"Why you gotta look so focused mamas, like damn. Your face gon make a nigga think you writing an exam."

"My bad, you know how I'm really picky when it comes to food."

"Which is crazy cause you damn near eat like everything."

"True but I gotta be in the mood for certain foods you know that" she shrugged flipping through the menu.

Sitting across from her got me thinking hard bout the times we had. A nigga regret fucking up our relationship but after all I said and the way I treated her, how imma look at Lily and ask for another chance. In fact I've been thinking about it for a minute now but more so since I finally for my whole family under the same roof again. Part of me don't really care for the circumstances honestly, if that's what it took for her to be back in New York then so be it. I don't got not an ounce of sympathy for Safi so it is what it is. Lily and I been sleeping in separate rooms and that shit was weird asf to me. As much as I wanna be a unit again, I've been keeping it cool. Focusing more on the kids than Lily while still making sure she straight because I ain't wanna overwhelm her. The last thing I need to do is scare her away before I get the chance to fix this. When I heard her sobbing in the shower it tore me from the inside seeing my lady hurt like that. We hadn't even been home ten minutes yet and she was having a whole mental breakdown and now catching her crying in the room. I know she going through some hard times mentally so I sure as hell ain't trynna bring more to her. I just wanna be there for her and remind her that I ain't going nowhere. I want her to still feel comfortable enough to come holla at me. At the end of the day if she can't find comfort from me then shit maybe we really do need to split for good. Maybe the love ain't enough for her no more. Maybe I fucked shit up beyond repair.

I'm glad she agreed to lunch because as much as I enjoy time at home, I needed some fresh air. This is the perfect opportunity to smoothly try to charm Lily and also to clear my head and really think about everything. I'm determind to get her back. When I asked Aaliyah out to lunch today, I didn't mean it like a date or nothing  just time together to chill and eat without Reina, Dimitri or Kairi in our feet because I knew we both needed it. My mind going crazy right now I'm trying my best to keep it cool and just live in the moment before I say some dumb shit and fuck shit up.

I couldn't help but stare and admire her though. Aaliyah everything I want. She sitting there clueless asf as to how beautiful she is. It so effortless with her too, that's just a bonus. She ain't got nothing but lipgloss and that I think—foundation shit and she look flawless still. With the city in the background and Marvins Room by Drake playing softly , this just feels right. Something that feels this right, this perfect could never be wrong. Imma get my lady back without a doubt. I'll sweep her right off her feet like a broom. Ain't no room for mistakes. I'll do everything right this time and I won't fail. It's just not an option.
"Lily, I ain't gon stop fighting for us. I want this to work for real. I could admit my wrong doings as a man, I put my family on the back burner and that ain't fair to y'all."
"I really appreciate you saying that Dave and whilst we're at it I want to sincerely apologize for the way I've been acting. I lost trust in you when I had no reason to in the first place. My judgement was clouded and it affected our relationship. I even accused you of having something to do with Safi's death and that was beyond foul. I'n disgusted and embarrassed that I even did such a thing to you. I realized we weren't on the same page for a while and obviously I'm partly to blame for that. I owed you my loyalty and you didn't get that at least not fully. Don't get me wrong I never cheated on you, I'd be a fool to even think it-
"Without a doubt ma."
"But I did some self reflecting and honestly it's like I put my friends and others needs and truths above yours and that wasn't right of me as your partner. You've always been my go-to but I guess that was hypocritical since I wasn't really reciprocating the energy at least not like I should have been so I apologize for that."
"None of that mean shit right now. I love you that ain't changed. You got a real gangster all soft for you girl. I can't see myself with nobody else for real. It just feel different witchu just like I said all those years ago."
"I love you more even when I'm fussing at you. I swear you make me want to become better, to grow and be the perfect lady to cater to you. I never had that feeling before. I laugh at myself now when I think back to my past relationships where I believed I was in love because honestly, thanks to you I realized I wasn't even close to it. I didn't love any of them as much as I love you."
"All this confession of love and shit, Imma win you back girl watch. I put that on my life, we gon be back like we never left. We'll work on our faults together that's the best thing for us."
"You never actually lost me Dave so what are you really getting back?" She chuckled lightly.
"Shit, good asf to know shawdy but yunno what I mean. I wanna wake up to you in my arms again but I ain't trynna pressure you or none. One good lunch together don't gotta mean anything-
"It means everything to me. I meant everything I said I want this to work just as much as you do, believe me and I don't see why it shouldn't. I'm still filming so I won't be here for too long I gotta get back to LA by next week."
"As long as you mine I ain't too worried bout that for the while. We gon make something work mamas, trust me."
"I do trust you Dave." She smiled softly at me and I couldn't help but to reach for her hand. It was a small gesture but it meant everything in this moment.
