What are we doing alone staring up at the moon?
Know our night is waiting, oh yeah
Do you wanna go or do you wanna stay?
I see you contemplating

Oh, what are we here for?
Yeah, oh, I, what are we here for?
I just wanna know
What are we here for?
What are we here for?
Let's be an example right now
We don't wanna regret this
What are we here for?
Don't say maybe later then maybe turns too late, oh
What are we here for?

What are we here for
Trey Songz

Five days later
Darrelle's POV
I was in my office waiting for a text from the delivery man. Everyday since the car ride, I've sent a bouquet of roses with a quote from an Ottis Redding song to her office. I was learning to really appreciate the man's music. I was hoping to get her attention, maybe a call or a follow on Instagram, something.

And the worst part is she could find me if she wanted to, because her brother had my number. Today I did the samething only difference is this time there was a small phone hidden in the bouquet of roses. I planned on-

My thoughts got cut short at the sound of the message from the delivery man letting me know she had gotten them. I quickly dialed the number of the phone that was hidden away after a couple rings it got answered.

"So this is new," I heard her soft voice say over the phone and I chuckled.

"Well I figured you couldn't find a way to contact me, so I provided one," I replied amused and I heard the sound of her laughter the sound so sweet and hypnosizing that I began smiling.

"Thank you for the roses, they're beautiful, "

"It was my pleasure Nia,"

"I appreciate it, "

"What are you doing now?" I asked looking at the clock on the wall, leaning back in my chair.

"Work," she replied amused

"What kind of work?" I said trying to stretch the conversation not wanting to hang up yet.

"Really?," She asked amused

"What are you doing after work?"

"I'm going to get a couple drinks with my friends why?"

"What do you mean why, I'm trying to see you,"

"Is that so?"

"Give me the time and place,"

"And why should I?"

"Because I know you wanna see me too,"

"You do? "

"Yeah, "

"And how do you know that? "

"Because you're still talking to me right now," I replied smiling there was a pause before she said

"The same club like last time at 7:40,"

"Well I guess I'll see you then, enjoy your day Nia,"

"Same to you Darrelle," she replied ending the call, happiness rang through me as I wanted back turning the chair from side to side.

I walked into the club scanning before my eyes landed on her, she was in the same place as the night I first saw her. I smiled walking over to her, she saw me and stood up allowing me to enter their V.I.P area.

"Who is this?" One of her friends asked.

"This is Darrelle,"

"Oh you're the rose guy," the man to the left said a smile on his face.

"Hi, I'm Darwin," he said outstretching his hand and I began shaking it.

"Nice to meet you man," he ended as I pulled my hand away.

"This is Megan and Trishana,"

"If you want you can send me her roses because, I know she is not thanking you properly," Megan said and I chuckled sitting down beside Nia.

"Do you want something to drink?" Nia asked

"No, why don't you drink tonight, and I'll be the designated driver," I told her looking at the bottle of water in her hand.

"That's not necessary,"

"You've been working all week, it's Friday just relax,"

"Dar-"

"I got you, alright," I said before turning calling a waiter over.

"A bottle of Hennessey," I told him and he nodded walking away. He returned in a couple seconds with the bottle and some glasses, I filled one taking her water from her hand replacing it with the glass. She looked at me hesitantly before emptying the glass, I chuckled watching her.

"You're not a crazy drunk are you?" I asked and she laughed.

"If I was, I wouldn't tell you,"

"You can talk to friends and have your fun, just pretend I'm not here," I did and she looked at me confused.

"Relax, alright, have fun," I told her and she did just that. After 2 hours she was on the dance floor drunk with no heels on with her friends and it was a sight to see, she was absolutely stunning. I smiled as they started walking back towards me.

"We're ready," she said laughing for no apparent reason I chuckled getting up as a guy walked over who I remembered as the bartender, Paul I think.

"Do you want me to call a driver, Ms Graham?" He asked not recognizing me.

"No, I got it man," I said paying off my tab. I grabbed her purse moving towards them.

"And you are?" Paul asked

"Darrel-" I started but got cut off as I saved Nia from falling.

"I got you," I whispered allowing her to place her weight on me. I began walking out holding her up her friends trailing behind, a minute later they were all in my car. I leaned over putting the seatbelt on Nia before driving off.

They were all knocked out, it was a good thing the Trish gave me her address before they went all out on liquor. I parked the car wondering how I was going to do this.

"Are we there yet?" Nia asked for the hundredth time and I chuckled.

"We are now," I replied getting out of the car.
