Part 5
"Nice to meet you...again." Omari said shaking my hand. He tossed me a sexy smile and threw out a hundred dollar bill. "Winner takes home four hundred dollars." Jarell said sitting the money on a nearby bench. "De'mario, you with me." I demanded pulling him towards me. "Oh no, D on my team." Jarell argued pulling him over towards him.
"Nicca if he on yo team yall bound to lose." I said, once more pulling him over to me. "Look lil girl, I said he on my team..deal with it." I dropped the ball stepping in his face. "Don't mess around and get punked infront of yo cousin."
"Aight aight that's enough..how about you and Rell be on teams and me and O be on teams" De'mario suggested. Jarell and I looked at each other and laughed. "That's too easy..lets make this difficult, you and Nesa on teams and D and I will be on teams." Jarell said glancing at Omari and smiling. "Yea that'll work." Omari replied stepping up behind me. I turned my attention towards him and smiled. Damn he is fine. "Aight let's do this." Jarell flipped a coin causing it to be their ball first. He attempted to shoot missing the rim by a couple of inches. "You should get that checked out." I said dodging past him and passing the ball to Omari. He faked a shot and passed it back to me. I looked over to De'mario to see him blocking Omari as I made a three pointer. "Oh yes!" I said my hands still in the position of shooting. The game ended thirty minutes later the score tied to twenty-three. "Over time!" Jarell called still hype. "Mayne that's it, call it for today." I said sitting down on the floor. "Hell naw, you know what I can do with four hundred dollars?" he asked pointing over towards the bench. "Jarell we tired mayne let's just split it," De'mario complained. He was now laying across the gym floor as if about to go to sleep. I looked across from me at Omari who was all down my shirt. I smiled and laid down so he could get a better view. He obviously knew what I had done and laughed outloud. "What the fuck is funny?" Jarell asked getting aggravated. Omari looked up at him and gave him curious look. "For real J let's just call it for today." Jarell stomped over towards the bench a snatched the money up. Giving us a hundred each. "Yall gone give me a chance to win my money back!" I got up about to head for the double doors when Omari ran up behind me. "That was a good game," he started opening one of the doors. "Thanx, not so bad yourself." I replied not making eye contact with him. "Eh..how bout I use this money to take you out to dinner?" he asked. I turned around so that I was facing him. "You would do that?"
"Yea, for a beautiful girl like you." I rolled my eyes at the game he was spitting. I had to admit I was falling for it. My attention quickly went from his eyes to his lips, " I live across the street from De'mario's old crib, pick me up at eight." I said softly, almost whispering. I lifted my leg up slowly so that my knee rubbed gently up against him, "Maybe we can get to know each other a little better." He looked down seeing that I was giving him an open invitation to what he really wanted and smiled. "Maybe," he replied as I walked off making sure that he would enjoyed what he would soon have later. I exited the door smiling to myself not knowing what I was getting myself into.

Jarell POV
I stood there watching everything that had went on between the two as I exited the double doors. "Don't mess that up," I said catching Omari off guard. "What you talking about?" he asked not knowing that I saw what went down. "Vanesa, she a great girl, don't go and treat her like you treat all them other hoes you be fucking wit." I paused to read his face expression. "It's more to her than just pussy." Omari laughed at what I'd said. "If she was to give it up, that's her choice, it aint like I'm gone force her, besides I was feeling her anyway." I looked him up and down and began to head for the door, "I could see that clearly."

