Darien looked at Trevonne coldly and said “ Tre did you lose your last brain cell on the dance floor or some shit? Yea I been steady fuckin you for
ten months”
He said laughing.” You keep saying that like you keeping track of a “relationship or some shit” Like we a damn couple! Bitch I been fuckin three other females besides you! I mean while I was still with Jazzlyn I was just fucking you...shit I do have some standards! I aint gonna risk ever bringing no shit back to my baby Jazzlyn...but even with you for 8

months I made you top me off with head more than I ever fucked you! When I did break down and give your begging ass some dick I always covered my shit up.
Always
. You can't even try to deny it.”

“These last few months I haven't been with Jazzlyn, did you really think I was just dealing with you? You got the wrong one bitch!” he said laughing.

Jazzlyn was speechless. I'll deal with Trevonnes traitorous ass later because right now I think she's getting exactly what she deserves. Fuck that bitch,she can let Darien drive her car home for her . Let me see if I can find Tyson real fast before he leaves so I can get away from both of their crazy asses.

Jazzlyn quickly went back down the stairs and out to the parking lot to find Tyson before he took off. She spotted him about to cross the street and cal ed his name “ Tyson!” Jazzlyn yelled “Tyson!” he turned around and spotted her coming towards him and stopped.

“ What's up? Please don't tel me ol boy is in there acting up with you again? Tyson asked his face growing hard “ I promise you I aint in the mood.” Tyson said.

“ No. Can I please ride home with you? Jazzlyn asked softly “ What about your friend?” Tyson asked

“ She'l be OK” Jazzlyn said quickly.

Tyson gave her a quick side look but thought it best not to ask any questions. If and when she wanted to talk to him about it she would. Though in the back of his mind he thought to himself, regardless I do plan to let her know about her “best friend”. The last thing I need is for me to try to build something with her and I'm already keeping secrets from her. All that's going to do is backfire on me when shit does hit the fan he thought to himself.

Tyson pul ed into the parking lot of the complex when Jazzlyn finally spoke after riding in silence the entire ride home.” I don't have a best friend anymore.” Jazzlyn said tears running down her face. Tyson sighed,shit! He thought.

“So she went ahead and told you she was sleeping with him huh?” Tyson asked.

“ How did you know?” Jazzlyn asked.

“Remember when you went outside to talk to him? Home girl started throwing the shots back! Got pissed because he still sweating you and just started running her mouth. I asked her to make sure she knew what she was saying but I think it's true, that woman aint gonna say all that for nothing. Crying and acting a damn fool.” Tyson said. “ The shits fucked up they both dead ass wrong,that's actual y why I asked you just to leave and ride with me in the first place so you wouldn't be sitting there with her phony ass.” Tyson said shaking his head. “ She didn't tell me.” Jazzlyn said stil crying “ When I went to go find her to leave I went upstairs and overheard them talking, Tyson I'm so hurt right know I can't even explain it .I feel like my heart is breaking." Jazzlyn said really breaking down.” It's not even about him!” Jazzlyn managed to say “ I have two brothers,Trevonnes like the sister I never had. We've been friends since we were smal kids” she said wiping her eyes.” Why would she do this to me? I don't understand this shit at all. But I'm going to get some answers you can bet on that.” she said .

“ Come on,let's just go inside and get relaxed. With al that went down tonight if your up and want to come over later,you're more than welcome to. If not I more than understand a lot of shit went down tonight so we can get together another night.” Tyson said.

They both got out of the car and started walking into the building neither saying a word. As they stood in front of Jazzlyns door Tyson grabbed both her hands and looked at her. Even though she'd been crying, makeup a mess she stil looked beautiful to him.

As fucked up as this guy Darien was he understood one thing. If Jazzlyn was his he wouldn't let her go either.

“ Look if you need me I'm right there OK? It's Friday ,I'll be up late so if you need me I'm there. That was some messed up shit they did to you.” Tyson said touching her face as she started to cry again “ But you already know you're better than the both of them put together OK ? I know you mad and a 101 other things right now but don't let it fuck with you too long . You deserve a better friend …and a better man.” Tyson said as he leaned down and gave her a tight hug.” Bye. We'l talk later.” Tyson said as he left and walked to his door.

