Preston stepped from his car with determination on his face. He
stuffed his keys into his pocket and walked into the civic
center. Triple Threat was performing that day, but he hadn't
spoken to Samone in almost a week since the incident at his
show, and he was on the verge of going crazy. He slipped in with
security escorting him to where the show was being held. As they
got closer to the arena, he heard the girls on stage going
through sound check. Cautiously, they went through the back and
opened a side door for him. Preston walked in front of the stage
and Samone's eyes landed on him, causing her to stumble over her
words.
Tiffany. Really, Preston? Right now?
Preston. She wont' answer the phone when I call her!
Cassie. We're in the middle of sound check for our biggest show
yet, and you're in here like a love sick puppy right now?
Tiffany. Right now?
Preston looked at Samone.
Preston. I'm not going anywhere until you talk to me, Samone.
You can't keep icing me out.
Cassie. He's really doing this right now.
Preston. I didn't fuckin' ask for y'all opinions!
Tiffany. You're on our time, sir!
Again, he looked at Samone.
Preston. You really just gon' not talk to me over that dumb
shit? I apologized, Samone, what else you want me to do?
Cassie. I'm calling security.
Preston. Samone, I'm not going anywhere until you talk to me,
man.
Tiffany. Please, talk to this dude so he can leave, Samone.
Preston stared at Samone with pleading eyes.[/center]

Samone looked over at Tiffany and Cassie then back at Preston.
She had been actively ignoring him since his show, and she
figured he would eventually leave her alone. Looking at him now,
she realized that wasn't the case, so she finally sighed and
obliged.
Samone. I'll be right back yall... 5 minutes.. Alright?
Cassie shook her head then looked back at the band.
Cassie. Yall want some breakfast on NuSound? We can have it
delivered.
Samone. It aint gon take that long Cassie..
Preston. It might..
Samone looked back at Preston then shook her head walking off
toward the side of the stage and Preston walked along the floor
following her.. She cut down the side stairs and pushed the exit
door open and she walked out to the hallway. She folded her arms
and finally turned to face him once the door closed.
Samone. You didn't have to come here.. I would've called you..
Preston. You aint been calling me.. ****. You aint been
answering.. You aint been responding.. Like what the **** man?
Samone shook her head. She opened her mouth to talk but then she
looked off. She finally gathered her thoughts but she kept her
eyes fixed on the floor off to the side of him.
Samone. I was there.. And that **** hurt.. Preston.
Preston paused at her using his full name.
Samone. Like. How would you feel if I was on stage tongue
wrestling with some man?

Preston. Samone, I know already, and I said I'm sorry for it.
Samone. No, you say it to shut me up, but you don't actually
understand what that does to me.
Preston. Then tell me, sweetheart, but you can't just not talk
to me.
Preston sighed and rubbed his temples.
Preston. Samone, look, I ain't ever really had nothing this
solid with a girl before. This shit new to me, yo.
Samone. That's not a reason to do me like that.
Preston. Baby, I was drunk and in the vibe. She was there. I
know that don't make it better, but I wasn't like...tryna hurt
you or anything, yo. I just got caught up in the moment.
Preston shook his head and caught his breath as it became
ragged.
Preston. I don't know how to handle all this, Samone. A year ago
I wasn't shit. I got a twin, parents, a girlfriend, and a career
I didn't even know I wanted. Shit just happen so fast for me and
I get caught the fuck up.
He looked at her and quickly wiped tears from his eyes.
Preston. Tell me what I need to do so I can do it, Samone, I
just want you and Eva back, man.[/center]

Samone looked at Preston and her heart broke when she realized
he had tears. She sighed unfolding her arms and stuffing them in
the pockets of her sweats.
Samone. I just want you to get it... That's all..
He sighed.
Preston. Get what Samone?
Samone. Get that sorry doesn't fix everything... You can't just
apologize and expect for everything to be okay.. Things that you
affect the people around you..
He paused for a moment.
Preston. Samone.. I kissed her.. We aint have sex..
Samone. I've kissed two people like you kissed her and I've had
sex with both of them.
Preston. I've kissed a bunch of bitches like that and...
Samone's mouth dropped open slightly as she waited for him to
finish his statement. He saw her face and cut himself off with a
sigh.
Preston. Samone..
She watched as he wiped his face with one of his hands.
Preston. You know how much yall mean to me... You and Eva.. She
was just some random at a show...
Samone sighed.
Samone. Look.. I know this is new to you... It's new to me too..
And the whole world is looking at us because of our careers....
I still don't get how I got here.. It's unreal... And I still
have to remind myself that I have what it takes to do this..
That I'm enough.. And...
She paused for a moment as she realized the root of her problem.
This whole time she thought the root issue was that he kissed
another woman, and even though that was an issue, it wasn't the
root of her issue with him.. She looked at him. He was listening
intently until she stopped.
Preston. And? Finish..
Samone. I need some air...
She turned and walked off toward an exit.
Preston. Samone..
Once she made it outside, they walked a couple of feet away from
the building, and he caught her by her arm lightly to stop her
from walking any further.
Preston. Baby. Talk to me..
She took a deep breath and turned to him.
Samone. That whole moment made me feel so small okay? And then
it went viral... Like I know you was drunk and I know how easy
getting caught up is. But watching you and her.... It just
hurt.. Then everyone else had to put their two cents in... I
wasn't responding to you cause I felt like I wasn't enough for
you.. I've spent my whole life not being enough so..
Samone shrugged.
Preston. I never said you wasn't enough Samone...
Samone. That's how I felt..
She paused for a couple more moments and she looked at him. She
could see the anguish in his eyes, and she sighed looking off
with her head down.
Samone. I love you so much.. And Eva loves you too.. I just.. I
want you to be happy.. I want you to be satisfied too... Even if
it means we can only be friends.. I don't want to lose our
friendship..

