Chapter 14

“I’m not getting over shit because at the end of the day you belong to me.”

-Jaiden “Murder”

This had been the longest two months ever. Brielle had a boyfriend, and according to Kiyan’s eyes their relationship was perfect and she was happy. They barely had their weekend outings. They still spoke everyday but whenever Kiyan tried to meet up with her, it seemed she already had plans with Kris.

At this point, Kiyan was moving on with his life. He never had a problem getting women; the problem was finding the right one. He had spent over four months trying to make Brielle change her mind about him. But he vowed that he was done. He wasn’t the type to be a sucker over a girl who didn’t want him. That’s why he was doing what he was doing now.

Kiyan was on his way out on his third date with Samara, a girl he met at the bank. Samara was a caramel complexion with a short black haircut mixed with a few red highlights. She was 5’5 and resembled a thick Meagan Good. At first sight she seemed like a good catch for Kiyan, but you never know these days. She graduated college and now she had a fulltime job as an office assistant.

Kiyan wanted to take her to the same Hibachi restaurant that he took Brielle on their first date, but he didn’t want to be reminded of his fuck ups with Bri. So he decided that a simple date to Red Lobster would be better. He didn’t really know too much about Samara. So he thought Red Lobster would be a nice environment for them to get to know each other better.

Samara and Kiyan had been in the car for the pass twenty minutes making small talk. When his phone started singing “Sure Thing by Miguel” “Even when the sky comes falling, even when the sun don't shine. I got faith in you and I, so put your pretty little hand in mine. Even when we're down to the wire baby, even when it's do or die. We can do it baby simple and plain, Cause this love is a sure thing.” Brielle’s picture popped up and Samara saw it as soon as it began ringing.

“Excuse me while I take this,” Kiyan commented.

“Sure, do your thing,” Samara said pulling out her phone, looking the other way.

“Hello,” Kiyan said answering his phone with his Bluetooth.

“What are you doing Light Bright?”

“Driving to Red Lobster, why wassup?”

“Nothing really, I just was bored and wanted to bother you.”

“Oh really, well let me hit you back.”

“Cool, have fun at Red Lobster!”

“Iight cool, I’ll talk to you later,” Kiyan said hanging up.

“Was that your girlfriend,” Samara asked.

At this moment Kiyan couldn’t wait to see Cam and Zo. Those two put Sure Thing on his phone for Brielle’s ringtone when he lost a bet while they were at the studio. Now here he was in an awkward situation with Samara.

“Nawh, that was Brielle. She’s one of my close friends.”

“Oh really, does all of your close friends have ringtones like that?”

“Nawh, I didn’t put that as her ringtone. One of my boys did it.”

“So did you and Brielle date?”

“We went out on a date once, nothing came out of it, but a friendship.”

“Oh okay. So I have nothing to worry about?”

“Nawh, you’re good.”

“Cool because I think we could go really far if we try,” Samara smiled.

“Let’s see how this goes,” Kiyan winked and gave Samara a smile. Maybe Samara would be what he needed the most.

Brielle was sitting on the couch thinking how so much had changed over the past two months. She barely had time to keep up with her friends, she didn’t really see or speak to her mother, and she’s been miserable around Kris. All he did was aggravate her and act like he was better than everybody he came around. She remembered the day everyone went out to Dave and Busters, everyone was having fun and he sat talking and complaining to the manager at Dave and Busters about sanitary issues. He was just plain ole aggravating.

Reminiscing on the couch made Brielle miss all of her friends even more. She called Kiyan but she figured he was busy because he only kept her on the phone for three minutes and said he
