True's face balled up at the sight of Brooklyn, holding a bouquet of flowers as he stood outside the bedroom door. "What the hell is this?" A smile crept across his face as he sucked his teeth. He held the bouquet a little tighter now. "Me sayin' Im sorry-you must've neva' got an apology before folks?" ⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢 True Chandler and Brooklyn Banks have spent a lifetime perfecting the art of tearing each other down. She's stubborn and unapologetic; he's arrogant and entirely too quick with his mouth. Put them in the same room, and someone is leaving furious. The trouble is, their mothers are inseparable-which means family cookouts, shared cars, and now the same college campus keep forcing them together. Worse, years of proximity mean they know every hidden scar, every fragile place, and exactly how to twist the knife when they fight. Then one argument crosses the line, just as a sudden family crisis packs True and her mother into Brooklyn's spare bedroom. Living under the same roof makes hiding impossible. Between late-night halls, pickup basketball, and the weight of what they refuse to say out loud, the anger they've carried for years starts to shift into something far more dangerous. They've spent forever convincing everyone-including themselves, that they hate each other. Living together might finally prove how wrong they were.

"Why ya'll keep calling her rosy?" Courtney raised his eyebrows, a bit amused. Jayah laughed just thinking about it. She looked over at her sister who had the same silly smirk on her face. "Because her cheeks get all rosy when she sees you."

"𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞..." Trinity knew that love wasn't easy. She had witnessed it before. She saw the ache it brought, the consideration it needed and she knew the toll it took on a person mentally. The girl had vowed herself that she would never fall in love. She didn't need a reason to grow resentment. But sometimes, when done right, love didn't look like its expectations. Sometimes, it came slowly and forcefully in a way that you just can't stop. Her grandmother had always told her that one day she would meet someone who would sweep her off her feet. Trinity laughed. Told her that would never happen as long as men kept giving her reasons to think the opposite. But when the right person comes, they will give you a thousand reasons to love them even when you try not to. 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝟐 𝐎𝐅 '𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄' 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒
