As she was about to enter into New York Penn Station, she heard, "Damn you didn't even know you was gonna see me today, so why you smiling like that?"

Remembering the voice she got an instant attitude
, turned around and quickly stated, "No one is smiling at your ass, you better be lucky I don't push your ass like you pushed me!"

"If I could remember clearly, I didn't push you. I ran into you and it was definitely an accident, stated Murder, but that
ain’t what I’m here for. I was trying to catch up to you and give you something."

"You don't have
anything to give me, but nice try,” said Brielle.

"Well I guess I shoul
d go return this little iPhone because I damn sure don't need another phone" Murder said, handing Brielle the new iPhone 4s.

"OMG how did you get this? This phone doesn't come out for another 3 months!" said an excited Brielle.

"It doesn't come out for another 3 months for normal people, but when you a boss like your boy, anything is possible," said a cocky Murder. 

"Well thanks for the new phone since you broke my old one,” said Brielle ready to go inside Penn Station.

"That's nothing Ma. I could give you so much more. If you gave me a chance," Murder stated.

"Thank you, but I'm good. Again thank you for the phone. I appreciate it.” Brielle stated as she was walking through the doors of Penn Station leaving Murder intrigued to find out more about this girl.

Later on that night,
Brielle was sitting in the driver seat of her brand new Summit White Camaro when her iPhone decided to ding, indicating an awaiting text message. "Aye Danni, can you please see who that is?" Brielle said to Danielle since she was driving while her, Chloe, and Shanice were on their way to pick up Sabriya.

"Um, girl who the hell is this new nigga you’re talking to and why does he think you look like a perfect angel that he will surely marry today if you would let him?” teased Danielle.

"Girl stop playing and read the damn message,” laughed Brielle

"I'm dead ass serious. Look Sha and Chlo, tell her" said Danielle
showing them the message.

"She is not lying," said Sha and Chloe in unison.

"Text back and see who it is,” said Brielle

"Girl you late, I already did that and why you messing with some nigga name Murder. Can't leave the hood boys alone, huh?" teased Danielle sending Murder a text back.

Brielle sat in the driver seat thinking about that name. She didn't know anybody named Murder. Shit she only had this phone for a couple hours. She didn't have a chance to give anyone her new number, not even her best friends. Shit no one even realized she had the most anticipated phone but … oh damn, the nigga who bought it. But how? When could he have? No, it couldn't be.

Danielle interrupted her thoughts and said, " Bitch how you gone let this nigga buy you a new iPhone and then forget about him? You got it like that huh?’

"First of all, he bought this phone because last week when I was on my lunch break. He ran into me by accident and shattered my phone on both sides and I told him the only way he could help me is by buying me a new iPhone 4. Then he asked for my number but I turned him down and told him to forget it. Then when I was at the train station today, he magically appeared with this and the rest is what they call history. However, I didn't know he had my number. So I don't know what is going on,” explained Brielle.

"Well that sounds good, I'm calling
Briya to tell her that we are around the corner and to come outside. I'm ready to party and the 40/40 club is calling my name,” said Danielle.

Brielle pulled up to Sabriya's house and thought to herself that was too easy. Danielle was the loud mouth out of the group. Whenever she discovered something, she wouldn't let you hear the end of it until something new happen. As Sabriya hopped in the car, Brielle let it go for now, but she was sure she would he
ar more about this later. 

After 30 more minutes of driving, the girls finally reached the 40/40
club in Atlantic City. After the girls got out the car they noticed that the line was extremely long. Brielle got frustrated because she was one of those chicks who just simply didn't wait in lines. Just as Brielle was about to suggest that they hit another club in Atlantic City, Danielle said to the bouncer, "Our friend Murder told us to come to the front door and ask for James. Are you James?"

"Yes, I'm James and I've been told that you are to be taken care of. Here's your VIP bands ladies and enjoy your night. If you need anything just let me know", said the bouncer.

