Chapter 38

YOUR P.O.V.

*a few months later*

I woke up that morning, sleeping on Diggy’s bare chest. Last night was one of those nights when we’d kick back with a movie, mess around under the sheets and be just together. Just enjoying each other’s company… 

Since we were engaged, we loved to do this together. Long days of working and cuddling with my fiancé was just perfect… and it felt good to call him that too and I was getting used to it

Diggy- At this rate, I just wanna stay here with you. I ain’t even wanna go work

Y/N- *smiles* I know babe. 

Diggy- *kisses your head* You want breakfast? *slides out of bed*

Y/N- I want you.

Diggy- I know baby. But daddy’s gotta work..

Y/N- Urgh.. *rolls her eyes*

Diggy- What?

Y/N- *points at him* Don’t ever call yourself that… ever.

Diggy- *smirks and leans down to you* *touches his nose with yours*

Y/N- *looks in his eyes*

Diggy- Who’s your daddy?

Y/N- *pushes him away* It certainly ain’t you! *sits up in bed*

Diggy- *laughs* Should I go and get you some food?

Y/N- Babe, I don’t mind, you know me.

Diggy- *pulls on jeans* Alright.. so that’s a coffee, waffles and pancakes and bacon for me and… nothin for you? *smiles*

Y/N- *straightfaces him*

Diggy- *laughs* Alright, I’m gone! *leaves*

Y/N- *falls back in bed*

*later on*

Diggy- How’s the food?

Y/N- *eating* It’s good… not bad. I should let you buy food more often..

Diggy- I keep telling ya!

Y/N- *rolls her eyes and laughs* *looks at her ring* It’s so beautiful

Diggy- Like someone else I know…

Y/N- Who me? Or your impressive ego?

Diggy- Harley actually…

Y/N- *shakes her head*

Diggy- *laughs*

Harley- *barks*

Y/N- See, my lil nigga knows when he’s being talked about..

Diggy- *looks at you confused* You can’t call him that, he’s white..

Y/N- No, he’s a yellow labrador. I can call him what I want…

Diggy- Aye wifey, listen to me..

Y/N- *raises her eyebrow* You think you’re so funny.. I’m not your wifey yet…

Diggy- Just one “I do” and a signature on a paper left and we’re fully there.

Y/N- *shakes her head and smiles* Ever since we got engaged, I don’t know what it is, but you’re more cocky..

Diggy- Babygirl, I’ve always been like this

Y/N- *laughs* You’re so arrogant, oh my days…

*phone rings*

Y/N- Hold up.. *answers it* Hello?

Pierre- I need you to style for me on this shoot.. it’s an emergency.

Y/N- Emergency?

Diggy- *looks at you*

Pierre- The stylist here, Monica? Psh, she can’t style. It’s all horrible and I’m annoyed at her darling. I mean what kind of quality is this for French Vogue?

Y/N- Wait, Paris? As in Vogue in France?

Pierre- Yes, that’s why I need you.. it’s huge!

Y/N- Where and when?

Pierre- The studios on the floor above my offices, up there and I need you as soon as possible..

Y/N- Okay, see you soon *hangs up* *looks at Diggy* Babe, I gotta cut breakfast short..

Diggy- *whines* Why?

Y/N- Because Pierre needs me on this shoot…

Diggy- Baby, you never say no..

Y/N- Do you ever say no when Spin asks you out to the club?

Diggy- *looks away* 

Y/N- And I ain’t never had a problem with it.. the difference is, I’m making money…

Diggy- I make more than you

Y/N- Shut up… *runs in the bedroom*

*later at the shoot*

Photographer- *hands you a business card* I’ll call you and then you call me, I’m excited to work

Y/N- *smiles* Me too, and thank you so much

Photographer- It’s no problem.. *leaves*

Pierre- *looks at you and smiles*

Y/N- *smiles at him* What?

Pierre- I have bigger news.. I booked you a few photoshoots and gigs and… we’re going to Italy!

Y/N- *eyes widen*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Spin- Y’all decided on a date?

Diggy- Naw, we’ve just been spending time together so far.. no major talks or nothin

Spin- You need to set a date..

Diggy- It’s only been three months

Spin- And you’re bound to get busier huh?

Diggy- *pauses* Yeah… but I don’t wanna do it now. I’m sure she doesn’t either..

Spin- *shrugs*

Diggy- How are you and Kumiko?

