The story of Tyron and Collette |
|
“Oh I don’t believe this,” Shauna said looking wide-eyed at the entrance. “Look who just walked in with a tail?"1 Talita looked up and exclaimed, “oh my God, Collette’s going to freak when she see this. I don’t know why she is still seeing that dog anyhow.” 2 Collette looked at her two friends with their heads stuck together and started smiling. Knowing her friends as she did, they’re probably talking about somebody and don’t want her to preach to them about it. Laughingly Collette asked, “What are you two whispering about over there? I bet y’all talking bout somebody, ain’t ya?” 3 Shauna and Talita looked at Collette with blank faces, “Nothing, we just trying to have a private conversation” they said innocently.4 Collette noticed that they were both still looking at the door. Curiously, Collette turned to see what they were looking at so disapprovingly. Seeing Jason standing at the door, Collette began to smile, not understanding why her friends were always giving Jason such a hard time. Collette looked at her friends again, seeing that they were still shooting daggers at Jason said, “Why y’all always picking on my Babe?” 5 “Cause your baby’s a hoe” Shauna said looking Collette directly in the eye.16 “Well, anyways,” Collette said, “Y’all can just leave my babe alone. I’m going to invite him to sit at our table, so deal with it.” 7 Talita and Shauna both looked at Collette as if she was crazy. 8 “I don’t think that would be such a good idea.” Talita said calmly realizing that Collette hadn’t seen Stacy standing next to Jason. 9 “And just why not?” Collette asked sarcastically. 10 “I don’t think Stacy would like that very much, and since she is clinging to him like a second skin, I don’t think she’s having it tonight” Shauna said in an equally sarcastic voice. 11 “What! Jason would never bring her here especially if he knew I was going to be here. Why you playing like that. It ain’t even much funny. Besides, Jason and I agreed that we would not bring anyone else to this place, this is our place.” 12 “Yeah and Jason is known for being a man of his word,” Shauna said with a trace of sarcasm still in her voice. 13 Talita looked at Collette, with sympathy in her eyes and said, “Lette, I know you don’t want to believe it, but all you got to do is turn around and see for your self. You know I wouldn’t play with you like that. I know how you feel about Jason. Why would I or Shauna want to hurt you like that?” 14 Shauna looked over at where Jason was sitting, “look at him, the dog has been staring over here since he got a table. Look let he’s about ready to run.” 215 Collette slowly turned in her seat to the direction her friends were looking. The instant Collette saw Jason and Stacy sitting together less than three tables away her heart sank. Disbelief, pain and anger all crossed her face instantaneously. Collette couldn’t take her eyes of Jason. As if he knew she was looking at him, he never looked up. Collette wanted him to look up so she could give him her I’m about to go off look, but he never did. After about a minute of looking at Jason and Stacy sitting there in her club, she had had enough. Before Collette could get up, she heard her and Jason’s song come on. She almost began to cry. Collette really couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Jason and Stacy get up to dance off of their song.16 “Oh “H” Nawl. I know he is not dancing with her off of our song. I don’t believe this mess. You know that’s the song he plays every time we make love.” Collette paused for a minute, looking at the couple on the dance floor. 17 “That’s it, I’m about to turn this mother out in here.” Collette slowly started to stand, with murder in her eyes. 18 Talita quickly grabbed her arm, “Lette, think about what you’re doing and where you are at.” 19 Collette looked at Talita with eyes darken from pain and anger “I know exactly what I’m doing and where I am, apparently Jason is the one who doesn’t know where he is, but I’ll fix that right now. I’m going over there and go slap off. Now let me go so I can take out the trash.” 20 “Like I always say Lette, You sleep with dogs you get up with fleas, go handle your bit-ness girl” Shauna said, ready for a fight. 21 “I’m not going to let you do this Lette. Who do you think this is going to fall back on? She is his wife Lette, if you go charging over there, you’ll only look like a fool and think of how you will feel when he pretends that he doesn’t know why you’re acting like that or if he tells you that he can take his wife anywhere he wants to or worst, what if he dis you for her. Think about it Lette, he knew you were going to be here, but he bought her here anyway. He is counting on you knowing the score and letting things go.” 22 Collette sat back in her seat with a sigh. 23 “Oh nawl, Collette, I know you not gone let this go like this?” Shauna said angrily, if I were you, I would put that dog in his place.” 24 “I don’t need this from you Rambo,” Collette said with a shaky voice, “I have enough to deal with right now.” 325 “Collette, I hope you know that you deserve better than that dog,” Talita said softly. 26 Collette looked at Talita with unshed tears in her eyes, “It hurts, Lita, It really hurts. I never thought that he would do this to me.” 27 “I know girl, but you got to keep your head up. Don’t let him know that he has that effect on you. Act as if he’s not there.” 28 “I wish I could Lita, but I keep seeing visions of murder.” “You know.” 29 “You know," Shauna said thoughtfully. "There is more than one way to skin a cat.” 30 “What scheme are you cooking up now Shauna?” Talita asked knowing that Shauna’s was famous for her revenge plots. 31 Shauna gave Talita a “No you didn’t” Look. “ Why I got to be scheming because I made a simple comment. You guys always talking bout people be scheming.” 32 “Cause we know you’re an evil witch at times,” Collette added with a smile. 33 “Okay Shauna, Tell us what you’re cooking up,” Talita said cautiously. 34 “Well” Shauna said robbing her hands together excitedly, “Collette, you know how jealous Jason can be at times” 35 “Yeah.” Collette said smiling again. 36 “Well” Shauna said, “lets just even the score a little and heat things up. If you can’t beat him or kill him, why not join him.” 37 “What exactly are you saying Shauna?” Collette asked. 38 “Okay, Let me spell it out for you. You know that Jason gets very jealous when another guy tries to talk to you right?” 39 “Right.” 40 “Lette several fine brothers have been trying to talk to you since we got here, but you were trying to be a good girl and didn’t give them any play. So why don’t you start flirting with some of them? Dance with one or two, or better yet, choose one and chill with him for a while, dance and have a good time. Put on a real show. Let him see how it feels to be put in a position where he just have to take it.” 41 Talita looked at Shauna with awe. “Leave it to you Shauna to come with a super pie in your face plot, but I Like it and just to show you guys that I’m a team playa, I’ve come up with the perfect candidate for the job that will make Jason’s head spin.” 42 “Who?” Shauna and Collette said in unison.43 “I’ll give you a hint. He’s about 6’3”, about 175lbs of muscular deep chocolate. He has a smile that I’ve heard Collette describe as heavenly and in Collette’s words, he has dreamy bedroom brown eyes and full kissable lips.” 44 “Tyron,” Shauna said with a knowing smile, “Now why didn’t I think of that. I guess I’m rubbing off on you Talita, cause Tyron would be perfect, Shall we say Poetic Justice.”45 “I don’t know guys,” 46 “Lette, you know Jason has always been jealous of you and Tyron’s friendship. I think Jason seeing you and Tyron all hot and heavy on the dance floor would be just what the doctor ordered.” 