Liam stood in his living room and stared at the TV in shock as
the news played. He heard the doorbell and slowly walked
backwards to it, opening it to see Elijah standing there.
Elijah. I ain't know you lived ou there.
Liam. Shut up, come in and look.
The two made their way back into the living room as the
newscaster spoke.
News. An employee of Xavier Woods, famed businessman and former
football player, was arrested today in Hamilton Beach in the
death of Dennis Freeman.
Liam looked at Elijah.
Liam. Did you know about this?
Elijah. Nah.
Liam reached into a drawer and handed Elijah a thumb drive.
Elijah. What's that?
Liam. The video. It's the only copy. Burn it, throw it in the
river, whatever you want to do. I guess now that they made an
arrest and Wesley isn't here, you guys are good to go.
Elijah. Wait, Wesley? Where is he?
Liam. I told you I handled it.
He walked off to the kitchen to grab water bottles.[/center]

Elijah. But what happened?
Elijah followed behind Liam and sat on a bar stool as Liam
grabbed water out of the fridge.
Liam put a water bottle in front of Elijah and opened his. He
took a sip then spoke as he rested against the counter.
Liam. He attacked me when I confronted him about all of the
stuff.... It was either me or him..
Elijah looked at Liam for a moment then opened his water bottle
too and drunk from it.
Elijah. Damn.. I'm sorry you went through that.. Are you okay?
Liam. I'm fine.. Just.. Just glad it's over..
Elijah nodded.
Elijah. Me too.. I really appreciate you though, L. Winston..
Liam. It was self defense...
Elijah nodded
Elijah. Yeah... But not about that... Now that all this shit is
coming to a head.. I'm glad you paired me and Tiffany together
and basically made her tutor me. -smirk- She's great...
Liam. Are yall seeing each other?
Elijah smiled a bit..
Elijah. I guess you could say that... We been spending a lot of
time together lately.. She real coo.. I aint really seen her
since we went to the fair though... That video had us bugged the
fuck out.. But foreal though.. She one in a million.

Liam. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were feeling a
little bit of love.
Elijah. I don't know if I'm ready for that yet.
Liam. You don't have to. I'm just saying what I see. You lit up
talkin' about her.
They chuckled.
Liam. I know that girl can be a handful. I didn't just put her
together for your benefit.
Elijah. What you mean?
Liam. Tiffany has had it rough. She's opened up to me about some
things, and I believe you can help her blossom.
Elijah. You really think so?
Liam took a gulp of his water and nodded.
Liam. I'm hosting an open mic night tonight. Some of my other
students will be there. How about for your first date, you bring
her there? Maybe you can even convince her to sing.
Elijah. Melanie mentioned it. Can that girl really sing?
Liam. Can she sing?!
They laughed.
Liam. Bring her down there. Between me and you, we'll get her to
sing.[/center]

Elijah nodded his head as he thought about it.
Elijah. That is a good idea... L. Winston you full of good
ideas...
Liam laughed and took another drink from his water as Elijah
grabbed his water still thinking about it.. He pulled out his
phone and dialed Tiffany's number. After a few moments she
answered.
Tiffany. Hello?
Elijah. Hey.. Where are you? I wanna see you real quick..
Tiffany. I'm at home.. Talking to my dad..
Elijah. Oh.. He on the other line?
Tiffany sighed.
Tiffany. No... He's right in front of me..
Elijah. Oh.. Alright.. Good. I wanna meet him. I'll be over in a
minute..
Tiffany. Now?
Elijah. Yeahh..
Tiffany. Bye.
She hung up on him and he smiled at L. Winston..
Elijah. Alright.. I gotta go. She with her dad and I should meet
him right?
Liam smiled and shrugged as Elijah shook his head.
Elijah. Whatever L. Winston. Thanks though.. I'll see you
later..
The two said their goodbyes and moments later Elijah was back in
his car racing to the campus. Once he arrived he pulled into a
parking spot near the entrance and wiped his face looking in the
mirror.. Before he knew it he was at her door. He went to knock
but paused for a moment.
Tiffany. I know...
??. Im so disappointed in you..
He swallowed and knocked on the door trying to prepare himself
for whatever he was walking into..

