This is for my lil' sis, Shelle. ;D I know she's prolly sayin' that it took me long enough to get this posted, but hey, betta late than neva right?! ;D Walk Away A CarolinaCutie/DruAngel Productions[glow=red,2,300]"No I'm not your man/But I'm making plans/Like you're already mine"[/glow] As soon as my lunch break rolled around, I decided to run down to the mall to find something to wear for my blind date for this upcoming weekend after finally being talked into it by my best friend, Tamirah. She told me that her cousin, Kelton, had a friend named Marques that moved into town recently who would be perfect for me to go out with. At first, I didn't want to be a part of this set-up since I wasn't that desperate to go out with anyone. Besides, I had been getting along just fine without any male company for the past year after a nasty break-up with my high school sweetheart. I've been satisfied with just hanging out with my older sister, Sylvia, who is also my best friend. But not only is she my best friend, she's also been responsible in raising me after our father died close to ten years ago. Our mother died 21 years ago from complications while giving birth to me and a twin sister that died several hours after we were born. But I still remember how daddy used to tell me that he saw mommy in Sylvia. So, needless to say, I'm lucky to have my big sis be a major part of my life. After I bought a too cute blue sundress from Lerner's, I decided to run down to the record store to buy Prince's new CD. I had tried buying it earlier in the week, but I was too late in picking it up because it was sold out. But today I was in luck because I saw one copy left on the front store rack. As soon as I stretched my hand out to grab it, a male hand reached over mine and snatched it up. "Excuse you, but I was gettin' that!", I huffed after I turned around to face the guy who had just called snatches on it. "Nah, shawty...you got that all wrong! This is mine!", he smirked before turning around to head to the counter. However, I marched past him until I was standing up in his face. "Look...I saw it first, so technically that makes it mine!", I snapped while placing my hand on my hip. "I'm sorry, ma.", he sighed as he walked around me to head for the cashier. That's when I took it upon myself to jump in front of him to ask the clerk if they had any more copies in the store. However, she broke the bad news to me that they wouldn't have anymore until the following Tuesday which meant I would have to wait 5 more days for it. When I turned around to glare at my newfound enemy, he had the nerve to wink at me while smiling. "Get the hell outta my way!", I huffed as I pushed my way past him before angrily stomping out of the store. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "W'sup, girl!", Sylvia smiled when she opened her door for me after I decided to drop by her house when I left work. "Don't even ask!", I sighed with a shake of my head as I headed for her sofa. "Uh oh...what's happened?", she giggled as she took a seat across from me in her rocking chair. "Nothin' except I ran into this foo' today that took the last copy of Prince's CD! You know how bad I've been wantin' to get that!", I huffed while pouting and folding my arms. "Is that all? Girl, I thought somethin' major had happened!", she teased while looking at me with a smirk. "Whateva! But that's not even the worst part!", I laughed. "That guy was fine as hell! I can't stop thinkin' about him!" This time I found myself blushing. "Oh lawd!", Sylvia chuckled with a roll of her eyes. "Don't forget your date on this Saturday, girly!" "I know. But I've been tryna decide if I want to go through with it or not. I mean, one half of me wants to, but the otha half juss doesn't know.", I replied with a shrug of my shoulders. "You need to go for it!", Sylvia encouraged me with a nod of her head. "Aight...well under one condition.", I slyly grinned. "What's that?", she asked with a skepitcal look. "You have to hurry up and find a man...you are gettin' up there in age, chile!", I laughed. "Forget you, trick!", she laughed while throwing her hand up in my direction. "I'm doin' juss fine!" "Yeah, but still...if I have to hook up with somebody then so do you.", I smiled. "Anyway...!", she giggled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Man, what in the hell are you smilin' at?", Jerome laughed as he happened to glance over at Marques who was in the driver's seat. They were on their way to meet Kelton and some more guys at the park to play a lil' ball.
"Juss thinkin' about this cute shawty that I pissed off today.", he chuckled with a shake of his head.
"What'cha do?", Jerome chuckled back while concentrating on the evening traffic.
"I grabbed the last copy of Prince’s new CD before she could. For a hot minute, I thought she was gonna clock me!", Marques laughed.
"You sure have a way with the females.", Jerome sighed with a roll of his eyes.