47 “I don’t know,” Collette, said again, “I would feel a little funny being up on Tyron like that. Me and Tyron have been friends since Junior High School.” 48 “Please!” Shauna said rolling her eyes upward. “I’ve seen you and Tyron Dancing together when Jason was not around. It’s Straight Scandalous.” 49 Collette took one more look at Jason sitting there with Stacy, who had just returned to there seat. As Collette was looking at the couple, Stacy looked her in the eye as if saying, Yeah, I’m here with him and yes, I did just dance off of your song. Jason was sitting there like he didn’t have a care in the world. Collette thought why not, She had to admit that Shauna’s idea sounded real good right about now. Bedside’s she really enjoyed dancing with Tyron, they always seemed to be in sync. They just blended together. Collette especially enjoyed any opportunity to be wrapped in Tyron’s arms. If only. Collette didn’t allow herself to complete that thought. Wishful thinking would not get her anywhere, besides she had enough to deal with tonight without hoping for something that could not be50 Tyron watched Collette from the corner of the club. He had seen the hurt way she kept looking at Jason. He wanted to kill Jason for what he was doing to Collette. Why couldn’t she see Jason for what he was? She deserved so much more that what Jason was giving her. She deserved someone who truly loved her. Someone like… him. 6 years, 6 long years, Collette stayed with Jason. No matter what he did, she continued to love and support him, while Tyron continued to love her from a distance. Tyron thought to himself, it’s funny; the thing that he loved most about her was the thing that kept her tied to Jason, Her Loyalty.51 “Tyron?” Dexter said after Tyron did not answer him the first time. 52 “Huh” Tyron said absentmindedly. 53 “I asked you what was up with your girl Collette. She looks like she’s at a funeral instead of in a jumping club.” 54 “Its Jason Man. He’s in here with the wifey acting like Collette doesn’t exist. You know any other time, he would be all over Collette like a second skin.” Tyron said bitterly. 55 Dexter looked at his friend and felt his anguish. “Tyron, when are you going to tell her that you are crazy about her and put her and you out of this self imposed misery.” 56 Tyron look at Collette with longing in his eyes. “I wish I could man, but she loves Jason, or so she keeps telling me when we talk on the phone all night after one of his escapades.” 57 “Tyron let me ask you a question.” 58 “Okay Dex, shot.” 59 “If she loves Jason so much, how come its you that she runs to every time something good or bad happens, and more importantly, if she loves Jason so much, why is it that she gave her virginity to you and not to him?" 60 The shock showed on Tyron’s face. “How did you know? I never told you.” 61 “I know you didn’t.” Dexter said, “and frankly, I’m a little hurt. I thought we told each other everything.” Dexter gave Tyron his best sad face. “But seriously, I came by your house that night remember? You and Collette were lying in your bed talking. When I walked in the room, you both jumped a mile high.” 62 “Okay, but it wasn’t anything new for Collette and me to be laying across my bed talking. What made you put two and two together?” Tyron asked. 63 “You had that look like you had just got caught with your hands in the cookie jar and Collette had that just been loved for the first time look. You know that googol eyed look. Besides, your little brother told me he heard strange sounds coming from your room. I didn’t put it together until I saw the two of you together with strange looks on your face.” “And,” Dexter continued smiling, “Everyone in Raiderville knew that Collette was the last American Virgin.” 64 Tyron just stood there for a minute looking at Dexter and shaking his head. “Dex, man you’ve known all this time and you never said anything.” 65 “Man, that was something private between you and her. I figured that you would eventually tell me and when you didn’t mention it, I knew that you had to love her a lot. I know we never talk about the ones we love. Man, why do you think I ride you so hard about this friendship thing you two say you have?” Dexter looked at Tyron again still standing in the same corner, 66 “Look Frat, I can’t tell you what to do, but this is a golden opportunity for you. Collette has come face to face with the truth about who Jason is and the true nature of the relationship he has with Stacy. Tyron, you and I both know that he told Collette something like, he loves her more that Stacy and that she will always be number one and she didn’t have to worry about him and Stacy. Now Collette has to face the reality that Jason is married to Stacy and this is your chance for her to see you, not as her friend, but as a man who loves her and who is willing to commit to her. Now stop standing over here in this corner like a lost puppy and go get your dream girl and show Jason what he is about to loose. Besides as mad as she is right now, I can already see you two burning the floor up, not that the two of you need an excuse to grind up on each other.” 67 Tyron had to smile about that one. Him and Collette did have a way of dancing with each other that made other’s talk. Besides, he would love to knock Jason a couple of notches down and let him see how it feels. “Thanks man,” Tyron said as he began walking towards Collette’s table. “You always got my back.” 68 “That’s what Frat brothers are for, now go show that girl some true blue love.”69 Shauna spotted Tyron as soon as he started walking toward them. She jokily said to Collette, “Don’t look now Lette, but here comes you Knight in black acid wash.”70 Collette turned a saw Tyron walking toward her smiling. He looked so good wearing the black acid wash jean set that Collette had picked out for him when they went shopping together last week. Collette had to admit that Tyron was one fine deep chocolate brother. Yep, Tyron was something fione. He was 6’3” of solid muscle. He had a well-defined six-pack and a chest that was rock solid. He had a smooth dark complexion that could be described as perfect. Collette noticed that as Tyron walked across the club, several women watched him walk by, probably wishing that he would stop at their table. Tyron had that kind of cool confident walk that made everyone around him stop and notice. Collette and her friends continued to watch Tyron walk toward them. 71 Shauna said, “Look at that frat walk.” 72 “And what a sexy walk it is” Collette said. Blushing when she realized that she had really said what was on her mind. Talita and Shauna looked at each other and smiled. They had been trying to get those two together forever. Maybe, just maybe, tonight will be the night.73 “Hi Sorors, what up tonight?” Tyron asked as he reached their table. 74 “You with your fine self.” Shauna said smiling.75 Collette looked at Shauna and rolled her eyes upward. Tyron turned to Collette “Girl what you doing holding the table up? You know we’re suppose to be tearing it up on the dance floor, doing the Humpty Dance.” Tyron said while moving his body in the motion of dancing. 76 Collette looked at Tyron trying to dance and started laughing. “Didn’t feel like dancing without you out there with me making me laugh with your no rhythm self. How is it that a man that can beat the you know what out of some drums, can have no rhythm on the dance floor?”77 Tyron looked at Collette with a feigned hurt look. “So its like that huh?” 78 “Yep, it’s exactly like that.” 79 Talita and Shauna watched the playful exchange noticing that Collette hadn’t looked towards Jason’s table since Tyron arrived. 80 Shauna not one to miss an opportunity for a smart remark said, “Lette, you don’t have a problem with Tyron’s rhythm when y’all grinding up on each other to some Luther or any slow song for that matter.” 