Vanesa POV
I stepped out the shower as steam rose from off my moist body. I had laid my dress out for tonight. The red silk knee length dress rested on my bed as I put my makeup on. The phone rang causing me to stop what I was doing. "Hello?"
"Hey what's up?" Druex asked on the other end. "Nothing trying to get ready for tonight," I replied going back to my makeup. "What's going tonight?" he asked curiously. I could hear alot of commotion in the background, so I assumed Jarell and De'mario were over. "I'm going out to eat." I responded lining my lips with the brown lip liner. I coated a light coat of lip gloss on and slid my lips across one another causing the lip liner to smear perfectly. "I wanna go!" he whined. I laughed at how childish he sounded. "No sweetie, mommy's going out on a date." I said in a motherly way. I laughed at what I said and cut the conversation short. "Let me call you back later all right?"
"Yea, sure." he said his voice lowering. I hung up the phone and slipped into my dress. The dress fit every curve like a glove. I checked out the back making sure everything was straight. "You're good to go." I said looking in the mirror once more before I sat down to put on my shoes. The red Versaci stiletto's excinuated the dress perfectly. I pulled my hair into a side bun and pinned a red flower to it. The door bell rung as I exited my bedroom hoping he would like the dress I chose. I smoothed my dress down and opened the door with a smile that soon faded. "Druex?" I said seeing him through the glass frame. "What are you doing here?" I asked pulling him in by his arm. "I came to uh...t-to borrow some uh..." he looked around as if looking for something. "Sugar, that's what I need, some sugar." he said laughing. I looked at him, a curious look on my face. "It's in the cabinet above the stove." I said wondering about him. "Hurry up!" I called back to him. He escaped to the kitchen and came back with the bag. "Thanx, you know I can't drink kool-aid without my sugar-"
"Yea yea, now get out, go!" I said pushing him out the door. He looked back and smiled. "By the way you look beautiful." I smiled and thanked him, trying to get rid of him before Omari showed up.
I closed the door and sighed. "I wonder about that boy sometimes." A few minutes later the door bell rung once more. I opened the door praying it wasn't Druex. Omari stood before me in a black dress shirt with some black slacks. He pulled off his glasses that were resting on his face and handed me a bouquet of red roses. "You look great." He complimented, leaning in to give me a kiss on the cheek. I accepted and went to put the flowers in a vase of water. I returned from the kitchen to have him patiently waiting for me. "You ready?" he asked. "Yea." I responded taking the lead.

Omari POV
This girl gone make me hurt her, I thought to myself as I got a view from behind. I opened the door so that she could get in and closed it, moving quickly to my side of the car. "You from here?" I asked starting a conversation. "Yea, I just moved back here a couple of months ago..I used to live in that house when I was younger."
"Really..I don't remember going to school with you?" I said stopping at a red light. I glanced over at her studying her very closely. She gots to be good in bed, I thought as she went on about something, I was too caught up in my fantasies to even hear. I just nodded my head as if I was listening, she falling for it too. I chuckled to myself hoping she hadn't noticed, which she didn't. "What about you?" she asked. Damn, think quick, I told myself.
"Well, I think you're very beautiful." I said smiling. She looked at me like 'what the fuck are you talking about?' "I said, what do you do?" she repeated. I looked over at her and laughed. "I'm so sorry, I'm just so captured by your beauty." I responded pretending to be embarrassed. She threw her head back laughing and smiled behind curiosity. "I'm a producer, I'm working on my album right now."
"Really, what do you do?" she asked. She seemed more impressed once I told her I sing. We finally reached Venuila's, a French restaurant, when I noticed her shape. She had curves in all the right places, not to mention her legs. Thick, golden brown and nicely oiled. Her toes weren't bad at all. I might have to keep her, I said to myself escorting her to the entrance. We talked over dinner about all kinds of things...well, she talked, I just tried to come up with a plan to get her in bed. "So, you do this often?" she asked taking a sip of her wine. "What, treating women to dinner?" She nodded sitting back and crossing her legs. "Only to the one's I like" I said giving her a teasing smile. She smiled and leaned up against the table, a couple of inches from me. "What do you say we get better aquatinted?" I licked my lips and smiled. Finally, I thought as I nodded. Next thing you know I was hitting that harder than a baseball at the Diamond.

Part 6
Vanesa POV
I woke up completely wrapped in my sheets from the night before. The smell of eggs and sausages pulled me out of bed as I headed down stairs to find Omari in the kitchen whipping up some food. "Good morning," he said greeting me with a kiss. "I didn't know you cook," I said wrapping my hands around his waist. I lowered them until they reached their goal. "Hmm..what do we have here?" He laughed and didn't bother to stop me. "I thought, yall already met?" he asked turning to me. "Well I want to make sure we know each very well." I said dragging out the last two words. He turned the stove off and placed me on the table opening my robe. He smiled at his view and kissed me, starting from my lips and heading down further. I jumped as he began to work his tongue around the walls and back up, slowly licking my clit. I stopped him before he went further. "I hope you don't expect me to do the same?" I asked. I smiled, pleased with his answer as he continued to give me unbelievable pleasure. He then stood up and pulled me closer to him, taking out what my body had been asking for the entire time. He pushed himself inside of me causing me to moan softly as he pulled and pushed in and out of my core. I laid back on the table cuffing his hands around my breast, my legs wrapped tightly around his waist. He pushed in deeper subjugating my entire body with his. He then took both of my legs and rested them on his broad shoulders as he proceeded to reach his destination. I cried out biting my bottom lip at what I was feeling as he began to circle in and out with his movements. After a few strokes he started in deeper as my moans grew louder. He then pulled out massaging my clit with the head slipping it up and down the opening. I pushed him inside of me focused on his movements from before. He pulled out again as I looked up at him erratically. I immediately knew what he wanted as he took his seat at the table. I slowly lowered myself down on to him bouncing up and rocking back, my hands tightly held on to the back of his neck. I moaned giving him a tantalizing stare as I began to rock faster, escalating unbelievable pleasure for the both of us. My grip tightened on the edge of the table as our bodies trembled together with a satisfied response.