"Whateva!", Marques replied with a suck of his teeth. "I wish I coulda got her name though."
"For what?! Don't you rememba your blind date that you've been set up on for this weekend?"
"Yeah, I rememba. But that's all it's gonna be is a date. I'm only doin' it to keep yall foo's off my back!"
"Well from what Kelt's cousin told him, she said this girl would be perfect for you to hang out with."
"Aight, whateva you say.", Marques huffed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since tonight is Friday, Sylvia, Tamirah, and I decided to hang out at a popular nightclub in the area since we hadn't done so in a long while. And I must say we were all fly as hell! I was dressed in a zebra-print pull-on Baby Phat halter dress with a pair of black high-heeled sandals. Earlier in the day for my weekly hair appointment, I had my shoulder-length hair done in a wrap which softly framed my face. And to top things off, I had on just a hint of make-up. Besides, I ain't into the clown look. My natural beauty clearly speaks for itself just like it does for my big sis from what I noticed when she picked me up along with Tamirah.
Sylvia came strutting inside my place dressed in a spandex Apple Bottom denim skirt that dipped down on one side and came up on the other along with a red low-cut Apple Bottom t-shirt and a pair of red high-heeled mules. And she was wearing her hair in a wild 'fro similar to Free's. As far as her makeup, she only had on a hint of lip gloss and I noticed that she had dyed her eyebrows to match her bright-red hair. I'ono why that girl loves red so much, but I can't stand it. Only she can pull it off though.
Now my girl, Tamirah, went all out with her outfit. She was rocking a black one-piece J-Lo tube top jumpsuit that was trimmed in white along with a black pair of Manola Timbs. To complete her outfit, she was wearing a floppy-brimmed black Kangol that was pulled down over one of her eyes.
"You know what?! We are about to do some serious damage up in the club tonight!", she joked once we all took a look at each other.
Close to 45 minutes later when we arrived at the club, we took a seat at a table near the dance floor after being bugged by a few scrubs at the bar.
"Dang! I thought things would be jumpin' off in here tonight, but I think I was wrong or maybe I'm juss gettin' too old for this!", Sylvia laughed with a shake of her head while we had a few drinks.
"I know right! I thought it would poppin' off in here fo' sho'!", Tamirah agreed.
Several seconds later, as the three of us continued to laugh and chat, I noticed Kelton and Jerome walking inside along with a guy who seemed all too familiar to me.
"Ugggggh! There's the foo’ who pissed me off the otha day!", I huffed with a shake of my head.
"What are you talkin' about?", Tamirah laughed while watching me. I proceeded to tell her what had went down between us after pointing him out.
"Oh.", she slyly grinned before giggling.
"What's so funny?!", I grumbled while glaring at her.
"Nothin'.", she smiled. And like that she quickly changed the subject when she noticed Sylvia's ex. "Will you look who's here!"
"Who?", Sylvia asked while turning in her seat to look in the direction that Tamirah was looking in. Needless to say, my sister's jaw literally dropped to the floor before an evil look came over her face. "I'ono what I was thinkin' when I hooked up with his sorry ass!", she huffed after noticing Jarell sitting with his boy, DeMario.
"Girl, you want me to go knock his ass out for you?!", I joked while watching Sylvia's angry reaction.
"Nah. He's not worth it.", she sighed while throwing her hand up in his direction before turning back around in her chair. She and Jarell had been seeing each other for a lil' over a year when he decided to tell her that he needed some space. In reality, because of their age difference and because he wasn't ready to settle down, he wanted the single life back. That is until he realized the mistake he had made. Ever since then, he had been trying to win his way back into Sylvia's heart for the past few months, but she wasn't having it.

"Lemme go holla at Kel! I'll be back in a minute!", Tamirah smiled while standing to her feet. She felt the need to let him know not to blow the cover on something that I was unaware of.
Over the next few minutes, Sylvia and I continued to check out the scenery until a waitress brought over a bottle of Hypnotiq.
"We didn't ask for this.", I stated with a puzzled look.
"Actually, it was the guy over there.", she smiled while looking over in the direction of the guy I almost hated with a passion who was sitting at a table with Jerome.
"Uh uh...send it back!", I spat as I pushed it away.
