Romans & histoires Quarter After One I Need You Now

Queen — "Yes, he is. Do you want to come see him?" Me — "Yes, I really miss him." Queen — "You're always welcome here. Come anytime you want." Me — "Thank you, my Queen. I’ll come right away." Queen — "We’ll be waiting for you." Once she hung up, I jumped from my seat and rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. I had to look perfect. I had to look sincere.

I am only wearing my black leggings and a jacket to cover my top before I look around the area with full of lights. There is even a live band from the condominium’s resto bar so I give it a little glance to check who is singing. How can you miss someone you've never met? 'Cause I need you now but I don't know you yet But can you find me soon because I'm in my head? Yeah, I need you now but I don't know you yet

“This ends now.” ***

"What are you doing right now?" "Nothing." she rolled to the other side of her bed. "Uh umm if you are free then-" she could clearly sense the hesitation in his voice. "Then?" "then would you like to hang out with me?" "Hang out?" she looked at her wrist watch and it was almost 7 pm. "Right now?" "Yeah right now. Eh, I just want to show you something." "Show me something? What could it possibly be?" she sat upright and plopped out of her bed.

“Now and forever. I swear on my life.” My cheeks rose as I smiled. “Good night, Dario.”

Because tonight, I’ll be one step ahead. -o0o-

“One minute, huh?” “Yeah.” I crouched closer, my gaze locked steady on his. “One minute standin’ tall. You give me that, I’ll give you somethin’ you won’t forget.” For the first time that night, Quincy looked rattled in a different way. Not from pain, not from rage, but from something softer. He scoffed, trying to mask it. “And if I can’t?” “Then we keep tryin’,” I said simply. “But you will. Cos I said so.”

Thank you. #one_love

The intercom buzzed, "ma'am, you have an appointment with your new client in fifteen minutes." "Okay. Thank you, Eve." I had to get myself together and get through this meeting. I currently needed a lot of money to get my own place after the debacle with Paul had rendered me hopelessly. Even though Jen said it was cool to room with her, I just needed my own space. I took a deep breath, and then the door burst open, a familiar figure stomping in. "What the hell, Scarlett? Why aren't you picking my calls?" My ex snarled.

Finally. Quinn: I need you.
