Phillip is up bright and early again for school, I've never met a kid this excited to go to school he ceases to amaze me every day. "Come on Philip I'm ready" we both leave and start walking to school. 

"Jacob asked me to play at his house" Phillip jumps in front of me and swings around to the sid of the road.

"no, stay on the inside buddy, who is Jacob?" 

"he's my friend we play cars together" 

"oh that's nice you want to introduce him to me" I bend down and tickle his ribs. 

"Noooo stoooop" We walk through the gates and we stand outside waiting to head in. After a few minutes of playing with Phil, a couple and a small boy walk up to us. 

"Pea !" they both start running with each other and I turn to his parents. 

"Jacobs parents ?" They both smile and nod their heads. 

"pea's parent" I laugh and shake their hands 

"Phillip, and yes" 

"Jacob has a thing for nicknames" The dad laughs at his son and we make small talk for a few minutes before they start walking away.  "It was nice meeting you" I give them a smile and walk home. settling on the sofa I pull out the remote and scroll through the channels. After about ten minutes of mindlessly scrolling I decide to put on a random movie and drift of the sleep. I snap up straight sitting up on the sofa startled by my phone ringing. I pick it up. 

"hello YN speaking" the voice on the other side of the phone chuckled. 

"Hi YN" I don't say anything and wait for an answer not completely sure who it is. "It's Daveed I uh ... I wanted to talk to you" I pause from, confusion, shock or just pure amazement. 

"Well uh I'm here" 

"Can I take you out for lunch" This man! I haven't spoken to him in years after he messed my life up and now he wants to have lunch with me. I decide to humour him. 

"Sure where to" 

"What's your address ill pick you up"

"I can make my own why their"   

"yeah sure um how does Trufa sound 140th street?"

"Meet you there" Lunch with Daveed what could go wrong? I grab my keys and head out. 

I get out of the taxi outside of the restaurant and walk in. I survey the room to find him and he instantly stands up and waves me over. I take a seat opposite him and give him a weak smile. "I haven't seen you in ages it's nice to see you" I furrowed my eyebrows and tilted my head in confusion. 

"That's funny because last time I saw you outed me and called me a whore, or was it a slut I can't remember and before I forget you ... you" He cut me off before I started to shout. 

"I know what I did I know it was bad and I'm sorry" he looks up from his hands and searches my face. "I'm sorry YN I understand if you want to leave I want to-"  

"it's fine what did you want to talk about" 

"I saw the article you wrote on my new album" A smile spread across his face one that I've never seen before I couldn't help but mirror it. "Did you mean it? you wrote a lot of nice comments in their" 

"Trust me I tried to write something bad" We both laugh at my comment. After a few minutes of talking back and forth, a waiter came with two pizzas. 

"I ordered us both pizza like our first date"

"Such a gentleman" He winked at me and we tucked in. "You would always do that stupid dance in the what did I miss."  

"Only because I didn't know what you and Lin choreographed was so complicated!" 

"Was not you just can't tell your left foot from your right" 

"Are you finished with that?" I nod my head at him. He flags over a waiter and he takes our plates. "Can we have a dessert menu please"

"You know how to treat a girl" We make eye contact for a second but it feels like minutes as the menu is handed to us. I check my phone to avert my eyes "Shit, I need to go I'm so sorry I have ... to be somewhere" 

"At least let me drive you where do you need to be?" We walk out of the restaurant and turn to each other.

"Thank you I enjoyed your company I really did" We pause again, looking deep into his eyes I delve deeper not wanting to leave. I don't notice but were inches apart softly breathing on each other's lips. His hand reaches for my chin and props it up closing the gap. In contrast to his hand, his lips are soft I melt into his body before he softly bites my bottom lip. I pull away. "I need to go now" I wave down a taxi and leave for the school. 


"Can we have chicken nuggets today!" 

"yeah just give me a sec buddy" Phillips teacher gave me a few assignments to complete with him over the weekend, most of it's maths but I'm not entirely sure. I rummage the freezer for some chicken but it Barron. "I don't think nuggets are on the table for today buddy" Phillip walks into the kitchen and pouts. 

"What about ice cream?" I take a second look at the freezer and theirs nothing. 

"We've got fish and apple pie" He scrunches up his nose and shakes his head. "Uhhhh, takeaway" Phillips eyes light up 

"Yaaaaaaa"

"What do you want to have?" He instantly starts to chant Mcdonald  while marching to his room, I pull out my phone and order us both a meal. I sit on the sofa and ring Tom to update him. 

"Hey YN" 

"Tom" I sigh and get ready to talk but get interrupted 

"You met Daveed didn't you" How did he know 

"How did you know!" 

"Uzi told me about the article he had you write I thought it was only a matter of time until he got his slimy hands on you" His hands aren't that slimy... 

"Don't be mad at me"

"I'm not mad tell me what happened !" 

"Well not much really, I flipped out about what he did. He said sorry and explained himself and we talked about hamilton and his music." 

"Oh, that's it ?"

"Yep then I left to pick up Phillip" 

"Huh" I tilted my head wondering what he was thinking. "well I need to go now dinner is ready" 

"Okay see you soon" Just as he hung up the door knocked I went and got out food. I cut all of Phillips nuggets in half and called him through It didn't take long for him to finish his meal and sauntered to his room. "Remember no school tomorrow"   

"Okay, ill see you tomorrow" He yawned and fell fast asleep.


AN It's the end of the week and another chapter !!! I had a lot of fun writing this one It took me most of the week to write it because I wasn't sure how to portray Daveed. I don't think I did him justice in the previous book so I wanted to show that he's changed (and it goes better with the whole story) But I hope you guys like it.

Also what other books would you guys want to see? Any from other fandoms?
