Chapter 31WARNING, WARNING! TUCK YOUR PEARLS AND TURN YOUR PHONE AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC! SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET ACTIVE!Essence’s POV: This was a bad idea. I thought I had my feelings in check enough to at least get me through this one hour. But my brain and my pussy said that’s a lie, I straight up lied to my damn self on this one. Being this close to Syncere had my heart racing and my cookies tingling. I swear she needs to get her shit together, focus Essence. We got this we are stronger then this, let’s just get this hour over with. Focusing on the papers and books on the table. “ So, you can go ahead and pull out your newer assignments for math and then we can tackle your English assignments. When he didn’t pull out his work, I glanced up and he was just looking at me. I frowned because he was looking at me like I pissed in his cereal. “What’s up, you can’t find your assignments?” “No I know where my assignments are.” “So what’s going on, why aren’t you pulling
Chapter 32WARNING, WARNING! TUCK YOUR PEARLS AND TURN YOUR PHONE AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC! SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET ACTIVE!Essence's POV: CONTINUED As soon as we were outside Syncere grabbed me by my hand which instantly made me lightheaded and hot all over. He pulled me to the side of his truck away from prying eyes that may come out of the Pit. “What the hell Syncere? What’s your problem?” “I told you I don't want you going out with Shawn, because I know what he’s about, and you don’t need to get mixed up with him.” Syncere said lowering his head to look me in the eyes. I can tell he was really mad which only pissed me off even more. Stepping in his face, which I immediately regretted, because he smelled so good and I was still reeling from when he grabbed my hand earlier. I had to stay strong because me and him can’t get caught up again. “Syncere I told you I can take care of myself, and I damn sure won’t do something I don’t want to do, no matter what Shawn might do or
WARNING, WARNING! TUCK YOUR PEARLS AND TURN YOUR PHONE AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC! SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET ACTIVE!Chapter 33Essence's POV: Continued I know I told yall this man could kiss, and I fully believe if people saw us, they would vote that we were definitely kiss fucking. We not even caring about the fact that we were only hidden from the people coming out of the Pit, but not the people going to the Pit or passing by. He is well known on this campus by almost everyone because he is the basketball star. So we should not be doing this out in the open like this, but my body is with all the shits, and that cum fog is a motha fucka. He was pressed up against me, I could feel his dick on my stomach, and it was rock hard just like before. I wrapped my arms around his neck trying to get closer, but we were already glued together. We were moaning and shit, just not even caring at fucking all. I broke the kiss, to lick and nip at his bottom lip. I felt his dick jump as he d
CHAPTER 34Friday 8:45pmSyncere’s POV: I was still reeling from what just happened with Essence earlier. I don’t know what the hell is going on with me it’s like I have no self-control when I’m anywhere near her. The more time I spend with her the more complicated it gets. Now I have to go see my actual girlfriend, while I’m still thinking about how Essence’s lips, breasts, and hands taste and feels. I have never came so hard and quick like that before. I had to lean against my car I was dazed and weak in the knees. It was either brace myself on my truck or risk falling on the ground. This is a fucked-up situation. I love my girl and I don’t want to hurt her. She has her flaws but I know she has a good side too. This thing with Essence is crazy and I don’t want to hurt her either. But it looks like now no matter what I do someone is going to get hurt. I know it was wrong to ask Essence to not go out with Shawn. I had no right to ask that when I had no plans of brea
Chapter 35 Syncere's POV: continued I looked out the patio doors and saw Jazz and Leah take another shot. She has been taking shots since we got here. Now her and Leah were tipsy, dancing, and laughing having the best time. Maybe the night won’t be so bad after all when I win everybody’s money. I might be able to get Jazz some extra stuff on her shopping spree tomorrow. “Yooo my boy is here now we can get this card game started. I just asked Syn if you were coming through, but he didn’t know.” Trent said to Shawn as he walked in. I closed my eyes because God can’t be this cruel to let Shawn come here with Essence right? Nah she wouldn’t come here because she doesn’t like Trent or Leah, so I know she wouldn’t come. “Oh, hey Essence, I didn’t know you and Shawn were a thing.” Trent said nervously. Damn my night just got fucking worse. What the hell was Shawn thinking bringing her here? “First, let’s be clear we are not a thing and Shawn didn’t tell me who was hosti
Chapter 36Essence’s POV: I really don’t know why these females have a problem with me. Now if Jazz knew what happened between me and Syncere then, I get it. But she doesn’t and I’m going to try and figure out what their problem really is. This is getting really old, regardless of whatever me and Syncere did, my patience is about to be running on fuck it at this point. So, I need this whole thing done and over with before things get out of hand. “Let’s get this shit over with, Please explain to me what your problem is with me? Since the first time I saw you and your friend, yall seem to want to be the ignorant mean girls at school like we in high school. You have been rude and disrespectful towards me and I have never really addressed it; because I really didn’t and still don’t care about what yall think about me. I don’t know you to not like you and I really don’t care to get to know you. But now you and your friend are taking it to a whole other level by being rude an