"Oh no you don't! Juss 'cause you don't like him doesn't mean we can't be treated to somethin' nice!", Sylvia giggled after grabbing the bottle around its neck. "Tell him we said thanks."
"Okay.", the waitress agreed with a nod of her head before leaving our table.
"Why did you do that for?! I don't want nothin' from him!", I huffed with a shake of my head.
"Damn, girl! All this ova a friggin' CD?!", Sylvia laughed.
"It's not about the CD you ho'! It's the principality!", I snapped. But after thinking about it for a second, I couldn't help from laughing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Yo! I don't think ol' girl appreciated your friendly gesture!", Jerome laughed as he and Marques watched me and Sylvia from their table. However, Jerome was quite shocked but amused when he realized that I was the girl that Marques had told him about a few days ago since he knew that I was the one being set up on the date with him.
"That's aight. She'll come around sooner or later.", Marques grinned. "Uh oh...there goes your girl talkin' to Kelt!"
"Where?!", Jerome anxiously asked. It was no secret that he and Tamirah were feeling each other, but the both of them were shockingly too shy to let each other know exactly how they felt.
"Right there. She lookin' damn good too!", Marques smiled.
"That's for damn sure!", Jerome grinned while checking her out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "So when are you gonna hook me and your boy up?", Tamirah bashfully smiled while speaking with Kelton.
"Girl, I told you to go holla at him! You my fam and all but I ain't gonna get in the middle of somethin' with you and my boy.", he joked.
"I oughta crack you upside your head with this damn bottle!", she huffed while playfully grabbing up to a Remy Red bottle that was sitting at the end of the bar.
"Whateva! I keep tellin' him the same thing too. But yall are juss too damn hardheaded to listen.", he laughed.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, anyway...lemme get back ova here to my girls. I'll holla at'cha a lil' lata. Bye!"
"Aight, lata.", he replied with a head nod.
"How you doin', Mirah?", Jerome grinned as she walked past him and Marques.
"Hey, Romey. I'm coo'. Hey, Marq.", she bashfully smiled.
"Hey, girl. W'sup?", Marques grinned.
"Nothin' much. Juss thought I'd hang out with my girls tonight.", she smiled.
"Are they cute?", he grinned with a wink.
"Of course! You know I don't hang out with no homely hoes!", she joked. "But nah, seriously, they are. Wanna meet 'em?"
"Sure! You comin' man?", he asked Jerome while standing to his feet.
"Yeah.", he replied with a nod of his head while making it a point to walk next to Tamirah.
I was taking a sip of my drink while Sylvia was talking to me when I glanced up and froze in place. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Tamirah was heading back towards us with Jerome and his boy.
"Hey, yall!", she grinned once they reached us. "Marques, these are my friends…", she began before I quickly interrupted her.
“Kiki and Savannah.”, I replied while throwing our fake names on them while glaring at her. Evidently, Jerome knew the game I was playing because he began to chuckle with a shake of his head while rolling his eyes.
Sylvia greeted him with a smile while I replied with an empty hello.
Tamirah and Jerome proceeded to leave this Marques guy alone with us while she and Jerome went out onto the dance floor. Hmmmm…that’s funny that this guy has the same name as the guy I’m goin’ out on the blind date with tomorrow night. But hey, Marques is a common name, so oh well…
"So ummmm...I hope there are no hard feelings from the otha day?", he smiled while looking at me.
"No, none at all.", I sighed while sitting back in my chair.
"Is it okay if I sit down?", he asked although I noticed that he was already pulling out a chair to sit. My response to him was a shrug of my shoulders.
There was an awkward silence at our table while Glenn Lewis' "More and More" loudly played.
I pretended to inspect my fingernails although I was becoming a little uneasy around him because I found him to be quite a sexy being.
"Oh before I forget, thanks for the Hypnotiq.", I quietly stated.
"No problem. I figured I would give it to you as a peace offerin'.", he joked while watching me.
"Oh, okay.", I managed to smile. When it was evident that I didn't have anything else to say, he quickly excused himself from our table.
"I'm goin' to the bathroom right quick.", I announced to Sylvia after he left.
"Aight.", she replied with a nod of her head.
"Hey, Kyra!", a male voice happily stated as I was approaching the back of the club. When I looked to my right and saw that it was Jarell, I sucked my teeth and rolled my eyes at him.
