(When Our Paths Cross..) Thing’s take a curious turn when two “best friends” come to find out how much they really have in common.. Cherry and Dante have been close for two years now. They wouldn’t exactly say that they are “best friends” but they would say they just “know” each other really well. Dante had never crossed Cherry’s mind as someone she could “be” with. In fact that hadn’t even touched her mind at all. Dante was too much of a flirt, too much of a romantic player, who had initially fucked around all too much and gotten somebody pregnant. Dante was just the same, Cherry was just a cool ass chic from the day they met…but from an outsiders point of view you’d think much more was going on, actions speak louder than words perhaps? Life eventually turns into an unpleasant weight on Dante’s shoulders and Cherry is right there as always to help him through. Eventually a feeling in each of them starts to slowly build, but they go to GREAT heights to ignore this fire that has ignited itself. Will they meet each other at a cross roads and come to terms with it? Or will they completely miss each other passing by.

I said sounding more appalled than I could ever really be. He started walking closer to me and before I knew it, he had my back against the wall and my left leg wrapped around his waist. The look that he gave made him look so powerful that I couldn't help but be intimidated and turned on at the same time. "Look mami I don't think you really hearin' me so let me break this shit down to you real brief. Imma be around for the time bein' whether you want to be or not, I'm not goin' no where. Just let me have one chance." "Prove it." ________________
