him.
     
    “Calm down. I was tryin to help you out.”
     
    “Yeah, well, you helped.”
     
    Koran wasn’t a fool. He was a man and a man knew when his woman was being hit on. A part of him couldn’t blame O. If he wasn’t with Whitney he would’ve tried to get on her, too. She was a bad girl. Any man would die to have her, but Whitney was his and only his. If O kept it up he would have to learn that the hard way.
     
    “Koran,” Whitney shouted, getting his attention.
     
    “What’s up, babe?”
     
    “I know you’re not trippin’ off that.”
     
    “Man please, I’m good,” he waved her off. “But hurry up and finish your drink. I’m ready to go.”
     
    Five minutes later they left the bar. Outside, Whitney and Koran stood face-to-face, snuggled in each other’s arms. There were so many things Koran wanted to say as he took a glimpse into her buttery brown eyes. Whitney was impeccable. There was still so much about her that hadn’t been touched, yet so much that he wanted to explore. Fucking around with a nigga like him would only corrupt her life. Yet and still, she was the one he wanted to confess all of his sins to.
     
    “You gon’ get a room wit me?” He kissed her lips softly as his cell phone began to vibrate again.
     
    “I don’t know, Koran.” Whitney released her lips from his and observed the oncoming traffic.
     
    “What I tell you about that?” He turned her face and made her look at him. “I’m right here. Stop running away from me.”
     
    “I’m not running.”
     
    “Yes you are. You been running for the past eight years, but I ain’t letting you get away so easy this time.”
     
    “But what if I told you I’m afraid?”
     
    “Don’t be. I got you, ma. I ain’t going nowhere.” Koran examined her face while running his hand through her hair.
     
    Pleased to be in his presence, Whitney stood quiet for a moment. Everything seemed to be perfect. The moon was clearer and more visible than ever. Millions of stars twinkled, cramming the sky. A slight but tranquil breeze filled the air, whizzing over their bodies. Whitney wanted nothing more than to give in to Koran’s request, but the memories of what they once shared didn’t outweigh her current circumstances. This has to end, Whitney thought while closing her eyes. You can’t hurt him again, her conscious reminded her as he massaged her scalp with his fingertips.
     
    Walk away now while you still can. But it was too late. Whitney had already fallen victim to his touch. Koran’s mouth and tongue were doing things to her neck that should’ve been illegal in all fifty states. In a matter of seconds she’d become submerged in his kisses. And, yes, they should take their time before jumping back into things, but nothing had changed. Koran still had a way of getting what he wanted without using force. She was his and he was hers. But Whitney was determined not to fall prey to his sly grin and charming ways.
     
    “It’s time for me to go home.” She gathered her composure.
     
    “C’mon, ma, come chill wit me.”
     
    “Nah, I gotta get up in the morning. I’ma call you though.” Whitney quickly pecked his cheek before getting in the car.
     
    Disappointed, Koran inhaled deeply so he wouldn’t get mad.
     
    “A’ight, shorty, hit me up tomorrow.” He closed her door.
     
    “I will.”
     
    Finding Forever
     
    It was six in the morning when Koran tiptoed into the house smelling like Patron. Drunk and high weren’t the words to describe how he felt. Koran felt like he was floating on air and, although he was tired as hell, he was determined not to pass out before grabbing something to eat. He was almost sure there was some leftover Lo Mein in the refrigerator. Flicking the kitchen light on he found Trina sitting at the table with her legs crossed. From the look on her face he could tell she was pissed, but all of that was beside the point. Koran wanted to know why the fuck she was up in his
