My gaze moved to her approaching figure in adoration as a small smile greeted my lips, her hair was released into an afro that stood with pride while her recently taper-faded hair continued to accentuate her beautiful features.
The oil stains and numerous other marks on her tank-top as well as her opened short sleeve buttoned-down work shirt became evident as she stepped under the illuminating rays of the street light, and I lifted my hand turning down down the music as she opened the door, her brown eyes immediately meeting mine while-
"You got here quick," she announced interrupting my ongoing thoughts.

Samantha's POV"How does it taste?" I asked watching as she began to chew the food I had recently prepared."Better than it looks," she mumbled making me chuckle as I continued to enjoy the calming sound of the rain outside."Do you still wanna order something?""No, this is actually eatable," she pointed out sounding surprised."Is that compliment?" I questioned smiling as I gathered a forkful from my plate."I just didn't expect for it to taste like this, especially after you seasoned it with the packet that comes in the ramen," she explained as I continued to chew my food."What else can you make with ramen?" she asked actually sounding eager to know, the fact pulling gratitude into my body since I knew her taste in life was far from this."Pizza, las-""Pizza?" she questioned in disbelief."Yeah,""Okay Sam," she uttered clearly entertained, not knowing how much the mere question meant.

Destiny's POV"It's at the end of the hall," The woman instructed and I released a small thank you, making my way over to it.I lifted my hand knocking on the door gently before pulling it open to see her sitting around her desk, her usually curly hair straightened increasing the displayed length."How was last night?" Mesi asked the minute I closed the door referring to my outing with my roommate, and I released a small smile as her eyes ascended to meet me."It was okay, I actually came home early," I explained as I began walking towards her, taking the time to appreciate the beauty of her office which practically mirrored her personality from the neatly stacked books on her desk to the black and grey that drowned the room."Really?" she questioned as I sat down in the chair before her desk."I felt like a third wheel the entire night so I just went home" I replied since my roommate had spent the majority of the time with

Samantha's POV I pushed open the entrance to the apartment complex stepping outside, the cool night breeze immediately greeting my beautifully melanated skin as I began my journey across the parking lot. The light from the moon illuminated my figure as I began tuning out my surroundings, willingly redirecting my attention to my thoughts. It was quiet nights like these that forced me to be grounded in the present, from the star-filled skies to the trees that swayed back and forth to the music sung by the wind. Nature and just life overall was a beautiful thing and it was crazy how unappreciated this reality would remain until it became lost.

Samantha's POV"You know you low-key an alcoholic," I pointed out amused as Mesi began refilling her glass with wine, my words earning a small sound of laughter from her as well as Destiny."Are you sure you don't want a glass?" She questioned curiously,as I continued to appreciate the way her newly straightened hair flowed past her shoulders allowing her features to become more prominent."I'm sure," I voiced smiling as the sweet sound of the softly played jazz settled next to my ears bringing a sense of calm as I leaned backwards relaxing on the couch, hating the slight pain in my lower back."I'm going to call my roommate and let her know I'm going to be home late," Destiny announced standing up and I released my gaze allowing it to follow her as she moved into the kitchen."Will you at least try it?" Mesi questioned and I returned my eyes to her as she directed the glass towards me."Alright," I agreed, appreciatin

Mesi's POV I stood removing my jeans as well as my underwear as their lips met for a heated hold, the sight only serving to fuel the sense of impatience that already resided in me. This moment was one that I had written on the walls of mind on the nights I was alone with lingering desire, and seemingly after all the time spent with my imagination, my own thoughts never did this moment any justice. Sam's gentle nature seeped into her every action, from her hesitant touches that were left to utter silent questions of consent, to the way her lips danced slowly with every kiss and how she held onto our bodies as if our very limbs were as fragile as our guarded hearts. My hands went to the hem of my shirt pulling it over my head before they focused on my bra releasing th

Samantha's POVMy mind continued to buzz with heavy thoughts as my eyes fell from the ceiling to their naked bodies that were currently wrapped soulfully into mine. Our embraced figures had me faced with a feeling of peace I had never experienced, one that was solely created by their comforting presence that impacted me even in their moments of slumber.As seconds passed my sense of logic began to glare at the silence that the early morning had awarded to my usual busy ears, since it did nothing but weighed down my body with things that were better forgotten.I was caught between laying here to battle with my unwanted thoughts and going to work early to gift myself with a ready-made distraction.The current resentment I held towards silence had seemingly become a part of my daily routine, because of the light that it constantly sheds on the list of reasons my heart had composed explaining why I needed to forgive myself.It wa

Samantha's POVThe sound of their muffled conversation echoed around the room as the water continued to grace the recently washed dishes, ridding them of all signs of soap. This current task was one I had always appreciated since it allowed a sense of peace to settle inside of me for reasons I had yet to uncover."Sam," I heard Mesi call out as I lifted my hand placing the plates in the dish drainer that was situated on my right."Yeah," I answered softly as my body battled with lingering exhaustion despite their well-acquainted friendship with each other, and I couldn't help but to release the yawn that pressed against the barriers that were lips."Wasn't there a TV here?" She inquired as I l turned the handle, which in return halted the pouring water from the faucet."Yeah, it's in the bedroom," I explained as I lifted the kitchen towel drying my hands."You wanna watch something?"

Samantha's POVSweat travelled down my skin at a slow pace as I stood with another box in hand, ignoring the slight pain in my healing palm as I did. I took steady steps towards the vehicle as the chatter of the other workers around me echoed throughout the space, bringing about a sonder feeling."Is that the last one?" Joel asked curiously as I rested the box carefully next to the others in the back of the van."Yeah," I replied glancing at his approaching figure for a split second before moving to close both doors at the back concealing the multiple packages that were to be shipped."Do you need me to come with you?" I asked eager to know as I began removing my gloves, immediately inspecting my injured hand.
