Vonte looked at all the happy couples in disgust. Even Darion had a girl but he was a hoe anyway.

August took a deep breath looking around for Alijah. It's been a whole week since that lil fight they had. He wanted to apologize for what he said. He was pissed off because of what she did knowing what Delilah did to his first seed.

"What da' fuck?" August said looking up seeing Alijah and Bryson walking in together.

"Oh shit. Is she tryna' die?" Vonte said.

"If so today is the day." August said walking over to them.

"Hey ba-

"Wassup wit' y'all?" He asked pointing between the two.

"He offered me a ride to school today my car needs an oil change and some air in two tires." Alijah said.

August chuckled. "Why you ain't call me?"

"Cause we not talking." Alijah said.

"Y'all talking right now." Vonte said putting his two cents in.

"Man shutup." Bryson said getting irritated.

"Who da' fuck you think ya' talkin' to?" August said.

"I'm talking to him right there ain't nobody got time for you." Bryson said.

August and Vonte started laughing. "Nigga youn want none." August said.

Alijah took a deep breath. "Bryson just go somewhere. Anywhere but here."

"A'ight shawty." He said walking away.

"Yo who is dat nigga?" August said laughing.

"I don't understand you. It's Valentine's Day and you acting like this really August?" Alijah said.

"Alijah I'm not doin' nothing wrong baybeh. What am I doin' wrong? Yeah I said what I said but I didn't mean it and you know that." He said.

Alijah looked at him. "Whatever August. No gift? Nothing. Looks like you doing a lot wrong. Happy Valentine's Day." She said throwing a red bag at him before walking away.

August huffed before shaking his head and opening the bag seeing a bunch of candy and the bear that Alijah won for him at the carnival it also had a card in it.

August I don't even know what brought us together in the first place or why we even decided to get in each other's life. I'm sorry for what I did. I know what I did was wrong and I want to make it up to you. I couldn't afford much but I got you some candy and the bear I won for you at the carnival. I also wrote a poem but I left it in my locker. August I love you with all of my heart. Happy Valentine's Day.

P.s. Even though we not on good terms right now make up sex is the best thing. Xoxo

August looked over at Alijah standing at her locker. She a folded paper in her hand. She took a ripped it in half making his heart drop.

"Damn fam you good?" Vonte asked him.

August shook his head. "Nah man I'm not." He said watching Alijah close her locker and walk away.

Ming sat in her mother and father's office typing a essay she had to do since their Wi-Fi was down at the house.

"Dad I need your help!" Ming yelled because she couldn't figure out what to write next.

"Shouldn't you be with Yasir? It's Valentine's Day Ming?" Her mother said getting some papers off the printer.

"I am later on he's busy with school right now." She said. "Dad!" She yelled again.

"I coming Ming shit go home!" He said making her and her mother laugh.

"Nope I'm staying here with y'all." Ming said laughing.

"Oh I forgot to tell you too I think Yasir had this sent to you." Her mother said giving her a box of roses.

Ming looked at the roses that had different shades of pink. They were beautiful. It also had card attached to it. Ming picked up the card opening it and reading it.

Wassup Bighead?

-K

Ming looked at the words in shock and the letter signed at the bottom. "Oh my god I know he didn't."

"What's wrong honey?"

"Nothing mommy they're just beautiful." Ming said before slipping the card in her back pocket of her jeans. Keith was way out of line for that.

"Momma I'll be back I left something at home so I'll be back." Ming said grabbing her keys and leaving the office.

Pulling up to Keith's apartment complex. Ming turned her car off and got out the car going up the stairs.

"Who is it?" Keith said from the other side of the door.

"Ming." She said.

Keith quickly opened the door smiling. "You miss me?"

"No I don't." Ming said walking in the apartment.

Keith closed the door and locked it. "Where's your boyfriend? Mr.British Nigga." Keith said trying to copy a british accent.

"Where your girlfriend?" Ming asked.

"We on a break right now." He said. "What brought you here anyway?"

Ming took the roses he gave her out of the bag and the card out of her back pocket. "Hey bighead." She said throwing the roses and card at him. "Why are you trying this with me? Right now? Yasir loves me for me and he's showing me something you didn't. He's making me feel like somebody. He's even paying for my dancing classes. So leave me the fuck alone Keith. You and I are done."

Keith wrapped his arms around her. "Really baby you done with me? You can't be done with me."

Ming smelled the alcohol on his breath. "You're drunk."

"No I'm not. Baaabbbyyyy just come on to the bedroom. I miss you Ming." Keith said.

"No get off of me." Ming said. "Keith move let me leave."