"I'll call you later on tonight?" Omari said starting up the car. I nodded yes and kissed him running my fingers through his cornrows. He gave me one last kiss before he backed out of the driveway. I waited till he was out of sight and headed back in the house. Now I know this is just a physical attraction between Omari and I, I thought running upstairs to get showered. I mean I let him hit on the first night, I feel like such a hoe. Well, at least I can say it was worth it, shit that nicca got the magic stick. I turned on the water deciding to take a bubble bath instead. But even though it starts off as a physical thing, it could change..I mean how lucky can you get? A fine ass nigga, with a job, driving a BMW, and a big ass dick, who cooks! That's every girls fantasy. I need to take full advantage of this, cuz I doubt It gets better than this. I slipped in the tub, the hot water immediately spreading throughout my body. He also know's what he's doing too, I thought recouping back to my thoughts before. I mean he aint one of those nicca's that talk the talk but can't walk the walk. I smiled to myself. And this cat goes down south! And might I say he does it well...very well, I aint even got to suck his dick! Which I wouldn't do if he asked me. My thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing. "Damn!" I said reaching for my towel. By time I got to the phone the answering machine had come on. "Eh, I'm obviously not here so leave your name number and a brief message and I'll be sure to get back at you, holla at yo gurl"
"Nesa this Druex just calling to see what you had planned today, if you not doing anything um call me so I won't have to be bored hit me up when you feel!" I laughed to myself getting back in the bath tub.

Dreux POV
I sat there on the couch about to fall asleep when the door bell rang. Surprised to see it was Vanesa, I didn't know whether to let her in or not. "What you doing?" she asked inviting herself in. "Nothing watching some t.v." I responded rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand. She sat down taking my seat and changed the channel. I looked at her like lost her mind and snatched the remote from her. "Damn, somebody grumpy this morning!" she said getting up about to head for the door. "Eh, my bad..you just woke me up that's all." I gave her a smile letting her know to come back. "So how was your date?" I asked not really wanting to hear about it, just making conversation. "It was good." she replied a smile on her face. I looked over to her, a smirk on my face. "You let him blaze?"
She laughed and sighed clearly letting me know she did. "Ooh you nasty!" I teased pushing her. "We had too much to drink and things just got carried away..but I know it won't a one night stand cause I will be seeing him again." she said crossing her legs. She was wearing a pair of white jeans with slits through them and a black wifebeater tied in the back. I viewed how the jeans fit her so nicely as she walked over to the window. My eyes followed her every move as she looked out the window being nosy like always. I felt a strong connection between her and I but I wasn't sure how to confront her with it. It was obviously too late now, she seeing this guy who's probably just using her. I stopped in my thoughts knowing I would get mad. "You wanna go to the mall?" she asked walking back over to the couch. "It's this cute jean skirt I wanna buy, I think it cost about forty something." I looked up at her as she went on about how it looked, demonstrating the length and style. She is so beautiful, I thought to myself as her eyes glowed with excitement while she danced around in the invisible skirt. She looked down at me waiting for a response. "Yea, I guess I aint got nothing else to do." I said getting up from the couch and went to take a quick shower. I was glad my jealousy wasn't getting in the way of her happiness, but little did I know what the future held.

Vanesa POV
A few minutes later he came out his room in a tan velour set, with some tan and white flavs to match. "We taking my car or yours?" he asked grabbing his house keys from off the table. "I don't feel like driving." I replied following him downstairs. About hour later we were walking through the noisy mall. I went into a store to admire a pair of jeans that were in the window. "Can I help you?" a lightskin girl asked from behind me. She looked to be in her mid twenties and very short might I add. "You got these in a size seven?" She nodded taking the jeans off the manican and disappeared in the back. She returned with the jeans and asked if I needed anymore assistance. "No thanx, Dreux hold my purse while I try these on." I said handing him my pocket book and stepping into the dressing room. He grabbed it and took a seat by the last dressing room door. I came out shortly with the blue jeans which hung low on my waist line. "What you think?" Druex motioned for me to turn around. "Nope." he answered shaking his head. "What you mean no?" I asked checking myself out in the mirror across from me. "I don't like how they show off your booty." he said his face still expressionless. "Boy you aint my daddy, and I'm gone buy them just because you said not to." I responded heading back in the dressing room. I came out with my jeans on and headed for the cash register. "That'll be thirty-five ninety-five." The lady behind the counter said with a sigh. I gave her a fifty, waiting patiently for my change. "Thank you" I said giving her a warm smile. We headed out the store and walked towards the food court. "So back to this guy you were out with last night..." Druex said bringing the subject up again. I looked at him surprised at how nosy he was being at the time. "What you wanna know?" I asked stepping up in the line. "Who is he, do he got a name?"
I sighed and smiled shyly. "Omari." I replied looking out the corner of my eye at him. He seemed shocked for a moment. "Look Nesa I think-"
"Hello, how may I help you?" The woman behind the counter asked interrupting his comment. I gave my order and looked back at Druex, waiting for him to continue. "Nevermind" He mumbled walking away. I shrugged my shoulders and turned back towards the cash register.

