They were getting to know each other and becoming comfortable talking to each other. Alonzo was explaining to Shanice how Kiyan signed him almost two months ago and how all he does is be in the studio working. Shanice began to tell him about her degree in business marketing and management. She then began to talk about her career as an event planner. When she was done, Alonzo was impressed that Shanice wasn't your typical hood chick. She made something out of herself and didn't let the hood hold her back.

"I'm impressed Sha." Alonzo complimented.

"Thank you, I try," Sha joked around.

"Nawh seriously. Here I am thinking you were only beauty. You got the brains to back it up. That's special ma,” Alonzo said.

"Awww, look at you making me blush"

"Yeah iight, so are you the only one who is an event planner," Alonzo asked.

"Yeah, I'm an event planner, Bri's an image consultant, Danielle's a sports agent, Chloe is a WNBA coach and Sabriya whom you haven't met yet is the fashion designer. She's the owner of Styles by S." Shanice bragged.

"Damn, that means all y'all making money. I ain't mad at y'all. I could tell y'all were different last night. All of the other chicks in the club were trying to strip in the club and all that other shit. You and your girls were just chilling having a good ole time. That's why I told my boy Kiyan to introduce me to y'all." Alonzo explained.

"Yeah, that's what we do. Kiyan seems cool. He went out with my best friend Bri today. I hope they're having a good time like us." Shanice added.

"Knowing Kiy, they should be good." Alonzo responded.

"Good. Well Alonzo I had a good time with you today." Shanice said.

"Me too. We have to do this again,” Alonzo said standing up to help her out of the chair.

"Definitely. Don't forget I might be planning your birthday party,” she reminded him

"There's no might. You are planning my party. When I meet up with Kiy and Cam later on I'm telling them I chose you," Alonzo said leaving out the diner walking to the parking lot.

As Lonzo was walking Shanice to her car, he gave a big hug and made her promise to text him when she get back to Bri's house. She promised and they both went their separate ways.

Chapter 6

"You damn right you did, you need to fix this shit" -Cam

While riding back home, to say Brielle was pissed was an understatement. She thought she would be ready to get over Murder, but as soon as she tried she was back at reality. Murder was a good for nothing, cheating ass nigga, but he never once called her a gold digger nor did he treat her like one. She knew that she would never want for nothing in life, but the fact that Kiyan approached her like she was a gold digger blew her mind. She thought to herself, Damn if he thought I was a gold digger his whole crew must think that. She didn't give a fuck about what Kiyan and his crew thought. She hoped he wasn't dumb enough to use her number after the shit he pulled at the restaurant. Once she got off the parkway she wished that all her girls were still in the house. They wouldn't believe the shit she went through with Kiyan.

Pulling up in front of her house, she noticed that Shanice hadn't made it back in from her date with Alonzo. She was praying that it went way better than that shit she called a date with Kiyan stupid ass. Every time she thought about what he said, she wanted to turn around and go slap the shit out of him. How dare he insinuate that she was a gold digger. She worked her ass off through college. She built her company up from the ground up. She wasn't given anything. She earned everything she had. Ugh, I can't believe this nigga, she thought. Brielle stepped out of Sha's car and went upstairs to wait for Shanice to come back so she could tell her girls about her fucked up date.

As soon as she stepped in her house, she heard Danielle and Sabriya in the living room laughing at Chloe. When the girls noticed that Brielle came in, they stopped laughing to ask her about her date with Kiyan.

"Hey Bri, how was your date with sexy ass Kiyan?" Chloe joked.

"Girl, lets wait for Sha to come back before I
