When upcoming singer Mariah gets invited to collaborate with her favorite rapper, she expects a hit..not a man who can ruin her whole focus. Their chemistry is instant, dangerous, and way too tempting. But the closer they get, the more they break each other: jealousy, late-night arguments, mixed signals, and a whole lot of passion they know they shouldn't act on. She's the high he can't quit. He's the fire she keeps running back to.

"I don't know this man, I don't know his friends, I don't know his type." No amount of love could replace the past. And they had a lot of that for one another-love that is. The two child hood friends had bonded early on, especially over their love of music. Where one lacked, one had. Mariah was the writer, Kentrell the performer. It's only until a high school talent show that Kentrell performs a song written by his beloved best friend, Mariah...that his career takes off. But it happens to take off without Mariah. And he had promised to take her. Promises were meant to be broken I suppose.

she entered his world, before he knew how to guard his heart. Mi'Yanne woods struggling, overdue rent, going paycheck to paycheck trying to keep up with her daycare job. One day it all stops, she sees a paper on the sidewalk and scans a qr code which she didn't know would change her life forever.

When David Brewster comes back to L.A. for his close friend's dad's funeral, the last thing he expects is how hard it hits to see Chantel Brown again. She's his friend's mom, 47 now, newly single, raising a baby girl...and somehow, the feelings he swore he left in the past come back like they never left at all. Being around her messes with his head in ways he didn't plan for. And getting back close to Chantel isn't just complicated, but also dangerous since David is living a double life.

"I'll text you.." She said as they pulled away. "Yeah ight. You better." They walked inside the cafeteria together but went separate ways. Anija walked back up to where Kema and Kam were sitting with a goofy smile. "Look at her, happy as hell she got her nigga back.." Kam tapped Kema's knee so she could look up. Anija laughed as she sat back down next to them. "That's my boo forreal.." typical (not so typical) highschool love story 💖

"you're married. I can't be a mistress, I don't wanna settle for somebody's else's property. You have to let me go." konamie sniffled, wiping the tears that spilled from her eyes. Kentrell grabbed her wrist, pulling her closer to him. "you not a mistress, nami. Please just give me a chance to fix all this. I don't wanna let you go. I love you." but he also loved her and he can't have both so what he pose to do. HIS MISSES, HIS MISTRESS.
