I take out my phone and see that it's dead. I hope Mani got in ok. We drop Lauren and her girls for the night off, and then we make our way back to Escala.

"Hey, Taylor?"

"Yes,ma'am ?"

"Did Mani arrive yet?"

"Yes, Ms.Hansen, Sammy dropped her off about an hour ago."

"Thank you Taylor."

We arrive at Escala and I'm greeted by Sammy

"How was everything tonight?"

"Everything was fine ma'am. Although the boy you told me to watch out for, did show up. But, I believe Miss Hamilton interaction was very minimal. She left a little after midnight and I brought her back here."

"Thank you Sammy."

Sammy leaves and I make my way to my bedroom and see my girl cuddled up on her side. I get undressed and brush my teeth before climbing into bed with her. It's not long before I have her curled into my arms and pass out.

I awake the next morning and Mani isn't there. I look over and notice it's 9am.

Holy crap, I can't remember the last time I slept this late. Usually on the weekends Mani and I are awake by 7. But, I guess I did have a lot to drink last night.

I throw on some sweatpants, use the bathroom and go in search of my girl. I find her at the breakfast bar. I approach her and wrap my arms around her. She stiffens under my touch.

"What's wrong?" I ask her as I back away and sit down next to her.

"Did you have fun last night?" She asks me, handing me the paper.

I look down at the entertainment section and there I am with that girl outside the bar. Someone captured a picture of when she stumbled. She has her hands on my chest and the picture makes it looks so much worse than it ever was.

"This isn't what it looks like Normani . She tripped and I ended up catching her. That's all." She rolls her eyes.

"Well, what I see is you and your sister and two very attractive girls leaving a bar together. So is that what you did last night? You and your sister out trolling for girls? Explains why you weren't answering any of my texts."

"No, Mani I went to hang out with my sister . My brother just had other plans. Both of those girls went home with Lauren !"
