[glow=red,2,300]I can truly say/Its not everyday/Someone makes me feel this way[/glow] After several more months, my Marques has finally made it! Tonight, he would be holding an album release party at the popular club downtown where we met for a second time before actually going out with each other. On our way to the party, we dropped by Sylvia's place to pick her up. However, when I went to the door, she wasn't even dressed! "Sylvia?! What are you doin' in those funky pj's?!!! You know we're all supposed to be goin' ova to the club tonight for the release party!", I angrily huffed as I followed her into the living room. "I don't feel up to it.", she sighed as she sat down on the sofa. I knew that she was still a lil' depressed over what happened between her and Rell, but I wasn't going to sit by and watch her wallow around in self-pity. I wanted the Sylvia back that was used to having fun without a care in the world. "Sylvia, you know I love you, but I'm not gonna sit by and watch you mope around over a foo' that isn't worth it!", I replied with a shake of my head as I sat down beside her. "Now hurry up and get dressed so we can leave." Evidently, I didn't know the power of my own words because Sylvia began to cry while leaning forward and burying her face in her hands. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you cry, but I just want the old Sylvia back. That's all.", I sighed as I placed my arm around her shoulder. "No, it's not you. I'm juss tryna figga out what's wrong with me or where did I go wrong for this mess to happen to me, not once, not twice, but THREE times?!", she sobbed as she leaned over and placed her head on my shoulder. Before Jarell had come along, she was in one other serious relationship where the same thing had happened to her. "There was and never will be anything wrong with you, girl. If anything, it was Antonio and Rell that had issues, not you. And you know what else? I think this happened so that someone even betta can come along for you.", I smiled. "Yeah, right.", Sylvia chuckled. "I'm serious, girl. Plus I think it's already happenin' for you. I'm not sayin' no names, but a lil' birdy told me that someone we're both familiar with juss may be the one.", I giggled while referring to Kelton. "Whateva!" "Aight, don't believe me then!", I teased. "But c'mon and hurry up like I told your crazy self so we're not late. I don't want to keep my boo waitin' any longer than I have to!" "Oh hush!", Sylvia smiled as she stood up to get ready. While waiting on her to get ready, I went back outside and joined Marques in his ride. "Where's Sylvia?", he asked with a puzzled look. "She's gonna be out in a few. I had to give her a pep talk first though.", I smiled. "Oh. She's still down in the dumps ova ol' boy?", he sighed. "Yeah, you can say that. But she'll be fine." "Coo'. So ummmm...what are we supposed to do until she gets out here? You and I both know how long she can take at times to get ready?", he chuckled with a shake of his head. "Ohhhh...I'm sure we can think of somethin'.", I slyly grinned as I took a hold of his hand. "Don't you start nothin' out here.", he grinned although we were both already leaning towards each other. For the next several minutes, we kissed and made out until we heard some light tapping on his window. It was Sylvia. "Ummmm...if yall are about done, I think we can leave now!", she huffed while placing her hands on her hips. "Oh damn! Our bad!", Marques laughed as he unlocked the doors so she could get in. As soon as she climbed in the backseat she looked at me while shaking her head. I couldn't help from laughing.

Once we arrived at the club, it was filled to capacity. However, we were able to spot Tamirah, Jerome, and Kelton as soon as we stepped inside because they were seated at the bar while waiting on us.
"Dang! It took yall long enough to get here!", Tamirah joked as she exchanged hugs with us.
"It's your girl's fault!", I joked while pointing at my big sister.
"Anyway...!", she huffed while throwing her hand in my face in a playful manner.
After we had made our way over to the VIP section, the DJ began to play Marques' CD. We noticed how everyone seemed to be enjoying it which was a good sign. Several minutes later, Marques came over to us and asked me to join him so he could introduce me to some people.
"So how have you been?", Kelton asked Sylvia as they sat next to each other once he gathered the courage to make small talk with her.
