           Tiffany's POV

"Thank you," I smiled and took the platter from Dontae's hand. I must have been sleeping mighty good that I didn't even feel him get out of bed. He had went all out his way with this breakfast, there was some cheese grits, bacon, toast, sausage links, buttermilk biscuits and eggs and apple juice on the side.

Once I begin eating,I couldn't contain myself. My taste buds were over joyed with all this food. No one has ever cooked me breakfast in bed and I thought that was pretty special. Dontae came back in smiling and looking at me like he had something to say. Sipping on the last of my juice, I wiped my hands on the paper towel and handed him the platter.

"Did you enjoy everything?" He asked.

"Yes, it was all delightful".

" I have good news, there is a one bedroom apartment I found but I want you to see it and get your opinion on it. The price is fairly reasonable and it looks nice and cozy for just the two of us, " Dontae explained. Shifting from one foot to the other, I decided he must have been waiting on me to respond.

"OK, well let me get up and put some clothes on and we can leave," I said scratching my head.

                 Jerome's POV

Days been going by so slow, I feel like I miss Tiffany everyday. Nivea is the total opposite of her, all she ever wanna do is spend a nigga money. Always shopping like she gotta keep up with everything that's trending. I didn't really miss the whale until my water ran dry, now I'm living with regret.

Nivea just walked in with a handful of bags. "Hey boo," she said. Nodding at her, I look at the bags waiting to see what she got this time.

"Don't worry, it was all on sale," Nivea said setting the bags on the bed. She been on that phone a lot lately, I hadn't checked it this past week. I'm gone get around to it once the opportunity presents itself. She taking her new clothes and accessories out now and putting it all up. "Where's my debit card?" I asked holding my hand out.

"Here, I don't think anything is left on it, because when I tried to get a pair of sandals the lady said the card was declined," she said handing me the card and kicking her shoes off. Now I know this girl ain't maxed my card out, bitch gone get kicked out if she did.

Pulling my phone out, I called my card's toll free number and waited. Entered my card digits, then the last three numbers on the back and waited to hear my balance. The second I heard it say I had a $0 balance I was thirty eight hot. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath. Nivea was in the bathroom and it sounded like she was taking a shower.

This is my opportunity, so I walked over to the bed and picked her phone up. "Fuck!" She done locked a nigga out, well I'll try simple stuff first. I tried  1234, next 4321, I only had one try left or I'd be locked out for thirty seconds. The only other four numbers that came to mind was her birth year. I quickly typed that in and the phone unlocked.

Pictures were the first thing I went to and I felt disgusted when I saw a nigga posing like he was in playboy magazine. Sliding over, there was another picture that made me wish I was blind at that moment. A picture showing another nigga dick like who the fuck does that shit anymore. I post that shit and expose the punk ass nigga, but it ain't that type of playing field im on right now.

Clicking out of that, I go to messages and there are 556 message between her and some nigga name Will. Curiously, I open the thread and scroll through the messages. They talking like they together. What the fuck he mean last night was good he wanna nother ride. Oh hell nah, wait until this bitch get out the shower I'm gone give her something she never forgets. The shower stopped running and place her phone in my back pocket and I'm gone stand up here and wait until she step foot back in this room.

We pulled up to the apartment and  the tenant was standing outside waiting on us as we arrived. Stepping out, we greeted her with a smile and a handshake. Following her lead, she showed us the pool first. Explaining the pool in square feet and inches and the metal bars for child safety. It was pretty nice and the water was very blue and clean. Also, she let us know about it getting cleaned and filtered every other day.

Walking up the stairs to the apartment, she pulled the keys out and opened the door. The kitchenette was small, but inside the apartment was pretty big for a one bedroom. The closet had enough room for all our clothes together.The bathroom was big with two parts, the first area with the sink and when you open the other door inside is a tub and shower along with a toilet. The floor was hardwood and there was a balcony through the glass sliding doors. The view was amazing overlooking the whole city.

"I love it, how much are you asking for a month?" Tiffany asked.

"$350, you can't get any better than that," she smiled.

Tiffany and I talked things over for a moment, until we came to a conclusion. "Whenever your ready, just take your time," The lady said. Walking back over to her, we let her know we have made our decision.

"We'll take it," I said. She was pleased to hear that. Shaking both of our hands once again, she let us know that we have to put a $150 down payment before we can move in. A couple days later, the water and electricity should be on. Everything was going great, so I took my girl out for icecream at coney island.

"What flavor would you like?" The cashier asked.

Tiffany order cookies and cream while ordered banana split. Sitting down at a table on the far side, we ate our icecream and talked about our new place. I could tell Tiffany really loved this step we were taking together and it made me feel awesome to make her happy. That smile on her face makes me wanna put in overtime and give her the world, or at least everything she set her eyes on.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tiffany asked pulling her spoon out of her mouth.

"Its just something how just a month ago you were all down in the dump, now you have this big smile on your face. It makes me happy to call you my girlfriend," I smiled. She looked at me with a lopsided grin like she had something to say. "What?" I asked.

"Correction! Your fianće," she smiled.

"You right baby, and don't forget it! She dipped her spoon in my icecream and tried mine. Apparently she must have liked it, because she ate the rest of it. All I could do was smile at her and shake my head. She eating like this now, yet she already know this icecream gone have her stomache hurting later. Its all good though, because I'll be right there to rub it for her.
