Love Won't Go :: AOOL Sequel |o6|

| DEVIN |


A month has passed and I could finally say things were right fo me. My boutique was getting popular and I was enjoying my life. Today I just sat in all day and right now Lloyd was over with Chyna and I. I haven't spoke to Chris in weeks and it didn't phase me. It was late and we were just talking on my bed. I had just finished paiting Chyna's toes and she was now alseep. I was brushing her hair, like I do every night.

Lloyd and I have become much closer and the feelings I had for Chris was slowly starting to fade away. Lloyd was attractive, sweet, talent, and caring all in one. He was definitely a plus in my book. When we were together all I could do was open up to him or smile. We were always talking about life, the future, present, past. We talked about it all.

"Remember whenI took you out and the waitor thought I was a fake," Lloyd says while laughing.

"Yeah, that was like what two weeks ago,"I ask while laughing as I recall that day.

"She looks so peaceful when she's asleep," he says while looking at Chyna.

"I know, but when that thing is awake, lawh!"

"Cherish them while they're young."

"I try my best," I say as I kiss my daughter's head. "I don't know about you, but I'm hungry you want a bite to eat?"

"Yeah, because my stomach is screaming for attention right now," Lloyd says. I laugh and we get up from my bed and headed to the kitchen. I went into my pantry as Lloyd took a seat and my bar.

"What's on the menu," Lloyd jokes. I look back at him and I smiled.

"Well I have a craving for some grilled cheese, how about you?"

"That's cool, don't burn my shit either Dev."

"Boy are you crazy, Mama Dev throws down in the kitchen," I say while laughing.

"Actions speak louder than words."

"You are such a smart ass," I say while laughing. I turned the radio on low, I always did this whenI cooked. And knowing this staion, they would be playing some oldies that I grew up to. All of a sudden, I heard a familiar beat. I stopped everything and I turned it up. It was a classic, Raphael Saadiq's Ask of You.

"Oh my God, this is my song," I say.

"Is that what I think it is," Lloyd asks.

"Yep, my childhood crush Raphael Saafiq."

"I remember this song, it was from Higher Learning right?"

"Mm hmm."

Lloyd began to sing the words and I kept my eyes on him. I joined in with him and we both began singing the lyrics. I had a decent singing voice, but I didn't like to sing. As I was cooking I started smiling as I let Lloyd continue to sing the rest. He sounded like an angel, his voice was so sweet and attractive. When he hit that high note, I almost melted. I watched him and he kept his eyes on me. I bit my lip and folded my arms across my chest. I watched him as he sung that song, but he looked damn good. I don't know if it was hormones, but he was starting to turn me on. I almost forgot the food was on. Then the song switched to Inoj I Want To Be Your Lady Baby. I took the spatula in my hand and I began dancing and singing along. I loved this song so much. I know Lloyd was laughing and smiling, but I didn't care this was my shit.

I belted at the top of my lungs as I danced along to it. I used to be so in love with this song when I was younger. I miss those old times, my mom and I would always dance to this song.I missed my mom, but continued to dance.I let the song play through as I continued with our food. Five minutes later, we were sitting down and enjoying our meals.

"This is pretty good," Lloyd says while smile.

"Told you I throw down," I say while wiping my mouth.

"And I didn't know you could sing and dance until tonight," he says while laughing.

"Shut up," I say as I push him playfully. "And it's 12:05 in the morning, shouldn't you be heading home."

"I'm a grown ass man, I go home when I want to."

"Well excuse me for asking you when you're leaving MY house," I say as I grab his plate. I put them both in the sink and I wiped my mouth.

"What are your plans tomorrow," he asks.

"Well I have to bring Chyna over to Chris' house when I work, but after work I'm not busy."

"How about you come over to my place?"

"I'd love to," I say while smiling. I switched the station and Melanie Fiona's 4 AM was playing. I sung along to it and I smiled.

"You know you have a real decent an beautiful singing voice," he says seriously.

"Thank you, but now that we're making confessions...remember that group N-Toonyou used to be in?"

"Yeah," he says while smiling. "What about it?"

"Well, you may find this hard to believe, but you were my favorite...I had a big ass crush on you," I say while laughing.

"Oh really?"

"Yep."

"Wow, who would've thought. What you think about me now?"

"Well...you're still that sweet friend of mine, attractive, and talented."

"And you are beautiful, talented, an excellent mother, a crazy ass friend, and a caring individual."

"You are so sweet."

"Most guys are."

"But you're different."

| LLOYD |

The times I spent with Devin, I've became real close to her. I was really starting to develop feelings for her. She had her own, she is attractive, independent, and she's fine as hell. How could Breezy ever let this go? But I learned that she was more than just a pretty face. She struggles with problems from Chris, she lost her mother to cancer, and she doesn't know her father. So all she has in life are her friendsand Chyna.

"And you're different," she says to me. I smiled at her.

"Good or bad way?"

"Good," she says while walking up to me. I looked in her eyes and it was clear that the attraction was there. I grabbed her face gently and I pecked her on the lips. She closed her eyes and looked at me, then I kissed her again.