Spin- *sighs*

Diggy- What does that mean?

Spin- All I remember is, after the proposal, we went back to mine we had a night and then she disappeared in the morning. She hasn’t been answering my calls or anything.

Diggy- Don’t take it personal. Maybe your game ain’t good anymore

Spin- *glares at him*

Diggy- *laughs* Or she’s really busy, you know. She’s at college, she has her own stuff going on. It’s one call. She hasn’t forgotten about you

Spin- *shrugs* Yeah maybe she’s busy.. But we were all bae this and that and all loved up before and it changed in a couple months?

Diggy- Y/N was saying she hadn’t seen her in a while now that she’s at college but they talk sometimes..

Spin- It’s been so long, I can’t remember if we’re friends or if we’re fucking or what. She’s messing with me.

Diggy- You make it sound like she’s an object

Spin- Shut up, you know she isn’t…

Diggy- All I know is that she’s busy, you’re hooked on her and the only times she can see you are when she’s studying or working. She hasn’t been to ours in a minute

Spin- I need to see her *thinks*

Perry- *taps Diggy* We gotta get to the next place, you ready?

Diggy- Of course… *gets up*

Spin- *leaves with them*

YOUR P.O.V.

*a few weeks later*

Y/N- All I know is there’s a surprise waiting for you outside your university and I want you to see if it’s been delivered properly

Kumi- *walks out* Alright… *walks outside and looks around* I can’t see anyth… *sees you* You bitch…

Y/N- *laughs*

Kumi- *runs up and hugs you*

Y/N- You have no idea how much I missed you..

Kumi- *sighs happily* I can say the same damn thing..

*paparazzi run towards you both*

Y/N- Get in the car right now..

Kumi- *gets in quickly*

Y/N- *gets in*

Paparazzi- *take pictures of you both*

Y/N- *drives off*

Kumi- So… where we going?

Y/N- *driving* Back to mine. Everyone’s there. And Spin’s there..

Kumi- *puts hand over her face* Oh God..

Y/N- *glances at her* What?

Kumi- I really don’t wanna see him.

Y/N- Why not?

Kumi- I’m just done with it. This is my last year of college, I have a couple months until graduation and I realised I don’t wanna be in a relationship.

Y/N- That’ crazy.. you’re crazy. He’s literally in love with you. You haven’t seen him for ages and you’re gonna just drop this on him?

Kumi- I know it sounds so bad..

Y/N- No, what’s gonna sound bad is the slamming of doors in my house after you tell him…

Kumi- *looks out the window*

*at the house*

Y/N- We stopped by the store and grabbed some food someone’s cooking tho

Kylie- *runs up to you and take food* Mine…

Diggy- Yo, you eat my doritos and you gettin thrown in the pool

Kylie- *throws them to him* I ain’t taking any chances

Diggy- *laughs*

Kumi- *walks in the house*

Kendall- Kumi! *squeals and hugs her*

Kumi- *hugs her back*

Spin- *sees Kumi* *looks at you* What else did you get?

Y/N- *shrugs* Her.. *points at Kumi*

Spin- Whatever *walks away*

Kendall- Come on, you’ve missed so much… *drags Kumi away*

Y/N- *to Kumi* You gotta talk to him…

Kumi- *looks at you* *walks away with Kendall*

It was one of those rare days when we were all int he same place at the same time with no work commitments. We all chilled in our living room, Kendall and Kumi were playing with Harley in the backyard while me and Dig and Kylie chatted on the couch. But Spin was so distracted and distant compared to earlier on…

Kylie- Spin, what is up with you?

Spin- *looks ta her* Hm?

Kylie- You’re so distracted..

Y/N- *laughs* I think I know why..

Spin- Why?

Y/N- Your girl out there? You wanna talk to her huh?

Spin- How do you know?

Y/N- Cause she needs to talk to you..

Diggy- Go and talk to her, she’s not gonna bite you.

Spin- *reluctantly gets up*

KUMI’S P.O.V.

Harley- *barks and runs around*

Kumi- Careful boy!

Kendall- *laughs* He’s just playing with you!

Spin- *walks outside* Kumi..

Kumi- *looks at him* 

Spin- Can I talk to you?

Kumi- *sighs* *looks at Kendall* Give us a minute, huh?

Kendall- Yeah.. come on boy!

Harley- *follows her in the house*

Spin- *walks up to her* Why have you been so distant with me lately?