"Thank you! We will. Lets go party ladies" Danielle yelled.

Brielle was confused as to what just happened but she didn't say anything until she got to the VIP Section and saw Murder there with a group of his friends popping bottles and laughing.
 

"Danielle, what the hell did you do?" Brielle yelled.

"Girl I was texting him from your phone and after I told him I was one of your best friends and we were headed to Atlantic City, he said we should come party with him and his team. Then when I told him that you would kill me he said, don't be the reason why true love won't get its chance between y'all! What the hell was I suppose to say?" said a laughing Danielle.

"Girl this shit is not funny! We don't even know dude. He could be crazy and you got us trying to mingle with him,” said Brielle.

"Crazy ain’t the word people usually use to describe me but I'll let you know now, I'm not crazy but I ain't to be fucked with. But you don't have to worry about that. You're my future wife so you’re good!" Murder said smiling while interrupting the friend’s conversation.

"Well to be completely honest with you Mr.? What is your name? And please don't give me Murder because I know your mother did not name you Murder,” said Brielle.

"You’re right. My mom didn't name me Murder, she named me Jaiden but, everybody else calls me Murder,” said Murder.

"Well Jaiden, you seem like a good person and all but I really don't know you like that. You're a stranger to me, so for me to trust that you’re not crazy is asking a lot of me," Brielle offered.

"You’re right ma! But strangers are just friends and lovers you haven't met yet," smiled Murder.

"I guess your right, so lets start over. Hi my name is Brielle”, Brielle said sticking her hand out for Murder.

"Wassup ma! My name is Murder, he said pulling her in for a hug, but you can call me Jaiden" 

That night Brielle
and her girls partied until 4am with Murder and his boys. Afterwards they went out to breakfast. Murder and Brielle found each other very attractive. After that night they became friends and started texting and calling each other daily. Six months later, their friendship blossomed to an inseparable relationship. 

That is until 2 and
a half years later, when Murder decided to test the waters and find comfort with other women. So what’s done in the dark must come to the light. The chicks Murder decided to step out on Brielle made sure she knew right after that she wasn’t the only one. So after one month of thinking, Brielle finally found the courage to leave Murder and his cheating ass in the past.  

Reminiscing about
their three-year relationship made Brielle emotional, but like her best friend Sha always told her “If your nigga keep playing, change where you’re laying.” She knew deep down in her heart that she was definitely ready to move on and that’s just what she did. She went out and enjoyed her girl’s night out and while she partied, Murder didn’t cross her mind not once.

Chapter 2

“He looked like the man I've always dreamed about” -Brielle

             
It was nine o'clock on Saturday morning when Brielle's phone started ringing. Brielle was pissed off; she was supposed to turn her phone on silent after she got in the bed early this morning, but she forgot. Brielle looked at the screen and saw it was Danielle calling. She turned the phone over and put her favorite pillow over her head and dozed back off. 

             
Thirty minutes later just as Brielle was getting comfortable in her sleep, she heard Danielle's voice. "I know this chick heard me calling her," screamed Danielle to Chloe and Sha. Brielle thought to herself, Ugh! I have to get my damn spare keys back from them. Brielle rolled over and was greeted by smiles from Chloe, Shanice and Danielle. Sabriya was in the kitchen making her own set of noise.

"Damn, y'all smiling like we didn't just get in the house at 5 o’clock this morning," an annoyed Brielle reminded them.

"Girl, we will sleep when we are dead! It's time to get dressed so we can have a girl's day," said an excited Sha. She was really happy that Brielle finally got rid of Murder's cheating ass because she deserved so much more. Sha never really liked Murder, she just put up with him on the strength of Brielle. There was something about him that she disliked from the very first day she actually met him. He was flashy and cocky, something Sha never liked. 

"Ugh. I just want to go back to sleep for 2 more hours"

"No bitch get up, it's time to go," demanded Danielle.

