"Janell, where are you going? We got, like, two more movies to watch." I giggle and reach out to touch her.

She sighs heavily, "I gotta slide Naomi but I will text you when I get home." I frowned while she pulled up her jeans. I grabbed my sheets and wrapped them around my naked torso, covering up my chest. She grabs her shirt from the floor and I start to whine playfully.

"Do you really have to go so soon? I feel like you just got here." She huffs but doesn't stop packing up her things. 

"Naomi, please don't start with me. You knew I couldn't stay long, I told you that when you called me over here. Besides, don't you have work in the morning?"

"Yeah but I was kind of hoping you would want to stay the night." I got out of bed abandoning my covers. I walk up to her and slip my arms on her shoulders, interlocking my fingers behind her neck. I start to place butterfly kisses on her neck, trying to persuade her into reconsidering leaving. 

She grabs my naked hips and gently pushed me off her. " Naomi, you already know my girlfriend-"

"Janell, let's not talk about her. You don't have to rub your relationship in my face." I storm away from her. I made my way to my personal bathroom to retrieve my fluffy pink robe. I slip it on and block her view of my naked body. I tied it tight around my waist while she buries herself in her phone. I suck my teeth, "do you even care that I want to spend more time with you?"

"Naomi, you knew what this was when we started fucking around. Don't. Start." She walks out of my bedroom and makes her way towards my living room. I follow behind her, angry as hell that she was trying to play me.  "Look, you're a really sweet girl but this was just about sex Naomi. I thought we had a clear understanding but now you want to do couple shit and I didn't sign up for that love." 

I walk to my front door and open it for her, " I guess I got a little carried away but don't worry Janell. I won't make that mistake again." I fold my arms and watch her walk through my door frame. She turns around to say something but I quickly close the door befor she could speak. 

Alone. Again and on a Thursday night. It's cool though because I know I will find someone to love me one day. Luckily, I realize that it wasn't Janell. She was a cheater and decent lay. I just found it funny that she had the audacity to come at me like I was falling for her. But a dog will be a dog, I'm just glad that I didn't catch fleas, if you catch my drift.

"Is she gone?" Casime pokes his head out of his room.

"Yeah." I shuffle to the kitchen and grab a bottle of water out the refrigirator.

"Sis, why do you even fuck with her? You can do so much better." I took a big gulp of water because I should have known he was going to say something about Janell. No matter how many times I tell him that she is a fuck buddy.

"Casime, it's not even that deep. She comes over, we do whatever we do, then she leaves." Casime folds his slender chocolate arms and raised his perfectly arched eyebrow. 

"So I didn't hear you beg her to stay the night?" He stares me down, for what felt like forever. Casime has been my best friend since I could rememeber but he could make me feel like shit sometimes. 

I roll my eyes, "damn, you're nosy as hell boy." I finish the bottle of water quickly, feeling my face heat up from embarrassment. The less we talked about Janell the faster I could forget the way she played me tonight.

"Yeah, I hear you miss thing." He disappears back into the room for the night, while I sat there thinking of how to handle Janell. 

Maybe this little fling has went on long enough, its been about two and half months now and I want to get away before I actually do start catching feelings for her. She really isn't anthing to get emotional for. Don't get me wrong, she is fine in a tom boy kind of way. She is a stud. When I think about, she really has that fuck boy look down to a science. Light skin, tattoos, slender build, and skater since of fashion. She has a brush cut with deep waves and  nice smile, honestly her confidence is what had attracted me to her in the first place.

I find myself back on my bed, naked and tired. Soon mister sandman had wrapped his arms around me and sleep took over, clearing any left over thoughts of Janell.

"Good morning Naomi. Are you ready to sale, sale, sale?!" I forced a strained smile on my face and gave my enthusiastic boss a thumbs up. Mallory meant well but damn she was extremely aggravating. Most days, I try to stay out the office as much as possible because she just has so much energy, I can't stand it. "Now I was looking at the list, you only have two apartments to show today then you're free for lunch."

"Sounds good boss." I gather my papers on my desk and stood up. I smooth out my navy blue pencil skirt and grabbed my blazer from the back of my chair. I gave my desk one last look, double checking to make sure I grabbed what I needed when I closed the deal on these apartments.

I make my way to the elevator and press the button to take me to the parking garage. I stand there patiently, going over my key notes about my first apartment. Mentally preparing myself to be as charming as possible so that I can secure my commission. The elevator doors open up and I step out into the seemingly empty garage, making my way towards my car. It wasn't spectatular or flashy but it was mine. I earned the money for my car waitressing at a diner and working at the campus library. After a gruesome year of crying damn near every night, I finally was able to buy my own car. Cash, no payments. 

I hop in, start it up and pull out. I follow my GPS to my first location and take a moment to compose myself. Even though I have done this a hundred times before, I still get a little nervous because it's my job to show people that they can start a life here. To show them that it can be made into a proper home. 

I park my car in the parking lot in front of the building and gather my things. I lock my car doors and walk in building, scaning the lobby as I walk to the elevator. I step in and check my phone. I have two text messages, one from Casime and the other is from Janell. I shoot Casime a quick text, giving him my blessing to have company over while I am at work. With a heavy sigh, I open Janell's text.

'Wanna link tonight? Got some new shit, I wanna try.' I roll my eyes because she always talking about doing something new when honestly, she could really use some work on her sex game. Her ego has actually surpassed her effort when it came to pleasing me.

Without replying, I stuff my phone in the pocket of my blazer and exited the elevator when the doors opened to the floor I needed to be on. Making a right, I found the apartment door and quickly unlocked it and gave the apartment a quick look before my potential clients arrived. Everything was spotless, so I took a deep breath and sat down on the couch. A few moments later, I heard a heavy knock on the door. I jump up from my seat and went to greet whoever was on the other side of it.

I open the door with my best and brightest smile, "you must be my 1 o'clock. Welcome."

Just to give a feel for Naomi's day to day life. Pretty normal honestly.
