Chapter 100Syncere's POV: Continued “Are you going with your dad tomorrow?” Shawn asked me while I was deep in thought. “Yea, I really want to eat some of that southern home cooking. You see what we have to eat around here, and you remember how Jazz’s food tasted. I hate to even say this but I am glad that we don't have to sit and eat none of that food she was going to ruin, burn, and not season.” I said, as Shawn grimace then laughed when I described all the ways my baby was going to ruin any food she tried to cook. “Well I am going to go and try to talk to Kymoni even though I don't think she will want anything to do with me. I am going to at least tell her how sorry I am about how I reacted to her, and how I fucked up. Essence was right I fucked up, I should have never thought Kymoni would do anything like that. The girls I use to fuck and dump were the type of girls that would do that, but she was different and I should have known that.” Shawn said, seriou
Chapter 101Sunday Morning: 9amEssence's PV: “Momma we been up all-night prepping all the food, baking pies and cakes. Did you even sleep last night?” I asked as me and Kiki groaned, crawling into the kitchen. Yall my momma had woke us up this morning with gospel music so loud, I wondered why my neighbors hadn't called the cops. Then I remembered that momma had introduced and hug every neighbor that spoke to me. To her that made them family automatically and she treated them as such.. By the time she walked away from them, they were calling her momma Nelson, that southern charm is lethal. “Yes, I had a good night sleep I don't know why yall needs ten hours of sleep. Back in my day.” My momma said and we groaned, rolling our eyes not wanting to hear another story about how my grandparents head them up at four a.m. every morning to do chores before school and then came home to go to the fields and pick fruits and vegetables for extra money and didn't get to sleep until two
Chapter 102Sunday: 1pm Sunday Dinner: Anthony's apartment: Anthony and Unique “What time are we heading over to Essence's house?” Unique asked as he tied his belt looking at his self in the mirror making sure his fit was straight. Anthony came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. “I told you we are going to head over there in about half an hour. I don't know why you're so in a rush, I told you that you're not going to date Essence she’s, my friend. I will not allow you to hurt her, I can tell you she will not be ok with dating you if she knows the truth.” Anthony said as he dropped his towel, his dick rested on his thigh as he sat down to lotion is body. Unique stared at his dick and his mouth watered. Unique wasn’t gay, he was enjoying is college years with no limits. Him and Anthony had been fooling around since their Sophomore year, it wasn't anything serious he has had girlfriends and things never got messy. Anthony knows the deal and he
Chapter 103Sunday Dinner begins: 2pm The food was laid out across the kitchen counter all in serving dishes to be passed around. My brothers and cousins were leaving once they got their plates, so it would only be me, my momma, Kiki and her daddy, Mr. Jamison, Syncere, Shawn, Unique, and Anthony eating at the table. In my house my table was small because it was only me, but of course my brother found a folding table big enough to seat everyone, but it would be put in my living room which I didn't like not one bit. “HEY WE BROUGHT THE TABLE AND WE FOUND SOME STRANGERS WHO WERE BEGGING FOR FOOD OUTSIDE SO WE INVITED THEM TO EAT WITH US!” I Heard Big C yell as he walked in. “I know you fu…I know you lying I'm telling you C if I will punch you in the face if you bring more peop.” Essence was saying as she came down the hall towards the door but stopped dead in her tracks when she came face to face with Syncere. Her words got caught in her throat, he was so fucking
Chapter 104Sunday Dinner:Essence's Bedroom:Syncere and Essence: He had only seen the bruises on her face when they were at the hospital. “I didn't say anything because I didn't want my mother and brothers to worry, and it's none of your business. You made it clear where your concerns lie, so stick with that and leave me alone.” Essence said, knocking Syncere's hand away from her, his touch made her skin burn and her body crave him. Syncere looked at Essence as she headed back into her closet. If she thought she would get away with what she said just now, she made a big fucking mistake. He thought as he went to her door and locked it, before storming into the closet to confront Essence. Syncere stormed into the closet as Essence was on her tip toes trying to reach the top shelf. She hissed again when she tried to do a little jump to reach it. Syncere reached above her easily and grabbed the tablecloth, and walked out of the closet. Essence followed with an atti
