I Want The Smoke

"Welcome to Bringston" Jordan said with a smile. "I can't wait to see my fiancé. "I'm dying for the food" Spencer was looking around. "Really Spence?" Jordan chuckled. "No lie, me too" Liv and Spencer both laughed. "You guys, hello.." he waved in their faces. "What about Simone?" He said. "Of course we're excited to see Simone but HBCU food hits differently" Liv told her twin brother. "And the parties is where it's at" Spencer added. "I'll be sure to hold you close this time around so Keshia doesn't try to steal you" Olivia held onto Spencer's arm. "No worries, she's into Cam" Spelivia made a disgusted face. "Surprisingly he's not as bad. He grew up from the high school days" Jordan told them. "Wow. That's a shocker and hard to believe since he was such a jerk especially to Spencer" she caressed his arm. "It's all good. People change, look at us. We're not the same people from Beverly and Crenshaw. We're different so I guess Cam can change too. Maybe Keshia brings out the best in him" Spencer told her. "She certainly does. Anyway, let's go" Jordan said.

Jordan's POV

I can't lie, I'm nervous. Things have been different between me and Simone lately. This whole distant thing is taking a toll on our relationship. I've grown to be so close to Layla . We have always had a good friendship but things have been different between us lately. I confide in her more than my own fiancé. And if Simone finds out what happened last night between me and Layla, she would leave me most likely. I guess it's our little secret...

Keshia met up with Jordan and Spelivia to lead them to Simone. She was on the tennis court preparing for a game. "This should be an easy win for your girl" Jordan wasn't really listening because his eyes was on his fiancé who was stretching on the tennis court. "By the way, my bad about the last time. I knew you two had a thing for each other" Keshia said to Spelivia. "At the time we didn't" Olivia couldn't convince her. "Sure. Keep telling yourself that girl" Spencer chuckled at Keshia because he knows she's right. JR was sitting in the bleachers when Damon came over and sat down next to him. "Hey man.." JR sat up uncomfortably. "Hey.." JR mumbled. "Look I hate how things have been lately between us. I know it's mostly my fault but you're my brother regardless. I know Thea told you about me being her biological brother..." he trailed off. "What makes you think she told me" JR mumbled. "Because you like each other" Damon said with JR freezing up. "You don't have to deny it. Before I knew Thea was my sister, I've been protective of her. Now that I know we're family I'm even more protective. But I know if anybody should date her is you. You're a good dude. She deserves that after what Kevin did—" JR looked at him confused. "What did Kevin do?" Damon realized that JR doesn't know. He thought Thea would've told him about Kevin almost taking advantage of her when she was drunk and Damon saved her. "Damon what did Kevin do?" Thea was going to warm up with Simone but stopped when she saw Damon and JR. "Hey guys" Damon was relived that she interrupted their conversation. "Hey Sis" he stood up to give her a hug.
