University of Alabama women's dormitory
February 13

But Jalen you promised!," Taylor shouted at her boyfriend. Today was Taylor's art show and he was supposed to be one of her models.

I know babe but you'll still do amazing even if I'm not your model. The bruhz and I have a last minute chapter meeting," He said

As the two argued her lab partner and best friend Brandon came in her room. Hey Tay you ready to go?," Brandon asked

Gimme one second B," I said

Okay and by the way you look really beautiful,"Brandon smiled which made me blush. After Brandon was gone out the room Jalen gave me the meanest look.

So you blushing at niggas now?," He asked

Jalen when was the last time you told me I was beautiful? When was the last time you actually paid attention to me?." She asked

Man Taylor go head with that shit," He brushed it off.

Fine I'll go head with my shit and leave," Taylor grabbed her purse and left ignoring the fact that Jalen was practically yelling her name.

I met with Brandon at his car and we went to the place where my art show was gonna be at. You ready T?," Brandon asked

I sighed heavily and told him yeah. Taylor finished up painting his body and she put him on his platform with one of her paintings in his hand.

Brandon no one has came over yet," I said nervously

Yes I've only been up here for 2 seconds they'll come. Especially when they see how sexy I look," He whispered back.

Boy you painted in pink zebra print who the hell—- as I was talking two critics came over and started to study my painting.

Ma'am what is this painting?," One of them asked

Well look at all the other zebras they are black and white but in a world where everyone follows each other this one zebra is taking his chance and stand out." Taylor replied

The critics talked to one another with looks as if they didn't like it. My stomach was in knots and I felt like throwing up but B tapped me on the low and I relaxed... sort of.

Muthafucker don't you hit me," Taylor whispered

Miss Ma'am I want to buy this painting and I would like for you to send me more painting for The Art Critics magazine. Compensated of course," He smiled

Yes! Just send me the information and thank you so much," A tear slid down my face. After they left Brandon and I celebrated. This night couldn't get any better.

Brandon washed his paint off and he took me back to my dorm room. As I opened my room door I seen jalen sitting on my bed with flowers.

Jalen what are you doing here?," I threw my things down

Baby I'm sorry for not paying attention to you and I just want you to know I love you and tomorrow I have a special day planned for us tomorrow on Valentine's Day," Jalen smiled

Baby you know I can't stay mad at you. I can't wait," The two kissed
...
Next day
Feb 14th

Jalen Hurts are you serious?!," I yelled at him

Relax Taylor James it isn't that serious," Jalen said as he unbuttoned his shirt enough to see his chest hair.

I don't want you doing this dating auction it's Valentine's Day," Taylor fussed

It's just a frat event chill out. Now look I have to go I'll meet you at Ruth Chris at 7:30 ok my love?," He smirked

Fine." Taylor said dryly as she went back to her dorm. When I got back to my dorm I turned some music on showered and just decided to make the best out of it.

Girl you look good,". Brandon walked in

B one day you'll learn to knock," I laughed

I won't be here long I just came to get some Cantu. Niya and I have a date tonight. By the way you got some condoms?," He asked

Nigga you know I'm on birth control I don't use them. Look in my roommates dresser she won't care," I grabbed my car keys

Taylor got into her car and made her way to Ruth Chris. The host opened the door and I made my way to the reception desk.

Reservation for Hurts," I said proudly

No problem let's look," The hostess smiled. It looks like there is no reservation for Hurts is this the right one?

2324 Burns st right?," I asked confused

Yes ma'am. Let me check the other Ruth Chris and see if it's there," The hostess picked up the phone. As I waited for the hostess to come back I texted Jalen
to see what was going on.

Ma'am I'm sorry but there is no reservation and we're all booked up I'm sorry," The hostess said looking sadder than me.

Thank You ma'am," Taylor left. I still didn't let it get to me I called many other restaurants but they were booked as well so I went to his apartment and set up something real nice for him. Taylor let him know he was there and sat waiting for him.

7:45 pm he'll be here in no time," Taylor said to herself

-10:30pm-

Shit I fell asleep. Taylor looked at her phone no call from Jalen and he still wasn't home. Once I started grabbing my things I heard the keys so I sat my ass back down.

Taylor what are you doing here?,"He asked

I went to the Ruth Chris and they said it was no reservation for Hurts or Anthony. We even called the other two and it was the same." I said

Aww damn I forgot to book it I'm sorry

Fuck that Jalen I'm tired of hearing sorry and why are you home so late?," She asked

I lost track of time some of the bruhs and AKAs went back to the frat house to chill," He put his coat down.

Isn't Jelani an AKA? Was she there?

Tay.. yes she was and yes she flirted with me and I didn't pay it any mind," He tried to kiss me but I backed away.

What's wrong with you? Ever since last month you been trippin.

Right and January is when you came out for Omega Psi Phi," She spat back.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?!," He yelled

First of all who the fuck is you yelling at? Ever since you came out you been getting all this attention and forgetting about me. It's Valentine's Day and we're arguing and I haven't spent the night with you." Taylor let a tear slide

You tripping moe for real I can't help it if these bitches want me. If you want to be with me then you'll have to deal with this," He shrugged

You know what fuck you Jalen Hurts! I hate you! Now you can have and enjoy all the attention cause it's over," I took my ring off and walked out.

Taylor! Taylor!," He yelled. Damnit man," He sighed
