Cupid's Crooked Bow | COMPLETE

Chapter | 26

Up all night, can't let go
Won't stop trying, need you to know
It's worth the fight, if I get back home
Hope you don't mind I waited
Would you mind if I wait right here?

And I really, really, wanna love you
And I'm really, really, only yours
Even if it don't last forever, I wanna let you know
We really had something special, it's hard tryna let it go
I'm just being honest, I'm still in the moment

Would you mind if I still loved you?
Would you mind if things don't last?
Would you mind if I hold onto
You so that I won't crash?

I'm not thinking 'bout nobody else but you
You're the only one who takes me there
...

Crash- Usher

"I really don't wanna be up in some club," Tonaya sighed as Mariah pushed her to the bathroom.

"This aint for you, it's for Willow," Mariah reminded.

They were all finally in the same city. Willow and August were there and ready to finally celebrate their engagement with their friends.

Tonaya would've been stoked if things hadn't been so dark for her. She actually was happy for Willow and August. She just wasn't sure if that would show on her face with everything that had been happening to her.

"What time did she say we need to meet up?" Tonaya ran the water in the shower.

Mariah looked at the time on her watch. Yes, she was already dressed beautifully for the night in a sexy tight fitting navy blue dress and nude pumps, except, she was going out with Paul to watch a movie and eat.

"Just past seven," Mariah answered.

"What?"

"You need to eat and you take ages to get ready!" Mariah defended, "Look, I need to get going already."

"Okay," Tonaya smiled small and began to put her hair up.

The last two days had been quite something with Mariah sleeping over. She was actually keeping an eye on Tonaya, but Tonaya enjoyed the company anyway. Now Mariah had a date and that was still unusual to Tonaya.

"You look amazing," Tonaya complimented her sister.

"You think Paul will like it? We're going to a movie. I feel overdressed," Mariah frowned.

"Girl, you packed your whole closet. Feel free to get changed if you want," Tonaya shrugged, "Paul will melt regardless."

"Maybe my boyfriend jeans and a nice top?" Mariah bit her lip.

Tonaya smiled, "Lemme shower quick. I'll come help your hopeless ass out."

"Make it quick. I shoulda been gone," Mariah headed for the stairs.

Tonaya took her shower then helped Mariah pick a new, more casual (still sexy) and all nude look: a high waisted leather mini skirt, a cute off-shoulder bodysuit and a pair of suede boots.
