Diamond's Pov

As i fixed my hair into a ponytail, i looked over my outfit. I was wearing....

A Purple It's My Life woman's tank top

Black Jogging pants

And Black Nike Dunk Hi AC TZ

I went downstairs and sat on the couch beside my mom to wait for chase

Mom: So where are you going?

Me: on a date

Mom: With who?

Me: Chase

《Car Horn》

Me: Well mom, i gotta go that's Chase now (Gets Up)

Mom: Diamond Sit back down

I sit back down as she gets up and makes her way to the door. When she gets to the door she opens it and yells "Boy if you wanna take out my daughter you better come and knock on this door". Then slams the door shut. A few seconds later Chase Knocks on the door.

Mom: Who is it?

Chase: It's Chase

My mom opens the door and lets him in

Mom: What, no flowers?

Chase: Uhhh

Mom: What kinda person goes on a date and doesn't bring a girl flowers

Me: mom, leave the boy alone

Mom: ok ok, so when you guys coming back?

Me: I dont know, just dont wait up

Mom: Diamond Elizabeth Brown

Me: 12:35 ish

Mom: alright, yall is lucky winter break started

Chase: oh yah, Diamond, grab a water bottle your gonna need it

Me: ok

Mom: OH LORD JESUS, HE WANTS TO DEHYDRATE MY BABY

Me: (Grabs a water bottle) mom, will you stop?

Mom: alright alright I'm done

I grabbed my bag and keys, and said bye to my mom.We walked out the house and as i started closing the door my mom shouted "Use Protection". Oh Gosh.

We walked over to his car.Mazda RX9. He walked over to his side of the car and waited for me to get in.

Chase: well aren't you gonna get in

Me: Did you open my door?

Chase: Your one of those girls?

Me: See you later Chase (Starts walking back to the house)

Chase: Wait...

He comes out of the car and goes to my side and opens my door.

Chase: Your chariot awaits ma lady

I laugh, then enter the car. Maybe this date won't be so bad after all. He closes my door then enters the car. He starts the engine. As he drives the car is silent.

Me: Your cars really nice

Chase: isn't she?

Me: She?.... wait, please dont tell me your one of those guys

Chase: yup, and whats wrong with being one of those guys?

Me: Next thing your gonna tell me you named "her"

Chase: Don't talk about Gracie like that

Me: oh gosh

Chase: it's okay gracie, shes just mad because her car doesn't have an amazing name like yours

Me: My car doesn't even have a name

Chase: See, Jealousy

Me: Whatever

Chase: awwwe, dont be mad, how about we name your car now

Me: later, can you turn on the radio?

Chase: fine

He turns on the radio and flips through the stations then stops at All Me By : Drake

Me: Ayyye this is my song

Chase: you know this song???

Me: Dont sound so shocked

Chase: goodie-two shoes, knows songs with swear words

Me: shut up and turn it up

He turned it up and I started rapping and singing

Me:

[Hook: Drake]

Got everything, I got everything

I cannot complain, I cannot

I don't even know how much I really made, I forgot

It's a lot, fuck that, nevermind what I got

Nigga don't watch that cause I

Came up, that's all me

Stay true, that's all me

No help, that's all me

All me for real

Came up, that's all me

Stay true, that's all me

No help, that's all me

All me for real

[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]

Money on my mind, you should think the same

J's on, pinky ring

Dogging these hoes, I need quarantine

In the same league, but we don't ball the same

Oh! She want all the fame

I hear that shit all the time

She said she love me

I said, "Baby girl, fall in line, " ok

Made a million, off a dinner

Fork, watch me switch it up

Walked in, "Ill nigga alert! Ill nigga alert!" (Damn!)

You need that work, I got that work, got bitches in my condo

Just bought a shirt that cost a Mercedes-Benz car note

From the A to Toronto, we let the metal go off

And my dick so hard it make the metal detector go off

This that sauce, this that dressing

Givenchy, nigga God bless you

If having a bad bitch was a crime

I'd be arrested (True)

[Hook]

Chase:

[Verse 2: Drake]

I touched down in '86

Knew I was a man by the age of 6

I even fucked the girl that used to babysit

But that was years later on some crazy shit

I heard your new shit, nigga hated it

Damon Wayans homie don't play that shit

I get paid a lot, you get paid a bit

And my latest shit is like a greatest hits

God damn

Ain't no wishing over on this side

Y'all don't fuck with' us and we don't fuck with' y'all, it's no different over on this side

God damn

Should I listen to everybody or myself?

