--Keilani's P.O.V--

I don't wanna fall to fast but when it came to Zachariah, I couldn't help myself but to fall for him. He's so damn handsome and there was something about him that really caught my attention. He was different and I liked different. It's been 6 days since Zach and I have been talking, hanging out and I honestly couldn't help myself from falling for him. "Why do you act so hard?" I remember asking him the first night, He took me out. "It's not an act ma." He replied with a straight face.

"I think it's an act and honestly, you don't gotta do it around me." I told him.

"I can't stop you from thinking what you want." He shrugged.

"Right. So are you gon tell me what you do?" I asked him. Trying to change the subject since he looked like he wasn't gonna stop acting hard.

"Why you wanna know?" He asked.

"Like I told you last night, if we're talkin. I gotta know what you do." I looked at him.

"Well, I'm not ready to tell you what I do just yet. Can we talk about something else?" He replied.

"I guess, you wanna be thug."

"Did you just call me a, wanna be thug girl?"

"Yeah. You acting hard and shit."

"Ha! Wow. Look, like I told you. I ain't tryna fall in love."

"And why is that?"

"Because love ain't for me. Tried it before and it didn't work so I gave up."

"Maybe cause the right person hasn't come around yet." I looked at him, licking my lips.

"Oh really? And you think you might be her?" He stared at me.

"I know I am her. Give me sometime Zach and I'll have your heart in the palm of my hands." I smirked as he looked at me shaking his head.

"Haha! Right. Keep dreaming shawty." He replied.

I could see Zach for what he really was and that was a sweetheart. Maybe he's been in some situations that forced him to protect his heart and I could understand why he did it but I could also see his soft heart. I was determine to have his heart in the palm of my hands. Just watch......

|Niyah's P.O.V |

My Birthday in 3 days and I didn't know what I wanted to do for it. My mom offered to throw me a sexy 19 birthday party and I don't know how my dad would take it. My dad has a closer relationship with my little brother and sister then he has with me. Why? Because I don't listen to him. I completely understand why he's so tough on me though. I'm the oldest and sometimes I don't act like it. I used to be Daddy's little girl growing up and now my dad barely pays attention to me. The only time he sees me, is when I'm doing something he doesn't agree with. It all started when I was 16 years old and started dating Jermaine. Words started getting around to my dad that I was dating when he specifically told me that I wasn't allow to date until I was done with high school. Jermaine came to him and mom had a talk with him about how he couldn't stop me from this. It's either I do it and he knows about it or I do it behind his back and ever since that day, Things have been different between us. I became a rebel after that. Started sleeping at Jermaine's apartment, lying saying that I was with my other siblings (cousins) when I was really with Jermaine but this year. I decided that I'd change that. I wanted my daddy back.

It was 9:03 am, when I woke up and looked at my phone. 6 missed calls and 10 text messages. Welcome to the life of Niyah. "Ugh! People don't yall know I need my beauty sleep?" I said to myself as I got out of bed and made my way into the bathroom. After I brushed my teeth and washed my face, I made my way downstairs. "It's Saturday... Dad's leaving for a 2 day business trip." I remembered and rushed downstairs. "Good Morning sunshine" Kenny said as I walked into the kitchen. "Hey Boo" I smiled at Kenneth. I took a seat at the table with the rest of my family. "Good Morning Family." I said as I reach for the cereal."