81 Tyron looked at Shauna. “Thanks Soror, at least someone can see that I have rhythm when it matters. Besides Lette, I think we are a good fit, a very good fit, I mean when we are slow dancing.” 82 Collette started to blush as Shauna and Talita gave each other a knowing look. Collette leaned over to Tyron and whispered “don’t give them any ammo, they already swear we are hiding a secret affair.” 83 Tyron smiled and whispered in Collette’s ear, “We are. Remember?” 84 Collette started blushing again. “You’re so bad” She whispered. 85 “Hey you two, It’s not polite to whisper.” Shauna said. 86 “ Lette, It’s nice to see you smiling again. When I first walked over here, you were looking so sad. I’d like to think that I made you smile.” 87 “Tyron you always know how to make me smile no matter what the situation.” Collette said. 88 “Lette, you know I’m your friend right?” 89 "Yes Ty I know” 90 "So I have to say this. Lette, I hope you know that you deserve better than this.” 91 "Amen” Shauna and Talita chorused. “That’s what we’ve been telling her every since that bastard walked through the door.” 92 “Okay Sister Militant,” Tyron said, “but seriously Lette, you are too good for him.” 93 “Deep down inside Ty, I know you’re right. I just never thought it would end like this. I can’t believe I fell for all of his lies. That’s what hurt the most, I actually believed him. He said that I was number one and that he would never disrespect me for anyone. We agreed that this would be our little spot. He wouldn’t bring her here and I wouldn’t bring another man here. Ty, he promised me.” 94 “Yeah and he is known to be a man of his word,” Tyron said sarcastically. 95 “Exactly,” Shauna added, "that’s exactly what I said. In my opinion, he is nothing but a dog, no scratch that, dogs are loyal; he is nothing but a pig. I don’t know why Lette continues to stay with his trifling behind.” 96 “I think Collette stays with him because she has never been with anyone else. She doesn’t know what else is out there. Jason was her first love and first lover and she has never adventured out to see what good thing could be waiting for her right under her nose.” Talita said. 97 Tyron looked at Collette and smile. Collette looked down at her hands, wondering what her friends would say if they knew the truth. 98 Tyron put his hands on top of Collette’s hands. “Well Lette, you have one of two choices, you can either sit here and look pitiful.”99 " Pitiful!” Collette asked, 100 “yes pitiful,” Tyron said “Or I can ask the DJ to play another slow jam and we can, as Shauna would say, grind up on some Luther or Shirley Murdock. The choice is yours.” 101 Collette looked Tyron in the eye and said, “I’d prefer a little TP” 102 Tyron looked at Collette and smiled. TP’s Turn off the lights was playing in the background when he and Collette had made love for the first and only time. 103 Tyron smiled as he walked towards the DJ booth. “She remembers,” he thought to himself. Tyron walked over to the DJ stand to ask DJ Ron to play a song by TP and send it out to him and Collette. 104 DJ Ron looked at Tyron and smiled. “Since you my boy, I play the Album version of Turn Off the Lights for you and Collette. It’s about time you two stopped pretending. Everyone can see that you two love each other.” 105 Tyron just shuck his head and began to slowly walk back to the table, He knew the girls would still be asking questions and giving advice, besides, this gave him an opportunity to get a good look at Collette without being observed. She was really looking good tonight, Tyron thought to himself. “If only?” Tyron stopped himself from even continuing that thought.106 “Lette, did you see how Jason was trying to sneak and watch you and Tyron?” Talita asked.107 “No” Collette said, “I wasn’t paying attention to him.” 108 “Good” said Shauna, “Let that pig see how it feels.” 109 Collette looked up and notice that Tyron was still far enough away said, “You know, it’s strange, now that Tyron is here, all of this just doesn’t seem to matter anymore. I mean, yes I’m hurt and angry, but at the same time, I’m glad that Tyron is here. I really enjoy being with him. I just don’t want to put him in the middle of all of this.” 110 “I think, no, I know that you care more for Tyron than you are willing to admit even to yourself.”111 “Of course I care Talita, Tyron and I have been friends since Junior High School. Every time I’ve needed him he has been there for me and vice versa.” Collette said.112 “Girl please!” Shauna said, “You know you hot for that man and it has nothing to do with friendship and everything to do with hot bodies slapping against each other. Hell as fine as Tyron is, if he wasn’t in love with you, I’d be all over him.” 113 "Girl Please," Collette said, "Tyron does not love me, not in that way. We're just friends. 114 "Well Ms. Thang, here comes your friend now, all smiling and anticipating grinding up on you," Shauna said.115 Tyron reached their table and grabbed Collette's hand. "You ready to do this." Tyron asked. 116 "She is more than ready," Shauna said. Collette rolled her eyes upward and looked at Shauna. 117 "Anyways" Collette said. "Yeah Tyron, I'm ready." Then with a smile Collette added, "Like Shauna said, I'm more than ready for you, I mean to dance with you." 118 " Me too" Tyron said. "Me too." Collette started to blush; she knew her friends would definitely read something into that exchange. 119 Just as Tyron and Collette started walking towards the dance floor, DJ Ron came over the speakers. "Party People, We'll going to slow it down a bit and jam with some TP. This goes out my boy Tyron and Collette. Let TP take you there and Love bring you back." 120 Just as DJ Ron was finishing his dedication, Tyron and Collette stepped onto the dance floor directly in front of Jason's table. Collette walked into Tyron's arms and all thoughts of Jason disappeared. 121 This feels like heaven, Collette thought to herself. I wonder if Tyron feels it to. Collette began to get a little hopeful that what her friends said was true. It felt so right being in Tyron's arms and if it feels this right, that has to mean something. Collette compared being in Tyron's arms like coming home after a long tiring trip away. It just felt damn good.122 Tyron was lost from the moment Collette stepped into his arms. Collette fit perfectly in his arms. Tyron was wondering if Collette was feeling the magic that he was feeling. Tyron knew that if something felt this right, it had to be special. Tyron was trying to find the right time to tell Collette how he really felt about her. He had planned to tell her while they were dancing. Now if he could just build up his nerves.123 Collette could feel Jason's eyes burning a whole in her back. Collette self-conscientiously moved closure to Tyron. Tyron must have noticed Jason watching them. 124 He leaned over and whispered in Collete's ear "You want to give him a real show, or you want to keep it G- rated?" 