Keith pushed her down on the couch climbing on top of her. "I can't let you leave me Ming. Not now. You looking so sexy right now."

Ming squirmed. This isn't the Keith she knew. He was drunk as hell. Keith kissed her making her wipe her mouth off.

"Keith get off me!" Ming yelled.

Keith took her arms and pinned them above her head. "You shouldn't have came baby you giving me mixed signals."

"Stop you're hurting me!" Ming cried she kneed him in his stomach making him crouch and fall off the sofa.

Ming quickly got up and unlocked the doors before being snatched back by Keith. Ming bit him making him scream letting her go. She got up running out the door.

"Crazy ass bitch!" Keith yelled. "I'll get you!"

When Ming finally got in her car she hurriedly started it and backed out of the parking lot. All she could do was cry she was literally close to getting raped by somebody she thought would never do that.

"You know you need to stop." Di'anna said sitting with her baby cousin on the steps watching her try to play hopscotch on the sidewalk.

Everybody else was boo'd up with their boos and Di'anna was babysitting her cousin which really wasn't her cousin just a little girl she knew even since the girl was baby.

"Didi I got to pee." She said.

"Okay Mari come on." Di'anna said grabbing her hand and going up the stairs. Di'anna was twisted the doorknob so she could go in but it was locked. "Fuck!" She cursed because she forgot her dad had the car and her house key was on her car keys.

"I really got to peeeee!" Mari said.

"Okay Mari hold on." Di'anna said.

"She can come use it in my place."

Di'anna turned around to see Cairo walking up the stairs with American Delil bags.

"Please Didi I can't hold it." Mari whined.

"Okay." Di'anna said.

Cairo unlocked his apartment door and Di'anna and Mari walked in. "Down the hall to the left." Cairo said.

Mari rushed to the bathroom. Di'anna stood in the hall waiting for her.

"How you doing today?" Cairo asked her.

"I'm good what about you?" Di'anna said.

"Nothing was supposed to go out with one of my friends but he's with his girl. I hate Valentine's Day especially when you don't jave anybody." He said.

"Yeah I feel you on that one." Di'anna said.

"Okay I'm all done." Mari said.

"Well I'll see you later." Di'anna said grabbing Mari's hand about to leave.

"Wait. Do you wanna stay? Ion wanna be bored all night. Mari can watch cartoons and you and I can talk or watch them with her."

"I gotta feed her and I need to eat too." She said.

Cairo chuckled. "I got food babygirl." He said.

Di'anna stood there looking at him for a minute.

"Okay we'll stay." Di'anna said.

"Alright." Cairo said smiling.

"Man it never gets cold in California does it?" Bryson said.

"No it doesn't and if it does hell must've frozen over." Alijah said unlocking the door to the house.

They both just came from eating out at some new wing place down the street.

"I think I need to go back to New York I miss the cold." Bryson said making Alijah laugh as they walked in the living room.

Alijah sat down on the sofa as Bryson sat down beside her.

"I'm sorry your Valentine's didn't go as planned." Bryson said.

"Yeah it's cool." Alijah said when she knew deep down inside she wanted to be somwhere laying up with August saying she loved him fifty plus times.

"How you feel? Have you talked to him?" He asked.

"No not at all. He haven't called me either." Alijah said.

"Have you thought about what I said yesterday?" Bryson asked her.

"Not really." Alijah said. "I have a boyfriend."

"And I'm asking to be boyfriend number two. It's a simple yes or no question. I can treat you way better than he can Alijah." Bryson said.

Alijah sat there thinking about what he was saying. August has been acting different.

"By boyfriend number two does that mean we have sex too?" Alijah asked.

"Yes if you want to." Bryson said.

"I do." She quickly said.

Bryson licked his lips grabbing Alijah pulling her closer to him. He slowly started kissing her neck.

"Lay back baby." He said.

Alijah laid back on couch and Bryson hovered over her taking off his shirt. Alijah rubbed up and down his chiseled abs. Bryson leaned in so he could kiss her.

"Mmm. Wait a minute." Alijah said.

"Yeah wassup?" Bryson said.

"You got a condom?" She asked.

"Yea I do."

"Okay keep going." Alijah said making Bryson laugh.

Bryson slowly pulled Alijah's pants down along with her underwear. He touched her pearl making her squirm. Alijah bit her bottom lip moaning.

"Stop playing if you gon' eat it do it." Alijah said.

"No problem baby." Bryson said going down on her.

"Oh fuck shit keep going Bry-" Alijah moaned.

Bryson was eating her out like it was his last time.

I'm pretty sure you know what went down after that.

Also excuse any mistakes.
