Erin and I were dancing to a slow song.

"I'm a drug dealer." She looked surprised. "I work with Jamal, Dot, Tre, and a bunch of other boys." She looked at Jamal. "One of our biggest buyers is in town. My brother with the dreads works with him. The girl you saw hanging on to me is our buyer's daughter. I don't want her. They're people from New York. We have a meeting with a lot of people at One. I just need you to do me a favor."

"A favor? Anything." That surprised me.

"My brother's girlfriend is here as well. She needs a place to wait until he gets back. Can she hang with you?"

"Sure. What about that other girl?"

"She'll be at the meeting."

"I don't like her." She was pouting. Jennifer Hudson was playing. It was her song "Giving Myself" I just stared at Erin. She was so beautiful. "What are you staring at?" I kissed her. Her lips movedf in sync with mine. Jennifer was hitting her note and I felt sparks. I pulled away and she looked at me with dreamy eyes.

"Ready to go?" I asked. She nodded. I called Chaz. "We're Leaving."

"Right behind you." All four of us stepped outside in the chilly air. We walked to my house. I introduced Erin to them.

"He's like the darkskin version of you," she said. They laughed.

        Chaz and I changed clothes. I gave Erin one of my sweatshirts and we walked them to her house. This was going to be the hard part.

"I'll be back," Andre whispered. He picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waist. He kissed me softly. I hugged him tight. He kissed me again. "I love you Erin."

"I love you too." He put me down and I looked at Alisha and Chaz. She was crying. I walked over to them and put my arms around Alisha. "I'll take care of her," I told Chaz.

"Thanks Erin." He kissed her then ran to Andre's truck. I walked Alisha up to my room. I kept Andre's sweatshirt on and slipped on some pajama shorts. Alisha was sitting on my couch.

"Your house is just like mine."

"Really? That's cool." She looked down. "You're too pretty to be shy. Come sit by me. Tell me about yourself." She sat in front of me indian style. I listened to her love story about Chaz. Her best friend slept with him and was now having his baby. She hasn't fully forgiven him, but she still loves him. I told her my story. She seemed like a great girl.

"Chaz would always sneak in my room to let me know he was safe." I smiled. "I wish you stayed in NY, I need a friend that's a girl."

"Same here. I have two friends that are girls, but you seem different than them. Way better."

"Well girlie, do you Insta with new friends?"

"Do I!?" We laughed and took goofy pictures. She's like the sister I never had. We talked more and she drifted off to sleep.  I was getting sleepy myself. My mind wondered to Andre. He told me he loved me. We were best friends, so that was okay right? He just looked at me different. That man was too sexy for his own good.
