The car door opened just as she was about to pass it. She jumped back, dropping her purse and some of its contents. She quickly bent down and began to pick things up. "Damn! I know you saw me walking!" She fussed, not bothering to look at the driver of the car who had stepped out. "You could at least help me pick up my stuff," she mumbled, still scrambling around to collect her pencils and pens.

"My bad lil mama. I didn't mean to knock your shit down," said the driver, whose voice was so familiar that Felicia was startled.

She began to tremble and slowly looked up to meet the eyes of the person she hadn't seen in over 7 months. "JAMIE!" She cried and tears started to form.

He smiled a smile that could make any woman melt. "Yea my baby, don't cry. I'm back." He opened his arms and Felicia took a step towards him. "It's okay baby." He reached for her hand.

Felicia took a step forward and when his hand reached for hers her joy instantly turned to anger as all the memories of the previous year rushed back to her. "You mother—" She slapped him as hard as she could and ran past him to her apartment, hurrying to unlock the door.

Surprised at the pain of the slap, Jamie didn't react fast enough to stop Felicia from running into her house. He grinned and rubbed his cheek as he watched her unlock and close the door.

Felicia sunk to the ground and sat in shock.

Jamie.

Jamie smirked. His smooth dark chocolate skin glistening in the August sun as he walked to the door. "Felicia, baby come to the door," he said without knocking.

"NO!" she yelled from the inside. "How are you just going to show up here?!" He chuckled. That was always his style since he met her. He always likes to pop up on her. The way her face lights up when she sees him is priceless.

"I know you saw my call," Jamie said through the door. "Now open the door." He heard a little shuffling and then the door creaked open.

"You knew I wouldn't answer an unknown number," she said softly. She only had the door slightly cracked but he could see her shy face. So innocent looking, He just wanted to kiss her.

"Come here. Give me a hug." He grabs her firmly and pulls her into a hug. She could feel herself getting slightly weak from the smell of Dior's Sauvange and big strong arms wrapping around her. "I just got back to town. I'm working with a producer in the area," He said while still hugging her. "I should be back and forth for a while." She pushed away from him.

"Like ALWAYS," she said with an attitude. She crossed her arms and looked away from him. He chuckled and pulled her back to him.

"You know how it is," He said with a smile. He looked down at her. His smile widens.

"What? "she asked, noticing his grin.

"I see you though bae! Looking all brand new and shit. You look sexy as fuck my baby." He said with approval. She blushed hard. For a moment she had forgotten about her new look.

Damn, he is always so straight forward.

"I guess you're trying to be seen this year, huh?" he asked jokingly.

"Jealous?" she asked as she opened the door wider and let him inside. She and Skkye had recently redecorated their apartment. They chose black furniture with silver and pink accents. The smell of sweet incense and cannabis lingered in the air. Jamie looked around at the room. The 65 in 4k tv was eye-catching and the décor was very expensive looking.

"I might be, but damn bae, y'all got it decked out in here ain't it?" he said looking around the room and going into the kitchen area.

"Oh, you know how Skkye's people are. They let us get whatever we wanted," she replied and followed him into the kitchen. He turned around and pulled her closer to him.

"Well, that's what's up bae." He grabbed her and lifted her onto the counter. They were eye level now. She blushed, he laughed. She looked away. "Don't do that," he said softly. He gently turned her face back to his and kissed her. If a person could melt, she definitely would have. When he stopped, he kissed her on her forehead. "I can't stay," he said.

Emotions rising, "I didn't expect anything. " she replied softly. His phone rang.

Without looking, he answered it. After a short conversation he hung up. "I have to go bae. We have a lot of catching up to do." She blushed. His mischievous face told her that he didn't mean talking when he said catching up.

"Whatever," she said as they walked to the door." You always do me like this." He smiled a big mischievous smile.

"You know it's not intentional bae." His phone rang again this time he didn't answer. "Alright baby, I gotta go. I'll hit you up later," he said as he quickly hopped into his car. She watched as he drove away and went back inside the house. She could feel her adrenaline rushing. He always gave her butterflies from just showing his face. She grabbed her phone.

I just GOTTA call Skyye. She will be glad I have a distraction, I'm sure.

Felicia thought to herself giddily as she grabbed a snack and turned on the tv.

Skkye and her two ladies walked out of the woods smiling and holding hands. The once bickering friends were talking like old times. Skkye laughed along with them, her lustful feelings now temporarily disabled by the naughty acts performed by her two stand ins.

"We'll do dinner a different night ladies. I really just want go home and take a nice long soak in the tub and just chill," Skyye said as she reached her car. "Its been a really long day for me."

"But—," one of the girls said. Instantly annoyed, Skkye turned around sharply and looked at her as if she couldn't believe what she just heard. The other girl quickly spoke out.

" We understand baby. Go relax. If you want something to eat, I'll have you something sent to the house." Skkye smiled a little.

"Okay boo," she said before kissing her on the cheek. "Ill text you later." Skkye got in her car and she could her the girls start arguing.

"Why the fuck would you complain knowing she already barely fucking with you?" Kennedy said to Charlotte who had said 'but' when Skkye said she wanted some 'me time'.

"Bitch FUCK You," Charlotte yelled. Skkye paid them no attention and drove off before the argument could escalate farther.

"SIRI call Felicia," Skkye said to her phone as it connected to the phone's Bluetooth system. The phone rang.

"Hello," Felicia answered.

"Bitch what you doing?

"Girl nothing but guessss what."

"Bitch, what"

"Jamie.."

"JAMMMMIIIE. BIIIIITCH HIS ASS BACK??"

Skkye exclaimed, "Giiiiirl YESSS!"

"Oh my God. Sooooo you seen him yet or nah?"

"Girl!"

"Bitch you fucked him already??"

"Bitch. No. But loooook, I'ma tell you about it when you get her. What you want to eat tonight tho?"

"ahhhh hell! I thought you were a freak like me." Skkye laughed. " But umm.. I'll just get one of these girls to bring us something. I'm tired af."

"Giiiiiirl," Felicia laughed. "You and these damn females. I cannot deal. I'll see you in a lit bit though my girl." Felicia hung up and the "Lucid Dreams by JuiceWorld" started to play. Skkye laughed out loud.

So JAAAAMIE is back. Skkye thought to herself as she drove. He was always a cool dude. Hate how he does my girl sometimes but shit what can I say, I am on the same shit.

She reached the last red light before reaching home. Maybe he can make her happy.

A familiar feeling of sadness crept over her. "Snap out of it, " she said out loud as she approached their apartment complex.
