Staying By Your Side (Based off the One Shot) A Diggy Simmons Love Story

Chapter 8

Diggy P.O.V

“Is that all of the furniture?” I asked.

“Yeah.” Christian replied. “So this our kick it spot or what?”

“Nah man. Plus I work so much now. I don’t think we can kick like we used to. Hint we moving in to brand new place at 9 something in the morning.”

“Man if you would have used a rubber none of this would be happening. I would be knocked out sleep right now. You would still be in your house, Lauren would be chillin’ and everything would be good.”

“I know but I didn’t so I have to face the consequences.” I started unpacking.

The van arrived and everyone started unloading off the truck and taking them out the boxes. We only have so much time before I have to go to work so everyone has to move quickly. By the time we finished it was 2:30pm. I had to be at work in 30 minutes.

“Christian drive me to work.” I took off my shirt.

“Alright man.” He waited in the living room.

Lauren P.O.V

The girls put the last of the food in the refrigerator. I was tired and worn out.

“Congrats on your apartment.” Sofia gave me a hug.

“Yeah, call us if you need anything.” Nicki informed.

“Call me.” Tasha smiled.

“Okay guys. Get home safely.” I closed the door and flopped on the couch.

I looked around the apartment and the one person who didn’t need to be here anymore was still here.

“Your girlfriend just left. Why you not leaving?” I asked.

“Taking Diggy to work.” He put his feet on the table.

“Get your feet off my coffee table.” I said sternly.

“My bad damn.” He removed his feet.

Diggy came out and kissed my cheek. Alright Christian let’s go. Christian got up and walked out.

“Babe you tired?” Diggy buttoned up his shirt.

“Yeah I’m about to take a nap. What time you get off work?” I looked at him fix himself up.

“7:00pm. I’ll be home by 7:30 or 7:15.” He put on his cap backwards.

He kissed me on the forehead.

“Get some rest okay.” He rubbed my arm.

“Wait you don’t want me to pack you some lunch?” I asked.  

“Nah I’m cool.”

“Okay.” I waited for him to close the door before finally going to sleep.

I woke up around 6pm and I felt dirty. I hopped into the shower to wash off all the dirt from today. When I got out, I looked myself in the mirror. I never thought I would be out on my own. I put on my pajamas and started dinner. I decided to make some chicken noodle soup. I let heat up and decided to sit out on the stoop. It was better at night. The streets were darkening. House lights were on and kids were getting called in for dinner.   I looked at the time on my phone. It was 7:08pm. Time was going by slow. I hummed a song softly and played with my nails until I heard someone coming. I looked up and saw Diggy walking towards the gate. I smiled as he opened the gate and walked towards me. I got up and jumped into his arms. He kissed me and carried me into the house.

“Mhmm is that soup I smell?” He put me down.

“Yeah Chicken Noodle served with a side of Ritz crackers.” I turned off the oven.