125 Collette looked up at Tyron and smiled, "Lets do this thing X-rated, you know how we usually get down." 126 Tyron pulled Collette even closure to him and the two of them melted together. You couldn’t tell where Tyron ended and Collette began. They were moving together to the music like two people lost in a love dance. Several people stopped dancing and looked at them. It was like magic. Drawing everyone in. Everyone in the building noticed the chemistry between the two dancers. The majority of them always thought there was something more to their friendship than they were telling everyone.127 Jason, sitting there watching them wanted to get up and say something, but knew that he didn't have a right to say anything, especially with Stacy sitting next to him. It was really eating him up to watch Tyron holding his woman like that. Jason knew he was in a difficult position. He just didn't want to loose Collette. He loved her in his own way and he needed her because she believed in him. Jason knew that if he had not married Stacy, pregnant or not, this wouldn't be happening because he would be here with Collette. Collette had stood by him through thick and thin. Jason knew that bringing Stacy here would cause problems, but arrogantly, he thought that Collette would understand. Jason thought a little about the vow that he and Collette made about not bringing anyone to this club. This was supposed to be their special spot, but Stacy insisted on coming. After all she was his wife. Jason saw the hurt look on Collette's face as he and Stacy danced to Love for Two. How did Stacy know that that song had a special meaning for him and Collette? Love for Two. That was the song that he and Collette first made love too. In fact, that was the first time that Collette had ever made love and he had the privilege of being the first.128 Stacy looked at her husband watching the other woman. Why is it that his mind was always on Collette even though he married her? He choose her to share his life with, but he never let go of Collette. Jason had been between the two of them for the past 6 years and they had been married for 3 of those years. Stacy knew that if her and Jason were going to have a real marriage, there would need to be a show down and Jason would have to make a choice once and for all. Stacy was tired of spending several nights a week home alone, while he is out with Collette. Stacy was still upset about Jason spending the night before their wedding with Collette, but enough was enough. Stacy kept looking at Jason watch Collette dance. Stacy knew that he was upset. She could see his fist balled up under the table and the vein in his neck popping up. Stacy could see that Jason was about to go off. She knew that now was the time to deal with this. Stacy knew all it would take was a little push to cause the confrontation she wanted. She needed Collette to see that she was Jason's wife and that Jason would always respect her as his wife.129 Stacy looked at Jason and said, "The only thing they're missing is a bed." 130 Jason looked at Stacy like he wanted to choke her. "What?" He asked.131 "I said, all they are missing is a bed. To bad for you," Stacy said.132 Tyron and Collette were lost in each other as they continued to dance. Tyron sensed that this would be the perfect time to remind Collette of there one special moment and to tell her how he really feel about her. Tyron began to rub Collette's back as they danced.133 "Do you remember what it was like when I made love to you your first time?" Tyron whispered in Collette's ear. 134 All Collette could do was nod her head. Collette vividly remember what it was like being in Tyron arms. Collette's heart was in her throat. She looked into Tyron's eyes and everything seized to exist. It was just she and Tyron. Collette had never admitted to anyone, including herself just how special and fulfilling it was making love to Tyron. She had never felt that complete or that loved with Jason. 135 Tyron, seeing that he had touched a spot with Collette, whispered, "Collette, I was your first and I want to be your last. I love you and I always have." 136 Collette tightened her arms around Tyron. She could not believe it. Tyron really loves her. Collette moved even closer to Tyron. Tyron leaned over a gently kissed Collette. Collette eagerly returned the kiss. Several people, including Collette's friends began to clap. Tyron and Collette were so caught up in each other; they did not even realize that the song had changed.137 Stacy's mouth opened and closed again. She could not believe her luck. All she would have to do is sit back and watch. Stacy started laughing.138 "Well Jason, I guess my being here is causing all kind of trouble in your paradise." 139 Jason looked at Stacy and back at Collette and Tyron. Jason couldn't believe that Stacy would allow another man to kiss her. Stacy or no Stacy, I'm going to deal with this, Jason thought to himself. Jason jumped up from his seat as Tyron was leaning down to give Collette another kiss and Collette didn't look like she was going to stop him. 140 "What the hell is going on here?" Jason demanded. 141 "What does it look like?" Tyron said stepping between Collette and Jason. 142 Jason looked a Collette with a pained expression, "what's going on baby? I thought it was just you and I. You told me that I was the only man you wanted touching you and I see you in here locking lips with this." pointing at Tyron. 143 Tyron looked around the room with amazement. "Did he just call me this?" Tyron asked. 144 "Yes he did." Shauna said having seen the show and running over to offer her assistance if needed. 145 Collette seeing that Tyron and Shauna were in attack mode, stepped in front of Tyron and placed her hand on his arm, "Hold up guys, I got this." Collette looked Jason in his eyes. 146 "You have a lot of nerve 'baby'. Bouncing over here like you have a right to say anything to me. Who I touch and who I let touch me is none of your business. You come prancing in here, in what used to be our spot with tail in tow, grinding up on her to our song and I'm suppose to grin and bare it, but when someone who cares about me and only me gives me a kiss, you want to go off. Nigga Please!" 147 "You tell him girl,” Talita said surprising everybody. 148 Jason looked at Collette feeling both sad and angry, “but that’s my wife Collette, you know that. What else was I suppose to do?” 149 “ You know what you’re right Jason, I did know that you had someone that you were married to. What else could you have done? Well for starters, you could have kept your word to me, but you know what, I can’t even blame you for this. It was silly me for believing you when you said that I was number 1 and the love of your life. I believed you when you said that you only married Stacy because she was pregnant, Mr. I believe in family and doing the right thing. Don’t worry Collette you said, this will never come between what we have, our love is special, a once in a life time love.” 150 “But Collette.” Jason said. 151 “ Jason, I’m not finished yet.” Collette continued. “For the past 6 years, 6 years Jason, I stood by you, held your hand and supported you in all that you did. Even when all of my friends called my crazy, I defended you. I’m the one who helped you to start your business. I’m the one that worked with you and invested my money to make J&S Industries a success and after all of that, you have the nerve to throw in my face that she is your wife.” Collette threw her arms up in surrender. “Fine Jason, she is your wife, now go back to her and get out of my life. From now on, I’m only going to be with someone who is able to love me and be committed to me. And to think, I wasted 6 years of my life on you. Shauna said it best; you’re nothing but a pig. You want me to be faithful to you, while you have your cake and ice cream too. Nawl baby, I don’t even much think so.” Collette said as she turned to walk away. 152 As she was walking, Jason grabbed her shoulder to stop her, “but I love you Collette.” 153 Collette paused for a minute and without looking back said, “yeah? But Stacy is your wife and being the other woman is not good enough for me, I deserve more.” Collette tried to move out of Jason’s grip, but he held on to her. 154 “What about the promise we made to each other Collette?” 