Preston's eyes fell on Samone.
Preston. Are you breaking up with me?
Samone. No, Preston.
Preston. Then what you talkin' about? I'm not just tryin to be
your friend, Samone, I love you.
Preston slowly walked to her, taking her hands int ohis.
Preston. I didn't mean to make you feel like you wasn't enough,
man. I would never do that, I don't even deserve you.
Samone looked up at Preston and he sighed.
Preston. You're perfect, man. You're so perfect, And I don't
know how to handle having a girl like you.
Samone. I'm not perfect.
Preston. You are to me. You're everything to me, and you gotta
know I would never intentionally hurt you. I love you, Mone...
Preston held Samone's face in her hands.
Preston. You're way too good for me.
The side door opened and Preston looked up to see Cassie and
Tiffany standing there.
Cassie. You said five.
Preston bit his tongue and looked back down at Samone.
Preston. Look at me, Samone.
She looked up at him and he kissed her gently, still holding her
face in his hands. He pulled back and put his forehead on her's.
Preston. You're enough. You're more than enough. You're my girl,
I love you to death, and you gon' be my wife one day. Me, you,
and my lil chicken nugget gon' be cool.
Samone laughed and held his waist as he hugged her shoulders,
kissing the top of her head.
Preston. Go get ready and kill shit tonight, yo.
Samone. Are you gon' stay?
Preston. I'll be back.
Samone nodded and they kissed each other again before she took
off inside. Quickly, he grabbed Tiffany's hand before she could
walk off. He pulled her outside and she looked up at him.
Preston. I want to do something during y'all show.
Tiffany. You are not proposing to Samone.
Preston. What? No, nigga, I ain't tryna put her on the spot like
that.
Tiffany. Then what are you trying to do?
Preston. I don't know. Bring her flowers on stage or something?
Tiff, I gotta make this shit up to her publicly, too.
Tiffany sighed.
Tiffany. Call Elijah, he's romantic, he can help you.
Preston. Softie ass nigga.
Tiffany. Hey!
Preston laughed as Tiffany shoved him. She walked back inside as
he pulled out his phone, calling his brother.
Elijah. Wassup, Twin?
Preston. I'ma come get you, nigga, I need your help.
Elijah. Bet. I'm leaving practice, I'll meet you at the
house.[/center]

Samone made her way back to the stage and she and Cassie looked
at each other.
Cassie. You alright?
Samone nodded.
Samone. Yeah.. -sigh- I still dont know if he gets it, but...
She gave a slight shrug.
Samone. That's my guy...
She looked at Cassie and Cassie gave her a smirk.
They both looked at the door as Tiffany walked in texting on her
phone with a smile on her face.
Cassie. Are you ready to sound check or do we need to check with
the other twin?
Tiffany. Cute. The other twin is good. Thank you.. I didn't get
to see him this morning so I was checking on him..
Samone. Aww. That's sweet..
Cassie. Are you the love sick puppy?
Tiffany. Don't start with me Cassandra...
Samone laughed a little as Cassie smirked and rolled her eyes.
Samone. Yall chill out..
Tiffany. Are you good though?
She and Tiffany looked at each other.
Samone. I'm okay... I just... -sigh- Iono... I'm sorry about
that though yall..
Tiffany. Don't worry about it...
Cassie. We do need to get through this sound check though..
Samone. I'm ready...