"Damn! She and that sister of hers are some evil-ass females!", DeMario laughed with a shake of his head.
"I know right! But now that she's gone, I think I'ma go holla at Sylvia right quick. I'll be back.", Jarell laughed while standing to his feet.
"Aight, man. And don't worry, I got'cha back if she decides to kick your ass!", DeMario laughed.
"Whateva, n!gga!", Jarell huffed.

Sylvia was watching Tamirah and Jerome dancing when she felt a hand gently grab up to one of her hands that were resting on the table.
"Sup?", Jarell grinned as he proceeded to sit down in the chair next to her.
"Why don't you go somewhere?!", she huffed while quickly snatching her hand away after realizing it was him. She then turned in her chair so that her back was facing him.
"C'mon, ma. Why can't we leave what's in the past in the past?", he sighed as he scooted his chair closer to hers.
"You betta get away from me!", she warned without turning around to look at him.
"You know you miss me like I miss you.", he smiled.
"Do you have some sorta death wish or tonight or somethin‘?!", she snapped after turning around in her chair to glare at him.
"If it means gettin‘ you to come back to me, then yeah.", he grinned with a wink.
"n!gga, if you don't carry your stupid ass on somehwhere! I'm done with lil' boys like you once and for all!", she huffed as she threw her hand in his face while standing to her feet. She immediately walked away leaving him all alone.
"W'sup, girl?!", DeMario grinned as he headed over to Jarell as Sylvia stomped past him to go to the restroom.
"Yeah, whateva!", she replied with a shake of her head.
I was standing in front of one of the many mirrors running my fingers through my hair when I noticed Sylvia huffing and puffing as she came walking up next to me. "Yo, Kyra! Listen, I think I'ma go on home. I'm not really feelin' up to bein' here tonight.", she sighed.
"You know what? I feel the same way. Maybe Mirah can catch a ride home with Kelt or somethin'.", I replied.
"Aight. Let's go find her. I think she's still prolly dancin'.", Sylvia stated.
Once we stepped out of the bathroom, we saw her and Jerome heading over to a table where Marques and Kelton were sitting.
"Hey, girl! We're about to be out. Do you have anotha way to get home?", I asked her while trying to ignore Marques who was staring me down with a small smile.
"Yeah. I can catch a ride home with one of these knuckleheads.", she joked. "Is everything okay?"
"Oh yeah...but we're juss not feelin' this place.", Sylvia replied with a shake of her head.
"That's too bad.", Marques replied while looking back and forth at the both of us.
"Yeah. Well see ya lata, Mirah.", I stated while quickly waving goodbye to her.
"Aight, I'll see yall lata.", she replied while waving back at us.
"Damn, that man is juss too damn sexy!!!", I thought to myself as Sylvia and I exited the club. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Early the next morning, I received a call from Tamirah who had decided to do a three-way call with me and Sylvia.
"Hey, girl! Listen, now that I have you two on the line, I was wonderin' what was really up with yall last night?", she asked with concern in her voice.
"I juss wasn't feelin' the atmosphere.", I sighed with a shake of my head.
"Yeah, neither was I.", Sylvia replied.
"Oh, girl, please! You know you need to quit lyin'!", Tamirah laughed. "I ran into your boy after yall left, so I pretty much figured out why you wanted to leave. Am I right?"
"WhatEVA!", Sylvia chuckled.
"She know she still want him even if he is a sorry ass negro!", I joked while teasing my big sis.
"Shut up!", she giggled.
"So are you ready for your big night?", Tamirah smiled.
"I guess so.", I sighed. "Hopefully, ol' dude won't be so bad."
"I know he won't be. Trust your girl!", Tamirah giggled.
"Yeah, girl. I have a feelin' that he's gonna be the one for you.", Sylvia giggled as well.
"If yall don't shut up!", I laughed. We ended up talking for several more minutes until Tamirah received a beep. After quickly ending her call with us, she clicked over to her other line.
"Hello?"
"Hey...Mirah?", a male voice asked.
"Yes? Who is this?"
"It's Rome. How ya doin'?", he smiled.
"Oh, hi. I'm doin' aight. What about you?", she grinned.
"I'm coo'. Listen, I hope this isn't short notice, but I wanted to know if you wanted to go out with me tonight? I was talkin' to Marq a lil' while ago, and he wants me to have his back in case he wants to break out of his date early in case things don't work out well.", he chuckled.
