Kimberly walked into her apartment and sighed when she saw that it was cleaner than it ever was. It's never been this clean actually. She normally wouldn't mind, but she did because she knew who did it. "Dena?"she called as she walked in.

"Hey"Adena said to her as she popped her head out of the kitchen,"I'm making dinner. I invited Missy over too if you don't mind, she should be here soon."

Kimberly looked at the huge meal being made before her. It was like it was a small version of Thanksgiving. "Dena you didn't have to-"

"But I do. I was at work all day and I did some overtime mind you, and it hit me. I thought to myself. I want some of my homemade ziti with all the works and now I can"Adena said to her,"Oh and don't worry. I know I used most of your appliances and utensils but they will be spotless when I'm done."

"Adena, you need some rest. You aren't tired? The last thing you need to be doing is working overtime, being a clean freak and cooking 4 course dinners"Kimberly said to her. She was worried that she was so worried about her. She tried to take Missy's advice and let Adena get her frustration out her way but the way she did it was exhausting, it was exhausting just to watch. And she could see how tired she was but she wasn't going to say that out loud,"You need to slow down a little, breathe"she said to her. That was the most sugary coated way she could find to say that she looked like she was ready to collapse.

After Taye revealed the news, Adena didn't go back to the apartment or back to Dr. Osbourne. After what Adena told them at Fever, Kimberly offered her to stay and she could stay as long as she needed. Now she wonders if she made a mistake. It's only Friday and she's only been here 48 hours but she never saw Adena, she was always at work or asleep. And when she did see her, she was cleaning the whole apartment and cooking. Just yesterday Adena made a homemade cheesecake, stuffed turkey and cleaned both bathrooms until they were spotless. She felt like she was turning her best friend into her cook and maid.

"I don't need to breathe. I'm fine"Adena assured her quickly. If Kim wasn't so caught up in how Adena was, she would have laughed at how her answer made no sense at all. "Now change out of your work clothes. You need to relax and don't worry, you can leave everything up to me"she said as a bell rang. Kimberly looked around in confusion, she didn't even know that she had a timer in this place. Adena rushed and opened the oven and checked the ziti. Kimberly gave up and walked to her bedroom but stopped when she saw a plastic bag on her bed. It had toiletries and two new packs of panties and a couple new bras.

"Adena, this plastic bag is yours?"she called out to her.

"Oh my bad"Adena said as she rushed in. I meant to put some of this stuff in your bathroom-"

"Why did you buy all new stuff? You could've just went home-"

"I'm not going back there. Why would I do that?"Adena said, not looking at her as she put her things on the sink in her bathroom.