Cause myself just told myself, "You the motherfuckin' man, you don't need no help"

Cashin' checks and I'm bigging up my chest,

Ya'll keep talking 'bout who next,

But I'm about as big as it gets

I swear ya'll just wastin' ya'll breath,

I'm the light skinned Keith Sweat,

I'm a make it last forever,

It's not your time 'cause I ain't done yet,

Look, just understand that I'm on a roll like Cottonelle,

I was made for all of this shit,

And I'm on the road box office sales,

I'm getting paid for all of this shit,

Ask you to please excuse my table manners,

I was making room for the table dancers,

'Cause if we judging off your advances,

I just got paid like eight advances, God damn!

[Hook]

Me:

[Verse 3: Big Sean]

HOE, SHUT THE fuck UP

I got way too much on my mental

I learn from what I've been through

I'm finna do what I didn't do

And still waking up like the rest do

Not complicated, it's simple

I got sexy ladies, a whole Benz-full

And to them hoes I'm everything

Everything but gentle

But I still take my time

Man I guess I'm just old fashioned

Wearing retro shit, that's old fashioned

Nigga, see what I'm saying, no closed caption

I paint pics, see the shit

Good sex, need to hit

Keep a bra on the floor

Year round like season tickets

I plead the fifth

Drink a fifth

Load the nine

Leave you split, in the half

Smoke a half, Need a zip

My new girl is on Glee and shit

Probably making more money than me and shit

I swear to God I got 99 Problems but a bitch ain't one

I got 99 problems, getting rich ain't one

Like I got trust issues

I'm sorry for the people I've pushed out

I'm the type to have a bullet-proof condom

And still gotta pull out

But that's just me

And I ain't perfect

I ain't a saint but I am worth it

If it's one thing, I am worth it

Niggas still hating but it ain't workin'

Lil' bitch

Chase:

[Verse 4: Drake]

Oh Me. Oh Me. Oh my. I think I done fucked too many women from the 305

'Fore the end of this year, I'll do King of Diamonds, three more times,

Smoking on that kush all in our section like it's legalized

Girl, you can't always have your way, sometimes it be like that

They don't really fuck with you like that, they ain't never did me like that

I just took my time, you got your shine, I let you eat like that

I been taught never to loan somebody what you need right back

And I need that shit right back (no more free Randy)

I'm blessed than a motherfucker,

Niggas been stressed than a motherfucker

Niggas gettin' nervous, clutchin' they chests like a motherfucker,

Damn that's a motherfucker

Tell the truth, I don't listen to ya,

'Cause I don't like being lied to

And that ship won't sail,

And that wind won't guide you

Daddy was in jail we was talkin' through the window,

Like a motherfucking drive-thru

That was back then man,

Now my niggas rich enough to do whatever I do.

At the end me and Chase started dying of laughter. It was weird but comfortable.

<20 Minutes Later>

We pulled up to a building that said "Community Dance Centre". Chase got out of the car and opened my door. I grabbed my bag and we made our way inside. As we entered kids who looked 13 or 14 were there stretching. I put down my stuff and some guy walked up to me and Chase.

Josh: Hey, My name is Josh, I'm so glad you guys came, I can't believe you actually volunteered to be there dance teacher

Me: Did what?

Chase: Actually I didn't, Diamond did

Me: I did what?

Josh: thanks Diamond, the students haven't had a dance teacher in the last 3 months

Me: no problem?

Josh: well I'll let you teach your class (Leaves)

Me: Chase, what did you do?

Chase: well I know you love to dance so I thought, hey, for our date diamond should teach a dance class and besides Nyesha showed me your 2015 bucket list, and this was #3 Teach A Dance Class

Me: Chase this is amazing, I love you right now (Kisses him)

Chase: If that's what I get for the dance class I wonder what I'll get for the rest of the date

Me: there's more?

Chase: yup, now hurry up you have an hour and a half to teach these students something

I kiss his cheek quickly then run off to wear the students were stretching.

Me: Okay students, I'm your new dance teacher

(Students cheer)

Me: settle down now, we only got an hour and a half so let's get started

I pull out my phone and make my way to the stereo. I plugged my phone into the aux cord and made a playlist of songs that consisted of.....