"Ummmmmmmmm...wellll, I have a feelin' that won't happen, but sure...I'll go out with you.", she smiled.
"Aight, coo'...I'll come by to pick you up around 7.", he smiled back.
"Okay. Bye, Romey.", she bashfully grinned.
"Bye.", he replied.
"Wooooooooooo, lawd!!!!!", she happily exclaimed while falling back onto her bed once their call had ended. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Awwwwwwwwww...I feel like my firstborn is goin' out on her very first date!", Sylvia joked after dropping by my place to help me get ready to meet my blind date.
"Why don't you shut yo' silly ass up?!", I laughed as I glared at her from my dresser mirror as she stood behind me. She had just finished helping me to pin my hair up into a loose ponytail on top of my head. She had decided to leave me a few spirally tendrils on both sides of my head that she created with my large barrel curling iron. I must say I was very pleased with the finished work that she created.
"Okay...now rememba, if you need me don't hesitate to hit me up. You got me?", she smiled as she stood in my doorway several minutes later when I was ready to get this night over with.
"Aight, I'll rememba and thanks again.", I smiled before we shared a big hug.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a bowl of butter pecan ice cream and 'Cops'!", she joked. She then headed for her ride and went home.
"You'll be juss fine!", I encouraged myself as I climbed behind the wheel of my ride to head downtown to the new supper club/lounge that had recently opened. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Damn, your boy is nervous as a mug!", Tamirah laughed as she and Jerome sat at a candlelit table in the corner of the restaurant. She noticed how Marques kept his eyes glued to the entrance while wringing his hands.
"I know right. But enough about him. How do you stay lookin' so good allll the time?", Jerome smiled while staring at her across the table. She was dressed in a white silk pantsuit and her hair was full of bouncy spiral curls.
"Awwww...you need to stop.", she giggled out of shyness while holding her head downward.
"Nah, I'm serious. That's one of the first things that attracted me to you.", he replied with an approving nod of his head.
"Really?", she smiled after looking up at him.
"Yeah.", he smiled back.
"Well, you know...now that you've mentioned that, I guess it's safe to let you know that I've had the same attraction for you as well for a while now."
"Is that right?", he slyly grinned.
"Yup.", she stated with a nod of her head. Just then she happened to see me walking inside the restaurant and speaking with the hostess.
"Uh oh.", she thought to herself with a small smile.
"What is it?", Jerome asked while turning in his seat to see what she was smiling at. "Oh, she finally made it.", he chuckled.
"Yup...history is about to be made!", Tamirah joked. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Your guest is here, sir.", the hostess smiled after leading me over to my blind date's table. The moment he turned around, both his and my jaw dropped open at the same time. It was Marques!
"Ummm...th-thank you.", he nervously smiled after quickly standing to his feet while keeping his eyes glued on me.
Out of nowhere, I burst into a fit of laughter. "I'm sorry.", I apologized in between my laughing spell. However, he began to laugh as well.
"Whoa is all I can say. Here you go.", he laughed while pulling out a chair for me to sit down. "You look great!"
"Thank you.", I replied while continuing to laugh. "You do too." Which he did. He was dressed in a black sweater that clung to his nicely built chest and a pair of tan slacks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sylvia was in the middle of watching an old movie on BET starring Pam Grier whom she always said was her favorite black superhero, when her doorbell began to ring. She glanced at her watch and noticed that it was a little after 9:30.
"I know Kyra's date ain't ova that quick.", she mumbled to herself while heading for the door. However, she was in for a surprise when she opened it. Jarell was standing on her porch holding a dozen red roses and a bottle of champagne while looking sexy as ever dressed in a black Iveron jersey and a pair of baggy jeans.
"What the hell are you doin' here?!", she spat while glaring at him through the screen door.
"I wanna make things right between us. I'm tired of bein' without you.", he sighed. "Can I come in?"
"Hell no! Bye!", she huffed right before slamming the door in his face. Several seconds later after she sat back down on the sofa, she heard a light tapping on her front window.
"Sylvi-aaa! C'mon, ma! If I have to, I'll stay out here all night!", he whined.
