A little background on this book, it is more than ten years old. This is the very first book that I have ever written, and it is on paper. I am typing and editing as I go, I am not changing anything in the story, because that will open too many doors. So it may seem long or drawn out, because again I was a lot younger and wasn't thinking this could be a book. This was always meant to be a filler while we wait for book 4 to be release. I am still working on book 4, I don't have a solid date yet but I'm shooting for this month some time. But I can't make promises, because I am in and out of doctors’ offices and physical therapy with my husband four days out of the week. Please join my author's page for more info.
Prologue "We did it Essi we are out of that joint it felt like a four-year prison sentence." Kimani said jumping up and down on my bed like she was a 6-year-old. "Would you get the hell off my bed before you break it I got to take this bed to my new apartment at the end of the month." I said looking at her like I'm her mother instead of her best friend, smirking. "Girl relax this bed is supposed to be able to withstand a good pounding." Kimani said laughing. "Well, my bed is still a virgin and I don't want her first time to be with you jumping like a crazy person." I said laughing. "Well shit, you're a virgin so it looks like your bed will get some before you do." Kimani said laughing and dodging the pillow that I threw at her. "So, are you ready for Tampa, we leave in a few weeks?" Kimani asked sitting next to me on my bed. We were leaving at the end of June, so we can learn our way around Florida and get accustomed to the new env
Chapter 1Essence's POV: 3 weeks later "Are you going to help me move this stuff in the apartment or are you going to stare at all the guys who walk past?" I asked, glaring at Kimani. I have taken in six boxes compared to her two. "Yeah, yeah I'm coming geez, you so in a rush it's still early and we just got here can we take a breather?" Kimani reply grabbing a box and taking it inside the apartment. We left late last night so we could get to Florida early in the morning so we were running on fumes by now which meant we had little to no sleep. But I wanted to at least get most of the stuff in the apartment before we take a break. Because once Kimani stops it will be impossible to get her to finish moving everything in. "Let's just finish getting the bed and the couch in the apartment then we can go to the campus to look around and grab some food but that's after a shower and a nap." I said feeling tired myself. "Okay let's do that bec
Chapter 2Syncere POV: “Yo watch out! You walking like you about to go beat somebody ass for eating your last piece of cake.” I said, as a short dark brown skin girl ran into me as I was going to the pickup line to get me and Shawn's food. “Excuse me.” The girl said stepping to look up at me. At my six feet four inches height, she was maybe five feet and some inches in height. She was barely reaching my chest. “No problem you good.” I replied finally able to see who ran into me. She had a pretty face with slanted brown eyes that were so light it almost looked like you chould through them. For a big girl she was really pretty. “Hey, can I get by to pick up my food?” I asked, as she stared at me. Snapping out of her haze, she moved around me quickly. I smiled at how she blushed and seem embarrassed, that I caught her staring at me. “Oh yea, sorry I wasn't looking where I was going.” She responded, brushing past me like she was running from the cops. Just then my pho
Chapter 3 Syncere's POV: continued “Well since we're introducing ourselves, I'm Jasmine, but everyone calls me Jazz and Syn's girlfriend.” My girl Jasmine said Sarcastically, as her and her friends Leah walked to our table like they owned the place. I know how my baby attitude is, she can go from zero to a hundred real quick. I didn't want her and her dumb ass friend Leah attacking these girls for no reason. So I needed to put an end to this real quick. Getting up, my lunch forgotten at this point. “Hey bae, we had to share this table to eat, because this place is crowded as hell. Essence and Kimani were nice enough to share their table with us.” I said, quickly to defuse the situation. Jazz looked around, and sucked her teeth. “Seriously? I see three open booths, that they could have sat at.” Jazz said with an attitude, pointing at three empty booths, and damn if the crowd hadn't thinned out and they were tables available too. Here comes the bullshit, now Essence and
Chapter 4SYNCERE'S POV: "Yo! What the hell was that about? You had no reason to act the way you just did." I said sitting down in my chair to finish my lunch. "Because you never gave me a reason to." Jazz answered back. "Please tell me what I did? Because we were eating and laughing that's it." I said shaking my head. "Those chicks were clearly flirting and that's the problem; yall can't see when chicks be flirting with yall." Jazz's friend Leah chimed in. "You sound dumb, how the hell you know they were flirting? When you couldn't even hear what we were talking about." Shawn cut in. "Shut up Shawn you ain't nothing but a man whore, so you don't care that those girls were flirting. Knowing you're nasty ass I'm sure you got their number and will be hooking up with one of them before the week is out. You don't care if they're ugly, fat, and nasty looking, as long as they're easy. Which I'm sure they are, you could care less about looks or size." Jazz sai
Chapter 5Syncere's POV: Continued She gave me the kind of kiss that makes my dick jump every time and she knows it. "The movie starts at eight so come to my spot like six." She said with a devilish smile, getting into her car. "Alright bet.” I replied closing the door once she was in. "Come on let's go, before we’re late." Shawn said already crossing the street. I had to jog to catch up with him. "Damn, wait up." I said. "Shit you over there wasting time sucking up to your girl, trying not to get your ass beat for talking to those girls earlier. I'm not trying to run drills after practice." Shawn said, laughing. "Fuck you, nobody getting their ass whipped, but I will be tapping that ass later tonight, while you're lonely ass, is at home watching TV by yourself." I shot back. "Shit if I am it's by choice I don't have the money or the patience to deal with these girls. You see that shit you have to go through with your girl, we were supposed to BnD Jazz
