“ I feel you.” Tyson said leaning down to kiss her once more.”We'll talk tomorrow. Get some sleep.”

“Same to you,night Tyson.” Jazzlyn said walking out the door.

Eyes Wide Open

Trevonne

Trevonne woke up feeling like crap .I hardly remember much beyond dealing with Darien's ass. Last nights exchange with Darien had her mind going in a million directions. How could he have been messing with other women besides me the last three months ? When would he have the time? I know he's not working right now but I try to have him come here every night. Jazzlyn and I haven't even hung together very much lately because Darien comes here some nights she thought. He's even stayed the night with me saying how good my bed felt, and how at home he feels. Trevonne thought to herself.

I know I can't possibly be wrong about the way I know Darien feels about me. With everything that happened with Jazzlyn he must have been angry and just feeling hurt.

People do say things they don't mean when they're angry. I know for a fact Jazzlyn hasn't spoken to him but a few time since they broke up and never let him in. I think he just needed closure. I'l text him later and see if he wants to come over. I could even cook him dinner. I've never done that before. That's what I'll do Trevonne thought.

Now let me call Jazzlyn real quick and see if she's feeling better. She seemed fine when we left my house I wonder what made her sick ?

Darien

Darien opened his eyes and slowly sat up in the bed. Damn I drank too much last night he thought as he held his head in his hands. This shit with Jazzlyn has me fucked up he thought. After being with Jazzlyn the last four years they'd had disagreements of course throughout the years and even broke up for two months once.

That's why I didn't real y trip on how she was taking her time getting back at me. I aint even gonna lie I never minded the breaks because I could do what the fuck I wanted to do without “really” cheating on her then. But this shit last night? Aint never happened between me and Jazz before. Let alone in public. As wrong as I
know
I've been at times, at the end of the day Jazz aint never came at me with nothing but love. Always.

Darien stood up and started pacing in his room. Another thing he thought to himself...who the fuck is this white boy staring me down and looking like he ready to dick down my woman? I'l rock that white boys ass to sleep. That's some black pussy he'll never get up in ! Darien thought to himself. A goddamn neighbor? I got to get my shit together and make things right with Jazz. I also need to make sure this silly ass bitch Trevonne keep her mutha fuckin mouth shut . This bitch talking about she's gonna tell Jazzlyn everything ? I'l wring that weave wearing ho's neck before I ever let that happen. That would mess up any possibility of me and Jazz getting back together.

Jazzlyn

Damn! Jazzlyn thought to herself as she went about making herself some breakfast in the kitchen. My crappy night certainly turned itself around in a very good way! Jazzlyn could still feel Tyson’s lips on her mouth. I don't know how this whole black and white thing will go down. I mean I've never even thought about a guy that wasn't African-American but I do know this. When I'm in Tyson James presence the fact he isn't black has never entered my mind. Not once. When he kissed me and my legs and other parts just melted …that was simply Jazzlyn wanting Tyson. A woman wanting a man. I didn't have any thought of what color he was running though my head! So anyone who has a problem with it, that will just have to be their problem because it damn sure isn't mine.

I'm completely over Darien's ass. Deep down he was always worthless, what I found out last night just confirmed it beyond what I already knew. Trevonne, that's another damn story. After all these years of friendship to do me like she did? I know the Lord says forgive your enemies, but I'm sorry. I can't do it. A part of me loves her still I wont lie. But that bitch is going to pay for what she did. I may not even let her know for awhile that I know what's been going on but payback is coming.

I wonder if Tyson is awake and wants to come over for breakfast?

Tyson

Tyson felt the sweat dripping from his body as he ran on the treadmill. Damn he thought to himself I got about three hours of sleep but I have too much on my mind this morning. She's the one. I can feel it. I know I've talked much shit when I hear about people getting all deep too fast but I have a strange feeling she's it for me. Laughing to himself he thought my sisters and mom are gonna need to met her. Tyson thought his speed increasing on the treadmill. I need to make this official though and ask her out for real . Out on a real date, no friends around just us. I need to make sure this Darien guy is totally out the picture. Dude look crazy as hell if you ask me, homeboy was looking at me like he was ready to do some shit last night ?I'm not worried about it though. Tyson stepped off the treadmill , grabbed his bag and headed to his car. Jazzlyn was up pretty late. I wonder if she's awake Tyson thought.

