Bad boy, good girl, cliche happily ever after ending right? Well, not with Melissa and Jionni. One boy is free to do whatever he wants, while the other is sheltered and has her every move watched by her parents. At Baton Rouge High School, "hood boy" Jionni and his friends aren't too fond of the only girl in school who has money, referring to her as a "silver spoon child." But after Jionni has a change of heart, he and the rich girl decides to keep it a secret that they hang out on a regular. After hanging out for some time, the two starts to find interests in things that they never bothered with before. Once their friends and family start to wonder why they're changing and acting out of character, they start to do their own secret investigation to find out what's REALLY happening with the two. It all goes down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. ;)

Works #1: Ahmad Hassan Sinclair, 25, was taught to always fight and work hard for what he wanted. In the life he was given nothing was ever handed to him. He grew up in the hoods of Houston, witnessing things no child should ever see in their life. His mom and pop worked hard just tryna make ends meet, to keep food on the table and clothes on their kids back. But it was far from easy .. Seeing his parents struggle the way they did for years, motivated him to work ten times harder. He made it a mission to not end up like his folks, he wanted more in life. He knew there was more to life than what he grew up seeing. But he also knew in order to be somebody in this world as a black man he had to fight and strive for it and also dodge the bullshit that came along with it. He set goals, he had dreams, he had a vision and nothing could stop him from achieving them. Now that he's at the top of his game, making money, living the live he always wanted, seeing the things he never seen and moving up the success path .. he figured life would eventually turn out to be great but sadly he still isn't happy or content with how things are.. there's this one missing piece in his life that will fully complete him. But let's see how determined Ahmad will be to find what that missing piece is or what he will do to get it.

"I love you god knows I do but I can't do this. I can't. I put up with the phone calls, the text messages, social media, random chicks, not coming home, and everything else. Let alone a baby you conceived by some random chick. I'd be a fool to marry you. I'm sorry but it's time I loved me more than you" I looked at him once more as a tear slid down his face as he stood there lost for words. I looked at our family and friends, hiked up my dress, and walked down the aisle. "Sorry guys! Enjoy the reception and the trip. Please don't let it go to waste" I said as I ran down the seashell lined aisle not knowing where I was going. April Elegance Blackmon is a woman who has it all...literally. She's the owner of Blackmon Technologies which happens to be a billion dollar computer Software Corporation. Materialistically she has it all. What she lacks is love and although she loved her man love just wasn't enough. Sure they looked great on the outside but in the inside they were a recipe for disaster maybe even toxic. Inside she was fighting for a man who wasn't worth fighting for. Watch as she finally let's love go only to get swept right on in by someone she promised she wouldn't entertain again well type of man anyway. Just because she's done with love doesn't mean that love is done with her. Is she truly ready for the new ride God has set out for her? A Chris Brown and Dave East Fanfic... No copyright!

They both knew the consequences if word was to get out about the two but a young Lauren no longer cared about the over protectiveness from the men in her life, she began to get reckless. But the only issue wasn't the fact that he was apart of the family, he also had no business being 27 messing with a 18 year old girl especially a Valentine, knowing he could die - that he would die behind his actions. Would he protect himself, or would he fight for them to be together?