Chapter 105Sunday Dinner: The Living room: “Before we eat, I want to welcome all our guest, I am so glad to have met everyone of yall even though it started off on the wrong foot for some of us. Mr. Jamison, I heard it is your birthday and this feast is in honor of you and the fact that you have never had Southern food before, which is a crying shame. But we are about to fix your problem, I must tell you that I am not responsible for any addiction that my food may cause you.” Momma Nelson said with a smile that made Syncere’s mother frown and had Kiki and Essence looking at each other oddly. “Please call me Thomas, and I would like to thank you for this wonderful meal. This is by far the best gift I have ever gotten, and I will walk into this addiction happily with no regrets.” Mr. Jamison said smiling like a fool. “Uh, how about let's say grace so we can eat because I don't know what is happening.” Essence said as Kiki's father said a prayer. Essence and her mother
Chapter 106Sunday Dinner: ContinuedThe Living room: “Jazz, Leah, what the hell are you doing out of the hospital?” Syncere said, with Shawn right behind him. “The real question is how the hel.. I mean how they found out where I live?” Essence said coming to the door also. “Can we please come inside it is a little chilly out here and we can explain why we're here.” Jazz's mother said as she covered her daughter with a blanket. Momma Nelson looked at the weak girls and decided she wouldn't let those girls’ actions send her to hell. She was a caring person by nature and their actions wouldn't change or stop her from doing what's right even, if she isn't fond of them. “You can come in and say what you have to say and leave, and I will tell you the first disrespectful thing that comes out of your mouth will have my foot in your mouths and a belt across your asses even with bullet wounds. You don't believe me try me and find out.” Momma Nelson said as she stepped
Chapter 107If what could possibly go wrong was a person: Syncere was pissed, what the fuck was Jazz thinking. He couldn't believe that she would bring that shit up without talking to him first and what would possess her to do this shit at Essence's house. “Baby, I know it's a surprise, but I couldn't hold it in any longer. This is a new start for me; getting shot really made me put everything in perspective for me. I don't want to keep secrets from our family anymore. I hope you're not upset with me.” Jazz said crying when she saw Syncere was staring at Essence. “Hold on, I don't care about none of the crap you just said, who the hell gave you, my address? I didn't invite you and yes me and you don't get along so you knowing my address is a problem especially if it was given without my permission. Sorry for cussing momma.” Essence said interrupting the congratulations party. Her momma looked at her and saw her feelings were threatening to come out so s
Chapter 171The Pitt: 9pm Continued Essence, Kymoni, Unique, and Anthony: “Listen, I don't care if I have to take a spaceship, or teleport back to my dorm, I am not letting to dudes take my best friend home. What kinda drugs you on? You don't need to worry about me and how I will get back here.” Kymoni said, packing up her and Essence's food. “Look, I ALREADY SAID I WO….” “Hey what the fuck you yelling so loud?” Essence said, her eyes automatically snapped open, when Unique got loud. “Seems like he's getting pissed with me because I won't let him and Anthony take you home because you're too tired to drive yourself.” Kymoni said looking at Essence's whose eyes narrowed on Unique. “First of all, don't ever think you can talk to my friend any kinda way, that's the fastest way to get you cut and cut the fuck off. And just so we clear, whatever she says when it comes to me and my well-being is what the fuck it's gone be.” Essence said, suddenly wide awake, once s
Chapter 170A few hours before the competition: Unique and Unknown Unique was pissed after seeing how Syncere was acting around Essence it was clear to him something was going on between them. Essence was trying to play it off but he could see the way her eyes would linger on him a little too long or how they seem to always gravitate towards each other. This morning when he saw her, that's when he figured out that they had something going on. He knew because he had done the same thing with people he didn't want others to know he was dealing with. He immediately thought about Anthony, no one knew they were dealing with each other they hung out because of football, so people assume it was just a friendship base on football. He needed to change his plan if they were already involved then his initial plans were useless. He pulled out his phone and sent a text message to one of his homies outside of the school. He phone beeped a few seconds later, and it made h
Chapter 169In the Gym: “Hey, Essence why don't yall come too?” Shawn asked desperately, when he saw them backing away slowly. He wanted to be near Kymoni, so if he had the chance, he could tell her everything. Looking at them and then turning to look at Syn’s mom, that's when he knew he had just fucked up. Essence and Kymoni stopped in their tracks like they were hiding from a killer in a scary movie. Their eyes widen in shock, they were trying their best to be invisible. “Friend, you think they see us? Maybe we could act like we didn't hear Shawn yell at the top of his lungs inviting us to dinner, when he know damn well we not doing that, and he knows Syncere momma don't like us.” Essence said barely moving her lips. “Shawn, we have a reservation, so we can't add anymore people to the table. Plus we don't have enough room in the van for them, and this is a family event.” Sharon said, finally looking at them with a less then happy look on her face. “How is thi
