Jackson left early to go back to his place to change. Hickey's covered his brown skin along with scratch marks down his back. He sighed and hopped in the shower.

Mariah angrily got up from her bed then went to answer her door. Her mother stood on the stoop smiling. "Good morning daughter, I see someone had a good night."

Mariah touched the love marks on her neck before letting her mother in. "Why are you here?"

"I can't see my daughter?" Sabrina walked into the kitchen and sat a big bowl of food on the counter.

"It's 10 in the morning."

"And usually your up. Your boy toy must've put it on you last night." Mariah scoffed at her mother's sarcasm.

"Mom, seriously. Why are you here?" Before Sabrina could answer the doorbell rung. Mariah looked at her mom then trailed over to the front door. When she opened the door Chase stood before her with a big smile on his face.

"Mariah," his stepped in without an invite. Mariah, still stuck in her daze, stood at the door before shutting it.

"Hey Chase, how are you?" Sabrina asked. They shared a quick hug before chatting. Mariah snapped back into reality.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Sabrina and Chase looked at her.

"Excuse me," Sabrina grabbed her purse. "I'll let you two be." She left, leaving Mariah and Chase.

"I came to see you." He finally answered.

"For?" Chase sighed before speaking.

"You probably hate me right now, but I have an offer for you." Mariah folded her arms over her chest.

"What is it?"

Jackson walked into his usual workspace to began editing photos. He had just gotten done with his meeting with Mr.McCain and had no clients today so he decided to began on another portfolio for a project. While editing pictures his elevator dinged, catching his attention. Jackson turned around seeing Kennedy.

"Kennedy," he stood up, watching her strut over to him in black red bottoms. "What're you doing here?"

"I came to see if the photos were ready." The look on her face said otherwise.

"The photo shoot was the other day. They won't be ready until 2 weeks." Jackson explains. Kennedy disregards everything he says, still slowly walking to him.

"Well can we have another photo shoot?" Before he could protest she lifts her shirt over her head. Jackson stared in confusion. Kennedy definitely wasn't acting like herself. Once she was right in front of her Jackson looked in her eyes.

"Ken are you okay?" Her eyes were dilated and glossy.

"I'm fine, we doing this or what?" She pulled on his shirt then stop to fan herself. "Is it hot to you? Damn turn the AC on!"

"It's 60 degrees outside and you hot?"

"What's with all the questions and are we gonna do this?" Jackson went to turn the AC on then texted Devin.

"Doing what?" He asked.

"Look," she stood up, almost loosing her balance, and walked over to him. "I'm tryna fuck."

"Your not just doing this to get me back into your life right?" Mariah asked. Chase was quiet for a minute.

"As much as I want to be with you. I can't force you Mariah." He stood up, opening his arms for a hug. Mariah gave him a hug then walked him to the door.

"I'll call you."

"You do that, this could be a great opportunity for you." Mariah shut the door, then rested her back against it. She had a lot to think about.