"Yes Bri, time is money. So it's time to get up, so we can spend some money," Chloe yelled.

"I'm up. Damn are y'all happy now," Bri said while sitting up in her bed. "These bitches," she mumbled as she walked over to the bathroom to get ready.

"We heard that," the girls laughed while making themselves comfortable in Brielle's bedroom.

Five hours later, the girls had just about hit every store in Garden State Plaza. Brielle was extremely happy that she decided to come out with her girls. She finally got the three new Louis Vuitton purses that she wanted. She went crazy inside the Lucky Brand Jeans store. The jeans from that store always got her excited because she knew besides True Religion jeans, Lucky Brand jeans fit her the best. Each of the ladies had about ten bags from Louis Vuitton, Lucky Brand, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Swarovski, True Religion, Victoria Secret and Styles by S, which was Sabriya's clothing company. The girls were about to enter the Spa inside Garden State Plaza when some random young dude decided to grab Danielle's ass and after that it was on. 

"I know this nigga didn't just grab your ass, Danny," yelled Sha and Sabriya.

"Yes the hell he did, smack the shit out of him," screamed Brielle and Chloe ready to fight for Danielle.

"Look, I'm going to give you a pass, Danielle began, because its not everyday you see ladies that look like us. But the next time you ever think to put your hands on my ass, I promise I will fuck you up and you won't like it."

"Bitch you not gone do shit and y’all not even that bad," the bold young boy began, trying to show off in front of his friends. The boy was scared shitless, but he didn't want to look like a punk in front of his friends. He hoped he wouldn't have to get into it with none of these ladies because they looked like they didn't play games. 

"Oh, so your young
ass wanna show out huh? I got something for that," said Brielle putting her bags down. She knew that she would have to step out of her character because usually she always had to. Brielle knew she and her girl’s looks mesmerized most niggas and chicks. Everywhere they went they had to deal with jealous chicks and thirsty niggas, she couldn’t blame them because all of her best friends were simply gorgeous. 

             
Danielle was light skin, had black hair with blonde highlights that stopped at her shoulders. She had the body of a video vixen; she had the shape of an hourglass standing at 5'9. Shanice was brown skin, rocked the baddest short haircut you've ever seen. You never saw Shanice wear the same style as anyone else. She had crazy style and she was unique. She stood at 5'8. She was the reasonable one of the group. Chloe was the baby of the group. She wasn't the baby based on age, but she was the baby of the group because she was all of the other girl’s weakness. If Chloe was crying, the girls were ready to throw on sweatpants and whop a bitch ass or a nigga. Chloe was 5'6, she had a X-Shape body and she attracted dudes anywhere she stepped. She had the prettiest greenest/grey eyes you've ever seen. Looks were deceiving because if you crossed her or pissed her off she would quickly show you why she wasn't to be fucked with. Sabriya was the lightest one in the bunch. She was Trinidadian so her hair was long and curly. She was 6 feet even. Sabriya was the fashionista of the group. Last but not least, Brielle was brown skin, long beautiful black hair. She had dimples so deep that people couldn't help but want to stare at them. She had hazel eyes that stood out instantly if you looked at her. Brielle was the shortest one in the group, standing at 5'4. Brielle was the girl in the group that had been through the most. She had no tolerance for disrespect from nobody. 

             
Just as Brielle raised her hand to slap the shit out of this little boy, she heard "it's cool miss, I got this lil nigga." Where ever this voice was coming from Brielle was trying to see the face of that beautiful, yet deadly voice. When he finally appeared, Brielle had to catch her balance because damn did he look good. He looked like Brielle's dream man. He was 6'6, brown skin with the deepest waves she had ever seen. He had matching dimples that just made his smile the best she had ever seen. He had muscles for days; he could have easily been mistaken for a football player. But what made Brielle take another look was he had the most mesmerizing eyes she has ever seen. They were light brown completed with the perfect eyelashes.
