ALL MINE 2

"Bitch?" Solana reiterated with a scowl.

"That's what I said." Misha countered as she eyed Solana. "That's right. Stay your ass right there because I'm going to deal with you too."

Solana waved her off and headed for the door until she pulled back by Misha. Being pulled by her shirt made her furious. Solana turned around and swung on her. The punch connected to Misha's face, causing her to push back. Instead of leaving her alone, she went to hit Solana again.

"Chill." Andrew tried coaching Misha. He pushed her back, trying to end the fight. Steve showed up and asked if everything was okay.

"Take her outside." Andrew told his boy.

"I'm not going no where!" Misha proclaimed. She argued and pushed away, trying to escape, but Steve wouldn't let go of her. "Get your hands off of me."

"This is crazy." Steve glanced at his boy as he used his strength to pull Misha away.

Andrew closed the door behind him and pinpointed Solana who was standing there with a frown on her face. She was untouched but that didn't stop her from being upset about the situation. She was forced to take up for herself and had no idea what was going on between Andrew and Misha.

"I'm sorry about that." Andrew stated while touching the right side of his face. "She got me good. A nice punch. Are you okay?"

"I need to leave." Solana rasped as she tried inching towards the door. He stepped up, blocking her way. Solana's eyes narrowed in suspension as she remained silent.

"I know this shit looks crazy..." Andrew responded in a thick southern drawl. "But I can explain."

Solana sighed before saying, "You don't have to explain anything to me."

"Nah, I have to." He objected as he tried to grab her hand. She pulled away and decided to cross her arms. Andrew was offended but didn't say anything. "Misha and I aren't dating."

"It's obvious that you two are doing something." Solana replied. "It's none of my business though. That's why I'm leaving."

"I um..." Andrew trailed off, feeling overwhelmed by everything.

"Andrew." Solana cut him off. She didn't want to hear his explanation. The damage was already done, and there was nothing he could do to fix it. "You don't have to explain yourself."

Brushing the situation off wasn't that easy for Andrew. He'd just been exposed and felt it would destroy his chance of taking his relationship further with Solana. He looked around in curiousness as he tried to keep himself together. Blowing up would only cause more damage.

"Just hear me out-please." Andrew pleaded with her. He touched her shoulder, and Solana moved away, not wanting him to touch her. He sighed again before saying, "If you're wondering...yes, I was seeing Misha."

"If you're interested in other women, why are you trying to pursue me?" Solana questioned him.

"Me and you are just talking. We're not serious yet."

"I don't socialize with men who talk to other women. Serious or not."

"That's just not logical." Andrew frowned, not understanding her mindset.

"I think I better go." Solana muttered before trying to walk around him. Suddenly, she was halted by a strong force. She glanced at her left hand and realized Andrew was holding her wrist. Solana brought her eyes to the hefty man and studied his facial expressions with her widened eyes.

Andrew looked distressed yet irritable about her dismissing him and wanting to leave. He feared she would run off and never speak to him again.

"Stay." Andrew pushed out in more of a forceful tone. "Let me make it up to you. This really isn't that serious because we're not-"