Chapter 37 Essence's POV: Continued “Yo hold up, just so there is no confusion or misunderstandings. Now I allowed you and your homegirl to say whatever yall wanted to say about me. So I need you and everyone else to hear and understand, that you got one more time to call me a bitch, and you gone think I'm Queen Latifa in here tonight, because I’m punching you dead in your eye. And if your friend’s feeling froggy she better be prepared to use one eye for the next week too, because I will be closing one of them motha fuckas tonight. So, let’s reframe from using words that will get you fucked up, because using words like those will definitely get you fucked up.” I said loud enough for everyone to hear. I was trying not to entertain them hoping that if I didn’t say anything they would let it go and move on eventually. But I draw the line when you start calling me a bitch. “Whatever you want everybody to think you so innocent and nice but everybody already knows you’re eas
Chapter 38Syncere’s POV: “Get your shit so we can go!” I said through clinched teeth. “What? Why do we have to leave? I thought you were about to play cards.” Jazz said, confused. “Nah I don’t feel like playing any more. You and Leah ruined everybody’s night and I don’t know how Leah is getting back to the campus because I’m not taking her nowhere in my truck.” I said angrily. Shawn came back into the house, looking pissed. “Yo Trent I’m about to get outta here.” Shawn said grabbing his keys off the table. “Come on man just hang out for a little while. You just got here.” Trent plead “Nah man your girl has fucked up the whole night. So, I’m just gonna head home.” Shawn said heading to the door. “I didn’t fuck up shit you fucked it up by bringing that whale to our kickback.” Leah shot back. “See this is why I’m leaving, they be outta pocket and think that shit funny and cute. And yall let them act like that without checking them. They were out of line and nobody had Essence’
Chapter 162Homecoming WeekThursday: 1pmBriana and Shawn: “I swear this place is so amazing and lively. It’s way more exciting being here then looking a pictures and the videos online.” Briana said as they made their way back to the Pitt for lunch. Shawn was grateful that Syn was with him because he knew that if they were alone, Briana would want to talk about them and their future, and he really didn't want to get into that right now. He frown at her mention of looking online at the school. “What made you look up the school?” Shawn asked curiously. “Oh, I am planning on going to college since the military will be paying for it, and when your mother told me where you were going to school, I decided I would look into it. While I was stranded and then held hostage, I had a lot of time to reflect on my decision, and I regretted leaving you like I did. We should have both picked a college together and started out lives. But I choose to follow in my mother’s footste
Chapter 161 The Pitt continued: Syncere and Shawn's table continued: Sharon's eyes widen at the idea, especially because she wasn't the one who came up with it. There is no way that Syncere could blame her for this. “That's sounds like fun, I have missed almost three years. It would be great to pick your brain on about who Shawn is now.” Briana said to Syncere “I don't think it's a good idea, I wouldn't want to intrude of your time with Shawn.” Syncere said, and Shawn's eyes widen at Syncere throwing him under the bus. It would be better for them to hang out as a group, so he wouldn't have to be alone with Briana. He had to admit that he was happy that she wasn't dead, he never wanted her to join the military, but she wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps. So she joined the marines and shortly after she was deployed overseas and then her plane was shot down. We were told there was no survivors, they even presented her parents with her dog tags wh
Chapter 160The Pitt: Syncere and Shawn's table:“Hey mother Jamison, I am so sorry I'm late my criminal justice class ran over today I hope you guys haven't ordered yet.” Jazz said smiling, not noticing the tension at the table. Syncere looked up at a smiling Jazz then turned to the left of him finally noticing the empty seat, then turned to his guilty looking mother. He glanced over at the table Essence and Kymoni was sitting hoping that they had left, but as soon as he looked over her way their eyes locked on each other. “Fuck!” he said to himself. “No sweetie we haven't ordered yet, you're just in time, there is an empty seat over there right next to Syncere.” Sharon said, with a smile. She had invited Jazz hoping that they would all be able to talk to find a way to fix this mess her son had made. She didn't know what Thomas's problem was, he had never talked to her in that way. He knew how important becoming Mayor was for her, she had put her career on hold at first
