Mercedes woke up in a hurry not realizing where she was or how she got there. All she knew was it wasn't her bed and whoever she laying next to was out cold. She tried to slowly slide from his grasp without waking the stranger.

"Where the hell are my panties" she questioned while screening the room until she found them hanging on the mirror. She tipped toe over to grab them and quickly started to look for her pants.

"Leaving already?" The stranger said causing her to freeze in her spot. The voice, she knew it.

"Fuck." She said under her breath. Slowly she turned around and saw a familiar face. It was Shane her ex, the ex she swore she'd never see again. He sat up with a smug look and sly grin on his face. Doing a once over of a half naked Mercedes before saying "You don't have to leave you know?"

"No, I do. I should've come here in the first place. This, you were a mistake." She said grabbing her pants off the floor and sliding them on.

Shane was in awe of the woman standing in front of him. Mercedes Jones was force of beautiful nature. Her short stature, curves and ample ass was just added bonus to her radiant mocha skin, gorgeous smile and doe brown eyes. He found himself staring at her as she slide her pants on having to bounce just a little to get in them making her curly hair bounce and fall on her breast. To be that bra he thought. Her words snapped him back to reality.

"Cedes don't be like that. We can work it out just give us a shot." He said moving closer to her. She swiftly took a step back and huffed.

"There's nothing and I mean nothing to work out. I was drinking and needed... some affection. That's it. Don't read into it because it won't be happening again."

"You could've went anywhere for "affection" you know what you wanted and I provided. Very well if I do say so myself or the sounds escaping you last night we're all fake." He replied. If he only knew just how fake those moans were. She was tired and just wanted to leave. She continued looking for the rest of her items and after gathering them she gave him a look and walked out without saying a word. She felt the warm sun on her skin as she stood outside Shane's home. She was so mad at herself but she wasn't about to punish herself for the 20 minutes of "affection". Placing her earbuds in she began her walk home.

I just took a DNA test turns out I'm 100% that bitch

Even when I'm crying crazy

Yeah, I got boy problems, that's the human in me

Bling bling, then I solve 'em, that's the goddess in me

Mercedes allowed the words to move her as she did the walk of shame with her head held high and she found herself singing along with vigor.

You coulda had a bad bitch, non-committal

Help you with your career just a little

You're 'posed to hold me down, but you're holding me back

And that's the sound of me not calling you back

Shane was that guy you dated in high school or college. You know the one... the one that made you think it was a forever type of thing but when things got too heavy, he'd run for the hills. Well he ran right after she finally gave in and gave her self to him. Straight ignored her for two days before reappearing and with some bullshit excuse at that. Just thinking about it made her angry. She should've left him then but she was so vulnerable and he played on it.

Why're men great 'til they gotta be great? ('Til they gotta be great)

Don't text me, tell it straight to my face (Tell it straight to my face)

As she approached her apartment building she let out a soft sigh. Glad she was almost home and could shower off her guilt She entered her small one bedroom, threw her stuff on the end table and headed straight to her bathroom. She put her hair up into a high bun and gave herself a quick look over in the mirror. "Girl you gotta get it together..." she said to herself aloud. She removed last night choice of clothing and turned her shower on, letting it warm before hopping in. As the hot water hit her body, she could feel last night slowly washing off of her and guilt slowly flushing away as she started to start sing her heart out. Loudly without a care who heard her.

"You must think that I'm stupid

You must think that I'm a fool

You must think that I'm new to this

But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me'

Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you

In case you go and leave me in the dirt...

Bang, bang

Mercedes jumped at the sound of someone pounding on her door. She quickly turned the shower off and got out. Waiting to see if it was really her door or if she was just tripping.

BANG, BANG

She wrapped a towel around her body and headed to the door.

BANG

Mercedes grew angry as she yanked the door open "Damn hold o-" she said stopping at the sight before her. Her breath caught in her throat as a very handsome stranger stood before her with so much anger in his beautiful green eyes.

A/N : Let me know if this is somewhat interesting I'll have Chapter 2 ready fairly soon!XOXO
