*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

I continued to knock on my cousin's apartment door. I glanced at my cell. It was 3am and I had been basically stranded. Luckily I knew my way around Miami and I had cab fare. My eldest cousin Trey opened the door. "Chloe? What are you doing here at this time of morning?" He asked letting me in. I shrugged "Just thought I'd pay you a visit." I responded, slurring my words. He shook his head and ran his hand over his face. "There's an empty room in the back with a bed. Make yourself at home. We'll talk in the morning." He said locking the front door back and going to his room. I walked towards the back and found an empty room. I turned on the light to check things out. I was really making sure the room wasnt occupied because I knew Trey had roommates. I decided to get comfortable so I slid out of my fitted dress and heels and got into bed with just a thong on.

"Clo!" I heard someone call me by my nickname. I opened my eyes and seen Trey peeking into the bedroom door. "Huh?" I asked sleepishly. "Get up we need to talk." He yelled. I rolled my eyes and got outta bed and slipped on my dress from the night before. When I finally reached the livingroom where Trey was, I'd prepped myself for a verbal beat down. "Good morning!" I greeted Trey and his roommate who was busying himself in the kitchen. Trey had gave me a stern look. I just rolled my eyes. "Chloe, what the hell were you doing on my doorstep at 3am this morning?!" "I got kicked out." He gave me a look. "You and auntie Gwen got into it again?" He asked with sincere eyes. I just nodded my head yes. "About wat?" He asked "She was tripping about how much I party and last night I'd made plans to go out and she said if I left the house don't come back. I went out....and now here I am." He shook his head. "You can't be acting like that when you live under somebody's roof Clo. You're only 19 years old and you're already going down the wrong road you need to slow down before you end up pregnant dead or in jail." I knew Trey meant well but He knew nothing about me. I wasn't having sex, I wasn't hanging with the wrong crowd I just enjoyed going out and having fun. My mom was just a control freak. I tuned Trey out until He finally said, "Now I'm going to let you stay here with me since I have an extra room and I don't need Auntie Gwen in the hospital stressing over you. After breakfast we gone go get your stuff." I smiled. "Thanks Trey." Then I kissed him on the cheek before walking into the kitchen area to get something to drink. "Damn" I heard someone say just above a whisper. I turned my attention to the stove where Trey's roommate stood eying me. "Good morning." I said smiling. He was sexy as fuck. I bit my bottom lip as my eyes searched his upper body which was covered in tattoos.