"Fine...suit yourself!", she huffed while turning the volume up on the tv. However, he wouldn't give up of walking back and forth to her window and the front door for the next 5 minutes or so while tapping on each one.
"Rell, go home!", she yelled.
"My home is in your heart, boo.", he sincerely replied. This caught her off guard. Against her better judgment, she found herself opening the door.
"You have 3 minutes to talk and that's it!", she sighed once he stepped into her living room.
"Thanks, ma.", he grinned while leaning forward to kiss her. However, she put her hand up in his face to keep him from doing so.
"Time's tickin' away.", she huffed while folding her arms and glaring at him.
"Aight...well here, these are for you.", he smiled while handing her the roses.
She snatched them from him and threw them onto her desk before stomping over to her rocking chair where she sat while waiting for him to talk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "C'mon...let's go ahead and leave. It looks like things are workin' out well between those two.", Jerome smiled close to an hour later after witnessing how good Marques and Kyra were getting along.
"Okay. What did you have in mind?", Tamirah asked as they both stood to their feet.
"Wanna go down to the beach for a while?"
"Yeah, sure.", she smiled.
As they were walking past Marques' table, he and Jerome gave each other a small smile and headnod. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"It's so peaceful out here.", Tamirah sighed once she and Jerome began to walk barefoot along the beach a few minutes later.
After several minutes of doing this, Jerome asked if she wanted to go back to the car and listen to the radio for a while. She quickly agreed to it.
"The stars as so clear and beautiful.", she sighed as she sat in Jerome's arms while they sat on the hood of his ride.
"I know. And I think one fell to earth just for me.", he slyly smiled while tightening his arms around her.
Tamirah couldn't help from bashfully giggling. "You are so sweet."
He responded to her statement by leaning forward until his cheek was resting up against hers. Several seconds later, "Constantly" began to play on the radio.
"Awwwwwwww...I have always loved that song!", she sighed.
"I think of you everytime I hear it.", he quietly replied. "Is there any chance of us hookin' up?"
She leaned her face back far enough to give him a quick kiss on the lips. "Does that answer your question?", she smiled.
He answered her question with a kiss of his own that lasted a tad bit longer than hers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I couldn't believe the great time I was having with Marques. He wasn't as bad as I had made him out to be.
After dinner, we decided to go down to an all-night arcade after we both discovered that we were video game fanatics.
"Damn, girl! You sure you ain't cheatin'?!", he joked while we played "Streetfighter" against each other.
"Hey...if you can't hang that's on you!", I laughed as I continued to whip on him.
"Whateva!", he laughed back.
When we were done playing video games, we decided to play a round of laser tag. Needless to say, I got him good with this game as well. He must've thought that because I was rockin' my heels, I wouldn't be able to shut him down. After winning, I threw my gun to the ground.
"Now what!", I shouted while holding my arms up in victory.
"Oh, I got your ‘now what’!", he laughed before running towards me and picking me up. We both began to laugh non-stop. However, we soon stopped when we realized how close our faces were to one another. He slowly put me back on the floor. He then ran one of his fingers down the side of my face.
"I’m glad I decided to go through with this date tonight.", he smiled.
I cleared my throat before speaking. "Yeah, me too."
"Well, you ready to be out?"
"Okay.", I replied. We then headed out hand-in-hand.
He proceeded to follow me home and walk me up to my front door.
"So when can we go out again?", he smiled while leaning up against the wall as he stared into my eyes.
"Wheneva it’s a good time for you.", I replied with a bashful smile.
"Okay…well I’ll call you tomorrow and we can talk about it some more. G’night." Then he did it…he leaned forward and gave me a quick kiss.
"G’night.", I quickly replied while waving goodbye to him. "Drive home safely."
"Aight. Thanks.", he stated before climbing in his ride and leaving. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Several hours later while Sylvia was in bed with her back to Jarell, she couldn't help from feeling like a dummy. But she did have to hand it to herself...during her headboard banging time with him as well as being reminded of his uncanny talent for putting a Halls cough drop to good use, she managed to hold back on her feelings for him quite well. But now she was slowly losing the battle.
"Why you so quiet?", he whispered while snuggling up behind her. When she didn't answer him, he began to plant light kisses up and down her bare arm. When she felt him about to kiss her in her weak spot which was near the back of her neck, she spoke up.
