~Autumn~

Nicole: He said what?

Autumn: I know, I know..

I said as I put my head down. I felt horrible about not being able to say it back..

Autumn: I just feel so much weight on me now. I'm not ready this again! I swear! All hell breaks loose when someone confesses their love for me..

I shook my head and Nicole rubbed my back.

Nicole: Calm down, girl! He doesn't seem like the type that would pressure you into anything.. Except for a few kisses..

She blushed. I looked up at her suspiciously.

Autumn: Uh huh.. And what exactly is it that you and Diggy do?

Nicole: Nothing!

She smiled and I eyed her.

Nicole: Well, not yet.. I just.. Dream a lot..

I began to grin and she snapped me out of it.

Nicole: But girl! This is about you! What was his reaction right after he said it?

Autumn: He just kept his nose in the book as if nothing ever happened..

She raised her eyebrow at me.

Nicole: Autumn Elizabeth Summers..

Autumn: What the hell I do now?

Nicole: You made it seem like he looked into your eyes and said it like he meant it! Do you realize that he probably was just caught up in the moment when he told you?

I looked at her bedroom doorway.. Practically looking for an escape..

Autumn: I never thought about that..

She sighed.

Nicole: Po Child..

She shook her head.

Nicole: Sometimes guys say things just like girls do. All I'm saying is that it might've been an unconscious confession that he has yet to accept for himself..

I laid down on her bed.

Autumn: Why do you have to make such perfect sense?

I rubbed my face and groaned.

Autumn: I sound like an idiot, huh? A mindless, loveless and hopeless romantic..

Nicole: Chill drama mama. Sit up.

I just looked at her and she rolled her eyes.

Nicole: Don't stress yourself out over little things like this, okay?

Autumn: It's hard because we both know what happened last time!

Nicole: That's why you gotta chill. Eventually, this day was gonna come. Just be glad hat you have time to let it sink into your thick skull.

She poked my head and I smiled.

Autumn: Fine.. At least you like him this time.

Nicole: Yeah, cause last time you was a hard headed fool!

We laughed and then my phone lit up. I looked at it and smiled.

"Hey Autumn, wanna hang out soon?" ~Jacob

"When?" ~Autumn

"Whenever you say you can. I'm free until I heal up." ~Jacob

I nodded.

"Cool.. Maybe in a couple of days?" ~Autumn

"Sure, I don't mind." ~Jacob

I sent him a thumbs up and Nicole couldn't help but eye me..

Nicole: And who the hell was that?

She had her arms crossed.

Autumn: Mind ya own damn business.

Nicole: T-Tina! I wanna know who the hell that jive turkey fool was that's texting you!

Autumn: Oh go to hell Ike.

She stood up.

Nicole: S-so what? You just gon leave me like the motha suckas I done made famous?

Autumn: Ike, I'm not in the mood.

Nicole: You what?

She screamed.

Autumn: I said I'm not in the mood!

Nicole: Alright.. I'll give you something to scream about..

She jumped on me and I started screaming.

Nicole: Eat the cake Anna-Mae!

Autumn: I don't want the cake Ike!

We fell out laughing after that and then she looked at me.

Nicole: Naw, but for real this time. Who was it?

Autumn: Jacob.

Her smile faded.

Autumn: What?

She sat up and shook her head.

Autumn: What Nicole?

Nicole: You don't listen to me, so therefore I'm just gonna save my breath on that.

Autumn: Nicole just say it.

Nicole: It.

Autumn: The password isn't it.. The password is-.

Nicole: What?

Autumn: Exactly!

She grinned a little and then nodded.

Nicole: Fine. I don't think that you should even be talking to that fool after what he did and what almost happened to him. Cause girl, he brought out a side to you that I ain't never seen before in my life! I'll be honest with you! Within that moment, I was terrified of you!

Autumn: He just wants to hang out, that's all..

She shook her head.

Nicole: Well I don't think that's cool.

Autumn: And I'll bring Trevor if it makes you feel any better..

She looked at me from the side and then I knew.

Autumn: And you can come too, if you behave.

Nicole: Will Diggy be there?

Autumn: I don't know.. I'll have to check..

I grinned.

Nicole: Girl, I promise to be on my best behavior!

She said in her Nikki Minaj voice as she swayed her hips and snapped her fingers.

Autumn: Sit down! Don't nobody wanna see all that!

She glared at me and sat down on me.

Autumn: So.. Tell me about you and Diggy, ya dig?

I grinned as I wrapped my arms around her.

Nicole: Well...

She smiled.

~Dream~

I was at home when I got a text from Diggy.

"Hey baby." ~Diggy

"Hey Diggy, what you doing?" ~Nicole

He sent me a picture of him at the gym. Shirtless and covered in sweat.. I bit my bottom lip.

"At the gym, you?" ~Diggy

Trying not to jump in this picture with you and.. No Nicy, stop it. I thought to myself while shaking my head.

"Just chilling at the house." ~Nicole

"You mind if I come chill wit you?" ~Diggy

I grinned.

"You can come over, if that's what you're asking." ~Nicole

"Cool. See you in a bit." ~Diggy

I smiled as I got up. Pretty soon, there was a knock at my door and he was there.

Diggy: Hey baby.

Nicole: Hey.. Come on in.

He came inside the house and kissed my cheek.

Diggy: You mind if I take a quick shower?

Nicole: Not at all. Go ahead.

He went upstairs and the shower started. When it stopped, I heard his voice again.

Diggy: Babe! Where are your towels?

Nicole: In the closet!

Then I heard him coming down the stairs.

Diggy: Nicole, I left my duffel bag in the car. Here's the keys, will go get it for me?

Nicole: Sure.

I said as I got up to take the keys.. But one look at him and I was like, damn! Wrapped in a towel, water running down his body which makes his abs shine and that look in his eyes? Damn..

Diggy: Baby?

Nicole: Huh? Oh yeah. Yeah, I got it.

I said as I quickly took the keys and attempted to leave, but he kissed my cheek again.

Diggy: Thank you.

Nicole: You're welcome.

I darted out the door and took my time to catch my breath.

Nicole: Good God! I swear that is too much sexiness for one body!

I melted before grabbing his bag. I went back inside the house but he went back upstairs, I went and knocked on the door.

Diggy: I gotta go man. Bye.

He hung up the phone and looked up at me.

Nicole: Here's your bag.

I set it down and he smiled.

Diggy: Thanks baby.

I nodded as he kissed my lips this time. I felt a shiver go down my spine. Next thing I knew, my hands were feeling on his abs and I felt his arms pick me up. I was sat on the counter as he took off my shirt

Nicole: And.. That's where I woke up..

I groaned in frustration.

Autumn: Dammit Nic! I was ready for something hot!

She looked me up and down.

Nicole: Aye.. Back up off my man, hoe.

I laughed and shook my head at her.
