Chapter 12Essence pov: 6:25pm “You sure you don’t want me to stick around just in case it’s another asshole that you have to deal with?” Kiki asks. “Absolutely not you have work you need to do and I can handle myself, you already know.” I answered. “Okay, but you better call me as soon as you get home.” Kiki said, getting up from our table at the pit. After the gym we decided to head over here for a smoothie, and chill until my session started. “You already know I’m going to call your ass.” I said rolling my eyes at her. “Yeah I know, alright I’ll talk to you later.” Kiki said walking to the exit. It's now six thirty p.m. glancing at my cell, it was starting to look like I had another Trent who will show up late and think I’m supposed to be doing his work while he does nothing. I was getting mad all over again. “What are you doing here?" Syncere asked from behind me. Smiling, I turned to face him, damn if he ain’t fine. Did I tell yall he had dreads, sm
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
