too fast with Shontell. I think you are doing too much already when it comes to her. You don’t even know her, man.”
    Nico stood there for a minute trying to understand Dennis’ comments before he addressed him. “Doing too much? I am curious about what you think I am doing. I thought our conversation was clear earlier. Stop confusing my wanting a friendship with Shontell with the women you have come across. This doesn’t even come close…and if we have to discuss this again, I won’t be as nice,” Nico told him. He began to walk away once again. He didn’t even bother to turn around when he heard Dennis calling after him. He stared Dennis down as the doors closed. Nico wondered why Dennis cared so much about him talking to Shontell. Dennis was being a little extra intense, and even with his crazy ways, it was out of his character. He needed to find out what was going on. But for the moment, his immediate concern was with Shontell. Walking down the long hallway, he reached her door and knocked.
     
     

Dennis
     
    Dennis turned around as John walked over to where he was. “Man, what was that all about?” he asked him softly. He was the only one who had noticed the heated conversation between him and Nico. Dennis hesitated because he knew that the guys often got on him about his critical ways. When he still didn’t say anything, John gave him a look that told him to tread lightly. He didn’t want this to be an issue with him and Nico. Dennis was a mother hen, and they all knew it. He was the worst of them all when it came to the ladies. John was always being the peacemaker, so he turned back to Dennis to give him a little warning.
    “Dennis, if this is about what I think it is…whatever Nico told you…you may want to take heed. It’s a battle you don’t want to fight. Nico hasn’t dated a woman in years, and it doesn’t matter if Tina so happened to be here. If he is showing interest in Shontell, let him. You don’t have a right or a reason to try and stop him from getting to know her,” he told him, patting him on the shoulder.
    John left him there with his thoughts.
    “Humph, if you knew what I know,” Dennis mumbled, putting his hands in his pockets. He was glad that no one heard him. 
    Dennis wanted to be mad, but he couldn’t. He walked over to the table and sat back down, trying to pay attention to what was going on around him. Everyone was making plans for the evening. Dennis knew how much they were a unit. They were more than just a group. They have become more like brothers than lifelong friends. Maybe he was wrong about them, but he just couldn’t help it. He just had a gut feeling. He decided to stop focusing on it and joined the others in talking. They made plans for the rest of the day, but he watched the elevator doors in spite of himself.

Shontell
     
    Shontell pulled her sweater from the back of the chair and put it around her shoulders. It was a nice afternoon, but the wind from the water was making her feel chilled. She could hear people talking, and she was getting a little restless. She didn’t know what time it was. Sighing, she wondered if she should call Sandy. Sometimes she just needed to hear a voice of reason. She hated that Jesse took away her trust because this was so unlike her character; she always gave people the benefit of the doubt. She made up her mind to call Sandy. Standing up, Shontell’s sweater fell to the floor. She reached down and picked it up. She was about to turn around when she was startled by someone touching her shoulder.
    “How…how did you get in here?” she asked Nico, surprised to see him standing there.
    “You left the door slightly open. Guess you didn’t close it all the way. I knocked, but you didn’t answer. I apologize for scaring you.”
    She twisted her hair, which was one of the bad habits she used to overcome her shyness. Realizing what she was doing, she stopped. 
    “I saw you head
