CHASE'S POV    I can't think. I can't concentrate. Lauren was supposed to be here with me. It's my family's dinner and I told them I was gonna bring someone. I was gonna bring a woman who's stolen my heart. It's heartbreaking she didn't want me. I mean she told me had feelings for me. She said she has fallen in love with me, so why break up with me?      I have never understood women growing up. I never did and I don't bother because I didn't care. I just wanna get laid and when morning comes you should be out of my bed before I wake up. I make sure they don't even spend the night in my house sometimes. But all that changed the minute I saw her in a tight red dress in that club. She was so pure, her soul was the purest of them all. Even before she noticed me that day, I already saw

" I haven't seen Tina around. She's gone?" Chase asks.   It's Saturday and I'm in my apartment with Chase. I'm happy we're back together and on good terms. I've been avoiding Anderson's calls since Friday, yesterday because I want nothing to ruin this for me. We just got back together after I almost ruined things and eventually broke things off with Chase.   I know what I'm doing is bad. Leaving Anderson on hang because of my reasons. He doesn't deserve any of the treatment I'm giving him. He's the second man who genuinely likes me and I just mistreated him. I feel bad. I mean, I should feel bad. But today, maybe when Chase is gone, I'm going to drive to Anderson's house and tell him what's really happening and I'm going to break up with him. It's already decided.  

   On Sunday, I clean the house and constantly check my phone for a reply from Chase. I haven't gotten anything yet. I feel like he was ghosting me.  " Are you okay?" Mom asks when we sat down for breakfast that morning. " You've been checking your phone constantly? Is it the boyfriend?"   I roll my eyes.  " Yeah." " Something wrong? You guys fighting again?" " It's not really fighting. There's this guy I actually dated for a short time because I wanted to... you know...try and get Chase out of my head. Well…Chase got pissed I was dating him and this other guy and he wa

  I wake up to the smell of coffee, bacon and eggs in the air. Without being told, I know my mom's behind that beguiling aroma. It's Monday morning. The day all of this pretentious act that has to deal with Chase comes to an end. If I'm lucky, today should be a good day for me. Chase left last night and I don't remember him leaving my bedroom. When I woke up at midnight, I found a handwritten note by Chase, telling me he couldn't spend the night and that he had to leave. Attached with beautiful kisses and I love yous.  I quickly take a shower and get dressed in a dark grey short sleeve dress. I slip my feet inside my pumps. I add a little natural make up and twirl around in front of my mirror. I look good. I grab my handbag and walk out of my bedroom to the kitchen. I am correct. Mom is in the kitchen eating bacon and eggs, with coffee on the side." Good morning, ma." I smile at my mom and grab a mug to pour myself some already brewed coffee."

" Who do you think would send you such creepy messages?" Tanner asks.   It's Saturday morning and I barely slept last night. I spent the night thinking who would want to send me such creepy weird messages and no name came to mind. Well except Regina. But why? I called my friends on FaceTime this morning to find a solution to this. I can't tell Chase. I don't want him to worry because of me and the other reason is because I don't want him to know about my job. I want to tell him myself and I'm planning on doing that tomorrow which is Sunday. " Tanner, can you at least decipher whose person's number is that?" Roxie asks. We're all in our houses since it's Saturday morning.  " It's a blocked number and a complete dead end." Tanner says, shaking his head.