Elijah pulled into his driveway and saw Preston was already
parked on the curb in front of his house.. Elijah got out of his
car and made his way to Preston's passenger side. He slid into
the car speaking to his brother.
Elijah. Say nigga.. Waddup?
He and Preston walked closer, and the two slapped hands.
Preston. ****.. I just came from seeing Samone.. We made up..
Elijah nodded.
Elijah. Tiff told me.. That's wassup.. What you need from me?
Preston. Ion think she felt me like I want her to feel me. You
know? I need to do something big for her but iono what to do..
I'm gon walk on stage..
Elijah looked over at him thinking he was joking, but when he
seen Preston's straight face, he knew he was serious..
Elijah. You gon crash their performance?
Preston. Yeah.. Well.. I don't wanna crash it.. Maybe at the end
or some ****.. -sigh- I dont know... I just wanna to make it up
to her in front of everybody...Like a public apology...
Elijah nodded warming up to the idea of his brother crashing
Triple Threat's performance.. He let a few ideas bounce around
in his mind then he looked over at Preston and smiled.
Elijah. You gon need some flowers..... A bunch of flowers....
And a gift...
Preston. What gift?
Elijah thought about it for a moment.
Elijah. Give her your heart... In front of everybody..
Preston cut his eyes at Elijah as Elijah smirked.
Elijah. I got a florist and jeweler...
Preston. The ****?
Preston looked Elijah as Elijah looked at his watch the pulled
out his phone sending off a couple of text messages.
Elijah. Let's get to Uptown.. I got a favor or two I can call
in.. She gon feel you... Or at least she aint gon be mad you
crashing her ****..
Elijah glanced over at Preston as he pulled from the curb..

Elijah. Why you so bent outta shape 'bout this, P?
Preston. What you mean?
Elijah. You're bothered. Hella bothered.
Preston sighed hard and shook his head.
Preston. I just don't want to lose her, man.
Elijah. I get that. But, if y'all talked, you should be good.
Why the extra mile?
Preston hit the highway towards Uptown, glancing at his brother.
Preston. I don't remember a lot of shit from my childhood, man.
It's like big ass chunks of shit is just gone. Can't tell you
where I went to school, who my friends were, what I liked to do.
Nothing.
Elijah. Damn.
Preston. And the shit that I do remember? Most of it ain't the
kinda shit a nigga would want to keep a memory of.
The car fell silent for a moment.
Preston. I guess I been trying to make my life memorable since I
was bout 16. Good memories. Trust me, they ain't all been good.
But, when I get something good, I try to hold onto it. Samone is
the best thing that's ever happened to me, man. If I lose her,
I'm scared I'ma lose everything good in my life.
Elijah. P, she's not going nowhere.
Preston. And I want to make sure she don't. That's why I'm doing
all this for her. Samone ain't just some random bitch I wanted
to fuck. Even when I was a kid with her, she had this thing that
made me smile when I was around her.
Preston shrugged as he pulled into a parking spot.
Preston. I can't explain that shit properly, bruh. She
just...she's it for me.[/center]

Elijah nodded.
Elijah. I feel you bruh.. You just gotta do what you gotta do...
-smirk- My homie gon help you make a statment, but you still
gotta figure out what you gon say to her..
They looked at each other then both got out of the car and began
walking side by side as they approached the flower shop.
Preston. I dont know... I'm still working on it I guess..
Elijah. Well I already know these flowers finna hit..
Preston. I aint ever known a nigga to talk about some flowers
hittin...
Elijah laughed and shrugged.
Elijah. I used to have a way with the ladies back in the day..
Flowers are always a quick go-to..
Preston. Used to?
Elijah. Yeahhh. Used to.. Now I'm just tryna keep a smile on
Tiffany's face..
Preston. What ever happened to that other girl?
Elijah looked over at him and raised an eye brow.
Preston. Uhh. The chick that thought I was you at the park..
Elijah. Oh.. Yesenia... -shrug- She was a tough one.. I spoiled
her ass though.. But when Tiffany became my tutor, she started
trippin hard.. We broke up and Tiif just couldn't resist my good
looks and charm..
Elijah laughed as he rubbed his chin hairs while Preston smirked
and shook his head.
Elijah. Her ass took my son from us though... That shit still
bothers me.
Elijah sighed and Preston looked over at him. Elijah reached for
the door of the shop and opened it. The two made their way
inside as their nostrils filled with the scent of fresh flowers
Elijah spoke to a man with a spray bottle.
Elijah. Chauncey. What's up?
Chauncey. Look what the wind blew in! And there really are two
of you...
Elijah and Chauncey slapped hands as Preston waived with his two
fingers.
Chauncey. What brings you by today? Are we doing another 'just
because' arrangement or is it a birthday?
Elijah. Na.. It's for my brother... He wants to crash a show at
the downtown arena tonight to say sorry to his girl...
Chauncey. Ohhh.. I see.. I see... Oh. Are you really dating the
other Triple Threat girl cause I saw a video...?
Preston cut him off.
Preston. Samone is her name... And yeah she's my girl..
Chauncey nodded.
Chauncey. Oh.. Okay.. You know you two are so cute together... I
would love to help... What did you have in mind?
Elijah. See. I was thinkin flowers delivered.. Lining the foot
of the stage..
Chauncey. Oh yes yes.. And we could even put a message on it for
you.. Keep it from being so odd..
Preston. A message like what?
Chauncey. Well.. What are you trying to say?
Preston. I want her to know that I love her... and I want her to
forgive me..
Chauncey. We can do that... "Please Forgive Me" on one side, and
"I Love You Samone" on the other. Then after all the flowers are
out, you'll be able to walk on stage it'll be like your
introduction..
Elijah. That sounds dope..
Chauncey put his spray bottle away and grabbed a pen and note
pad from his apron.
Chauncey. Okay.. What side would you like her to see while she's
on stage, and what is her favorite flower or flowers?