Jazzlyn came inside wanting to wash the entire night away. After a long hot shower to relax herself,Jazzlyn turned on the T.V. And channel surfed nothing being able to take her mind off of the what she'd found out at Zooms. Murderous thoughts were running through her head . The funny thing is Jazzlyn thought I'm not even surprised about Dariens trifling ass, what has me messed up is Trevonne! I trusted her with my life.

Thought I could trust her with anything and all the times I talked to her, cried to her saying something wasn't right, there she was listening knowing she had a part in how messed up things were? I aint letting her get away with this shit by a long shot. Jazzlyns thoughts turned to the only highlight of the evening which was Tyson. I wonder if he's still up,it's only 2am.Hell if all that mess hadn't went down we'd stil be at the club!

Jazzlyn thought. I wish I had his number to cal first but he did say I had an open invitation and I want my mind off everything but what I want right now Jazzlyn thought to herself as she got up grabbed her house keys and walked out of the door.

New Connections

Tyson heard a soft knock on the door and went to see who it was,he knew who he wanted it to be and when he looked through the peep hole he smiled to see Jazzlyn standing there. “ Hey “ Tyson said “ Come on in, couldn't sleep huh?” Tyson asked.

“ No I couldn't so since you said I had an open invitation, I decided to take you up on it.” Jazzlyn said.

Jazzlyn looked around and laughed “ Your behind wasn't lying! You definitely need a woman’s touch up in here! Typical man style I see.” Jazzlyn said laughing.

“ It aint that bad is it?” Tyson said looking around. Tyson had a nice dark brown leather sectional , a huge flat screen T.V. Mounted on the wall and about three different game systems surrounding it. Stereo system and a nice dining table.” Look, I told you I haven't had time! I do need a woman’s touch up in here. So anytime you want to lend your talents go for it.” Tyson said laughing. “Remember I told you my mom is breaking her neck trying to get over here and do it.”

“ Yes I remember you telling me” Jazzlyn said smiling.

They sat down on the couch and talked for awhile before Tyson brought up the subject of what happened earlier.” So are you going to be OK with everything?”Tyson asked.” You already ended it with...what's his name again?” Tyson asked.

“ Darien” Jazzlyn said.

“Yea Darien, but you and your girl are going to have to talk at some point you know.

Trust me when I say I know about having to confront bul shit. But it sounds like y'all been friends too long to just try to just walk away without confronting her. Just do it when you're ready.” Tyson advised.

“ Yea like I said, they don't even know heard” Jazzlyn said.” She's already sent me a text awhile ago when she was looking for me in the club. I just told her I felt sick all of a sudden and looked around for her but didn't see her and you took me home. I'l deal with al that later.” Jazzlyn said.

“So let me ask you something Jazzlyn, are you totally done with Darien? I mean I would hope you are after what went down tonight but had this al not went down,were you really completely moved on?" Tyson asked.

Jazzlyn laughed “ Tyson you don't beat around the bush do you? You come off like one of those type of people that whatever comes to your mind you just say or ask!”

“ Hel yea. I mean I do have a filter. I'm not just going to say some off the wall shit to anyone, but if you want to know you have to ask. I'm going to be total y honest with you right now Jazzlyn, I want to be all up in your business right now because I like you.” Tyson said

“ See there you go again just coming out with it! Jazzlyn said “ Look, I know damn well I aint the first man to let you know they're interested in you. You're a beautiful woman. I know men come on to you all the time. Live and direct.” Tyson said smiling.

“ I mean they do,but you do it different. Usual y other men just ease up on it, your just like BAM!....I wanna know you,let's do this. “ Jazzlyn said laughing.” I mean I hope I don't sound stupid ,but is this the way white men approach women? Just direct, straight up?” Jazzlyn asked genuinely curious.

Tyson started laughing “ I don't know how al white men approach women. “ Tyson said still laughing” I can only speak for how this one white man does things. Tyson James. Jazzlyn always remember one thing about me if nothing else. I'm a man first. I'm damn sure not perfect and make mistakes like anyone else but I really do try to treat people the way I want to be treated. And with women, I do have two sisters and a mom,so I try to keep that in mind when I'm out here dealing with women. I mean you may not like what I say, but I'm going to be real with you and I'm not a liar.” Tyson said seriously.

