"Oh, shut up." I smiled, getting off of him and out of the bed completely.
"I'm serious." He went on as I pushed my hair up into a ponytail, looking over at the time.
"Where you goin'?" He asked sternly, watching my every move.
"Oh yeah, babe. I forgot to tell you.." I looked back at him, already knowing he was about to blow up once I told him this but I had to.
"I have to be home early for a dinner my mother is having. I was only coming over for a few because I missed you and I needed to see you but I can't stay."
Connor's family was coming over for dinner tonight and I had no other choice but to be there. My mother was literally forcing me to be with Connor.
"What?" Dom asked, narrowing his eyes at me as he sat up from the bed.
"What is you saying to me, T? I asked you yesterday if we was gon' spend time together today and you told me yes."
"No mention of this dinner."
"It's because it was last minute, babe." I continued to lie, feeling ashamed every second of it.
"So you tell me now?" He scoffed, shaking his head.
"I ain't really get the chance to talk to you at all yesterday after you left and I let that shit slide, now you telling me you can't spend time with me?" He asked obviously fed up but I couldn't even be mad at him because so was I.
I just wanted to be with him and him only.
"Babe, I'm trying to make this work but she's been on my back a lot these days."
"I'm really trying, Dominic." I went on, feeling myself about to break down.
"I ain't tryna hear nun'. We spending time together today, Tiana. She got me fucked up." He went on to say, standing to his feet.
"No. I have to go home, you know how she is." I explained to him and he shrugged.
"I don't care about none of that shit. It's my turn."
"Get in the bed." He told me, getting back into the bed and relighting his blunt.
"Babe." I spoke reluctantly.
"Tiana." He spoke sternly and I couldn't help but to smile. He was so serious and stingy about his time with me and I loved it. But it didn't make me any less worried about what would happen when I didn't show up for dinner. My mother is a very spiteful person, who knows what she'd do.

Stirring in my sleep, I felt my phone vibrating in my sweatpants pocket. I stretched my body out, trying to wake myself before I panicked, looking at the time.
"Fuck." I whisper yelled, seeing Connor currently calling me and a bunch of missed calls from my mother.
I quickly hopped out of the bed, leaving the room to go to the bathroom down the hall.
"Hello." I quickly answered my phone, closing the door behind me.
