"You're chocolate on my tongue."
-NAO 'Apple cherry'

*Stephens POV*

Literally, I need to get myself together. I'm not about to fight anyone over a girl. If Hakeem wants her, he can have her. I need to stop acting foolish. Hakeem is my brother. I should never let a girl come in between us. I need to just settle down and focus on the task at hand. I'm not here for marriage, I'm not even here for love. I can look for that when the plan is done.

Knock knock

I groaned when there was a knock at the door, throwing the covers off of me. Shuffling my feet to the door. I take a deep breath before I open it because, do I really want company?

I soon realized that this person isn't gonna stop knocking and I quickly opened the door. Behind it was the lady lingering in my thoughts. And everything I had previously said almost went out the window but I had to stand my ground.

She flipped her hair, and gave me a nice smile.  I returned it.

"Hey you." she begins. 

"Hey... " I said trying not to sound excited. When I seen her face, I though she was coming to actually see me, but something in her voice sounded like she had another agenda.

"Have you seen Klay? Did he come Here?" she asks.

I knew it.

"No, I actually have not seen him.  He hasn't been here all day."

"Ohhh, okay.." she looked into my eyes and I stared back in to hers. I guess to see if she could tell I'm lying. Which I'm not.

"Well yeah, is there anything else you need?" I asked, trying to sound as impatient as I could. I think it kind of hurt her feelings.

"Oh yeah.. What time is our date?" This was the million dollar question. Was I gonna still go out with her or let her get away?

"The date is off." and as much as it hurt me, I closed the door in her face.

Maybe I am being dramatic. Here I am still standing with my hand on the door knob, staring at the door.  I want to open the door and smile,  then be like "I was just kidding." but I can't do that because, I know that when I open this door, she'll be gone.

I can't let myself get caught up in a girl that doesn't like me. I pretty much, ruined any chance I had with her & I'm okay with that.

For now.

*Tae's POV*

When he closed the the door in my face I felt like he just broke it off the hinges and started beating me with it. When someone hurts my feelings my whole body starts to ache, it's like every bone inside of me wants to make itself known. That feeling makes me want to throw the biggest tantrum. Totally princess of me right? But I really don't care. I started to take an interest in Stephen and he played me. Lesson learned, never again.

I already feel like I'm about to crumble into a million tiny pieces because I've seen Alejandro for the first time in like 2 years. It was awkward, he has a girlfriend... That ship has sailed. He invited me to go out for coffee and "catch up" But coffee has gotten me into enough trouble today. Apparently, he's been here for about a month, and would like for us to be friends...Yeah right. If I wanted to ruin a relationship, I would have been all over Stephen's fine ass. Oops! I hate him again... I forgot. There's no doubt that I still love Alejandro, I felt it when I looked into his eyes and I probably always will.. But I'd rather stay away from that one.