155 “The promise? Jason, you broke that promise when you married Stacy, I just didn’t want to admit that to myself then. How can we spend forever together when you are married to someone else? Now let me go.” 156 Jason released his hold of Collette and her, Tyron, Shauna and Talita walked out of the club, heads held high. Jason yelled after them, “it ain’t over Collette, you still love me, you know you do. You can’t just walk away from 6 years.” Collette kept walking without looking back.157 Jason stood there for a moment watching Collette leave with Tyron and her friends. He couldn’t believe that he was going to lose her to Tyron. Jason turned slowly and walked back over to his table where Stacy was sitting looking ready for a fight. Jason thought to himself, I don’t need this from her right now. She has already done enough for one night.158 As Jason took his seat next to Stacy, she looked him in his eyes and said, “She just did.” 159 "Did what?” Jason asked Blankly. “Walk away from 6 years. You can do that when there are no ties.” 160 “I’m not in the mood for this Stacy, don’t start.” 161 “You know what Jason, You have disrespected me enough, I’m ready to go home. Now!” 162 Jason looked at Stacy; he could not believe that she tripping after all of this. After all, she proved her point. She should be happy. 163 “Disrespected you?” Jason asked. “How you figure? I may have just lost the one woman that I truly loved because I didn’t disrespect you. You wanted to show the world that you’re my wife, well you did. Happy now?” 164 “That’s right Jason, I am you’re wife. You can be as sarcastic as you want to be, but it does not change the fact that you married me. You married me of your own free will and choose to stay married to me these last 3 years. No one held a gun to your head. You made a choice and you choose me. So if she is the love of your life and the one woman you truly love, why didn’t you marry her?" Stacy said as she stood to leave. “So don’t catch an attitude with me cause you got caught up in your mess. You’re already sleeping on the couch until further notice.” 165 Jason looked at Stacy “That’s fine with me, I’d rather sleep anywhere than with you.” Jason stood and followed Stacy outside.166 Stacy and Jason rode in silence. Jason was glad that Stacy had decided not to talk to him right now. He was trying to figure out a way to get Collette back and get things back to normal. Jason just kept thinking I don't want to loose her. Not like this. Jason knew he should have married her instead of Stacy, but when Stacy got pregnant, everything changed. He kept hoping that Collette would get pregnant to, but Collette had goals. She wanted to go to college and told him there was no way she was going to have a baby until she finished her education, so he married Stacy. In the beginning things were okay. He had Stacy at home and could still be with Collette whenever he wanted to, but lately Stacy and Collette were becoming more demanding. He knew eventually, he would have to choose, but he thought it would be on his terms. He knew Collette was getting to that stage where she wanted a family, but he couldn’t just walk away from his children with Stacy. How did he get himself into this mess? Jason knew that things would have been different if he would have married Collette instead of Stacy, but he has to deal with the way things are now and right now they are a mess. Whatever it takes, Jason made up his mind that he was going to get things back to normal around him.167 Stacy Looked at Jason lost in thought. She knew what or whom he was thinking about, as usual, but she was lost in her own thoughts at the moment and would not concern herself with him. In spite of Jason’s attitude, Stacy thought that tonight went better than she had hoped when she planned it. She had in one night; shown Collette what she wanted her to see 3 years ago, that she was Jason’s wife and the mother of his children. Jason would always respect her. Things did get a little out of hand and Stacy had to admit that when Jason grabbed Collette’s shoulder, she got a little afraid cause she knew that Jason was getting desperate and she was not sure what he would do or if Collette would forgive him. Stacy knew that Jason would not leave Collette. The only way the get between them was to turn Collette against him. Now that Collette is out of the picture, hopefully permanently, Stacy would have to figure out how to get her marriage on track. After all, she had also invested 6 years and has given Jason 2 beautiful children.168 Collette, Tyron, Shauna and Talita walked out to the parking lot. Tyron put his arms around Collette and held her close. “You alright Lette?” 169 “Not really, but I’m getting there.” Collette said as she snuggled closer to Tyron. 170 “Lette, I know you have a lot on your mind, but we need to talk about what’s happening between us. Why don’t you let Talita drive your car home and you ride with me.” 171 Collette looked at Tyron, she really wanted to take him up on that offer, but she needed to think. “I know we need to talk, but I need a little time to get my thoughts together.” 172 “Okay, why don’t you take your girls home and call me later, we’ll take it from there.” 173 “Okay, Ty, I’ll talk to you later.” Tyron looked Collette in the eyes, willing her to feel the love he has for her. Tyron kissed Collette softly on the forehead. “Remember Lette, no matter what happens, I love you and I always have. I’m here for you, however you want me to be. Good night Sorors.” Tyron walked away thinking that he really need to call his boy Dexter.174 Talita and Shauna watched Tyron walk away and then looked at Collette. “Lette, girl are you crazy, you got to be. How you gone let that fine piece of chocolate get away?” Shauna asked.175 “This is rare, but I agree with Shauna.” Talita said “Lette, what you and Tyron have is real and precious. Don’t let Jason ruin this for you.” 176 Collette looked at her friends and Sorrors and began to cry. They had been through so much together. They had even joined the sorority at the same time. 177 “Give me a break guys. I love Jason or at least I though I did and I just walked away from 6 years of a relationship. I can’t forget him that easily. No Shauna, before you get riled up, I’m not going back to him. Stacy won, she proved her point. She is his wife and I’m just the other woman. It doesn’t matter if he says he loves me or not, he married her. He had a choice and he choose her. I was fooling myself into believing that things were different. That I really meant something to him. I was blind, but now I see the truth and him for what he truly is. I’m glad this happened tonight. It hurts, but I’m free.” 178 “Lette I know this hurts because Jason was your first love, but you did the right thing. You deserve so much more than he was able to give you.” Talita said handing Collette a tissue to clean her face. 179 “I know I did Lita. And I don’t regret my decision, but it still hurts.” 180 “This is so touching.” Shauna said, “but what are you going to do about Tyron? That kiss or shall I say those kisses were something else and I didn’t see you pushing him away, and I know that it wasn’t staged. You were both into it.” 181 “You’re right Shauna, that kiss was definitely something else. Who knew Tyron had that much skill and I do mean awesome with a capital A, but Tyron is my friend. I don’t want to turn to him on the rebound and end up hurting him.” 182 Talita looked and Collette and started smiling. “Girl, I don’t think what you and Tyron have is a rebound. There has been something special between you and Tyron for a long time. You guys would have been together a long time ago if you weren’t so stubborn. I personally think Tyron is your soul-mate.”183 “Me too.” Shauna said. “Think about it Lette, you and Tyron share everything and do everything together. Whenever you’re upset, who do you turn to? Tyron.” 