"Stop it!", she huffed while nudging him away with her elbow. She quickly moved away from where he was lying.
"What's your damn problem?", he asked with a puzzled look although she kept her back to him.
"You are!", she snapped while snatching the covers away from him to wrap up in.
"I wasn't your problem a lil' while ago when you were damn near screamin' your head off!", he shouted after sitting up.
"Juss get out!", she sighed. Truth of the matter was what had happened between them earlier was good. No...great! And because of that, she was afraid that she was going to fall even harder for him this time around.
"Girl, you trippin'!", he chuckled while trying to pull her into his arms. However, that was the wrong thing to do. Sylvia grabbed a magazine that was on her nightstand.
"Get outta here, Rell!", she shrieked while continuously whacking him on his arms, chest, and shoulders with it after rolling it up.
"Fine! I'm gone!", he huffed after jumping up from the bed to get dressed. "I guess I would have to be a dumb ass to think we could pick up from where we left off."
"Basically!", she sobbed while pulling the covers up over her head.
After dressing, he was about to head for the door to leave when he turned back around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "So how did things go last night?", Kelton asked Marques as they began to play ball with Jerome down at the gym early the next morning.
"Pretty good! And guess who my date ended up bein' with?", he laughed.
"Who?", Kelton slyly smiled even though he already knew.
"Ol' girl that was pissed off with me! She was coo' last night though. We really hit it off."
"Glad to hear that!"
"Yeah, well...me and your cousin hit it off well too!", Jerome grinned after stealing the ball from Marques.
"Who, Mirah?", Kelton asked with a surprised look.
"Yup! We're hooked up now. That's my baby!"
"Awwwwwwww...ain't dat sweet!", Marques joked.
"Man, shut up!", Kelton laughed. "Long as he treats my cousin good that's all that mattas!"
"Trust me, man. I will.", Jerome smiled with a wink.
"So ummmm...when you gonna hook up with somebody, man?", Marques asked Kelton.
"Wheneva it happens. Ain't no big thang with me.", he replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I'ono. I saw how you was checkin' out Kyra‘s sis the otha night.", Jerome grinned.
"n!gga, you be seein' thangs. Besides, I think her and her ex are gonna prolly hook back up from what his boy was tellin' me Friday night after she and Kyra left.", he sighed while trying to make a basket. However, he missed.
"Oh, you talkin' 'bout that skinny ass guy, Rell? Man, ain't nobody payin' him no mind. And anyway, err'body knows that Sylvia kicked him to the curb a loooooong time ago.", Jerome huffed with a shake of his head.
"Well, I'm coo' with livin' the single life right now anyway.", Kelton replied. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast, Tamirah and I decided to drop by Sylvia's place to check on her. Earlier when I called to ask her to join us, she told me that she was feeling a lil' under the weather. "Who in the world is ova here this time of the mornin'?", Tamirah asked me when we both noticed a silver Benz parked in front of Sylvia's house. "I'ono. Maybe it's somebody who went across the street or somethin'.", I replied with a shrug of my shoulders as we both stepped out of my ride. A few minutes before our arrival, Sylvia had been talked into breaking Jarell off before he had to leave. However, when she heard me and Tamirah slam our car doors shut in her driveway which was directly under her window, she told him to stop. However, he misunderstood her command and thought this meant that he was taking her there and he continued to keep going. "Rell, get up!", she huffed while pushing him off of her with every ounce of strength she had. "Now what's wrong with you?!", he demanded to know. "I think somebody's here!", she whispered while proceeding to stand up from the bed and adjusting her t-shirt. Before he could grab her hand and pull her back down, she had already ran over to her window. "Oh sh!t! It's Kyra! You gotta go!" "Why?!", he asked with a bit of disappointment while shrugging his shoulders. Before she could answer, her doorbell was ringing. "Hurry up and put on your clothes!", she nervously whispered while throwing on her robe. She dashed out of the bedroom to answer the door. "Dang, girl! You look like hell!", I laughed once my big sis opened the door. She wasn't lying when she said she didn't feel good because she didn't look good either; especially with her hair going all over the place. "And good mornin' to you too!", she snapped as she quickly stepped to the side to let us in. "Ummmm...what are yall doin' out so early on a Sunday