the feeling they’re intimate with each other, maybe her husband or something.”

Dro sat with Alexa on his lap at the local bar one evening, his arms wrapped possessively around her.
“ I’m glad you’re here, baby,” he said. “I needed to see you.”
They’d been seeing each other semi-privately for longer than he wanted to admit. It was common knowledge she was his girl, but they hadn’t made a complete commitment yet.
“ I’m glad you can admit that to me,” she whispered, nipping his bottom lip.
“ Hey, I’m nothing if not honest, especially with you.” He watched her mull over his words and figured they were quickly heading off a cliff—a point of no return. Surprisingly, he was okay with that. He always knew they were destined to be together, but he hadn’t realized he would be anticipating that destiny with anything other than resignation.
After the debacle during her high school homecoming party, he had suggested that they continue to see other people with one stipulation—when he was in town, she was with him. Period. She’d had a stipulation of her own—the same thing held when she was visiting him on campus.
Over the past couple of months, he’d come to rely on her for more than just sex. Although they’d been close before, he’d never expected her to become his best friend. But they’d now reached the point where he confided in her and trusted her explicitly. She was quickly becoming the most important person in his life.
“ Where did you go?” she asked, running her fingers through his hair. “We should head back to your apartment.”
He sighed. No use in prolonging the inevitable. “Yeah, let’s get out of here.”
As she slid off his lap, he dropped a fifty dollar bill on the bar. She reached out, grasped his hand, and began pulling him out of the bar. When he heard a loud gasp and realized who had come up behind them, he groaned in frustration. This isn’t going to be good.
“ Hi Dro,” Melissa said then pointed at Alexa. “Who is this?”
“ I’m Alexa.” She held out her hand to shake Melissa’s. “Who are you?”
Melissa eyed her with an air of superiority, which Dro knew would infuriate Alexa. “I’m Melissa. And I believe I was talking to Dro.”
Alexa folded her arms over her breast. “You asked who I am, and I told you.”
Melissa sneered at her. “Listen, little girl, I don’t know who you think you are, but this is my turf. My family runs this town. And I’m talking to Dro, not you.”
Alexa glanced at Dro again out of the corner of her eye. “Dro? Can you get your little friend to leave before I do something I won’t regret?”
He jammed his hands into his pockets. “Melissa, what do you want?”
She smiled at him and placed her hand on his arm. “Who is she, Dro?”
“ She just told you who she was.”
Melissa snickered and turned to Alexa. “I’m sorry, little girl, but Dro is my man.”
“ Really?” Alexa turned to him. “Is that true?”
He prided himself on his ability to remain calm in any circumstance, but right now he couldn’t think of anything to say. Alexa was going to hurt the fool if he didn’t get her out of here. He motioned for Kendrick who was watching with amusement on his face. Ari and Lei joined them as well.
“ Well, Dro?” Alexa repeated. “Are you her man?”
He frowned. “What do you think?”
She turned back to Melissa. “I don’t know who you are, but I’m thinking it’s time you know who I am.”
Melissa smirked. “I could care less who you are. It really doesn’t matter. I run this place and I’ve had enough of you. Go back to the playground and play with someone your own age. Dro has his hands full with a grown woman.”
Alexa laughed. “You’re a regular comedian. I’m not going to argue with you about Dro. The clear fact is he’s leaving with me. It really doesn’t matter who you think you are to him.” She elbowed him in the gut. “I
