Chapter 69Syncere's POV: ContinuedWhen I got to the room Jazz was sitting on the bed with her head down crying. I sighed knowing that she was crying because of me. “Syn do you know how humiliated I was last night when you just left me with your parents, after I was attacked by that whale. Do you see my face? Now I want be able to cheer for the next six weeks. Then to make matters worse you left and didn't even come home or answer your phone. Where were you? Where did you stay last night? Where you with…..?” Jazz asked but didn't finish her question before she broke down crying again. Which made me feel like complete shit. “Listen I got home at three this morning, I was pissed at Leah and you. You know damn well that you and Leah weren't attacked, you and Leah were attacking Kymoni and Essence evened the fight. I left you with my parents because I knew they would make sure you were good. Kymoni and Essence were arrested for no reason, since this was me and Shawn's house,
Chapter 70Tuesday 1pm Lillie's Soul kitchenEssence's POV: I sat across from Kiki as she stared at me and I acted like I didn't know she was staring a whole in my damn forehead. “Essi, please don't make me ask you again, tell me what’s up with you?” Kiki said crossing her arms over her chest. “You already asked me that four hundred and eighty-seven times since you dragged me out the house. I told you nothings up, after our stint in prison I am done tutoring Syncere. I told him that I wouldn't say anything about it to the president. He can send me his assignments and I will let him know if it’s correct and that's it. I feel bad about all of this shit, but I don't regret protecting myself or my mental, but I feel bad that Syncere might lose everything if the president finds out.” I said finally looking up at Kiki, I knew I had to stick to the truth as much as possible or she will see right through that shit. I wasn't about to tell her about the fucking amazing
Chapter 71Lillie's Soul KitchenSyncere's POV: “I heard about this place, they said that the food is real southern food. They say it's like Thanksgiving everyday. I promised myself the next time were in town we would eat here, the reservation list was booked until next year. I had to use my name and connection to get the reservation we got.” My mother said as we all walked into the restaurant. Leah was hanging on Shawn's arm and he was pissed about it, Leah was acting like she could barely walk. Jazz had wrapped my arm around her as we walked, her anger from earlier was gone. As soon as we entered the restaurant I felt it, I don't know why but I looked around and spotted Essence immediately. She wasn't even facing me and I could tell it was her. Spotting Kymoni just confirmed I was right. She had her braids up in two buns like Chun Li, exposing the back of her neck which caused my dick to jump, just thinking about how every time I kissed her there, her pussy would s
Chapter 72 Essence's POV: “So you can't say hello Essence.” I heard from behind me and it sent a shiver down my spine. Why didn't he just go back to his family and his girl friend. I sighed to prepare for this hello. “It’s not that I can't say hello, it's the fact that saying hello to you, with your girlfriend any where near you, will end up with me going in her mouth and me in jail again.” I said not bothering to turn around. “Damn you can't even look at me when you're talking to me? It's like that now?” He asked like he was offended. I turned around so I could make sure I was reading his tone right. “Syncere, you know that me and you in the same vicinity never goes well and it is about to be proven right now.” I said as I looked pass him to see his parents and his girlfriend coming our way. “What are you….” Syncere started to say. “Son where is Shawn going, we saw him grab the girl and dragged her out of here. Was she about to cause a scene?” His mother ask
Chapter 73Essence's POV: continued When I tell yall my head was on a swivel you would have thought I was possessed. I looked from Jazz then to Leah who were smirking at me. I turned to Syncere who's mouth was wide open in shock. I turned back to Jazz with my brow raised. Giving her a chance to clean this shit up, but she smirked at me like she won some kind of prize. Her face said, yea you made me pull out the big guns. I looked back at Syncere again and he looked pissed. Jazz looked at him and her smirk dropped from her face and she immediately picked up her menu to avoid Syncere’s gaze. Ok let's do this, “Wow you told me a lot of things about me, some of which I didn't even know about myself. But before I get into everything I would like to first apologize to you girls and when Kiki gets back in here, I am sure she will also apologize for messing up yall faces like we did. We do not take pleasure in beating the bricks off mentally disabled people, but to be fair y
Chapter 74Essence's POV: Continued Syncere’s mom quickly covered her face, so I wouldn't count her wrinkles. What I said was complete bullshit , but people tend to think southern folks had a lot of superstition, old southern ways of solving problems and sicknesses. Syncere had to cough to keep from laughing. “That is a good quality in any wife, every man loves a home cooked meal when he comes home.” His daddy said, causing his wife to look at him like he was taking a dig at her, which I will bet money she has no idea how to cook. “Uh Mr. Jamison I know how to cook as well. I am always cooking for Syn when I visit his house. You love my cooking too bae don't you?” Jazz said, looking at Syncere. He lift a brow at her like he had no idea what the hell she was talking about, Which let me know she don't know how to cook shit. “Essence, I didn't know you were such a good cook, me nor my dad has ever had real southern food before. Maybe you could cook us some of that southern fo
Chapter 75Lillie's Soul Kitchen:Syncere's POV: “Finally, I am glad they're gone now we can enjoy the rest of our lunch.” Jazz said rolling her eyes and shaking her head as Essence and Kiki left the restaurant. “Syncere what were you thinking asking that girl to cook for your father? You made us look like some kind of charity case begging for food. I hope you know we will not be attending that dinner.” My mom said with a look of discuss. “Speak for yourself, I am definitely going to my birthday dinner, it would be rude to not show up.” My dad said and I dapped him up. “Syncere, I don't understand why you insist on having that girl around. She has caused nothing but trouble for this basketball season and our relationship and yet you still find a way to keep them around. Everything she does you protect her and leave me high and dry. Ever since she has been here you have not have my back even once. Everything I ever do is for you and our future, I feel like I am