Tiffany. Come in.
Tiffany folded her arms and sat back on the back of the couch as
the door popped open and Elijah stepped into the apartment
slowly.
Elijah. Am I interrupting?
Xavier. In fact, you are.
Tiffany. Dad...
Tiffany stood up with a sigh.
Tiffany. Dad, this is Elijah. The guy I was tutoring.
Xavier. And partner in crime.
Elijah looked at Tiffany.
Tiffany. Elijah, this is my father, Xavier Woods.
Xavier. And your savior.
Tiffany. Daddy, seriously?
Xavier. Tiffany, I told you to leave Dennis alone.
Tiffany. And I did. He tracked my phone and found me here, I
told you that.
Xavier stepped forward to Elijah.
Xavier. I guess I should be grateful. If it weren't for your
quick thinking, my daughter may not even be here.
Elijah. She would have done the same for me.
Tiffany hid her small smile as Xavier and Elijah shook hands.
Elijah. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Woods. I've heard a lot about
you and your family.
Xavier. I trust only good things.
Tiffany. I didn't lie about mom.
Xavier. You never do.
Xavier looked back at Elijah.
Xavier. So, young man, what are your intentions with my
daughter?
Tiffany. Daddy, we're friends.
Xavier. You think I'm crazy, Tiffany?
Tiffany rolled her eyes.
Xavier. Elijah, what are your intentions with Tiffany?
Elijah cleared his throat.
Elijah. Mr. Woods, I like your daughter a lot. I haven't known
her long, but I can tell you she's one of the best things that's
ever happened to me. She's had my back better than anybody I've
known other than my own parents, but I'm moving at her pace.
We're friends now, and I know I want to be more to her than
that. I want to make her as happy as I can for as long as she'll
let me.
Tiffany stared at Elijah as he spoke. She slid her hand in his
and intertwined their fingers, looking at her father.
Tiffany. Are you happy now?
Xavier. No.
Tiffany groaned and Xavier put his hand up.
Xavier. But, as long as you are, I have nothing to complain
about. The boy killed somebody for you. That's something special
that I don't even have for your mother.
Tiffany smiled and Xavier shook Elijah's hand again.
Xavier. If you hurt my daughter, I'll be back to make you
disappear just like this mess you two made...
Elijah nodded. Xavier wrapped his arms around Tiffany's tiny
frame and kissed the top of her head.
Xavier. I love you, Princess.
Tiffany. I love you, Daddy. Have a safe flight.
Xavier. Call your aunt, please?
Tiffany. I will.
Tiffany walked her father to the door. He glanced at her and
Elijah again before walking out and she sighed hard, turning
back to Elijah.
Tiffany. Intense, right?
Elijah. I see where you get it from.
They laughed and she playfully punched him. They fell into each
other's arms as she caressed the back of his neck.
Tiffany. Did you mean what you just said, or were you saying
what you know my father would have wanted to hear?[/center]

Elijah. Na. I meant it...
He looked over at her in her eyes as she smiled.
Elijah. I was actually hoping you were free tonight.. I'd like
to take you out.. You know.. On a real date..
Tiffany smirked a bit.
Tiffany. It's about time..
Elijah bumped her as they both laughed..
Tiffany. Where we going?
Elijah. It's a surprise..
Tiffany. I dont like surprises..
Elijah. Will you trust me?
Tiffany looked over at him and he smiled at her. She finally
broke her straight face and smirked.
Tiffany. I wanna know..
Elijah smiled and stood up as Melanie was walking through the
door.
Melanie. Hey yall..
Elijah. Wassup.
Tiffany. Hey Mel..-looks at Elijah- I still wanna know.
Mel. Know what?
Elijah. Ummm. Know I'll be back at 7:30..
He smiiled again as she hit him with a pillow while he walked
past her.
Elijah. See yall later..
He exited the apartment and went back to his place to begin
getting ready.