184 “Oh my God.” Talita said, “Shauna is on a roll tonight. Again, I agree with what she said.” 185 Shauna looked at Talita and rolled her eyes. “Forget you Lita, but seriously Lette, you said yourself that every time you need Tyron, he comes through for you. How many people are that dependable, especially for a girl who is just a friend.” “Heck Lette.” Shauna said, “You spend more time at his place than you do at yours.” 186 “Look Lette, I know we can’t tell you what to do,” Talita said, “but face it. Every major even in your life, Tyron has been there, not Jason. Jason always had an excuse why he couldn’t be there. I can’t even count the times I’ve heard you say, I can’t wait to tell Tyron about this.” 187 “Face it girl," Shauna said, "you got it bad and don’t even know it.”188 “Lette Tyron is the one, in your heart, you know that.” Talita said. 189 “I know that there is something special between Tyron and me, but we’ve been friends for so long. I just don’t want to mess that up. I mean what if I hook up with Tyron and then get weak and go back to Jason like I always do?” 190 Shauna looked at Collette without the slightest hint of a smile said, “I’ll kick your butt myself if you did something that crazy.” 191 “I’d probably have you committed cause that would be insane,” Talita said.192 “Let me ask you a question,” Talita said, 193 “Okay, shoot.” 194 “In the past 6 years that you have been with Jason, have you ever come face to face with Stacy and the reality of Jason being married? No you haven’t, but tonight he basically stood in your face and told you in not so many words that if he wanted to lay Stacy down in the middle of the dance floor and make love to her right there with you standing next to them holding Stacy’s legs, there is nothing you can do or say because she is his wife. He put you in your place and you will always be in that place if you go back to him after this. Is that what you want?” 195 “No Lita that is not what I want.” 196 “Okay, now let’s look at it this way; you worked your behind off to help him establish J&S Industries. You even invested your hard earned savings in his company and when he made a big profit and got a major contract, he moved Stacy and her children into a 35000 square foot home, a home that you helped him be able to afford. Now, what did he do for you?” 197 Collette, now angry again answered, “nothing but bought me a dozen long stem roses, took me to an expensive restaurant to celebrate then spent the night making love to me and crawled home to his wife the next morning. I can’t believe I allowed him to treat me that cheaply. He said that he wanted to buy me a house, but he had to work out the details so that Stacy wouldn’t find out about it. I should have went off on him then, but I was caught up in the moment. Its okay for me to invest in the business, work for the business, but not benefit from the success. Oh my God, how could I have been so stupid” 198 “You know Lette,” Talita said. “Everything Jason has, he owes to you and he repays you by breaking his vow to you and taking something that was special to you and defiled it. Jason claims he loves you, but he goes and marries Stacy. Even after that, he claims that you are number one in his life, but he brings Stacy to a place that he knows you are going to be and didn’t even consider your feelings. He saw you sitting there about to fall apart, yet he remained next to Stacy like you didn’t exist and then to top it off, he got up and danced off of a song that had a special meaning for the two of you and he justified it all by saying that she is his wife. Lette, is that what you want? Do you want to spend the rest of your life sitting on the sidelines watching him and Stacy have more children? What about when you want children? Are your children going to have to settle for a part time father because his children with his wife have to come first?” 199 “I know you guys are right. I should have walked away a long time ago, but I loved him and I guess love is blind, crazy and stupid.” Collette said with tears rolling down her face. Collette reached for another tissue as her cell phone began to ring. 200 “That must be Tyron checking on you.” Talita said with a smile. 201 “Let me look” Collette said looking down at her phone. “Speak of the devil, its Jason.” 202 “Hello” Collette said into the phone, while holding her finger to her mouth so that her friends would be quiet. 203 “How you doing Collette?” Jason asked. “How do you think I’m doing? You just disrespected me in front of all of our friends, how would you be doing?” Collette asked angrily. 204 “You’re not being fair Collette.” 205 “Not being fair. Excuse me. No you didn’t go there. Was it fair for you to bring her where you knew I would be? Was it fair for you to be grinding up on her in front of me to the same song your tired behind play every time we made love, correction, have sex? Huh Jason, was that fair?” Collette yelled into the phone. 206 “But Collette she is my wife, what was I supposed to do?” Jason asked now sounding a little desperate. 207 “You were supposed to be a man of your word. There are several clubs around here but you walked her into that one and pretended not to know me." Collette said.208 "I'm so sorry Collette. I made a mistake. Please don't give up on us. I need you. I love you." 209 "No Jason, you don’t love me. You may need me, but you don’t love me, you love the fact that I have loved you unconditionally for the past 6 years. You love that you’ve had two women who adored you and made no demands. The sad thing is that apart of me still loves you Jason." 210 Shauna and Talita both rolled their eyes upwards and through up their hands. 211 "That's why this is so hard, but hard or not, I have to walk away from you now. There is no more us and truthfully, there has not been an us since you married Stacy." 212 "Please Collette, lets meet and talk about this face-to-face, just you and me." Jason begged. 213 "Okay Jason, you say you want to meet and talk then meet me at my place in 30 minutes and we'll talk." 214 "You know I can't do that Collette." 215 “Exactly Jason," Collette said, "You can't do that. You will never be able to be there when I need or want you and I'm tired of living off crumbs cause you have a wife. You know Jason," Collette said thoughtfully, "I almost lost the love of a good man waiting on you and helping you build a life for you and your wife. No more sitting on the sideline for me. I want my own family. It’s over Jason. Do not call me again for any reason. Goodbye Jason. " 216 "Collette wait, don't hang up."217 "What Jason?" Collette asked impatiently. 218 "What do I have to do to get you back and get things back to normal?" Jason asked.219 "By normal, you mean having me and Stacy fawning over you again? There is nothing you can do to make me disrespect myself enough to be the other woman again and settle for less than I deserve, but since I do still love you, Ill through you a bone. if you want to be with me, what you have to do is real simple, get a divorce and be mine, and only mine. If you do that, I'll come back to you. But understand Jason, I won't settle for anything less. I will not be the other woman, not now; not ever again."220 Jason got quiet. Collette knew that he was not prepared to leave Stacy. 221 "Just like I thought. Goodbye Jason. I wish you, Stacy and the kids well. I’ll be by to pick up my things from the office on Monday and will transfer the books to your secretary. I also expect you to have a check drawn up to repay me for the loan I made to you, don’t worry, I won’t charge you interest and I know you can afford to pay me back. After that, we have nothing to say to each other." Collette hung up the phone before Jason could say another word.222 "I am so proud of you Lette." Talita said. 223 "Yeah," Shauna said, "You did good, had me scared for a minute, but you did good." 224 "Thanks. You guys are right, I do deserve better and Tyron is better. Now let me get rid of you guys and go find my sexy Sigma Man" 225 "I here you Soror, and he is a real Sexy Sigma Man too." Shauna said laughingly. 