Samantha's POV
My mind continued to buzz with heavy thoughts as my eyes fell from the ceiling to their naked bodies that were currently wrapped soulfully into mine. Our embraced figures had me faced with a feeling of peace I had never experienced, one that was solely created by their comforting presence that impacted me even in their moments of slumber.
As seconds passed my sense of logic began to glare at the silence that the early morning had awarded to my usual busy ears, since it did nothing but weighed down my body with things that were better forgotten.
I was caught between laying here to battle with my unwanted thoughts and going to work early to gift myself with a ready-made distraction.

Samantha's POVThe sound of their muffled conversation echoed around the room as the water continued to grace the recently washed dishes, ridding them of all signs of soap. This current task was one I had always appreciated since it allowed a sense of peace to settle inside of me for reasons I had yet to uncover."Sam," I heard Mesi call out as I lifted my hand placing the plates in the dish drainer that was situated on my right."Yeah," I answered softly as my body battled with lingering exhaustion despite their well-acquainted friendship with each other, and I couldn't help but to release the yawn that pressed against the barriers that were lips."Wasn't there a TV here?" She inquired as I l turned the handle, which in return halted the pouring water from the faucet."Yeah, it's in the bedroom," I explained as I lifted the kitchen towel drying my hands."You wanna watch something?" I questioned immediately after."Y

The moment we drifted things became clear, feelings defined themselves, and the nature of what I really felt came out of hiding, it was as if the loss of constant communication and intimate moments suppressed my heart enough for my logic to step in and reveal that I at the age of 28 had never felt actual LOVE, but I have felt LUST, I have been OBSESSED, I have been INFATUATED.
Mesi's POVI took another sip of my beer as Spain continued to tell me about his plans for the building he had recently purchased and I listened intently since he and Jazmine were my mentors when it came to shit like this. If I was being completely honest with myself, I wouldn't be the person I was today if they hadn't been generous enough to invest in my business idea."Spain can you help me with something?" Britt called out from the kitchen entrance and he replied with a small yes before dismissing himself, leaving me to enjoy my own company.I took the time to enjoy the sweet sound of the old RnB playing through the speakers, the music bringing a sense of nostalgia throughout me as my mind began to reminisce."Mesi
Mesi's POV"So how did you and Jazmine become friends?" she asked as we sat down on the small bench that faced the house, the cool breeze rushing past us masking the heat the sun offered on a daily."She actually gave me the capital to start my app,""Your app?" she asked, surprise and curiosity hidden in her voice."Melanated," I informed."The black social media app?" she spoke in a questioning tone and I nodded."That's very impressive," she complimented and I released a thankful smile."So what do you do for a living?" I questioned before taking down a mouthful
Destiny's POVThe sun shined through the window behind me gazing at the screen of my laptop and I sighed tilting the device slightly disposing of the intrusive glare as I leaned back in the chair hating the tension in my body that my everyday responsibilities had caused.I was silently counting down the seconds until I could leave as a yawn left my exhausted body, if it was a regular day I would have already been home enjoying my second glass of wine while my roommate Aliyah gathered the events of her day to gift to me but since I had arrived late today I was left to catch up.I had decided to place half of the blame on Mesi whose addictive and interesting conversation caused time to slip away, and the other half on me who sat in the chair seemingly compelled by
Mesi's POVI cleared my throat as I stepped onto the stage, quieting the internal battle between my insecurities and confidence as nervousness arrived into my system leaving my palms to sweat.My hands moved to the mic bringing it to my height before I greeted the crowd, the multiple responses calming my rushing anxiety slightly."My piece tonight is called Forbidden Rose," I announced wishing I had placed a drop of liquor in my system before coming on stage."I watch you from afar, just wishing on a star that you will greet my arms. They tell me it's wrong that roses together isn't normal, that my love for you is immoral. 'Love daisies' they plead but I would rather watch you flow in the breeze, I would prefer to lov
