trying to hide it.”
     
    “Well, I guess a girl can’t help that her man is as fine and smart as you. I’d be offended if women didn’t want you.” She loved his deep brown, round shaped eyes that sat gazing at her. His rich chocolate skin was perfectly toned and his smile kept her panties moist. He was definitely a good looking brother with a well kept chiseled frame. He always had a way of making her feel special and she definitely didn’t want that to change that. Jennifer had sat there trying to feel her boyfriend out, but since he wasn’t saying much of what she wanted to hear, she decided to just straight up let it out. “So, I heard that Jada Kent is back in town.”
     
    Marlon wasn’t expecting that, because he actually wanted to tell her about it first. However, he didn’t hesitate to respond. “Well, she is back but I don’t know for how long.”
     
    “Have you seen her?” She quickly asked.
     
    He decided to come clean, not wanting to lie about it. “Yes, I was heading to Mama Gray’s and she happened to be outside coolin’ on her porch.”
     
    Jennifer grinned a bit. “She happened to be outside?”
     
    Marlon looked down at the table wishing the waitress would hurry back with his drink. “Yeah, she was sitting on her front porch.”
     
    “Oh I see. So you were passing by there or something?” She asked, knowing good in well that the only way Marlon would have seen her was if he went the long way to Mama Gray’s and had to drive by her house or if he took the short cut and rode through the Kent’s back yard to get there quicker. Either way it was fucked up, because he still made it his business to see her.
     
    “I hopped on the 4-wheeler and rode through the path this morning. No biggie.” He nonchalantly stated.
     
    “No biggie,” she mocked him then smugly grinned again. “We’ve known each other for five years and you haven’t once wanted to take the path to your grandma’s house since you and Jada parted ways. I mean, what was the point of it this morning? It’s like you wanted to see her or something.” She said.
     
    Marlon looked in her loving eyes. He knew the woman sitting across from him had mad love for him and he didn’t want to disappoint her. She’d been his homey, his lover, and friend in helping him get over Jada since she’d left and he was forever grateful to her for that. The last thing he wanted was for her to have doubts about them and their relationship. She was smart, classy, a little edgy, and feisty. All the things he loved in a woman being that his mom was the same way. She was beautiful, fine, and very skilled in the bedroom to be three years younger than him. He did love her, but she didn’t give him that feeling… that feeling that Jada gave him.
     
    “So, did you want to see her?” Jennifer asked again.
     
    “I can’t lie. I did.” He admitted. “I wanted to see if there was anything still there.”
     
    “Hm, is that right?” Jennifer asked with a slick roll of the eyes. “And, was it anything there?” She took in a deep breath not wanting to hear the truth if it was.
     
    “Nah, I mean it was good to see that she was alright and all, but there was nothing there.” He lied.
     
    Jennifer stared into his eyes. She wanted to see if he was lying. It seemed as if he was being honest, but she couldn’t fully trust it. Jada was back and this was just the beginning of a long awaited battle between a rival she’d only heard or read things about. Unfortunately, she’d only met her once in passing, but she knew her face all too well. She was like the reflection of Jada’s past and it irked her at times. They were both cheerleaders and homecoming queens at the same school, just a few years apart. To top it off, they both had love for the same man. She’d heard of the family feud and the inevitable, complicated love story that history seemed to follow. She also knew about the fall outs between the brothers, and the way that the