The ride home was quiet and awkward. I'd ask him a question and he'd give me a terse response, it got a little irritating after while so I just stopped trying to make conversation. I hope the fact that I'm seeing someone else doesn't change things, it shouldn't though. I told him I wanted to try things out with him, but he said he wasn't ready. He pulled into the driveway and stopped the car not looking at me. "Druex whatever is on your chest you need to get it off." I said seeing that something was bothering him. He looked out the window instead of answering me. "Dreux what is wrong-"
"You Nesa, that's what's wrong." he blurted out turning to me. I looked at him confused by what he'd just said. "What I got do with this?"
"You just go off and get a boyfriend seeing that I'm right there infront of your face!"
"What are you getting at, Dreux?" I asked calmly trying not to start an argument. Apparently he has had this built inside and is now letting it all out. "I'm saying, it only took you half a day to find a rebound."
"Dreux If this is about us, I don't know why you trippin, I gave you the opportunity to be with me but you chose not to."
"And I'm still thinking, just because I said I wasn't ready didn't mean I said you could go and see somebody else not to mention fucking him." I cringed back and felt the anger rise as his words continually repeated in my head. "Hold the fuck up, you do not own me Druex! I am a grown ass woman and I see whoever I want whenever I want, If I wanted someone to make my decisions I would have stayed my black ass over there with my aunt!" I snapped back. I got out the car slamming the door hard enough to shake the car. I turned around before heading up the walkway. "You know I thought you were so different but all you did was proved to me that you're just like all them other nigga's!" I stormed up the walkway slamming the front door behind me. I knew just then that Dreux and I being friends had just ended.

Druex POV
"Why the fuck you aint tell me she was seeing Omari?" I yelled over the phone at Jarell. I had just gotten home and was still angry from the argument Vanesa and I just had "Cause I didn't think you'd care." he responded back. "You didn't think I cared? Mayne she fucking with Omari, c'mon now think J!" There was a silent pause on the other end until he finally spoke up. "Why should it matter to you anyway, you the one who let her go, you could have her but you want to be a lil pussy about it!" I could feel my face growing hot and instead of saying bye I slammed the phone down on the receiver. I went into my room too caught up in my thoughts to notice the phone ringing. How she start talking to this cat, he aint gone treat her like she should be treated. Only someone who knows her would know how to treat her, and he don't know her. Mayne she knew I would get mad, why would she even tell me it was that nigga she was talking to? I laid there blaming Vanesa knowing it was all my fault. Jarell was right, I could have had her but I let her go. I think I did what was best, I mean I didn't want to hurt her in the end. But I also didn't tell her to go find and fuck someone else, not to mention a guy that's gone play her. Omari aint the one for her, all he doing is using her and she don't need to be hurt. She need someone who's gone take care of her and treat her like she should be treated. I sat there saying the right things but doing all the wrong things. I should've kept my mouth closed, and pretended like everything was cool, me and my big mouth got her mad at me now. She is right though I don't own her and I shouldn't be making her decisions, but I care for her so much and I just don't want her making decisions that she'll soon end up regreting in the end. My thoughts were once again interrupted by the phone ringing. "Yea?" I answered not really in the mood to talk. "Don't ever in yo life hang up on me again I swear to god Dreux!" Jarell yelled to the phone in the background. "What's up with you?" De'mario asked over Jarell's yelling. "Nothin." I mumbled. "Something is wrong, you hanging up on Jarell and shit..." He paused to let me talk but I still refused. "Eh, if this about Vanesa don't let it get to you, yall suppose to be friends anyway-"
"Mayne don't come at me with that, friends or not, Jarell still should have told me she was talking to Omari." I cried over the phone. Jarell then got on. "Hell naw, yo problem is you wanna blame everybody else but yourself, aint nobody tell you to just be her friend you could be over there beating that ass right now but naw you want to make things complicated and go off blaming her for the cause of yall not being together."
"How you know I blamed her? " I asked surprised at what he'd said. "Vanesa just called me on my cell crying, she said you went off at the mouth about her going with Omari, she at the point now where she don't even want to hear from you."
"What? I aint the one fucking him!"
"See there you go letting yo pride get in the way, you need to make this right before you lose her for good." Jarell's words echoed through my head as the thought of losing her made me think about going over there. "Man forget that, Vanesa aint the only one hurt in this, I'm more hurt than she is I'm sitting here don't know what the fuck I want from her, got you down my throat and I'm alone...you think that shit don't hurt?" "There you go thinking bout yourself again look at it from Vanesa's point-"
"Mayne forget it!" I said hanging up the phone once more. At the time I didn't need nobody telling me what to do.