1. 1, 2 Step

2. Drop it low

3. Gyal a bubble

4. It won't stop

5. Love more

6. The Boys

7. Low

8. Drop That Nae Nae

9. Teach me how to dougie

10. Bubble butt

11. Talk Dirty

12. Where The Boys At

13. Baddie

14. Drop it like its hot

15. Snap yo Fingers

After continuous body rolls, doing the dougie, Cat daddy, pop lock and dropping and much more dance class was over. As I was grabbing my bag and phone one of the students came up to me.

Me: Hey Madison, what can I do for you?

Madison: um.. I don't get a part in the dance

Me: what part?

Madison: the pop,lock, and drop it

I put back down my stuff then bring Madison back to the dance floor and show her how to do it properly

Me: see you can do it you just gotta do more pop less lock

Madison: thanks, are you gonna be here next week?

Me: um..... You know what, yah I am

Madison: awesome, is it okay if I invite some of my other friends

Me: yah

Madison: thanks, see you next week

Me: see you next week

I pick back up my stuff and make my way to Chase who is sitting on one of the chairs looking at me.

Chase: so your coming back next week?

Me: Chasy, will you bring me here next week?

Chase: I'll have to check my schedule

Me: Whatever

Chase: I was talking to some of the guys who were walking past the centre and they said they would join if you can make up some guy moves, cause there not doing any popping or dropping.

Me: I just thought of the best idea ever, you should be the guys dance teacher

Chase: but that so much work

Me: please

Chase: no

Me: Chasy pweeease

Chase: nope

I brought my lips to his, at first he didn't respond but when he did I swear time stood still as our lips moved together sweetly making me forget how annoying he is. His soft, warm lips tasted like mint. I could feel him smiling which made me smile too. I pulled away, my forehead leaning against his.

Me: Please?

Chase: Yah sure, why not?

Me: Oh My Gosh, thank you,thank you,thank you

Chase: I hope you know we missed our reservations

Me: Awwwe I'm sorry, where were we going anyways?

Chase: McDonalds, like I was going anywhere with you looking and smelling like that

Me: (hits his arm) Shut up, you know you love the natural scent

Chase: it's alright, come on, were gonna go get mcdonalds then were gonna finish our date like I planned

Me: okay

We walked to the car and he opened my door like always and I entered. He got into the car and drove to a mcdonalds drive thru

Chase: Ima get you a Big Mac combo upgrade fries to a poutine, k?

Me: Awwwe your gonna spend all that money on me

Chase: please I gotta coupon by one Big Mac combo get one free and I have a coupon for a free fries upgrade

Me: Cheap ass nigga

Chase: this cheap ass nigga is feeding you, what kinda drink you want?

Me: That don't make it better, Orange Fruitopia

Chase: Whatever Diamond, with ice?

Me: No Ice

He put in our orders and after waiting for 5 minutes we finally got our food, but Chase wouldn't let me eat. He said I have to wait till we get to the last stop before I can eat. After about 5 minutes of driving we pulled up to a place with a lot of tree's. He opened my door again. I'm starting to hate this. And we walked through the trees for awhile in silence. Well technically silence in my head I was telling god if he doesn't kill me or try to kill me I will go to church every Saturday for the next three weeks. After walking for another 3 minutes we stopped in front of a breath taking view.

Me: where did you find this?

Chase: when I was 7 me and my mom got lost and some how we found this, so she told me when I find a girl I truly like and trust to show them this

Me: that's so sweet

Chase: but since my car (Gracie) couldn't fit through all these trees, you were the next best thing

Me: oh hell nah, I did not just come second versing a car

Chase: I'm just kidding babe, the things I wanna do to you wouldn't be legal with that car

Me: Watch it

Chase: okay okay, I'm sorry

Me: so you just come and watch the waterfall when your bored?

Chase: sometimes, This should be our secret spot

Me: yah that we awesome

Chase: can we eat now, I'm starving

Me: I thought you would never ask

When I looked down there was already a blanket and candles laying on the grass. We sat down and ate our food and after a half an hour of just relaxing and talking we got bored.

Chase: Hey Diamond

Me: yah

Chase: wanna complete another thing on your bucket list?

Me: What did you have in mind?

Chase: number 7

Me: ......NO, NO WAY, I didn't even write that Nyesha did

Chase: Come on, it'll be fun

Me: Chase Mathews, I am not going skinny dipping

Chase: why not?

Me: It's winter

Chase: besides that

Me: I'll get sick because I don't have a towel to dry off with

Chase: I have towels, come on please, if it helps I'll do it too and when you undress I'll turn around and close my eyes

Me: I don't know.....

