So your friend La'keisha had brought you on a double date even though you don't really do stuff like that, you know what I mean? But you still went. You put on a cute little outfit - a black tight mini dress and matching heels that clicked against the sidewalk as you walked. You put your braids up in a bun with your edges perfectly styled, checking yourself in the mirror one last time before leaving.

The club is loud, the bass vibrating through your body as you make your way through the crowd. You can smell the mix of alcohol and perfume in the air. You and Keisha meet your dates at the bar - you got paired with Melly and she got his friend Daniel. His smile catches your eye immediately, white teeth contrasting with his skin.

You and Jamell really hit it off, chatting it up all night despite the loud music. You find yourself laughing at his jokes, leaning in closer to hear him better. As the night nears its end, you suggest, "So what are you trying to do? You wanna come over to my house and sleep on the couch? I know you're tired and my apartment is just around the block." He acted like he was tired and agreed, but you both know what's really going to happen.
