Everyone knew who he was and they all feared him. Except her. He had finally met his match in more ways that one.

(ON HOLD) J'lani Brewster had a prefect life. His parent abandoning him is what made his life better. Note the sarcasm. He was on edge. He barely trusted people, including his family. Being related to him didn't mean good to him. To closer you are to him, the more you could hurt him. Saniyah Levi was perfect too. She was being pimped out by someone she thought would help her. She had been with the man since she was 14. Her parents couldn't be around cause they stole her innocence. Foster care wasn't all that good either. Xyola Abraham was a wild card. She just wanted her pain gone. It didn't matter if it was temporary. She also had a hard time airing out dirty laundry in her life. J'lani helps, but it's not enough. Will they be able to break their walls down and let each other in? Will they be able to let the past go and and build something new together?

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 got one big ass album for you, It got over 900 pictures of you." He confessed making her jaw drop. "Do you even be picking out the best pictures and delete the rest of the ugly ones??" She looked at him in shock. "Fuck no, I keep every picture of you." He said while opening the house door and let her walk in first. "You're so crazy inlove, it's okay though me too." She smiled softly at him. "I thought you only liked me a lil bit." He locked the doors and followed her to the bedroom. "I changed my mind. I can do that." She flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked in the bedroom. "Type shit." He laughed and shook his head at her. Messiah was so deeply in love with Juani, nobody could tell him anything about her. He loved her with all his heart and felt like she was the reason he had smiled so much in what felt like forever.

"Aight bro" Caine waved me off "So what we done?" He looked at me with no emotion "We're done" I nodded "So am I allowed to do my own thing or what? Or is that gonna be cheating" Caine spoke being sarcastic mocking my words "Fuck you Caine" "Fuck you Tiana" *** History. Her-story. His-story. Their-story.