Chase: come on, what happened to BadAss Diamond?

Me:....... You promise to turn around

Chase: yes

Me: fine.... On one condition, you have to come to church with me tomorrow

Chase: fine

Me: alright turn around

He turned around and I quickly undressed and jumped into the water, and to be completely honest the view of the waterfall from below it is amazing.

Chase: Are you done?

Me: yah

Chase: alright turn around I'm gonna change

Me: ok

I turned around and waited for him to come in. I turned around when I felt a splash near by. So for an hour or so me and Chase swam around talking relaxing just having fun. After that hour Chase made me turn around and he came out and changed and so did I. When we both finished we lied down on the grass and looked at the stars. It was silent but it was a comfortable silence. The ground was really uncomfortable so I sat up and rested against the tree. Right after I did that Chase came and put his head on my lap. For some reason I started running my hands through his hair, it was fun. After sitting there for a while he got up stretched then helped me up. When I stood up he dragged me towards the back of the waterfall. Slightly behind the waterfall was a tiny walkway and that's were he brought me to. When the walkway ended we were directly behind the waterfall. It was an amazing sight. Chase and I watched the waterfall in silence, watching the gentle eddy and flow of the waves as they rushed up the meet the shore. We were so close I could feel the heat of his body warm mine, could hear the soft whisper of his breath as he exhaled. I inched closer, and felt his hand encircle mine again. I looked up at him, his soft brown eyes already locked on mine. He ran his fingertips up my forearm, leaving a trail of goosebumps blooming in their wake. He brought his hand up to cup my cheek, his thumb running along the curve of my cheekbone. I nestled into his hand, feeling his warmth seep into mine. Chase leaned in, lips parting slightly, his eyes flitting down to rest on mine. His kiss was soft, but urgent. Our lips moved in unison as we went with the beat of the waterfall flow. We started rocking then ended up dropping into the water. When Chase bobbed up from the water he laughed then guided me through the water back to the grass. When we got to the grass he handed me my towel then we packed up and headed back home.

(At Diamonds DoorStep)

We both got out of the car and he walked me to my doorstep.

Diamond: I had a great time Chase

Chase: me too, we should do this again, soon

Diamond: yah

We both leaned in to kiss and as our lips brushed each other's my mom opened the door.

Mom: Whatcha doin?

Diamond: Seriously mom

Mom: if I didn't come when I did, who knows were it would've went

Diamond: like you weren't watching us from the kitchen window

Mom: I was n--

Diamond: mom I saw you

Mom: well it's my house, if I wanna spy I will spy

Diamond: later Chase

Chase: later diamond, later Ms. Brown

Mom: Chase

After she closes the door I go upstairs and immediately go shower. After I finish shower I check my phone and I have a text from Chase

Text convo

Chasyisfine: because it's the truth, Why did you put your name in my phone as Diamondissmexy?

The Next Morning·Nyesha's Pov

"Nyesha Jenkins, Congradulations you have been acepted into the WNBA and you get a 75,000 admission bonus"

《Dream Inturupeted》

"P-p-p-p-punch line Queen, no boxer though Might pull up in a Porsche, no boxster though"

I looked at my phone then pressed ignore. As soon as i put my head on the pillow Diamond bursted through my bedroom door.

Nyesha: what the hell

Diamond: You ignored my call, i could've been dying

Nyesha: but your not

Diamond: i could've, but i did come here for a reason

Nyesha: And what would that be?

Diamond: Were going to church

Nyesha: Have fun with that

Chase: see i told you she would say no

I look over to my door and see Chase in a black suit.

Nyesha: You got chase in a suit

Diamond: and he's gonna do a little preaching too.

Chase: Uggggh.......... Do you have to tell everyone?

Diamond: Yup

Chase: your so lucky like you

Diamond: i like you too

Nyesha: what happened to love?

Chase: Yah diamond, what happened to love, expecially after last night

Nyesha: What happened last night?

Diamond: He took me on technically 2 dates

Chase: that's not all that happened (winks)

Nyesha: Chase, what the hell happened?

