MARCUS
"Okay Antonio. I got you." I said.
"You a good man Marcus. Its been a pleasure doing business." He replied.
"Yeah."
I ended the call. I'm officially back in the game. I didn't want things to come to this but it was my only option. My company is slowly going bankrupt. We are in a big lawsuit because one of my employees fucked up. This lawsuit is putting me in more debt then I anticipated. Shit. I shouldn't have let Henry touch that roof. I should have done it myself. Now I have to pay for the people's medical expenses and repair the roof and second floor. I had to lay Henry off. I think the worst part about this shit is that Derek is the lawyer for the family whose house I built. My case against the Smith family won't go my way at all.
Summer walked into the room and sat down next to me on the bed.
"You okay baby?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." I replied.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Summer kissed me and started rubbing my dick. I really ain't in the mood for this.
"Not now baby." I said.
"What's wrong?" She questioned.
"I'm tired." I lied.
"Okay baby."
She kissed me on my cheek and got up from the bed. I watched her sway her hips as she walked out the room. I swear I love her so much. We have been together for a year now. Everything about her is so damn perfect. I think I'm ready to pop the question. But with all this financial shit Ima have to wait for a while. And I want Dawn and Shante to be apart of it. I want to make that moment more special that when Derek proposed to her.

DAWN
Jonathan and I are at the mall for our first date. We are in the food court. He bought both of us some food from Panda Express. He got some noodles and orange chicken for me. I can't believe that Jonathan and I are dating. I never thought I would see this day coming. I never imagined us together. I've been overlooking him all this time and never realized how great he is. We have been together for a month now. We would of had our first date sooner but we have been busy.
"Cupcake." Jonathan said, calling me by my nickname.
"Yes?" I replied.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you."
"How was your day?"
"It was good."
"What made it so good?"
"The best part of my day is right now."
"Why now?"
"Because I'm with you."
"Well the best part of my day ain't happened yet." 
"So right now ain't the best part?"
"Nope."
He flashed a smile. Something is up his sleeve.
We ate our food. Once we were finished Jonathan blindfolded me.
"Baby where are we going?" I asked.
"Its a surprise." He replied as he led me out if my seat. We walked for a while.
I think an hour had past before he took the blindfold off of me. I looked around and saw a beautiful scenery. There was a bouquet of red roses and chocolates.
"Baby what's all of this for?" I asked.
"Because I love you." He replied.
I kissed him intensely. My phone rang in my pocket.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Michael and I are on our way." Shante said.
"Okay."
I ended the call and kissed Jonathan again. He handed me the roses and he placed the chocolates in a bag. He handed the bag to me.
"Was that Shante?" He asked.
"Yeah. She will be here shortly." I explained.

MARCUS
I smoked a cigar on the back porch. Summer was inside cleaning the house. She offered to clean and I didn't mind. I stared at the grass. I began to reminisce. I started to recall what it was like being in the drug game. I was way younger and I had nothing to lose. I think I made this decision out of my ass honestly. I have so much to lose now. I have Summer Shante and Dawn. And this drug thing gets serious. They be kidnapping loved ones and shit. My sister died because of my recklessness. Marla was raped and murdered because I got into some shit with some other niggas. A tear rolled down my face.
"Baby you can come inside now." Summer said.
I got up from my chair and went inside. The scent of bleach almost killed me. I coughed and tried to catch my breath.
"Baby you okay?" She asked as she patted my back.
"Ya use to much bleach." I said in my thick Jamaican accent.
"I'm sorry baby." She replied as she kissed me. I don't know how to tell Summer about my new decision. I guess I will tell her later. I don't wanna wait too late and then something happens. Then it would be my fault. I can't lose her. I will tell her tonight.