Part 7
Vanesa POV
(1 month later)
Four weeks has past and Omari and I are still together. Things are going well I guess, I mean we still together. Let me stop, who am I fooling I don't know what's going on with us. I mean everything in the bedroom is straight but I keep getting the feeling that he's sleeping around. We don't really communicate like a couple, and when we do talk to one another it's for a few minutes. I've been meaning to tell him something but everytime I bring up the subject he gotta run or something else comes up. Druex and I haven't talked since that day we got into it and that was a month from now. I've been meaning to run into him but he's never around. It's odd how I live across the street from the boy can never catch up with him. I know I said I didn't want to talk to him but he my best-friend and I miss him...alot. I can't talk to Jarell and De'mario about things Druex and I talk about, he relates to me more, it's like we were meant to be together. I've called him several times but either he's not there or he won't pick up. I wonder if he feels the same way I'm feeling now. I feel bad about what happened between us and I want to change things but I don't think he's willing. I realized I loved Dreux and he's the one I wanted to be with but I can't leave Omari now, it's too late. And what if he isn't cheating, what if I'm just tripping, then I'll feel like a fool cause I let another one go. All these thoughts ran through my head as Omari sat down inbetween my legs while I finished up the last braid. He got up to examine his hair and smiled walking back over towards me. "Thank you very much." he said kissing me on my neck. I sat there bored just letting him kiss me. He pulled back seeing that I wasn't amused. "What's the deal?" I shook my head and got up from the couch walking towards the stair case. "Vanesa?" He called to me. I knew he really wanted to know because he called me by my full name. "I just don't understand why is it always the same routine kissing fucking kissing fucking? We have never sat down and had a decent conversation!" I said my arms folded across my chest. He cringed back and walked over to me. "What you mean?" I sat down on the step and ran my fingers through my hair. I didn't want to bring this up but I had to, it's been eating me up inside. "Do you even care about me?" He sighed giving me a blank stare. I could tell he was caught off guard with my question. "Omari, these past four weeks I began to develop feelings for you, I trusted you, I've even lost one of my good friends just to be with you, and all you can do is use me as one of yo little hoes?" He didn't respond, instead he looked down at his feet not being able to make eye contact with me. Too ashamed of what I'd gotten myself into, I got up and ran up the stairs slamming my bedroom door behind me. I cried, my face buried in my pillow. I felt so used, how could I not see that before. I was actually beginning to feel something between us, and the whole time he was just using me for sex. I've been told time after time that he wasn't any good but I wanted to follow my heart. I realized it's my fault I'm in the mess I'm in. I should have known from the first day that that was what he was all about, it never occurred to me that I'd end up hurt in the end. He entered in a couple of minutes later and sat down beside me. "It was like that from the beginning, and I tried but I couldn't come clean, I mean I figured Jarell and them would have told you about me." he stopped to look at me and then continued. "The only reason why I stayed in this long was because of the sex and I found out that-"
"You knew?" I asked surprised that he knew and didn't confront me about it. He nodded and started again. "My plan was to take-"
"Omari why didn't you say something to me? I've been sitting around here stressed out and you knew all along?" I began to cry again and got up from the bed walking over towards the window. I could see the dark gray clouds forming in the sky as rain lightly dropped to the ground. "I didn't want to hurt you Vanesa, you a great girl and I took complete advantage of you, and till this day I regret it, thats why I decided to let-" I looked up at him surprised at what was about to escape from his lips. "No, No
Omari don't do this to me, please don't do this " I begged walking over to him, I put my finger to his lips so that he wouldn't speak. In response he leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips, "Goodbye Vanesa" I held my stomach and cried, still in denial that he was leaving me here, by myself, all alone, with his child.