Chase: i bought her food with a coupon

Dia&Nye: Cheap Ass Nigga

Chase: at least she got food

Nye: Y'all go downstairs so i can get ready for church

Diamond: okay

They left my room and i got up and went into the bathroom. After i bathed and did my hygines i came out in my robe and went straight to my stereo and put on "Stupid Hoe" but then i remembered it was sabbith so i changed it to "Hello Fear" by: kirk franklin, Nia showed it to me, i love it. I started dancing then i heard a light chuckle. I looked over at my closet and sure enough Dustin was sitting there staring at me with amusment in his eyes. Seeing dustin in my closet made my heart do flip flops, cartwheels, you name it my heart was doing it. But then i remembered im mad at him so with a huff, I turmed the music up louder than made my way to the other closet and looked for a church dress. I ended up picking........

Apt. 9 Gold Tone Teardrop Earrings

Fabiana Filippi Nut Cotton Cardigan Nubbie sweater

Glamorous Leopard Print Belted Dress

Miso Nude Acrylic Bead Bib Necklace

Giuseppe Zanotti Design peep toe pumps

Michael Kors Hamilton Large NS Tote Black Leather purse

When i stepped out of the bathroom Dustin was in a suit and DAMN did he look fiiiiiine. His black suit complemented his figure. When he looked at me, he didn't say anthing just stared.

Nyesha: Does it look bad?, should i change?

Dustin: NO.... i mean you look alright

Nyesha: whatever

Dustin: are you mad at me?

Nyesha: No, why would you think that?

Dustin: Because i was making out with mary in the hallway and you've been ignoring my phone calls all last night

The image of him kissing mary came into my mind and i felt a sharp pain come from my heart. I leaned against my wall and took a deep breath before i said the seven words that i really didnt wanna say.

Nyesha: Why do you care, were just friends

At first he looked a little taken back, then hurt but then finally his stupid smirk came back. He walked right up to me and put his hands on the wall a little under my head, so techicnically i was trapped.

Dustin: What if i don't wanna be "just friends"

With every word he leaned closer intill we were about 1 and a half cm apart. With him so close I couldn't think straight and all I wanted to do was kiss him like there was no tomorrow.Before my brain could register what was going on a wrapped my arms around his neck and put my lips on his. Just like last time it was Smooth and fast. I won over dominance so while kissing i moved myself off the wall and moved dustin onto the wall. Then I quickly pulled away and fixed my dress, and right before i left the room i yelled back "and dustin to answer your question, it would never work". When i went downstairs, Diamond and Chase were looking at me like i was an alien.

Nyesha: What???

Chase: nothing (laughs)

Nyesha: Seriously, what is it?

Diamond: Nye, are you sure that you and Dustin arent messing around?

Nyesha: yah, why?

Diamond: because..... You have a......Hickey

I run to the bathroom to check and sure enough on my lower neck was a Hickey. I left the bathroom and go back into the kitchen and Dustins sitting there eating cereal.

Nyesha: I'm gonna kill you

Dustin: What did i do now?

Nyesha: this (points to hickey)

Dustin: i see, some of my best work

Nyesha: you have five seconds

Dustin: wait.... technically were even

Nyesha: how do you figure that?

Dustin: did you know you like to "move" while you kiss

Nyesha: move?..... oh move

Dustin: yah, so trying to control you, my urges and a boner is hard work

Nyesha: wait...... boner?

Chase, Diamond and I start laughing while dustin gets mad and goes back to his cereal. After about five minutes me and diamond go upstairs to pick out a dress for her to wear.

Dustin's POV

Dustin: So hows you and Diamond?

Chase: Good, Ima ask her out?

Dustin: when?

Chase: I Don't Know

Dustin: Well Diamonds fine, so you better ask her out quick

Chase: i know but i want it to be special

-Text Tone-

Text convo

me: Hey mary

Mary: Hey Dustin, wanna come over?

Me: Can't going to church

Mary: It'll be really quick and this way you can get an early church blessing ♥♥♥···♡♡♡

Me: I'll be over in 10

Mary: I'll be waiting ♥·♡

Text convo over

I told Chase I was gonna meet him at church because I needed my "early blessing". I think he got what I meant because he kept saying "Ewww man" and "Oh Lord Jesus he's gonna get his freak on then come visit you". I smacked the back of his head and right as I was gonna leave Nyesha and Diamond came down. And Nyesha still looked breath taking.

Nyesha: Ready?

Chase: Dustin's gonna be a little late to church

Diamond: Why?

Dustin: I have to go get something from Mary's house

Nyesha: ok, and Dustin?

Dustin: yah?

Nyesha: use protection

As she said that a look of disappointment, anger and hurt flashed between her eyes before it was covered up with the look of Annoyance. As we all starred at her with disbelief that she would just say that she grabbed her keys than left the house.
