LOVE & LOYALTY

Both men looked at each other in quick confusion. "He must have had a bad mix of drinks cause he was already sick and throwing up and left." Carmello was always a quick thinker. Anthony used to joke about him being a "ballerina" because he was always on his toes!

"Oh, Lon, you know this nice guy?" Alyse was bright eyed, happy to know that she didn't have to go through much more to get to conversate with this handsome work of art. She could ride her cousin's wave into his life. Hell, she needed something to take her mind off Terrence, her abusive ex that she finally left after he almost killed her back in Detroit. She had moved with her cousin to start fresh.

"Nice?? What did I miss going to the bathroom?" Londynn exclaimed. "These are Marcos's homeboys, Anthony and Carmello. Come on here, Girl! All the ballers over there! I'm trying to be seen since I can't ruin Marcos's night!" Londynn snatched Alyse and basically dragged her across the room.

"Damn, Ant! You forgot about Ebony once Londynn fine ass cousin came in. She had you drooling!" Carmello joked as Anthony stared at the beauty leave his presence. "But your boy, Marcos, why that fool lie to us and Londynn?? We boys......ain't shit to hide from each other!" "I know, right? He been acting real strange lately and for the past two weeks my money from the landscaping business has been off! You don't think that fool doing hardcore drugs, do you?" Anthony was still staring across the room at what he could see of Alyse. She seemed to still be watching him too with a bashful look on her face. It was something about this meeting, Anthony was having a hard time taking her out of his sight.

"Nah....but he sound like he on some snake shit though and I'm gone let you know now that I will kill that fool for being disloyal to me AND my bro!" Carmello had a thing for disloyalty and disrespect. He just refused to tolerate it and it seemed to anger him whenever people would break his rules on disloyalty or his trust! "All the shit we did for this fool. He better not even think about crossing us!"

"Naw, man. I'm quite sure he just trying to keep his new boo under wraps until they are established! You know Londynn always ruins what he got going! Besides my birthday is coming up, how do we know he not trying to do some type of surprise shit for me?" Anthony was always trying to see the best in his circle. He hated the thought of his brotherhood being disturbed. He couldn't fathom any of that going on in his circle anyway. He kept his eye on his prize for the night. He never usually let another woman catch his eye but he could not control what Alyse was doing to him. She must have felt the energy or Londynn's drunk behaviors were getting on her nerves because she broke away from the "baller" crowd and headed back towards Anthony. He tensed up as he watched her hips head his way.

"Hey Handsome. If I buy you a drink could you get it ordered. This place is packed," Alyse giggled and smiled a flirty grin. Lord knows she had no experience picking up guys. She couldn't tell you where to start. Anthony became in tune. She had a sense of humor too??!! What good quality didn't she possess. He chuckled. "What you drinking, Beautiful!" They locked eyes and just stared into each other's eyes. For a moment, they felt like the only two in the club. They basically were to Anthony! He generally didn't even look at women like that, especially after all the drama that came along with his last infidelity. He damn sure never conversated with them. He did not enjoy Ebony dragging on her nagging sessions about how much of a dog he was. But Alyse seemed different! Her almond shaped eyes were lit up with a sparkle, high cheek bones that gave her face more of a unique look, and dimples that showed off everytime she would flash that bashful grin, all made her face have a glow that Anthony could not just let walk away!

"Well, I see Londynn and your friend have decided to get better acquainted." Alyse pointed to the dance floor at Carmello and Londynn. Londyn was smiling and bent over dancing with a tight, short, red Balenciaga dress. She kept reaching to pull it down but was either too drunk or didn't really wanna succeed in getting it down her thigh. It was one of Alyse's old dresses and seeing as though she had smaller assets, it never really fit Londynn like it was supposed to. Her old boyfriend was a jacker back in Detroit, and always bought her nice things after they would fight. Carmello was saying something in Londynn's ear and whatever it was, she would giggle and lick her lips. Anthony was confused! What the hell was 'Mello doing?? What happened to loyalty? As the thoughts were racing through his head, Alyse ran her finger down his buttons and began to move her hips in front of him. She had such good rhythms and a perfect grind, not too hard, not too fast. Anthony had no choice but to grab her waist and live in the moment. Alyse looked back and smiled as she bent over and took it low on him.

Carmello and Londynn decided to take advantage of Anthony gazing into Alyse's eyes and slipped out the front door. Carmello had made it up in his mind that Marco was definitely up to something that was gonna make him wish he had drove Londynn bat shit crazy. By the time he was done, she would be able to control her wild and ghetto behavior and no longer have the desire to be the center of attention in Marcos's world. The way she was grinding on him and bending over, she had been wanting to give Carmello that ass. Carmello wasn't trying to fall in love but he sure did want to take control of Londynn's head just in case he needed her help with Marcos some time in the future.

"Hey! Have you seen Londynn or your friend?" Alyse looked around the club like a kid who lost their mom in a store. "They were over by those tables the last time I looked."

"No, I was so into trying to keep up with those moves you were putting on me. Knowing 'Mello, if they are both missing, they are not in this club and he in something else." Alyse giggled, "Well, I thought Londynn was riding home with me but I guess she decided otherwise. My feet are starting to hurt in these heels. I knew I couldn't stand up in these things, but I didn't know that I would be dancing all night." "Well, I would like to thank your pretty lil feet for carrying you so long". "Gosh you sure know how to move in those things-"

All of a sudden, Anthony AND Alyse phone rang at the same time! Anthony didn't reach for his so soon. He was not trying to interrupt such a memorable moment. Alyse answered her phone when she saw Londynn's name on her caller ID. "OMG......Alyse are you still at the club? I need you to meet me. I will be at the Red Roof Inn Room 112." Londynn frantically yelled into the phone, "Look, Terrence is here!" Alyse's eyes grew big, her phone slipped out of her hands. "What is it, Gorgeous? Is everything okay?" Anthony had a worried look on his face as Alyse started to pull back from him more.

"No. My crazy ex must have gotten ahold of Londynn, she's trippin!" Anthony immediately thought about Carmello. He checked his phone but it was ringing again!

It was Carmello!