Chapter 76 Thursday The Pit: 3pm 4 hours til game night,Essence's POV: “I don't care what you say, you are coming to the game with me. If you’re forcing me to do this damn dinner on Sunday; then you are bringing your ass to this damn game with me tonight. Shawn threaten to come to my dorm every day for the next week if I don't show up. If he does, then I will be in jail calling you to pick me up because all his little groupies get in their feelings when they see him giving the fat girl attention. You know what never mind I just came up with the best plan, I don't go to the game and I pack my bags and come to your house until this blows over.” Kiki said and my eyes widen. “Hell no! Nope, what time the game start again, we should get there early to make sure we get good seats to make sure Shawn can see you. How about you were a big neon green shirt to make sure he won't miss you.” I said, as Kiki burst out laughing. She know damn well she not staying at my house
Jazz's Dorm: ContinuedSyncere and Jazz: Jazz smiled and snuggled into him, she hoped that once he forgave her about earlier, maybe she could convince him to stay or take her to his place. She had loved living with him while she recovered from her accident, it felt like they were already married. She knew she had to do damage control, it would be best if she spoke first. Syncere sat at her desk chair and not next to her, that made her frown and become even more nervous. “Baby, I want to apologize for telling everyone about our engagement. I know we promised that we would only tell everyone once we graduated, but with the shooting it was like my life flashed before my eyes. Either one of us could have died and no one would know that we were engage. No one would know that we loved each other so much that we had taken the steps towards solidifying our relationship, by getting engaged. We knew we were it, for each other, that we were soulmates.” “Jazz, please just stop, I came
Outside Jazz's Dorm:Syncere: Syncere sat in his truck as he tried to gather his thoughts on everything he wanted to say to Jazz. He knew that what he was about to do will hurt her, which is the last thing he wanted to do to her. They had been through hell and back and stuck together, he would be lying if he said he didn't love her. But the truth is, it wasn't the kind of love that went with being in love with someone. He had to face the truth that he and Jazz formed a trauma bond because of the loss of their baby. He was going to try and do this with as much patience and understanding that she will be hurt and grieving all over again. He also admitted to himself that she wouldn't be the only one feeling the pain of their breakup. He knew Essence was right that he would need time to get himself mentally together before he could step to her. A knock on his truck window scared the shit out of him. “Damn Shawn what the hell man, I almost had a heart attack, w
Leah's RoomShawn and Leah: `` Shawn stormed into Leah's room, it was completely dark, he felt around for the light switch. When he finally found it, he spotted Leah laying on the floor flat on her back. Her night gown was up around her waist, blood was seeping through the top of her shirt. “I'm so sorry Shawn, I didn't want to call the ambulance because they would call my parents. I just need to get to the bathroom and check my wound. Then you can go back to whatever you were doing.” Leah said as she cried. “Damn it Leah, why the hell are you trying to do this shit by yourself. You're going to mess around and end up in the hospital with some kind of infection.” Shawn said picking her up, taking her to the bed, he ran to the bathroom and got a wet cloth and a fresh towel. When he got back to the room, he stopped in his tracks seeing Leah with her shirt lifted revealing her breast. He was just now noticing that she was completely naked underneath her gown. Alt
Leah's Dorm Room:Leah and Shawn: “I'm sorry Shawn I told my roommate not to call you, I am trying to do this on my own. My parents would make me leave school if they found out that you had to come all the way over here because I fell in the bathroom. I don't know what happened I was trying by best not to wet my wound, that I didn't see my body wash was leaking on the floor, and the next thing I know I slipped. I didn't think it would be this hard, then I have this ugly scar from the operation, everything is just so messed up.” Leah said crying as Shawn stepped into the shower, getting wet as he turned the shower off and picked Leah up off the floor. his hair and clothes were now wet from the shower and Leah’s wet body. He quickly grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her and walked out of the community bathroom. “You got shot a few days ago and had major surgery, and you left the hospital against the doctor's orders. He told you that you can't do this
Chapter 108The Cleanup:Essence's apartment: “What type of cockamamie stuff was that? I have never seen such shameless young ladies like that before. The fact that their mothers just stood there and allowed their daughters to come into this house and disrespect the owner, that's the devils work right there. I'm glad I live in a town where we know better than to disrespect a person in their home, because that's the fastest way to get a buck shot to the ass.” Momma Nelson said putting her jacket on as Kiki's dad carried their luggage to the rental car, they had to catch their flight back to South Carolina. After everyone left, they put the food in the freezer and clean the house. Unique had stayed around trying to get some alone time with Essence, but Momma Nelson always found something for him to do. After about an hour, Anthony said they had to leave because Sundays were early nights for the football team. “Momma, ever since I been here, I have seen and hea
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 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 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 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