Kumi- I haven’t..

Spin- You have..

Kumi- Does the word college mean anything to you? I’m graduating, I have to focus…

Spin- Doesn’t mean you gotta ignore my calls..

Kumi- You never call at the right time.

Spin- Is there ever a right time? You’re either studying, working, travelling or in a lesson..

Kumi- Exactly! So I’m so sorry that I didn’t answer your calls Spin. I’m sorry my life isn’t as great as yours…

Spin- You’ve been avoiding me.. you make time to call Y/N but you could call me whenever? How’s that fair?

Kumi- *folds her arms* What did you exactly wanna talk about?

Spin- It’s been months.. where are we at in this relationship?

Kumi- Honestly?

Spin- Yeah..

Kumi- *pauses* I don’t want a relationship

Spin- *thinks* So… instead of talking to me before and telling me this, you string me along for months, ignore me and then just fall out of love with me?

Kumi- I didn’t fall out of love, I..

Spin- No, no you did. I’m basically not enough for you..

Kumi- Stop twisting my words!

Spin- This is the truth! You’re just telling me lies and I’m translating it for you! You’re too scared to admit it!

Y/N- *walks outside* What the fuck is going on?

Spin- She wants to end things. She’s been lying to me this whole time about our so-called relationship..

Y/N- That’s unfair..

Spin- *looks at you* And you’re taking sides?

Y/N- Who said I was? Look, I know you’re upset Spin but do..

Spin- I’m beyond that. I’m done with fucking with girls who throw my feelings back in my face, alright? I done wasted four years chasin after you. I waited and waited and I wanna say it was worth it…

Kumi- *looks at him upset*

Spin- *shakes his head* But it wasn’t *walks past you*

Diggy- *sees him go* Yo, where you goin..?

Spin- I can’t be here. I’m done *leaves*

Kumi- *sits on the patio* *shakes her head*

*a few days later*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Y/N- *plays with her hair* So Pierre wants to take me to Italy..

Diggy- Urgh.. *taps on his phone* Still ain’t answering..

Y/N- *looks at him* You listenin?

Diggy- *looking at his phone* No..

Y/N- Urgh.. *walks away*

Diggy- *sees you go* Babe..

Y/N- *walks off* No, it’s fine. It’s not important…

Diggy- *catches up to you* No, I know it is, what is it? Sorry I was distracted. Spin’s ignoring my calls…

Y/N- I said Pierre wants to take me to Italy..

Diggy- What for?

Y/N- What else? For work, a photoshoot and to help set up his business over there. Then I’m coming home for more work *grabs her bag*

Diggy- When is it? Cause we’ve got a wedding to plan..

Y/N- Right now? Why are we planning it now? It’s only been five months that we’re engaged..

Diggy- We don’t need a lotta time babe..

Y/N- Yeah we do.. have you seen your schedule? It’s all booked out, how you gonna find the time?

Diggy- I’ll manage..

Y/N- *flashes her eyebrows*

Diggy- Don’t give me that face, you know I can..

Y/N- You’re an artist, I’m a model and stylist, how the fuck can we find time to put a wedding together?

Diggy- If other people can do it then we can..

Y/N- I don’t want a huge wedding.. I wanna marry in secret.

Diggy- What? *motions at you both* And keep this a secret?

Y/N- Yeah. You don’t see huge weddings nowadays. And the more secret it is, the more intimate it can be too.. we don’t need thousands of dollars splashed out on a wedding. It’s one day

Diggy- But this is the only time I’m gonna get married… I hope.

Y/N- You hope?

Diggy- Unless you divorce me..

Y/N- I don’t wanna get married so soon.. no one even knows we’re engaged baby..

Diggy- I know. But I want it sooner, I want you to be my wifey..

Y/N- You’re gonna have to wait a while, huh? My schedule is so packed…

Diggy- *frowns and pouts*

Y/N- *touches his lip* I hate that face you make.. it’s ugly.

Diggy- *looks at you crazy* 

Y/N- And that one just makes me laugh..

Diggy- *rolls his eyes*

Y/N- *smiles* I have to go. And so do you. Perry said he’s waiting for you in the office in the city

Diggy- Shit.. *grabs his jacket*

Y/N- Uh huh.. *slips her heels on*

Diggy- *kisses your cheek* Bye babe.. *leaves*

*a month later*

Diggy- *on the phone* You ready for the billboard awards in a couple weeks?