The

Love Chronicles

Jazzlyn walked through the isles of the grocery store picking up a few things when her cel phone rang. Jazzlyn answered “ Hello ?”

“ Girl where have you been?” Trevonne asked “I want to see you. Every since you hooked up with that fine ass neighbor of yours I've barely seen you. Come over tonight!

Sherica is coming. We're going to cook dinner, have some drinks and stuff. You know a girls night.” Trevonne said excitedly.

“ OK I'll come. What time and what do you want me to bring?” Jazzlyn asked “ Girl bring some of that bomb ass macaroni and cheese you make!” Trevonne said “ I'm so glad you're coming Jazzlyn. I miss you!” “ I know me too” I said trying my best to control my growing anger at al her fake sincerity. “ But you know how it is when you meet someone new. Tyson and I have been spending a lot of time together getting to know each other and everything. You know how it is.” Jazzlyn said sweetly. “ I know,I know! I'll give you a pass for a hot minute but when you come over tonight I want the scoop on his ass!”Trevonne said. “ OK I got you. See you tonight.” Jazzlyn said and hung up.

Yea I got you. You fake ass bitch! Jazzlyn thought. Since finding out a month ago how Trevonne had betrayed her Jazzlyn had made the decision not to confront her about it......just yet. Tyson didn't think it was a good decision to keep speaking to her and not approach and handle the situation but we agreed to disagree about the topic. Besides it's not like I've spent much time with anyone but him for the last month anyways. Darien is still calling me periodically claiming he's getting his shit together as if I give a damn.

Darien could turn his life around and become the second African-American president and I still would never take his ass back! I can't believe how good Tyson is. I know we're still at the getting to know each other phase but everything is different with him. We talk about real things. Life,family work. Topics that seem basic but but damn it's nice to ask how was your day at work, not when are you going to go
back
to work! Jazzlyn thought to herself going through the isles.

Just as she was turning the corner someone caught her eye . Is that Tyson ? Jazzlyn said to herself stepping around to get a better look. Aint this some shit right here!

Jazzlyn thought watching Tyson walk down the isle with another woman. A really attractive black woman with a figure to die for and a short cropped cut. They were walking down the isle laughing and joking. Aint this some shit Jazzlyn thought to herself.

These assholes are al the same. Jazzlyn thought as she dropped her basket and walked out of the store.

Darien

“Now dammit Darien your time is up! We had an agreement that you were going to be here two months when you moved back in here. We're into the fourth month . The gig is up!” Darien's mother Sheila said. “ I know mom things just seem to be taking a little longer with my job search than I thought they would. These jobs out here aint trying to pay a brotha nothing!” Darien said trying his best to look sincere. He knew damn well his mom didn't play! Darien knew his mom as tough as she talked,had a soft spot for both of her boys. So whenever he could, he used his mamas boy act to the fullest!

Darien started running other excuses through his head he could tell her to extend his stay. Shit I know I'm complaining about the twin bed but hell, something is better than nothing. I damn sure need somewhere steady to stay and aint no way in hel imma go stay with Trevonne. If I go lay up over there Jazzlyn will never take me back.

“ OK son. Let me keep it real with you... like you young folks say. Now you know me an my old man Mr.Johnny been together some years now, since you and your brother Trenton were teenagers. You know I didn't go for having no strange men up around you boys so I kept my personal life separate from you boys. Now that both of you are grown and
supposed
to be out of the house. It's mamas turn! Mr. Johnny and I are making it official, we're getting married son! So I'm breaking the lease on this place and moving into his house . What I will
not
being moving into my new home with me and my new husband is a grown ass son who should be out on his damn own anyways!So you have two weeks to make arrangements.”