226 "Alright Shauna, go find your own sexy Sigma, that one is mine." Collette said laughing at Shauna's shocked expression until she realized that Collette was joking.227 Tyron just drove around aimlessly thinking. He had taken Dexter’s advice and told Collette how he felt. The kiss that they shared had been awesome. He just hoped that he didn’t run her away. Tyron was so caught up in his thoughts; he almost didn’t hear his phone ringing. 228 “Hello.” Tyron said into the phone.229 “Hey man, where are you?” Dexter asked. “I’ve been by your place looking for you.”230 “Man, I just been driving around thinking.” 231 “More like driving around panicking.” Dexter said. 232 “Dex man, I really love her, I just hope I didn’t push her away.” 233 “Listen Tyron; I know that while you guys were dancing, you were so caught up in the moment that you didn’t notice the way she was looking at you. The girl loves you. I don’t know what it was that you whispered in her ears before that kiss, but girlfriend got all glossy-eyed and looked like she was trying to crawl inside of your skin just to get closer to you. A girl does not react that way to a guy unless she feels something. And that kiss, it was real. Everyone noticed. Did you hear people clapping in the background? That how real that kiss was. Man why do you think Jason started tripping in front of his wife, he knows that Collette had to feel something for you to kiss you like that. Seriously man, don’t worry, she’ll come to you.” 234 “You really thing so?” 235 “I know so, now stop running and go home so that fine Soror can find you.” 236 “Thanks Dex. You always come through for a brother.” Tyron said. 237 “No prob. Ty, that what frats are for. Just remember, I get to be the best man at the wedding.” 238 “Most definitely, Dex, most definitely.”239 “Later.” 240 “Later.”241 Tyron did a U-turn right there in the middle of the road. He was now driving with a smile. Dex was right; Collette did snuggle closer when he mentioned their first and only time together. That had to mean something. Collette had feelings for him and she expressed that to him, especially when she returned his kiss, not once but twice. Tyron was definitely not going to let this opportunity pass him by. After all, Success if just “Preparation meeting Opportunity." And he is prepared to make Collette his forever. He just had to remember to take things slowly and give her a chance to get Jason out of her system.242 Just as Collette was pulling up in front of Shauna and Talita’s apartment, her phone began to ring. Looking at the caller ID, Collette frowned.243 “I thought I told you not to call again.” Collette said angrily into the phone. 244 “No Collette, you must have been talking to my husband.” Stacy answered smiling to herself because her plan had worked. "You mean our husband don't you? What is it that you want Stacy?” Collette asked sarcastically. 245 “Oh no she didn’t.’ Shauna said in the background. “She must be looking for a beat down.” Shauna finished. 246 “I just wanted to know where we stand.” Stacy said. 247 “You wanna know what?” Collette asked. 248 “Where we stand.” Stacy repeated. 249 “Look Stacy, I’m not in the mood for this, between you and your husband calling me all night, but I will say this. You proved your point and as far as I am concerned, you have Jason to yourself; for now anyway.” 250 “For now?” Stacy asked, her voice trembling a little. “What do you mean by that?” 251 “Not so confident now are you. But don't worry. I'm done." Collette said. But let me break it down for you, for more than 6 years Jason had the both of us fawning all over him, and he was perfectly happy with that arrangement. I mean why shouldn’t he be. He had two women catering to his every need. He actually asked me what would it take to get things back to normal. By normal he meant having the two of us catering to him again.” 252 “And what did you tell him?” Stacy asked. Her voice still trembling. 253 “I told him that the only thing that will make me come back to him is a divorce.” Collette said. 254 “A divorce!” Stacy exclaimed. 255 “Yep Stacy, a divorce and nothing short of that.” 256 “What, what did he say?” Stacy stammered.257 “Don’t worry Stacy, You might put up with sharing your husband for three years, but I want ever share my man again, so that offer was taken off the table. But I do have to thank you."258 "Thank me for what?" Stacy asked.259 "Thanks to you, I found Tyron, a good and faithful man. So Like I told your husband, don’t contact me again for any reason or the next time I won’t be so nice and I definitely won’t try to keep Tyron from getting to Jason or doing to you what I should have done 6 years ago. Understand?” Collette disconnected the line without waiting for a reply. 260 “I have got to get that number changed.” Collette said to her friends. 261 “I think you handle that well.” Talita said. 262 “You’re to nice Collette.” Shauna said. “I would have told that sister off.” 263 “We know.” Talita and Collette said in unison. 264 “But seriously Shauna, my beef is with Jason, not her. She was done just as wrong as I was. At least I have Tyron now. She is choosing to stay with him. You know he’ll be cheating again in no time. I feel sorry for her. Now get out of my vehicle so I can go find my baby.” 265 “Okay, we’re getting out. Gee, it took you a minute to open your eyes, but now you are running with it.” Shauna said with a smile. 266 “But seriously Soror, I’m really glad that you finally realized that Jason was bad news and that Tyron is the one.” 267 “Wow.” Talita said looking at her watch. “It’s only 10:00. Shauna I bet this is the first time you’ve come in this early… by yourself any way.” Talita teased. 268 “You guys are so bad. I love you guys. I’ll see ya’ll tomorrow. Don’t worry; I’ll give you a play by play. Goodnight Sorors.” Collette said as she pulled off.269 Collette picked up her phone and dialed Tyron’s number. He answered it on the first ring. 270 “Hello.”271 “Hi Ty.” 272 “Hi Lette, how are you holding up?” Tyron asked concerned. 273 “Better than expected actually.” Collette answered. “Tyron we have a lot to discuss. Do you want to meet me at my place or should I come to yours?” 274 “Since I’m already at home, why don’t you come here. Do you want me to fix us something to snack on?” 275 “No thank you.” Collette said. “I don’t think my stomach can take it tonight. I’ll see you in about ten minutes.” 276 “Okay Lette, I’ll be waiting for you.” Tyron said and hung up the phone with a smile. Dexter was right, Collette is coming to him.277 Collette couldn’t believe that she was nervous about going to Tyron’s house. She has been there a thousand times, but she had to admit that this time would be different. This time her and Tyron will be discussing their future; one she didn’t think could ever exist for her.278 Collette arrived at Tyron’s house and sat in her vehicle for a couple of minute to compose herself, and said a short prayer. “Lord help me to say the things that need to be said and to accept the things said to me and Lord, if it is your will, help us to find our way to each other. In Jesus name, Amen.” “Well, here goes everything,” Collette said as she got out of the car. 279 Collette walked to Tyron’s door and knocked. Tyron opened it with the first knock. Collette looked at Tyron standing there and realized that he was just as nervous as she was. Collette walked into Tyron’s waiting arms. “This feels so right,” Tyron thought to himself.280 Collette didn’t realize how badly she needed a hug until she felt Tyron’s arms closing around her. This was like coming home, Collette thought. 281 “Hi,” Tyron said smiling. 282 “Hi yourself,” Collette answered. 