It was 7:25 and Tiffany was slipping on her boots. Melanie sat
in bed next to her with a smirk on her face. Tiffany looked at
her and laughed.
Tiffany. What?
Melanie. You're excited.
Tiffany. Whatever.
Melanie. You are!
Tiffany. Excited to get out of the house? Absolutely.
Tiffany looked at Melanie, who was grinning at her like an
excited puppy. Tiffany sighed and sat back, looking at her.
Tiffany. I'm scared, Mel.
Melanie. Scared of what?
Tiffany. I'm scared to like him.
The air grew tense and Tiffany sat up.
Tiffany. Melanie, he's perfect. Inside and out, Elijah is the
guy I used to dream would like somebody like me.
Melanie. What's wrong with you?
Tiffany. Nothing. But...you grow up hearing shit that I did, it
tends to stick with you. "You're pretty for a dark skinned
girl."
Melanie sighed.
Tiffany. When I was a kid, I used to dream about a boy who was
smart, kind, and looked at me like I belonged. When I grew up I
wanted that same boy to be sexy, know what he wanted out of
life, and still looked at me like I belonged...Elijah is all of
that.
Melanie. Damn...You've been thinking about this, huh?
Tiffany. I knew Elijah could be the one the day he killed
Dennis...you don't just do that for anyone. He makes my freaking
heart beat fast, and I get so weak when he smiles at me.
Melanie. AWWWW, YOU'RE SO IN LOVE!
Melanie jumped up and hugged Tiffany, causing her to laugh
loudly. They stopped when they heard a knock at the door.
Tiffany. Go get the door.
Melanie. Bitch, it ain't my date.
Tiffany. I have to make an entrance, stop it.
Melanie got up and walked out as Tiffany looked at herself in
the mirror.
Tiffany. Okay, Tiff...if everything goes right tonight...you'll
give it to him. You're a big girl. You're ready. He won't stop
calling you. He'll still respect you in the morning...just
breath, bitch. Breath.[/center]

Elijah greeted Melanie at the door and walked inside the
apartment.
Mel. So yall going on a real date huh?
Elijah smiled and nodded as he watch Mel get excited a little
with him.
Elijah. Yeahh. It's gon be nice.. I gotta question though..
Mel. Wassup?
Elijah. What song does she always sing?
Mel. -smile- So into you.. By Tamia.
Elijah thought for a moment and then nodded.
Elijah. My mom used to jam that..
Just as soon as the words escaped his mouth he saw something
move out of the corner of his eye. When he looked at Tiffany he
smiled. She was beautiful.
Elijah. Damn girl... You beautiful..
He watched as she smiled.
Tiffany. You kinda cute too..
Elijah smirked at her as she walked over to him.
Elijah. You ready to go?
She nodded as Mel spoke.
Mel. Yall have a good time. You take care of her..
Elijah. I will..
Tiffany. Bye Mel.
The couple walked out of the apartment and before long they were
heading to the downtown scene. Tiffany stared out of the window
as she took in the scenery.
Tiffany. You're taking me to a bar?
Elijah glance over at her and smirked.
Elijah. Trust me alright...
Tiffany glanced at him as they parked. After a while they both
got out of the car and began their walk to the entrance as she
held onto his arm.
Elijah. We gon have fun.. Alright?
Tiffany looked up at him as he smiled which forced her to smile
back.
Tiffany. Alright..
Once they got into the bar the lights were low and there was a
soulful vibe. They found a table near the stage and a waitress
walked by.
Elijah. Excuse me. Miss. Can we get a hennessy and coke and...
Elijah looked at Tiffany.
Tiffany. And a coke..
The waitress nodded and walked off as the host took the stage.
Host. Good evening good people. We are here on our infamous
student open mic night. Now you all know the rules and if you
dont let me refresh you. This is a safe place and we don't do
boos... We can snap if we like it and if it's real good yall
know... We are all about good vibes... And the stage is now open
to whomever would like to share stop by the DJ booth to be
introduced.
The host exited the stage and Elijah looked over at Tiffany as
the DJ introduced the first person.
Elijah. What do you think so far?