My damn face wanted to fall . Not because I didn't like Mr. Johnny. I did. He's always been good to al of us throughout the years. Damn...what the fuck imma do now ? Hel where am I supposed to lay my goddamn head at ? I did mange to jump up and give her a hug. Plastered a smile on my face. Sounded excited for her and al . My mom did deserve some happiness. Our dad wasn't shit. He left my mom a year after I was born to raise two kids al on her own. My mom is a trooper though...like a lot of black women, and made it work. So she deserves her blessings. The damn blessings are coming at a bad time for
me
, but I couldn't knock moms hustle. I need to really make some moves now Darien thought to himself.

Trevonne

I think everything looks perfect Trevonne thought to herself walking around her apartment. Trevonne spent al afternoon straightening up so that everything looked great for her girls only get together. It's been a damn month since Jazzlyn and I have spent any time together she thought. I guess once you go white it's al right! Trevonne thought to herself laughing. I'm not going to trip on that at all. Jazzlyn spending so much time with this neighbor Tyson works two ways, Trevonne thought. It gives Jazzlyn all the more time to completely get over Darien and into someone new. Which frees
me
up to spend more time with Darien when he does decide to come over Trevonne thought with a frown. Every since their argument at Club Zooms she would have thought he would have come by more. Especial y since Jazzlyn let him know beyond a shadow of a doubt they wouldn't be reconciling. Since he wasn't waiting on Jazzlyn to run back, I thought for sure he'd come around more regardless of the mean things he'd said to me that night. I'm tired of trying to babysit his dick to make sure he's not seeing other women like he said he was. During the past month al Darien has done was come by more to get his dick sucked than to hang out with me. Hel Trevonne thought, he practically made
me
beg him to do it. We've only real y had sex about three times. That has
got
to change.

We’re going to work this out somehow. I honestly don't know why I want him so much.

I know I'm a fool for even wanting his ass but he does have some good qualities. We have fun when he's here, good looking and the sex is off the chain! Aint
no
man dicked me down that good...ever. Trevonne thought .Growing warm between her thighs just thinking about having sex with Darien. Darien is the longest relationship I've ever had Trevonne thought and I don't want it to end anytime soon. All relationships go through ups and downs. We're just having ours now. Trevonne thought as she put the finishing touches on her apartment. Tonight’s going to be fun she thought.

Tyson

Tyson his mother and two sisters al sat in the family room at his mothers house enjoying each others company. Tyson’s mother Renee looked with pride at her three children “ It's been far too long since we've al gotten together like this. I sure hope we can get back on track with our family time. I miss my babies al being together.” Renee said.

“ I know mama. I'll admit I've been caught up with this new job. Which is really going good. It was a nice move for me to make and I can see myself being able to do some really good things there. I had a meeting with the partners last week and they told me how impressed the clients have been with the accounts I've taken over.

So I think I may be here awhile especially if new opportunities for advancement come up.”

“Also” Tyson said pausing for effect “ I met this woman.

“ “WHAT!” Tyson's mother and sisters said in unison.” Who is she ? Tel us all about her !” They asked al chiming in at once.

“ DAANG!” Tyson said. “Y'all act like I've never had a date before!” Tyson said laughing.

“ Oh boy please! Hell you never bring anyone around and when you
did
”
Nicole said rol ing her eyes.” You brought us crazy ass Kita!”

Tyson held his hands up in protest “ Now in my defense” Tyson said bursting out laughing “ I did NOT know Kita was crazy. I vetted her thoroughly...or so I thought. Hel I waited eight months before I even let her meet you guys!” Tyson said shaking his head at the memory of his ex- girlfriend of two years Kita . A year into his relationship with Kita,Tyson thought for certain, she'd end up being Mrs. Tyson James . After a year of a damn near perfect relationship,things soon went to hell in a hand basket.

Kita who started out being a strong, caring, independent woman a year into their relationship turned into a completely different woman when her mother and sister moved into town from out of state. When Tyson ended the relationship Kita didn't take it too well especially when she'd get wind he was even so much as causally dating anyone else. At one point Tyson had been forced to involve the police.