Preston sighed and ran his hands through his hair.
Preston. Man, I don't know. I ain't good at this shit.
Chauncey. No worry. Just tell me her favorite flower.
Preston. Chrysanthemums and roses.
Chauncey. Ugh, I love roses. So perfect and romantic.
Preston. I mean...I guess either message is good. She knows I'm
sorry, so I want the world to know I'm sorry.
Chauncey. Why?
Preston. Because I fucked up in public. Gotta make it up in
public.
Chauncey quickly wrote on his tablet.
Elijah. You think we can get shit together for him, Chauncey?
Chauncey. Of course we can! It's going to be so beautiful,
she'll fall for you in no time.
A smile crept across Preston's face as Elijah read a text.
Elijah. My jeweler back at the store. Chauncey, we'll be back to
finalize.
Preston followed Elijah out of the shop as they walked down the
sidewalk.
Preston. You think this gon' work?
Elijah. It's gon work. You gotta learn to be subtle, bro.
Preston. What you mean?
Elijah. Samone ain't the kinda girl that needs heavy actions.
You too intense. You gotta treat her like a flower, not a down
bitch.
Preston. You fuckin casanova and shit.
Elijah. Trust me. If you can settle yourself down, that girl
ain't gon think about going nowhere.
Preston thought for a moment and nodded.
Preston. How the fuck I do that?[/center]

Elijah thought about it for a moment then looked over at
Preston.
Elijah. I dont have all the answers nigga.. I just give good
advice sometimes... I know you gotta keep other females out of
your personal space though... That shit will most likely end
bad.. Awkward encounters lead to awkward pictures leads to
speculation which leads to arguments and insecurities and that's
just some shit you don't wanna deal with...
Preston. I can control myself now..
Elijah looked over at Preston and they made eye contact. Preston
sighed and shook his head.
Preston. I aint ever did this shit before man..
Elijah. I feel you.. I had my share of relationships though...
Fucked up enough times to know a lil sum too..
Preston. Fucked up with Tiff?
Elijah shook his head.
Elijah. Na.. I think all them other females prepared me for
Tiffany..
Elijah shrugged.
Elijah. It took a while for me to want to settle down.. I had to
learn shit through trial and error..
Preston. Oh yeah?
Elijah nodded.
Elijah. This gon sound cliche but consider her before you do
shit.. Like.. if she did what you're about to do, would you be
cool or would you spazz the fuck out? And females are sensitive
in their own ways.. You just gotta figure out what makes her
tick.... This whole ordeal is just a lesson for yall though..
You know kissing other women is mos def an issue and she knows
you'll pop up on her ass if you need to..
Preston sucked his teeth and looked over at Elijah as he smiled
and shrugged.
Elijah. I'm just sayin... Gotta look for the lessons in
everything..
Preston. How you get so deep?
Elijah smirked.
Elijah. I listen to old people...
Preston laughed as did Elijah while they approached the jewelry
store. When they made it to the door, it popped open for them,
and they were met by a middle-aged woman dressed in a skirt
suit.
Vivian. Hello hello..
Elijah. Hey Viv.. What's going on?
Elijah gave her a light hug and the three of them walked further
into the store.
Viv. Well. I had locked up for the day until you texted me with
an emergency....
Elijah. And I appreciate you staying late for me... For us..
Viv. Mmmhmm.. How's your folks doin?
Elijah. They're good...
Viv. Good.. Now what brings yall by after closing?
Elijah. Well... My brother is looking for a gift for his girl..
He's tryna make up with her tonight..
Vivian. Hmm. What are you looking for?
Elijah. Maybe a necklace? Heart shaped?
Vivan smirked.
Vivan. I have a few things that might work out... Come see...
Elijah and Preston followed Vivian over to a display case seeing
multiple necklaces. She pulled out a couple of pieces for them
to see. They looked at the different necklaces for a moment
before she spoke up after Preston touched one of them.
Vivan. That one is my personal favorite. It's what we call a
floating heart, one single diamond. 2 and a half carats. and 14k
gold. It's simple, but it packs a punch..
