No Remorse, No Regrets

Chapter1

I decided to do just that to see where Mercedes head really was. The streets were most definitely talking and I knew she wanted me just as bad as I wanted her. Just before it got too late I decided to call her. The phone rings 4 times and her voicemail picks.

"Hello, you've reached Mercedes. I can't come to phone right now but if you leave ya name and number with a brief message. I'll get back with you."

"Hey Beautiful. You know who this is. Answer the phone, I'm in front of your house. Ya boi Armel."

I leaned my head back against the headrest and turned the music up a little louder. Usher's Confessions Part 2 was blasting through the speakers.

"Now this gon' be the hardest thing I think I ever had to do"
"Got me talkin' to myself askin' how I'm gon' tell you"
"Bout that chick on part 1 I told ya'll I was creepin' with, creepin' with"
"Said she's 3 months pregnant and she's keepin' it"

I jumped at a tap on the passenger side window and unlocked the door. I hope you locked your house up I figured we could take a ride.

"Armel, how was I suppose to know that", Mercedes said.

"Had you answered ya damn phone, you would have known", Armel said.

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Gimme a sec pa", Mercedes said heading to lock the door.

"So, where you taking me at this time of night", Mercedes asked.

"Just sit back and relax you'll see when we get there", Armel smiled and said.

After driving about 5 hours on 1-95 N, I pulled up at The Westgate Resorts. I reached over and woke Mercedes up. Walked in to the front desk and got our keys. When I walked out the lobby Mercedes was sitting on the hood.

"I just know you ain't take me 3 hours away from home with no clothes and expect me to stay Armel", she said.

"Just chill I got you", he said and handed her his black card.

Take the keys and go pick you up something and if you happen to see something I'd rock pick me up something too. I trust you and you know my style. He watched his white impala disappear under the stars and walked up to the front desk. He requested a bottle of chocolate syrup with strawberries and a bottle of their finest champagne. Tonight I've decided to lay it all on the table. A girl like Mercedes won't wait around forever.

"I be feeling like the man when I walk through"
"Ain't stunting what you saying when I walk through"
"I got all these hoes staring when I walk through"
"I done made a few bands when I walk through"

I grabbed my phone off the bed and answered.

"What it do lil baby? You headed back yet?"

"Uh Uh, Armel who you think you talking too. I ain't none of your lil chickenheads", Mercedes jokingly said. Anyways I just pulled up out front where you want me to park at so you can come get these bags.

I dimmed the lights and turned the music on and met her in front of the room. Wait before you go in. Imma grab these bags. After grabbing the bags and locking up the car Armel walked back to Mercedes and told her to wait here while he sit everything down.

"Alright, close your eyes and gimme your hand", Armel said.

He gently caressed Mercedes's hand as they walked into their lightly dimmed room. Music was softly playing and the light from the candles painted their silhouettes against the pearl white walls. Armel wrapped his arms around her waist and said opened your eyes. Mercedes opened her eyes and her mouth dropped wide open. She couldn't believe how the room was set up. She tried to speak but nothing came out. She thought to herself as she finally found the words to utter. Damn Armel I ain't know you had it like this. I'm kinda shocked but more so on the excited side that you would go through all of this just to get me to spend some QT with you.

"So Armel, what's the special occasion", Mercedes asked.

"I just know you didn't bring me all the way here for nothing", she said.

"For nothing, you are correct", Armel said.
