Harlee made it two blocks away from Joe's home , she stood on the corner with her arms crossed and tried not to seem too nervous because she didn't want to attract any unwanted guests. It probably wasn't wise to wander off , she could have easily contacted Nai but she didn't want to draw attention to her attraction to Joe . For a second she almost forgot why she was mad at him , all he did was discover a bruise and it wasn't that deep . Harlee hated admitting when she was wrong but it was better than her being surrounded by strangers , it wasn't difficult for her to find her way back to the party and she had to just play it cool around Nai and Rich.

She wiped her hands down her hips before heading back into the proper direction. It was getting somewhat chilly outside and she didn't have anything else to wear on her arms , she hugged herself to try and keep warm until reaching Joe's house . There appeared to be four people infront of her who may have been heading to the party as well so she decided to follow behind .

Meanwhile , Joe was having some alone time with Samira in his bedroom. Making out was inevitable but that was as far as they went for the time being " I miss this … and I know you do too " he stroked her chin " I'd be lying if I said I didn't … but Joe I know the type of person that you are … I don't mind kissing you right now cuz that's something you will always be good at … but you are not dealing with 16 year old Samira baby boy … I'm 18 now … so don't try and cross me boo " she giggled and rested her hand against his groin. " I saw that girl leaving your car .. you gonna tell me what's up with that or nah ? "

Joe smirked and nodded his head before leaning back " I already told you what it was , she's cute but she's ain't no lady like you … what your boys did to me that day … bloodied my mouth and bruised me up … nothing changed . I still want you , I gave up everything to you Sam … you are my weak point " he leaned in once more and took her lips . He tried so hard to create something passionate but the idea of revenge was getting the best of him , it was possible Samira felt it as she pulled away and shook her head.

" I'm sorry Joe … I know you better than any bitch you will come across in your life . I'm allowing you to move on … but don't ever try to insult me boo … my mama ain't raise no fool " she ran her hand up his chest and continued to tease him as he just kept into her eyes with a grin on his face . In her heart she knew that he wasn't phased by her threats but she was a rather good actress and kept it together . Samira kissed his cheek once more before leaving him be in his room . Joe felt satisfied , although Harlee running off threw his plans off he knew he could easily find someone downstairs to keep his plan in place.

Joe stood up and adjusted his outfit so that he could finish being a proper host , he sprayed on some more ralph lauren cologne before leaving his room.

A pleasant surprise awaited him once he shut his door . Joe's tune had changed once he took notice of Harlee waiting to use the bathroom , her back was to him and he was tempted to sneak up and then tease her about returning to the party.

Harlee waited patiently to use the restroom , the door opened and outcame a taller and quite beautiful young dark skinned woman who appeared to be bothered . She was absolutely stunning in Harlee's eyes , she was too intimidated by her appearance to notice the nasty look she had given her .

Harlee just smiled and went inside of the bathroom not realizing she had just crossed paths with Joe's ex girlfriend . Samira knew he was watching and slowly nodded her head as he grinned endlessly at her dissatisfaction . She smiled and lifted her bag on her shoulder , Samira sucked her teeth and had a few chuckles of her own before going downstairs to possibly leave his own.

Joe was pleased , this was better than his original plan. Making Samira jealous and having alone time with Harlee was exactly what he wanted , he wanted so many answers and although they were new friends he was rather curious about her relationship with Arjay .

The enjoyment running through his veins was out of this world when he saw the look on Harlee's face when she noticed him standing outside of the bathroom. She felt ashamed to some extent but it was probably better for her to be at the party , aside from that his smile seemed rather genuine and it helped her to relax.

" I know … I'm back …. and you are going to rub it in my face " she leaned on the door knob and shrugged as Joe approached her " Not really …. you alright ? " he asked .

Harlee tapped the knob and sucked her lips in briefly " I'm good … I didn't mean to run like that … I just had alot on my mind … I think you are a good guy Joe but we can't kiss again " she shook her head " If Arjay ever found out about it he would …. " Joe placed his index finger against her lips before cupping her chin " But you liked it … don't you think it's torture to think about my lips against yours every time you see me ? " he chuckled " Joe please … not here … can we discuss this later ? " she begged and lowered his wrist .

Joe took a step back and nodded his head " How about we go in private … my room is right there " he pointed in the proper direction.

Harlee could almost feel her heart tear through her skin , she placed her hand against her chest and licked her bottom lip . She could no longer trust herself around him especially alone and Harlee knew that he was definitely capable of talking her into his bed especially due to her anger directed at Arjay " That's not a good idea … I'm really sor- "

Joe gently kissed her soft cherry flavored lips to cut her off and briefly tickled her neck , anyone could have seen his bold move . Harlee tried to avoid eye contact and was soon taken by the hand " I just wanna talk to you for a minute …. " he licked his bottom lip and nodded .

Arjay was never this attentive and charming towards her and Joe's eyes seemed more welcoming with each encounter , she saw a human being rather than a player . Though they didn't know each other well Joe was probably the right person to vent to about the recent discovery of Arjay's side relationship . Nai would probably overreact and Kaleek would more than likely strangle him so Joe was probably the right choice " .. Okay … I would like that very much " she took a deep breath as he held her hand gently and lead her along.

Sorry for the long wait guys , I was so busy and I was in Cali for Mania :) but I am back ! Stay tuned !
