-1 month later : March 3rd, 2014-

Today is my 22nd birthday! I like my birthdays they are usually fine.

I walked downstairs and it was quiet.

"Terrance!"

I walked in the kitchen and saw a note on the table.

Note : Happy Birthday babe! Made you some breakfast and it's in the microwave. I can't make it tonight because I have work but I'll make it up to you. I love you - Terrance ❤️

I sighed and rolled my eyes. This was the 2nd time in the row he has did this. Last year on my birthday, he had a business trip.

Sometimes I can't stand his job.

.

-Later that night-

I was at the Cheesecake Factory with a couple of friends. We were waiting for my friend Ashley's boyfriend and friend.

"They are 5 minutes late", I said.

"Shh they are on their way", she said.

I saw her boyfriend walk in with Dominic. My eyes widen, I didn't George knew him.

"Hey babe", George kissed her lips then sat down.

Dominic sat next to me and smiled. I blushed and looked away.

"Happy Birthday", he said.

"Thank you"

When I looked at him, he was holding a gift in his hand.

"You didn't have to"

"I wanted to"

I took the box and opened it. It was a gold rolex. The inside had my name. My eyes widen and I looked at him.

"What? You hate it?"

"No no I love it but I know this most have a cost a fortune"

"Don't worry about it"

He put it around my wrist and snapped it together.

.

We were eating and everyone was making jokes with each other.

"How yall know each other?", Alexis asked.

I put down my wine and cleared my throat.

"We work out at the same gym", Dominic said.

"This the fine nigga you was telling me about Leah?", Destiny said.

I covered my face and blushed.

"Jesus"

Everyone laughed at me.

.

I was about to get in my car but Dominic grabbed me.

"Let me take you on a ride"

I looked at him and raised my eyebrow.

He looked at me and smirked. We began walking and we walked to a motorcycle.

"We are getting on that?", I asked.

"Yeah"

He got on and looked at me.

"I need a helmet"

"Leah"

"This is very dangerous"

"Sometimes you need to be a little dangerous"

.

We were going full speed on the highway and I was having the time of my life. I held on to his waist tight. My head was on his shoulder.

He lifted the motorcycle and rode on one wheel. I screamed a little and laughed.

He put it back down and laughed with me.

He got off on an exit and stopped at a stop light.

"God I haven't rode one of these since I started dating Terrance"

"Well he needs to get a little excitement himself. Why didn't he come tonight?"

"Work"

"Unbelievable, on your birthday?"

"It's okay. It's not the first time"

"Looks like you need someone else babygirl"

"I feel like if I lose him. My world will come tumbling down"

"It won't"

"How do you know?"

"You met me remember?"

.

I was driving back home. I was thinking about what Terrance said but then again I wasn't.

Terrance and I are in love and I don't think I will be leaving him anytime soon.

I arrived back home and Terrance was home. I walked in the house and I saw him sitting on the couch.

I walked over and sat down in his lap. He moved me and he looked angry.

"What's wrong?"

"I saw you tonight on my way going home. You were on a motorcycle with some nigga"

"He is just a friend okay"

"What's his name?"

"Dominic"

His eyes widen and he shook his head.

"Stay away from him"

"Why?"

"He is bad news. He is known for stealing girlfriends and just using them. Trust me, him and his friends use to do it a lot"

"How do you know him?"

"He went to highschool with us but you didn't know him. You came late senior year"

I nodded and looked down.

Maybe I should listen to Terrance about this. After all he has been here for me for 4 years now.