283 “Come on in Lette. Make yourself comfortable. I got a feeling this is going to be a long night. Would you like something to eat or drink” 284 Collette smiled and nodded as she walked past Tyron, thinking how fine he looked in those jeans. “Umm, that brother can wear a pair of jeans,” Collette thought. “Okay, Lette, get your mind off of Tyron’s anatomy and back on the issue at hand.” Collette said to herself.285 “No thank you Tyron, I don’t think I can handle having anything on my stomach right now.”286 Tyron watched Collette walk into his living room thinking how good she looked sitting on his couch. It’s almost like his furniture was made especially for her to sit on it. After all she choose every piece of furniture in his house down to the bed in the master bedroom. Now why did he have to mention bed? Okay Tyron, stay focused.287 “Lette, I know this is an awkward moment, so before we get started let me say that I love you and I always have, but no matter what, you and I are friends first. You have to know that I would never do anything to jeopardize our friendship and I will respect whatever decision you make.”288 “Tyron, you have always been there for me whenever I needed you. You have been my best friend. I really appreciate all that you have been to me.”289 “I appreciate your appreciation Lette, although I must admit that gratitude is not necessarily the emotion I want from you at this time.” 290 “I know Tyron and trust me, gratitude is not all I feel for you. We’ve always been more than friends and deep down; I’ve always known that. I was just too afraid of loosing you as a friend to admit it. Tyron, can I be honest with you?”291 “I wouldn’t have it any other way Lette.” 292 “Okay,” Collette took a deep breath. “Ty, I do care a lot for you, more than I ever wanted to admit to you or myself, but I also must be honest with you about Jason. I do have some feelings for him. You can’t be with someone as long as I have been with him and not feel anything. If tonight had not happened, I would probably still be with Jason. I’m glad tonight happened because it gave me the opportunity to express my true feelings for you, but I don’t want to lead you on in any way or be with you on the rebound. I care to much about you to purposely hurt you.” 293 Tyron didn’t know what to think. Collette admitted that she cares about him, but where does all of this leave them.294 “Lette, I hear what you are saying, so I must ask, where do we go from here?” 295 “Well Ty, I would really like to see where this is going and I know that I definitely what to be more than friends, but I’m scared. I don’t want to hurt you or jeopardize our friendship in anyway, but I am willing to try. Let’s just take things one day at a time.”296 “Okay Lette, I’ve waited this long, I can wait a little longer. I’m not going anywhere. Remember, we are friends first and I never want that to change so I have to ask, how do you really feel about Jason, I noticed that you said you have feelings for him, but you didn’t say that you are in love with him.”297 “To be honest with you Ty, I don’t think it was ever love; not real love anyway, it was more of the fact that he had been my boyfriend for so long and I was used to him. Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know. I mean I care about him, but I realized tonight that those feelings are not as strong as I thought they were.”298 “Is it really over between you and him? I mean, I love you Lette and I want more than anything to be the one responsible for all your future joy, but if you feel that there is still a chance for you and Jason to be together, please be honest with me, because I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think our friendship would survive that kind of let down. What I mean by that is if we pursue a relationship and then you decide to work things out with Jason, my feelings for you will not allow me to just be your friend, but if you tell me now that its not over between you and him, I’ll back off and preserve our friendship.”299 Collette looked into Tyron’s eyes and saw the struggle within him. He had a right to be cautious. She had passed up several relationships to be with Jason. She would just have to show Tyron that he was the one for her. Collette walked over to Tyron and gave him a soft kiss. 300 “Tyron, I know my tract record where Jason is concerned has not been a good one, but I promise you, I would never do that to you. You mean too much to me. It is over between Jason and me and I told him and Stacy that tonight. I am not sure of a lot of things right now, but one thing I do know is that there is nothing left for Jason and me. I’ve given Jason too much of my time as it is and I am tired of sitting on the sidelines. I want more out of life then to be the other woman, Ty, I do know that I want a life with you. I mean, I know that I want to see where things go with us. I know the transition from being best friends to lovers will take some time, but I am willing to put the time in. Just be patient with me because I am scared. I don't want to hurt you and I don't want to be hurt either."301 "Now, if you’re satisfied with that answer, I’ll take some of that food you offered earlier, my stomach is talking to me and it ain’t nothing nice right now. I guess being with you has brought my appetite back and it is back with a vengeance.” 302 Tyron laughed and got up and walked to the kitchen. He looked back at Collette, “why you still sitting there? You got shotgun. Come on in this kitchen girl.” 303 Collette laughed as she got up and walked in the kitchen to help Tyron fix them a quick snack. Collette couldn’t resist walking up to him and putting her arms around him as he prepared food for them. 304 Tyron turned around to face Collette and returned her hug. She felt so nice in his arms. Tyron looked into Collette’s eyes and saw something he had not seen before, well only once before. Tyron knew exactly how she felt because all he wanted to do right then was make love to her slowly for the rest of the night, but he didn’t want to rush her. 305 Collette looked at Tyron hoping that he would kiss her again the way he did on the dance floor. As if he could read her mind, Tyron lowered his head and gave Collette what she wanted. The kiss started soft and then deepen until they were both out of control. Kissing, touching, wanting more. After a moment, Tyron slowly stepped back and put a little distance between them. Collette looked at Tyron shocked, surprised, then hurt entered her eyes. Tyron saw her eyes and the look of hurt. 306 “Baby, you do know that I want more then anything to make love to you right now, don’t you?”307 “Then why did you stop?” 308 “Collette, you have just had a very emotional night and I don’t want to take advantage of you. As much as I want you, I don’t think we should not rush into a physical relationship right now. We’ve been friends for a long time, but we are just now exploring something more. Lets take things slow and develop our relationship before we become physical, besides when I make love to you again, it will be with no questions or regrets the next day.” 309 Collette looked at Tyron and at that moment her heart grow with love for him. He is so sweet and always thinking about her. He could have taken her to bed tonight, but he is such a gentleman that he would rather wait for the right time. Jason would not have cared about how she would be feeling the next day, he would have taken what he could get at that moment and moved on. 310 “Tyron, you are so special, do you know that? Anyone else would have taken advantage of the situation, but then you wouldn’t be you if you did that.” 311 Tyron kissed Collette once more on the lips and returned to the food. “Now lets get some food in you so your stomach can stop talking to you.” Tyron said with a smile.312 |
