~A few hours before her call to Leo~

"He rented out Madison Square Garden for you?" Josh questions. I asked him to come over so I could catch him on everything that's been going on between Leo and me. "And he's the first man ever to make you orgasm?"

"Yes Josh, but I didn't tell him that," I laugh. "I felt like I was in heaven." The way Leonardo used his tongue and his fingers were unlike anything I've ever had before.

I haven't had sex since I was maybe eighteen or nineteen, but I did touch myself every now and then. It obviously wasn't as satisfying, so when Leonardo worked his magic on me, I instantly knew I wanted more. I want more of him. I want him.

"I bet you're happy you took that date huh?" he questions.

"Hell yeah! Ugh, he makes me forget about my past and I feel so appreciated."

There's a common misunderstanding between love and want. I know that Leonardo doesn't love me yet, but he makes it clear that he wants me. Not sexually, but he wants to spend time with me. He wants to get to know me. He wants to be around me. And that feeling is way better than someone telling you they love you when they don't even mean it.

"I'm so happy for you! What do the others think?" he asks.

"I haven't told them yet. Amari has been MIA, Jada and Skylar have been busy, plus lately, you're the person I trust the most," I confess. "My gut is telling me to keep this to myself too, and you of course," I finish off as we laugh.

"I understand, but your secret is safe with me boo," he assures me.

We continue to talk about him and how he's doing when my phone rings all of the sudden. I pick up when I see that it's Amari.

"Hey girl, how have you been?" I start off.

"I've been good. I have something to tell you, can I come over?" She asks. I look over at Josh and he nods yes.

"Yeah, I'm not doing anything right now, but Josh is here," I reply.

"You didn't tell me you were hanging out with Josh," she says with jealousy in her voice. "Why wasn't I invited?" she questions.

"It was a spontaneous visit but you told me you went back to Washington for a little bit, so I didn't know you were back yet."

"Oh," yeah Amari, OH. "Well anyway, I'll be there soon," she finishes as she hangs up.

Josh and I give each other a knowing look and start to laugh. "That was weird," we say at the same time.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going with her. She's been distant lately and she barely talks to me." Amari and I used to talk about everything and now, it feels like I don't even know her anymore.

"Me too, like she has some kind of secret."

"Yeah, but she'll explain herself when she's ready. Plus she said she had something to tell me, so maybe she'll spill the beans then," I say hoping.

"Yeah, maybe."

About ten minutes later, I hear a knock on my door. I got up from the couch to open it and I never expected to see Amari with him.

Zane.

Kyle's brother.

What was she doing with him?

Not that I care, but this dude always gave me the creeps. When I was with Kyle, he'd always try to touch me and even once told me that I chose the wrong brother. Bottom line, he makes me extremely uncomfortable and Amari knows that. So why would she show up with him at my home?
