Exhale

11. The Real

Sha'la has been staying at a motel for the past two days. Her sister and everyone now knows that her and Terrence is offically over, so her sister booked her a ticket to move back to Atlanta. The only person that doesn't know is Vontrell. Her sister dancer. Truth is, Vontrell and Sha'la been talking everysince their little get together at the park. It was something about him, that gave her so much energy and life.

She never kissed him or anything, and they didn't have to. She liked him, even though she's upset with him. Before Terrence got home that night, Sha'la and Vontrell was having an little argument. She asked him did he have a girlfriend, and indeed he did. He told her that him and His girlfriend was over at the time he made a move on her. But because he seen how in love Shae was with Terrence, he took His ex back.

They both camed out. They admit they both liked each other, but there was no way tthat they could date. Shae is single, and well Vontrell isn't. Sha'la checked her bags to make sure that she had everything. Leaving something in Baltimore was the last thing she wanted to happen. Zipping her bag up, her phone rings in her back pocket. Standing completely up, she answered the phone. It's Nakai.

''Why I don't hear no music playing, or a car moving?''

Shae rolled her eyes,''Nakai I'm heading out now''

''Mhm. Cause I paid my good money on that ticket. But I called because moma said when you make it here, call her and let her know. She'll have your room ready''

''Aight sis''

Meanwhile with Terrence, he accompanied Sasha at one of her yoga classes. Sitting on the mats, he watched the beads of sweat drizzle down her head. With her nike leggings, and her no sleeved white tee, she kept her eyes closed, and took a deep breath. Raising her joined hands together, she squats, and helds it for 5 minutes. Watching her makes him feels so complete with hiself, and his decision. He's going to have his family.

''Okay class, class is over. Thanks for coming.Come again nex Saturday'', the teacher cheered.

People begins to pick up their mats, while Sasha waddled her way over to the open patio. Picking up the water bottle next to him, Terrence jogs right to Sasha. She took a seat at the small table, and begins to breathe heavy.

''Sasha, are you okay?'' He gaved her the water bottle, and took a seat in front of her.

''Yeah, I'm just short of breath'', she tells him.

She took the water bottle, and took 3 huge gulps of it. Terrence took out his rag, and leans over the table, wiping the sweat off her head.

''You should'nt be doing yoga classes if you're breathing bad''

Sasha smiles at the fact that he's worried,"FYI, I have asthma, and my doctor said it's okay''

Terrence brows raised, ''Really?''

She nodds, making her ponytail swings side to side. ''Yeah, you just don't know much about me''

She's right. Terrence and Sasha don't know much about each other. But he was going to change that.

He scoffs,''My name is Terrence Dashawn Howard. I'm 29, and I'm from Baltimore''

Sasha shook her head and laughs at the little kiddy introduction he gae of himself."Cute. Real cute. My name is Sasha Belinda Jones. I'm 27. I'm from NewYork, and I'm Hatian''

Terrence eyes widens, while Sasha smiles even harder. That's why she looks so exotic.

''Wow, really?'', was all he could say.