“ I think I know the answer but I'l ask anyway, you date black women?” Jazzlyn asked.

“ Jazzlyn I date all women. I aint knocking anyone who only dates a certain type but I find beauty in al women. There are too many other things to worry about and color aint on my checklist.” Tyson said. “ No white guy has ever tried to date you Jazzlyn? Or you just weren't paying attention when they tried?” Tyson asked.

“ Honestly a couple have. When I was younger, but even back in the day I pretty much always have had a steady boyfriend. I've had a few breaks in between but I'm a long term kinda woman.” Jazzlyn said.” What kind of man are you?”

“Are you asking do I date a lot of women? When I'm with someone I'm with them and them only Jazzlyn. Everyone will know without a doubt she's my woman,but with that being said ,they're few and far between. I don't constantly have to be under a woman if that's what you mean. But like I said I am a man. I've dealt with a few women where it's sex. No more no less. But it's always clear.” Tyson said.” If I see feelings are getting involved and I'm not feeling them like that I end it. Like I said before, you may not like what I say,but I'm going to always be honest. I can't stand a liar,so I refuse to be one.” Tyson said.

“ OK Tyson. You're saying everything I want to hear. I just need you to always be real with me. Regardless of if we're friends or want more from each other. With Darien I had already gone through it. Lies,no ambition our relationship had no direction even after four years, and when I broke up with him it wasn't because he cheated on me...I didn't even know about al that until tonight. I'm not trying to say I want al this lined up and perfect and you have to let me know your every move and intention. Just be real with me and don't play any games. Can you do that for me?” Jazzlyn asked.

“ You're new to me in more ways than one if you know what I mean?" Jazzlyn said looking him straight in the eyes.”

I definitely understand where you're coming from.” Tyson said. He'd been in this position before dating African-American women who had never dated outside their race before. Growing up in his family, Tyson knew a lot of times African-American women got a lot of flack from people,black men mainly when they decided to date men of other races. One of his sisters even had a few negative incidents when she dated a Hispanic guy once. Even when black men were openly dating women of other races. Often times overlooking single black women. Hel his best-friend Jevon often times being one of them.

“ OK Tyson we've gotten deep enough tonight...damn or should I say morning?” Jazzlyn said looking at the clock in his kitchen” I'm going to make my way down this hall and let you get some sleep.” Jazzlyn said getting up from the couch and sliding her feet into her slippers.” I really can't thank you enough Tyson for helping me out the way you did tonight, I mean everything. Darien tripping with me,giving me a ride. Just being there period. You didn't have to do all that and I want you to know I real y appreciate it.”Jazzlyn said.

“It's nothing Jazzlyn, I'd do it all over again if you needed me to. So don't give it a second thought.” Tyson said.” I do need something though, if you can help me out?” Tyson said as they were standing by the door.

“ Anything. What do you need?” Jazzlyn asked.

“Can I kiss you?” Tyson asked. Jazzlyn took a step back with her back against the door looking at him. Smiling she said “ Like I said before, straight up no chaser huh Tyson? I really need to get used to that about you!Yes...you can kiss me Tyson.” Jazzlyn said as Tyson leaned down and softly kissed her lips,teasing her mouth so good until Jazzlyn felt like she was starting to melt. Tyson trailed his kisses along her jaw and slowly down her neck. Jazzlyn wrapped her arms around his back and pulled Tyson close just as he was making his way back to her lips where he slowly traced the outline of her lips with his tongue and kissed her so deeply every part of her body was on fire.

Tyson reluctantly ended the kiss with smal ,soft kisses on her mouth and al over her face.

“Thank you” Tyson said “ I've been wanting to do that al night. Not just when you came by tonight,I mean al night. You taste as good as I thought you would.” Tyson whispered leaning down to kiss her lips one last time.

Jazzlyn stood there breathless looking at Tyson “ I don't know what I was expecting Tyson. I know I want it again though,so I think I need to go now before we start something we don't need to...at least not tonight.”