Chapter 6 Essence POV: August 4th My alarm clock blared angrily, groaning I rolled over and peaked at the clock to see if I can get a few more minutes of sleep, but it was six forty-five a.m. which means my clock said, “if you don't get your ass up you're going to be late for class, so it's above me now I have done my job.” Then my second alarm goes off and says, “get the hell up before you're late for the very first day of college.” Whining as I got up, looked for my robe, finding it on my love seat. I went into the kitchen, turned my oven on three hundred degrees, grabbed some biscuits out of the fridge, then grabbed a cookie sheet. I place a biscuit on the sheet and put it in the oven before walking out of the kitchen. Then I headed to the shower while my biscuits baked. My cell started to ring with the sound of DMX you're gonna make me lose my mind. I answered without looking because I already know who it was. "What the hell do you want Kiki?" I asked? "Rise and shine
Chapter 7 Three weeks later: “Where the hell is this dude?” I said to myself. This tutoring session was supposed to start at six thirty and it’s nine forty-five. I still had an assignment I needed to complete for my marketing class, that was due tomorrow at eight a.m. So I already know, I'm going to be up late to finish my own assignment. Last week the dean’s secretary text me with, the dates and times of my first tutoring session. “Hey, are you Essence Nelson?" A tall, sexy, light skin guy with curly hair asked me, as he walked up to my table. Lord let me tell you, this man is fine, fine. Realizing I was still sitting with my mouth gapped open and staring, I snapped out of the lust fog I was in. "Yeah that's me.” I said in response. "I'm Trenton, but most people call me Trent. Sorry I'm late, practice went over the usual time." He said putting his books on the table with a thud. I was trying to be understanding, but he still smelled like outside, because of practice, and
Somewhere off campusFriday: 3pmUnique and an Unknown friend: “Were you able to do it?” Unique asked his friend. “Yes, I did it, you better hope this doesn't fall back on me. I could get fired from my job, I really like this job and the pay is good.” His friend said looking nervous. “Calm your ass down, you won’t get caught, and remember you’re a convicted felon and I'm the reason you got this job in the first place. If my tech guy didn't scrub your convictions when the job checked you wouldn't have gotten it. You just make sure that you are the one who has to come back on campus when they call.” “How do you know they will be calling us back out there?” “Because I made sure of it, I have someone on the inside who will make sure that the school will be calling yall back.” Unique said smiling as his plan came together. “Well after this we're even, I am not going to do this any….” “You are done when I say you're done. I can still have my guy make an ano
The Gym:Friday: 7am Syncere and Shawn: “Coach why do we always have to get up at the crack of dawn to do this every year, and the results stay the same. They just can't stand that we beat them every time we play them and they can't take that ass whipping we put on them." Trenton said as the team walked into the gym, everyone grumbling, their hoodies pulled low. Syncere and Shawn walked in last looking like the rest of their teammates. “Oh stop your whining we practice much earlier than this, besides we need to get this done and over with before the game tomorrow. There’re several programs that will be happening in here today and this is the only time we could get these test done and over with. So let's line up, the technicians are already waiting for you and I hope you all have a full bladder. Remember the last time yall didn't listen and we spent have the day waiting for some of yall to go, if that happens this time you will run drills until you piss or throw-
Chapter 178Syncere and Shawn's apartment:Syncere's POV: Continued “Where the hell have you been, we have been calling and texting you all night long. We have been worried sick.” My mother said as soon as I opened the door. It seems she brought the entire crew with her. I see Shawn sitting in the chair with his head down. “Don't look at him, he is in hot water along with you. He was walking in here just as we were pulling up.” My mother said meeting me at the door. I looked at my mom in confusion. “Mom, I didn't know I had to check in with you when I decide to stay out. I am a grown man in my own place, I think I can stay out without having to call my mother.” I said walking around her. I saw my dad sitting in my chair watching the sports channel not even paying attention to us. “Hey pops, why didn't you stop mom from coming here on a rampage.” I said, giving him a dap as I went to sit next to him. “ Well I tried son, but she started crying talking about yo
Chapter 177Heading to the Syncere's apartment:Syncere's POV: “Tell me again why the hell you have me up this fucking early? Only legs and vampires are up this early in the damn morning, I'm telling you now I am not a morning person. Don't ever wake me up this early ever again, unless you just died and need me to call the morgue and even than at least call four people first.” Essence said groaning as I drove us towards my apartment. I had to hurry and get home in order to go to the gym for our meeting before the homecoming game Saturday. I laughed as Essence tried to get comfortable in my truck. “I'm sorry baby I promise I won't wake you up from now on, but I couldn't help it this time. I have to meet coach and the team for a meeting today, and you have two classes this morning. Remember Kymoni has your car, you can lay down at my crib, until your first class, plus I want you waiting in my bed when I get back.” I said pulling her hand to my mouth kissing her wrist.