mornin'? It's only a lil' after 8:30. When you said yall were goin' to breakfast, I thought you meant brunch maybe." "Is there some law that says we can't go out to eat when we feel like it?", Tamirah laughed as she strolled over to the loveseat to sit down. "No, I didn't say all that! It's juss...", she began when the three of us heard something like a door closing in the back. "What was that?", I asked with a puzzled look on my face while looking at Sylvia. "Huh? Oh nothin'! Must've been the wind or somethin'.", she stammered. "Ain't no damn wind blowin'!", Tamirah replied with a suck of her teeth. "You sure you aight?" "Yeah! I'll be right back!", Sylvia quickly replied as she turned around to head down the hallway. Her intentions were to go to the back to quickly explain to Jarell that she was going to have to sneak him out of the house once she could get me and Tamirah to go into the kitchen. However, he met her at the end of the hallway. Tamirah and I both gave each other a look of surprise followed by a look of disgust. "Listen, I'ma head out for now, but I'll call you lata. And thanks again for hearin' me out last night and for...", he slyly grinned while wrapping his arms around her waist before glancing around her and noticing us staring at them. "Oh hey, yall! W'sup?" Tamirah gave him a weak wave while I continued to look at him while folding my arms. "Bye, Rell.", Sylvia quickly stated while walking him to the front door. "Bye, ma.", he replied while giving her a light kiss on the cheek. "See yall lata!", he smiled while waving at us before walking outside. "Okay, you know I'm gettin' ready to run my damn mouth!", I huffed while glaring at Sylvia when she turned back around. "Not before I do!", Tamirah snapped. "Girl, I know you ain't let that sorry ass n!gga hit it so he can quit it again?! Please tell me that I'm wrong!" "Ya know!", I agreed as the two of us watched her closely. But instead of answering us, Sylvia slowly walked over to her desk and sat down in front of it while pulling a single rose from it's wrapper. "Yall don't undastand." "Oh I undastand! You let him sweet talk his way back into your draws last night didn't you?!", I angrily asked while glaring at her. Tamirah began to laugh. "Look, we had a long talk last night and everything is cool now! Aight?! Damn!", she huffed as she jumped up from her chair to go into the kitchen. Of course Tamirah and I followed her. "Yall want any coffee?", she quietly asked when she heard us sit down at the table behind her while she put her coffeemaker on. "Nope! We want a damn explanation!", I snapped. "That discussion is ova!", she snapped back after whirling around to glare at me. "Oh, like your relationship will be once AGAIN with Rell!", I shouted out of anger. "Well damn!", Tamirah huffed with a shake of her head when she saw the pissed off look that came across Sylvia's face. Thinking quick so that things wouldn't get more out of hand than they already were, she decided to share something with her. "Romey and I are togetha now as of last night!", she stated with a small grin. "Fo' real?", Sylvia asked as a big smile suddenly spread across her face. "Yeah. Come to find out, our feelings for each other have been mutual all along.", she blushed. "Awww...how sweet!", Sylvia chuckled as she sat down next to me and Tamirah. "I know right! But it's too bad you couldn't share our girl's good news ova breakfast this mornin' since you were BUSY pretendin' to be unda the weather. You was definitely UNDA somethin' alright!", I huffed while still being angry over how my big sister was about to make that sorry ass Rell make a fool out of her once again. "Why you gotta spoil the damn moment?!", Sylvia huffed while quickly glancing over at me. "Will yall two please shut up and kill that sh!t already?! Dang!", Tamirah huffed with an evil look while glaring back and forth at the both of us. "Oh you juss wanna go on talkin' about your Romey that's all!", I joked with a roll of my eyes. "Well it's about damn time that I got to say more than what I did at breakfast since you wouldn't shut up talkin' about ‘Marques this and Marques that‘!", Tamirah laughed while mocking me. "Marques? It wouldn't be the same Marques that we bumped into at the club the otha night would it?", Sylvia laughed while watching me closely. The only thing I could do was blush before bursting out in a series of giggles. Afterwards, I finally managed to say yes. Over the next hour or so after Sylvia and I made up, the three of us shared a nice time together chatting about things in general after I had gone on and on once again about Marques. But hey, I couldn't help it even if we had only been out once so far. [glow=yellow,2,300]***Part 2 Comin' Soon***[/glow]