"I've been doin' okay.", she faintly smiled.
"That's good.", he replied with a nod of his head. When an awkward silence lingered between them, Tamirah spoke up.
"Yeah, doesn't she look nice?", she smiled while winking at Sylvia. Slyvia proceeded to give her a "cut it out" look before blushing.
"Yeah, she does.", Kelton smiled. "But then again, that's always."
"Awwwww!", Jerome and Tamirah playfully sighed at the same time before chuckling.
"Don't make me get ugly in here!", Sylvia joked with a roll of her eyes. "It won't take much effort on your part as far as that goes!", Jerome joked.
"Mirah...you are about to be without a man!", Sylvia laughed while glaring at Jerome.
"I know right!", Kelton laughed as well.
"Girl, you know I'm only playin'!", Jerome winked with a devilish grin.
“Ummmm...how about we go dance for a lil' while?", Tamirah grinned while taking a hold of Jerome's hand while looking at Sylvia.
"Aight, ma. We'll be back in a lil' while, yall.", he smiled as he and Tamirah headed onto the floor.
"I'm sorry I haven't seen you in a while to tell you how sorry I am that things didn't work out between you and Rell.", Kelton stated after he and Sylvia were left alone at the table.
"Thanks, but I think it's for the best.", she faintly replied before taking a sip of her drink.
"Yeah, I guess you're right.", he smiled while looking at her.
"So how have you been?", she asked while giving him a quick sideways glance.
"I've been coo'. Juss hangin' out with my boys most of the time in the studio as always while finishin‘ up Marq‘s album."
"Oh...well there's nothin' wrong with that."
"Nah.", he smiled.
For several minutes, he and Sylvia continued to talk until something grabbed both of their attention.
"Is that Kyra?", Sylvia asked while stretching her neck to look towards the front of the club while shielding her eyes with her hand.
"Yeah! I didn't know she could sing!", Kelton chuckled while casually throwing his arm across the back of Sylvia's chair.
They watched me as I surprised Marques by singing my own rendition of "Constantly" to him as my way of showing just how much he meant to me and how proud I was of him.
"It's nice to see my baby sis so happy.", Sylvia sighed out loud.
"Look at how my boy cheesin'!", Kelton laughed while pointing Marques out as he stood in front of the stage while watching me.
"I know right! They're so cute togetha! Looky dur!", Sylvia chuckled.
After I finished singing, I proceeded to share a big hug with Marques before we ended up also sharing a passionate kiss not caring about who was around us.
“Good job, lil’ sis!”, Sylvia joked when she and Kelton made their way over to me and Marques several minutes later. “But you coulda at least told a sista that you could blow like that!”
“My bad, my bad!”, I joked.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah…whateva you say!”, she laughed. “But anyway, I was comin’ through to let you know that I’m gonna go ahead and leave. Kelt’s gonna drop me off at home.”
“Aw c’mon and hang out a lil’ longer!”, Marques joked as he threw his arm across my shoulder while looking at Sylvia.
“Nah, I’ma have to take a raincheck. But listen, I’m happy that you’re finally out there…congratulations!”, she smiled as she gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
“Thanks.”, he half-blushed before glancing over at me. “C’mon, ma. I think it’s about time to sit down and relax for a while.” He and I proceeded to head over to the VIP section.
“Girl, I’m so glad I caught you!”, Tamirah exclaimed after reaching Sylvia as she and Kelton began to make their way over to the exit.
“Why, what’s wrong?!”, Sylvia asked.
“Rome and I just saw Rell and he wanted to know if you were here!”
“And what did you tell him?!”
“I told him it was none of his damned business!”, Tamirah snapped while placing her hands on her hips.
“Good lookin’ out, girl!”, Kelton laughed as he shared a pound with her.
“Ya know!”, she laughed back.
However, Sylvia stood there with a somewhat sad look on her face.