Chapter 159The Pitt: Continued: “Son, what are you doing, we found a table for all of us over there. Why are you disturbing these people’s breakfast, don't be rude.” Syncere's mother said shattering the moment. Syncere rolled his eyes, in anger. He already didn't want to do this breakfast and now his mom is making it worse. “I was speaking to my…my friends, yall can go ahead to the table and I will be over in a few.” Syncere said getting comfortable in the booth moving closer to Essence. “What's up Kymoni?” Shawn said, looking like he was sick, from wanting to be with Kymoni. Kymoni had her head down so low, Essence was sure she could count the grains in her grits. “I'm good, just trying to have breakfast and get to my next class.” Kymoni responded not even looking up. “Oh, I wanted to talk to you about something, after my eleven o’clock class.” “Shawn you can't meet anyone after class, you promised Briana that you would show her around campus. I'm sure that
Chapter 158Thursday Morning: 8 am Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “Mother why are you at my house so earlier, we just got back from our five-a.m. practice, we are just trying to get some sleep before our first class at eleven.” Syncere groaned answering the phone, to his mother telling him that everyone was at their apartment waiting for them to come down so they could all go to breakfast. “Oh please son when we were your age, we could work a full day party until dawn and take a two-hour nap and repeat it all again the next day. Now you and Shawn hurry so we can get the rest of our day started, we have a lot of things we have to get done for Sunday’s Luncheon for Briana and Shawn.” His mother said before hanging up. Syncere groaned and rolled his eyes, he looked at his phone to check the time and groan when he saw that it was eight o’clock. Shawn knocked on his door and stuck his head in. “I take it your mother called you to, I swear I am regretting even answeri
Chapter 157Essence's POV: Me and Kiki rode back to her dorm in silence, I know she needed the time to process her feelings. I wasn't worried, because I knew she would call me tomorrow and tell me everything that happened between her and Shawn. I was shocked myself, because I would have never thought that somebody would literally come back from the dead and be standing in Syncere and Shawn's door. That would have thrown my ass through a loop too, so I can get why Shawn was in a daze the whole time we were out there. From what I could gather was apparently Shawn and the dead girl grew up together and their parents thought they would be together and get married and start a family combining their families. I guess me being from the country I couldn't understand how all these mothers are in their kids’ lives to the point that they are literally controlling who their children is in a relationship with. I already know that Syncere's mother doesn't like me and she i
Chapter 156Shawn and Syncere's Living Room: Continued As soon as they entered the living room, everyone stopped talking to look at them. “Yea, our ride is a few minutes out, so we are just going to wait outside.” Essences said, making her way to the door, wanting to get out before Syncere's mom makes her cuss your out. Syncere hopped up blocking her way out. “What? No you’re not going to stand outside to wait for the car. You can wait in here until they get here, you have your notification on so you will get the alert when they are here.” Syncere said trying to guide her to a chair. "Syncere, son let them go if that's what they want to do. It's probably for the best, I'm sure they feel uncomfortable with Briana and Shawn's rekindling their relationship and talking about how you plan to get my future daughter-in-law back.” Syncere's mother said with a smirk. “See this is what we were trying to avoid, to say she's a politician she is way too invested in her
Chapter 155Syncere and Shawn's apartment:Syncere's Room: Syncere and Essence: “Hey, I'll book a pick up, when I get to Syncere's room.” Essence said as they walked back to the guys rooms. Essence could tell that her friend was hurting, and she didn't like it. She was tempted to go back and start checking them, but she held herself in check which took a lot of slow breathing. Essence sat down in Syncere's recliner tapping the screen of her phone so hard trying to schedule a car to pick them up, that Syncere thought it would crack. “What the hell are you doing, I am not letting you hop in a car with some stranger.” Syncere said as he took Essence's phone. “Syncere, you know we can't stay here, you already know your mom don’t like me and we can't let her know that we're together. You also know that I'm not letting Kymoni leave without me.” “Well I'll drop Kymoni off at her dorm room and we can go back to your place.” “Syncere, your parents are here as well as Shawn's paren
Chapter 155 Syncere and Shawn's apartment:A few minutes earlier:Essence and Kymoni: Syncere had gone to see who was at the door, he left Essence in his room promising that he would get rid of whoever it was and they were going to finish what he started. She thought to herself smiling at how mad he was when the door bell rung, but he has been gone for a hot minute. Essence wondered who could be out there. She went to the door and pressed her ear up to it to see if she could hear anything. She knew she was being nosey as hell, but oh well. A soft knock almost made Essence jump clean out of her skin, “Hey Essi are you in there alone?” Kymoni asked from the door. Snatching the door open, she pulled Kymoni into the room. “Bitch I damn near shitted myself, I was trying to be nosey, trying to hear what the hell is going on. Syncere said he was getting rid of whoever it was, but it's been a few minutes and he still isn't back yet.” “Shawn left too, I got tired
