*Michael's Point Of View*

I hate the expression: "You never know what you had until it's gone " It goes all to well with my life right now. Knowing she has moved on is killing me inside. I can barely sleep anymore.  I am always wondering if he is holding her that night. I am always wondering if he makes her blush. I am always wondering if he loves her better than I do. I always wonder if she's thinking of me still. I know I sound selfish, but I can't help it. I am a contradiction.  I now know how she felt every night I left her alone. And for what? nothing. All I needed was at home. And now I no longer have a home. I haven't talked to Yuli since hanging up on her a week ago. I know I should apologize, but I haven't found they courage to talk to her again. Knowledge that even Yuli likes this man , made me loose courage to talk to her again. Another problem in my world; Evelyn. She swears that she is pregnant with my child. I don't even know how to handle that situation.  I know it is my fault.  I should've let myself become so vulnerable. I can't stop the past though.  Nor can I change it. I walk downstairs to check on Jasmine. I walk into the living room. Jasmine is on the phone painting her nails. On the couch. "Jas! What have I told you+", "Shhh I'm on the phone ", She whispers and continues her conversation.  I groan out of agitation.  "No! get off the phone and get off the couch. I have told you about this!", She rolls her eyes ignoring me. I walk to her and snatch her phone away. "Do what I told you now!", I said pointing outside.  "Hello? Who ever this is Jasmine will call you later...maybe", I end the call and walk out. Jasmine groans and waddles behind me. "Dad! Give me my phone! ", I ignore her and continue walking. "Dad! Give me my phone stop being an ass-", I quickly turn around. "Jasmine Azili Jackson, I better not ever hear you say that ever again! Do you hear me?!", She doesn't respond. "I said did you hear me?!", "Yes! And you know what I could care less what you say! So tell me 'dad' when were you going to tell us that your whore is pregnant!", She yelled as a tear fell from her face. She turns around and runs downstairs. I sigh and rub my temple's...

*Marilyn's Point Of View*

It's been a week since my first date with Channing. I still have my guard up. I know good thing's don't last forever.  Yuli teases me saying it's time I get laid. But I have too much respect for myself to even think about doing anything with him. Not that I am not attracted To him. Channing is the type of man yoi make up in a dream. He has a gorgeous smile. He is quite built but not too built, He is humorous, and lastly he is very sweet. Brandon is still on the other side of the fence about it. He is just looking out for me which I appreciate. I just want to make the best decision for me and most importantly Brandon. I haven't heard from Michael, but Brandon gets updates from his siblings. The news I have heard; not so good. That's another thing that is prohibitting my walls from tumbling.  Channing is patient with me, which makes things a little easier to deal with. Today I invited Channing over for dinner. It's the first time so I'm nervous. I think I am ready to move on to the kissing stage of our relationship. I guess we're in a relationship we have been on three dates. I might be over thinking this. I walk to Brandon's room. "Hey love, how ya holding up?", He scoots away from his desk. "I'm ok a little tired and hungry ", I smile. "Well dinner is almost finished I just need someone to set the table up", He looks around. "What are you looking for?", He chuckles. "I was looking for the person you need to set the table up", I throw a jacket he had on his door at him. "You are silly! Go and do it please? ", He sighs and nods. "Fine", He stands up and walks out. I kiss his cheek. ",Thanks love", He nods and continues walking downstairs. I quickly finish putting together my outfit and checked my cellphone for text's. Channing sent one saying he's on his way. I squeal happily. I grab my wedges and walked downstairs to fix up the table. It took thirty minutes but everything is ready. "Are you ready? ", Brandon asks stealing a diner roll. I pop his hand. "Wait for our guest!, And yes I am and nervous ", He playfully rolls his eye's.  "Mom don't be, I have a question? ", I nod for him to continue. "Do you love him?", I stare at him for awhile before responding. "Honestly I don't know, He's sweet and charming though. But don't worry, If I were to fall in love you'd be the first to know ", I said kissing his forehead. He smiles.  Suddenly the doorbell rings.  I look at the time. He's early? "I'll get just go wash up", Brandon nods and walks out. I jog to the front door only stopping to fix my hair and dress. I take in a deep breath and open the door. "Hey Chan-Michael? ",...