“You okay?!”, Tamirah asked while watching her.
“Huh? Oh yeah…I’m straight!”, she replied with a forced chuckle and a nod of her head.
“You sure?”, Kelton asked while taking a hold of her hand and watching her as well.
“Yeah, I’m…fine.”, she sighed before her voice trailed off. Looking past Tamirah, her and Jarell’s eyes met at the same time. She watched as he quickly headed in her direction.
“Oh HELL no!”, Tamirah snapped when she turned around and saw him walking up behind her.
“Let’s be out!”, Kelton replied with a suck of his teeth as he continued to hold onto Sylvia’s hand.
“Wait! Just gimme five minutes!”, Jarell pleaded as soon as he saw them turn and walk away. Sylvia immediately stopped in her tracks even though she didn’t turn around for several seconds.
“Are you sure?”, Kelton asked as he took her other hand while looking at her.
“Yeah.”, she sighed with a nod of her head. She proceeded to turn around to face Jarell.
“Thanks, ma.”, he faintly smiled while trying to take her hand to pull her to the side. However, Sylvia held her hands up and away from him as a signal that she didn’t want to be touched.
“We got’cho back girl!”, Tamirah shouted as they walked a couple of feet away from them.
“Listen…I know that nothin’ I say is gonna make things better between us, but I did want to tell you goodbye.”, he stated.
“Goodbye? Where are you goin’?”
“I’m movin’ up to Northern Cali to take over my dad’s business. That’s why I had been tryna call you for the past few weeks to let you know even though I understand why you wouldn‘t accept any of my calls. But is it okay to get one last hug?” The look on his face showed that he was sincerely sorry for everything he had taken Sylvia through.
“Yeah, I guess so.”, she sighed as she wiped at the tears forming in her eyes. However, as soon as she and Jarell shared a tight embrace, she couldn’t stop her flow of tears as everyone around them swayed to Ruben Studdard’s “What If”. Once they let go of each other, she turned around and left out of the club with Kelton without looking back. In the meantime, Jarell stood in the middle of the floor while watching them disappear behind the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Over the next several weeks, Marques and I spent every waking moment together since he was about to do a promo tour. On our last night together, we stayed up half the night just holding each other. “I’m gonna miss you so much.”, I sighed as I laid in his arms. “You know I’ma miss you too. But I’ll be back home in no time at all.”, he smiled as he planted a light kiss on top of my head. “I hope so.”, I giggled. “What’s so funny?”, he smiled while looking down at me. “I’m just thinkin’ back to how we first met. I’m tellin’ you…I wanted to belt you good for what you did.”, I chuckled. “I could tell from that sexy pissed off look on your face that you wanted to.”, he laughed. “It’s a good thing that I didn’t though because your face is too crute to mess up.”, I teased as I sat up to kiss him on the tip of his nose. “Crute, huh? I’ma show you just how crute I can get!”, he laughed as he pulled me into his arms. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Thanks so much for these last few weeks.”, Sylvia smiled as she and Kelton sat together on her sofa. “Ain’t no thang. I’ve really enjoyed bein’ around you.”, he smiled back as he took a hold of one of her hands. Sylvia couldn’t help from blushing. “Well, I guess tomorrow’s the big day for you and your boys.”, she faintly smiled as she looked up at him. He and Jerome were going to help Marques out on his tour. “Yeah…I’ma make sure that I call you every chance that I get.” “That’ll be coo’.” “I know right. Sylvia?” “Yes?” “Would it be wrong if I did this?” “Did what?”, she asked with a puzzled look. He answered her question by leaning over and sharing a brief kiss with her. “There wasn’t a thing wrong with that as far as I’m concerned.”, she smiled when he pulled away. “I’m glad to hear that.”, he grinned as he laid back on the sofa while pulling her into his arms. They both listened to the radio and talked until the wee hours of the morning asleep until he had to head home in order to leave with the guys during the early part of the next day.
