you on yo way back". He got up and kissed her cheek.

She left the house headed for Angel and Delaney's dorm room.

12:47 PM

Nia was back on campus and she had to walk to Angel and Delaney's. She was so excited to catch up with them.

She got to their dorm and knocked on the door. Delaney opened the door and hugged Nia.

"Hey, girl. What's going on?". She greeted, letting Nia in.

She walked in and Jaziah was on the couch and Angel was on the top bunk of the bunk bed.

"Hey bih". Angel hopped down and hugged Nia.

"Hey y'all". Nia smiled.

"Girl so what's been going on? I heard you and yo homies got into after the party?". Angel hinted.

"Ugh, that?! Girl, they were mad because we was in the room and they couldn't get in. Talking bout I got y'all in but not them. So that was a whole issue so I just ended up moving in with my boyfriend". Nia rolled her eyes at the end.

"Damn. That's tew much". Delaney shook her head.

"Deadass. Now Roscoe bout to leave and go on tour for a month. Y'all I'm bout to be all alone". Nia laid her head on Angel's shoulder.

"Awww NiaBia. You're not gonna be all alone. You got us. Plus, if you ever get lonely at boo thang's apartment you can always come and stay here". Angel hugged her.

"Y'all are too good to me. But what's up with the project? Got any ideas?". Nia changed the subject.

"Actually yes. We came up with a name. How about HVNSNT. Its Heaven Sent without the vowels". Angel showed Nia the sketches she came up with.

"Yaas this cute. Ok, Delaney, you said you know a T-shirt connect?". Nia questioned.

"Yep. Already got the invoices for you to start the marketing write up". Delaney handed her all the paperwork.

"Yaass this project is coming together". Nia smiled.

Nia was so happy that this was all working out, she had made new friends and this project was going great. What could possibly go wrong?