Chapter 168The end of the competition: Continued“See what the hell I told yall, don't fuck with Essi because she is a fucking beast. That's why I didn't even look at it I knew she was going to go off, her jump shots always been clean hits every single time.” Kymoni said as everyone looked as Essence laughed at Shawn. Unique was celebrating with his teammates until he turned and saw Essence walking towards Syncere and the group. He ran over to Essence, spun her around, picked her up wrapping his hand around her ass throwing her over his shoulder easily. “GODAMNIT UNIQUE PUT ME DOWN! I SWEAR I'M FUCKING YOU UP PUT ME DOWN!” Essence yelled punching Unique in the back as hard as she could, but he didn't even flinch. Meanwhile Kymoni had to rush over to Syncere who was clearly pissed and tried to play it off by talking to him. Unique finally put Essence down, she turned to him and told his ass off before she walked off looking pissed. Syncere's eyes were on Essence, he w
Chapter 167The end of the competition: “Syn, how did you let her get so many points on you like that?” Jazz asked Syncere with an attitude. “First off, this is just a game, I wasn't going to go hard at her, plus did you not see that big dude trying to take my ass out. Besides she only managed six points.” Syncere said to Jazz shrugging his shoulders. “Yea right don't try to play me, I crossed your ass up out there.” Kymoni said once she came back to life. Essence almost had to do CPR on her ass she was breathing so hard she almost passed out. “And for your information, Syncere didn't let me do shit. I’m just that good and I didn't have to brag like you did, to only get three points. You did all that bragging about Syncere teaching you how to play, but only got three points. Seems like all he was trying to do is get you to activate your slut mode so he could bang you in the bathroom.” Kymoni said making Essence spit out the water she was drinking. Jazz was fuming
Chapter 166Let the games began: “ALRIGHT FOLKS, AS I SAID WE WILL BE PLAYING A GAME OF BASKETBALL. THE RULES ARE AS FOLLOWS, THE WOMEN ON EACH TEAM ARE GOING TO BE THE ONE TO GET THEIR TEAM THEIR POINTS! SHE WILL HAVE ONE MINUTE TO SHOOT AS MANY SHOTS AS SHE CAN! EVERY SHOT IS WORTH ONE POINT FOR THE TEAM. IF SHE MAKES A SHOT FROM THE THREE POINT LINE, THEN THAT WILL BE THREE POINTS! NOW THE DEFENDERS WELL BE THE MEN FROM A RANDOM TEAM.

Chapter 165In the Gymnasium: Continued Thursday 5:30pm His wife eyes widen at the use of her maiden name, he only calls her that when he is truly pissed at her. The last time he did they slept in different rooms for almost a month and had to go to counseling. She was shocked at his audacity to speak to her in that manner in front of their child and his friend. Her anger was boiling now, but she knew better then to provoke him in front of everyone so she simply smiled and nodded. “Yes, I apologize my intentions weren’t to hurt you in anyway, you won't have to worry about me saying anything about it again, ok?” Sharon said, holding Jazz by her shoulders. “It's ok mother Jamison. It is hard to hear him say that we aren't together, but I understand why you're trying to speak up for me. I really appreciate you for trying, but I will be ok.” Jazz said wiping the tear that escaped her eyes. Sharon pulled her into a tight hug. “Don't you worry about anything, I will
Chapter 164Campus Gym: Thursday 5pmone hour before the competition “This brings back so many memories for us, we had so much to look forward too. Things were just as lively as it is now, but more fun, of course we had better clothes and didn't need to show our bodies the way these young girls do now.” Syncere's mom said as they walked into the Gym. The president had asked her and her husband to be the judges of one of the competitions that day. They couldn't judge the competition their son was in but the others they could be the judge of. They would sit in the crowd when it was their son's turn to compete. “Oh I do remember those days; I was a year behind you guys but when I came to this school it changed my life and it was where I met my wonderful husband. I wish he could be here to see Shawn compete today, we are used to seeing him play basketball but we have never seen him do any other sport, so this should be fun. His father should be here on Sunday for th
Chapter 163 The Dormitory parking lot in Syncere's Truck: Syncere and Jazz: “Thanks for the ride, Syn, I really appreciate it. I know you didn't want to hang out with me today, but it was fun it was kinda like a walk down memory lane.” Jazz said, as Syn pulled his truck into the parking lot of the dorm. “Jazz, I already told you I have nothing against you. I treated you like a friend, so there is no thanks needed for me dropping you off.” “Ok, so friend, are you seeing anyone now?” Jazz asked trying to smile, but Syn knew the last thing she wanted to here was that I was seeing someone. Especially if that someone was Essence, she would blow a gasket. “We may be friends but our friendship isn't on a level that I can tell you who I was dating, which I am not.” Syncere said, shaking his head. Jazz frown like she didn't believe him. If he was telling the truth, then it confuses her on why he broke up with her in the first place. She was lost in thought when she