Fuck!” Syncere groaned as she started to stroke him fast, then slow, then used her tongue to licked the head, before starting the process all over. The different sensations were driving him crazy. “Fuck, baby!” Syncere said breathing so hard you would think he was playing basketball and not getting his dick sucked. Essence turned up the sound, by making wet slurping sounds. She sped up the pace, as Syncere watched his dick disappeared in her mouth. “Oh god don't stop babe, fuck don't stop.” “Huh, I couldn't hear you did you want me to stop.” Esse

Essence wrapped her arms around his neck standing on her tip toes to meet him halfway. Syncere pulled back looking into her light brown eyes, that he can now admire without the guilt and it felt fucking good. “I mean it Essence, you have to cut Unique loose. I don't trust or like him around you.” Syncere said, looking at Essence. “I heard you the first time, I said I would. I do have to talk to him to tell him that we can't be friends anymore. I had warned him more than once that if he can't stay in the fri
Chapter 174Essence's apartment: He was serious there was no room for an argument, so Essence just nodded her head. “Well I'm about to head back to campus, Essence I will swing by in the morning to pick you up. How about be ready, because you know you don't like to wake up on time.” Kymoni said grabbing her coat and Essence's keys. “Don't worry about it, I’ll bring her to the campus tomorrow, Shawn let Kymoni drop you off at the house.” Syncere said, not even bothering to look back, he walked Essence back towards her room. “Uh, how you just gone, volunteer me to take his ass home without even asking me?” Kymoni said, but she got ignored as the door slammed before them. Kymoni rolled her eyes before turning to walk out of the apartment. “You better come on or you will get left.” Kymoni said as she walked out of the door. Shawn didn't say a word he was just happy that he would get to talk to Kymoni and tell her that he had made his decision. Kymoni did not wan
Chapter 173The family dinner: Continued “Mom, I don't have a guest, you invited Jazz not me, so she's your guest. It isn't my job to keep her entertained, that's on you.” Syncere snapped back at his mom feeling frustrated. Sharon gasped at hearing her son's tone, she was on the verge of telling him how rude he was being but the look her husband was giving her kept her from saying what she had to say. “Mother Sharon it is ok, I don't expect Syn to keep me entertained. I am glad that you invited me and still feel like I am a part of this family.” Jazz said, with a sad smile. “Are you guys ready to order?” A waitress said breaking the awkward silence. “Yes, we're ready to order.” Thomas said answering quickly. Syncere's phone ping, and he frowned because it wasn't a text but a DM which he hardly ever gets. “Please don't be rude son, allow the lady to take your order before you put your nose back in your phone, please.” Sharon said, giving her son a disapproving look. S
Chapter 172The family dinner: “Even though our sons are just getting here, because they refuse to ride in the van with us. I just want to say that, all of us being here, with just a few missing fills my heart with so much happiness. This is all I have ever wanted since you were born, I have wanted nothing but the best for you. I hope you know that your happiness is all I've ever wanted for you.” Sharon said, her tears falling on her cheeks as she looked at Syncere then at Jazz who blushed. “Oh, I feel the same way about my Shawn, all I have ever wanted was for him to be happy. It hurt my soul seeing you mourn the loss of the love of your life. God saw how much that young lady meant to you, and saw how much you were hurting yourself, and blessed you by giving you the love of your life back. I couldn't be any happier than I am now that my baby is back to his normal self. Tomorrow we will celebrate with family and friends. We will watch you two rekindle the love you though