Tiffany. You think you're slick, huh?
Elijah chuckled.
Tiffany. I'm not singing, Elijah.
Elijah. I didn't say you had to.
Tiffany. Good. Because, I'm not.
Tiffany cut her eyes at Elijah before they felt a presence at
the table. She turned and paused.
Tiffany. Professor Winston?
Liam. Hey, you two. Glad you could come out.
Tiffany. Why are you here?
Liam. I fund these shows. Some of my students wanted to do it,
so I'm always here just watching.
Tiffany nodded.
Liam. Tiff, you should sign up.
Tiffany. No.
Liam. Why not?
Tiffany. I don't sing in public. The worst could happen.
Elijah. Or, the best could happen.
Tiffany stared at both of them as they smiled at her.
Tiffany. No.
Elijah. I'm going to the bathroom.
Elijah got up and made his way to the bathroom.
Liam. Tiffany--
Tiffany. Professor, I'm not singing.
Liam. You're fantastic, though. What's the harm in just having
fun and letting your hair down for once?
Tiffany. Look, I'm not the singer. My brother is.
Liam. I heard your brother's last album. If you bothered singing
with just half the talent you have, you'd get twice the
notoriety. And it might impress your date.
Tiffany smirked and looked at Liam.
Liam. Between you and me, Elijah is fine as fuck, isn't he?
Tiffany. I am so not having this conversation with you.
Liam smiled as the Host got back on the microphone.
Host. Alright, y'all, next up we have a duo. Singing I'm So Into
You, we have the lovely Tiffany Woods and accompanying her on
guitar is Elijah Kingston.
Tiffany paused and looked up in shock as Elijah held his hand
out to her. Liam nudged her lightly and Elijah pulled her onto
the stage. She stood behind the microphone, picking at her
clothes.
Tiffany. Um...okay, I wasn't expecting to perform
tonight...somebody is going to hear about this later.
She looked over at Elijah as he smiled. Slowly, he started
playing. Tiffany closed her eyes nervously and took deep breaths
before the words escaped her mouth.
Tiffany. With every passing moment...thoughts of you run through
my head...
She continued the song, feeling her mind release all doubt. Her
body settled as she sang. Slowly, she opened her eyes. No one
had left, and no one was throwing anything at her. She dipped
into the chorus and her eyes naturally met Elijah's.
Tiffany. I think you're truly something special...just what my
dreams are really made of...let's stay together, you and me,
boy...there's no one like you around...[/center]

Elijah smiled at her as he continued to play her back up. She
turned back to the crowd and began to vibe with the crowd as
they vibed with her. It was good to see her really relax and let
her guard down. He enjoyed seeing her open up. As the song
wrapped up he let the sound of the guitar fade out as he stood
up walking to the front of the stage next to her. She hit the
remaining notes a capella. When she opened her eyes he was
standing next to her. She smiled hard as the entire bar rose to
their feet applauding.
Elijah also joined in with the clapping as Tiffany bowed
slightly. Soon they were exiting the stage and were back at
their table.
Elijah. That was legit Tiff. You was great up there..
Tiffany. Who told you to sign me up? I told you I didn't want to
do it..
Elijah. I know... And I heard you.. But you killed it...
They both paused at the waitress returned with their drinks.
Waitress. Hey.. That was a great performance girl.. One of the
best I've seen on that stage..
Tiffany smiled at her.
Tiffany. Thanks..
The waitress left both of their drinks and walked off as Elijah
looked over at her.
Elijah. See... You was great.. Why don't you like singing?
Tiffany. Dont you think you should have started there?
Elijah thought about it for a moment and shrugged slightly as he
sipped his drink.
Elijah. I believe in facing shit head on.. But tell me.. Why
would you wanna keep that talent hidden?