Y/N- Yeah I think so..

Diggy- Good, cause I’m nominated

Y/N- I know and I’m so proud of you.. No, no get the one in black..

Diggy- Huh?

Y/N- No, I’m talking to the assistants. Babe, I have to call you back okay?

Diggy- Alright *hangs up*

She was obviously busy, but she was gonna support me, so it was all good. Y/N had been really busy lately. Working every night, travelling between LA, Miami, Houston and New York just for work commitments, so I didn’t see her as much lately and she was coming home late too… she barely had any time to plan for anything and I had no idea of her schedule either.

Tonight was her last night in New York before she’d fly to LA In the morning and meet with her management, but I was still based in New York and Jersey…

Diggy- *walks out the booth* That was good huh?

Hit- Really good… I’m liking how you sound today

Diggy- I was just going back to my old sound.. remember my old bars and shit? That was good. I just want that back and none of this old love stuff. Proper rap and getting back in the game

Hit- That’s more like it…

*later that night*

Diggy- *walks in the apartment* Y/N? *walks around* *dials his phone phone dials out* 

Diggy- Dammit Y/N… *sits on the couch* *watches tv* *falls asleep*

*a few weeks later*

Y/N- *walks in the apartment*

Diggy- looks at you* You’re late again..

Y/N- *walks up to him* I’m sorry Dig..

Diggy- You’re always sorry..

Y/N- I can’t help always workin Diggy. It;s like you and the studio, I never know when you’re coming home..

Diggy- Yeah well I have to ta..

Y/N- *phone rings* Hold that thought… *answers it* Hello? Yeah this is her, hi, how are you?

Diggy- *walks away* *closes the bedroom door*

YOUR P.O.V.

Y/N- *dials number*

Pierre- *answers* Hello?

Y/N- The airport in 45 minutes, right?

Pierre- yes.. it’s gonna be hot in Italy! Dress the part…

Y/N- *smiles* Will do.. *hangs up* *grabs luggage and leaves*

*hours later*

Y/N- *on the phone* I don’t know why you’re screaming at me.. I’m on the plane, remember.. 

Zoey- Y/N, you were meant to be there hours ago, what are you doing on a plane?

Y/N- I’m going to Italy with Pierre? Remember? you said I was okay to on my schedule and I’m styling for Vogue Italia? You booked me on this..

Zoey- No, I booked you to be in LA right now

Y/N- *confused* What for?

Zoey- The Billboard Awards with Diggy? Remember?

Y/N- Billboard Awards?

Zoey- He’s been nominated and everything. I think he might win..

Y/N- *puts hand on her face* Shit, shit shit…

Pierre- *looks at you*

Y/N- There’s nothing I can do right now

Zoey- Obviously. You said you’d be here! 

Y/N- You double booked me!

Zoey- No, your styling and shoot is in a few days.. you were meant to be at Billboard now. You’ve gone too early and to Pierre’s offices? 

Y/N- *sighs*

Zoey- You gotta sort it.. *hangs up*

Y/N- *puts head in hands* Urgh..

Pierre- What’s wrong?

Y/N- I’m meant to be in LA for Diggy right now.. for an awards show

Pierre- *confused* So, why are you on a plane with me?

Y/N- I forgot about it, I’ve been so busy.

Pierre- There’s never such thing as too busy for your partner..

*phone rings*

Y/N- *looks at it* *sees Diggy’s picture* Oh shit.. it’s him

Pierre- *looks at you* Answer it..

Y/N- *slowly answers it* Hello…?

Diggy- *on the phone* Babe..

Y/N- Yeah?

Diggy- Where the hell are you?

Y/N- *slowly* On a plane to Italy..

Diggy- *pauses for a while* What?

Y/N- I’m on a..

Diggy- No, I heard.. but right now, I’m in a car on my way to the Billboard Awards and you were meant to be here with me hours ago.. what the fuck Y/N?

Y/N- I forgot about it. Diggy, I’ve been so busy and everything, you gotta understand..

Diggy- No, no, I get it. I came second to your career and now you can’t even be here to support me because a fun trip to Italy is all you needed.

Y/N- It’s not like that.

Diggy- Remember in the past how I’ve dropped every and anything to be with and support you and I still do but you can’t do the same for me? And this is isn’t even the first time you’ve done this..

Y/N- Daniel…

Diggy- No, fuck it. *hangs up*

Y/N- *sighs*
