I looked down at my freshly painted acrylic nails. My heart was racing and my palms were sweating. Although I was having a good time. It was time for me to get out with it. I needed to just spit it out. It's a question that's been lingering in my mind all night. It may ruin the night, but for the sake of my sanity I needed to ask Barron. Here goes nothing. "Barron, can I ask you a question?" I said as I twiddled my fingers together nervously. He nodded his head giving me his full attention. "What are we doing?" I asked softly. Barron rested his elbow on the table and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, I guess we are hanging out." He answered with no emotion. "Hanging out? You taking me to all these places is just us hanging out?" I said a little taken back. I was not prepared for that reply. I should have known.

(BWWM) EDITING "That cannot happen again." Sunny spoke breaking the silence between us. We must have been sitting in my car for a solid five minutes without saying a word to each other. "Why?" I said I not bothering to look at her. I kept my eyes forward. "Because it's not appropriate." She was stern in the way she was speaking but I could catch the slight uncertainty in her tone. I decided to mess around with her until she finally breaks and confessed how she really feel. "Did you forget you kissed me back." I turned my neck to look at her. She bit her lip and looked down. "Yes, I know and I shouldn't have done that." "Why? Isn't that what you wanted to do." I smirked making sure to watch her every movement. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Sunny Rose is a 21 year old college student.

His speed was faster than a blink, connecting our lips. I gasped into the kiss-- the feeling was euphoric. Our bodies molded together like two halves longing for their missing piece. My stomach was in full on gymnastics mode as fireworks exploded in my heart. It'd been too long, and I didn't know how I'd ever managed to be without him. Damn. I loved Ryan Davids. I'd never stopped. **************************** After nearly two years of being broken up, Simone Rich and Ryan Davids are back in each others' lives once again. No longer being the young, naive high schoolers they once were had the two former lovers prepared to spend Summer '19 completely disregarding one another's presence. Of course, that was out of the question. Unexpected guests, circumstances, and betrayals cause feelings to resurface. As memories become unburied, Simone and Ryan realize that distance does indeed make the heart grow fonder and dismissed flames don't mean extinguished ones. Let's just hope it doesn't take them the whole summer to figure that out. **SEQUEL TO COLORED IVORY... AKA PLEASE READ COLORED IVORY FIRST:)**

"Winston doesn't make people ignorant or racist, Simone... It's found in the people who choose to allow it into them. Nobody can choose their ethnicity, but we can choose what we make out of it, and who we are. Well... I've chosen you..." ********************** Simone Rich. Ryan Davids. Two teens. One is black. One is white. A school and student body filled with nothing but stereotypes, hormones, and unfair expectations. The want is there. The love is inevitable- but in the end, the only thing that can keep them from being together.... is themselves. (Please make sure to read A/N, before beginning the story.)
