Khori was sitting out on the back porch of the beach house on Myrtle Beach. She and they guys had arrived there that Wednesday. It was now Friday morning, around 7 am. Khori didn’t know why she woke up so early; she was usually up at around nine or ten o’clock. She was sitting and reflecting on the past couple of days. She had her hair wrapped up in a fabric she found in Charlotte, her heavy sweat suit, with at knit blanket wrapped around her, and some heavy knit socks. She had her journal laid out and she was watching the sun rise. The sky was filled with red, yellow and orange.
“It’s beautiful this morning, but a little nippy!” She thought to herself. The house was right on the beach; it was a rambler with seven rooms. She remembered, when they all arrived, how they all were in awe of the house! It was spectacular! She could hear the waves lightly crashing on the shore and the wind was blowing lightly. It was about forty-five degrees on this February morning, but it was supposed to reach sixty-five degrees.
She turned the pages of her journal back to Wednesday’s page and she thought about what happened while reading what she wrote. She lifted up her head to stare at the sunrise again thinking about that day:
After talking with Gray, Damon West was sent off of the Dru Hill assignment! He stayed with them until Tuesday. She was glad that he didn't come along to Myrtle Beach. He and Nokio had reconciled, but they weren't friends anymore.
“That sorry bum!” She thought to herself. She didn’t say anything much to him after the Nokio incident.
When she thought she was free from drama, and then they came.
Gloria and Doreen, workers from the label, had arrived at Myrtle Beach on that day. They were with the guys at their brief stops in Raleigh-Durham and Greensboro, NC. They did some radio station interviews and in-stores in those cities. Every since Gloria arrived, she was always around Scola. Khori was upset, but what could she do. Scola allowed it. At first it took Khori a while to remember who she was. But she was the same girl that Scola was with in the elevator, when she first reunited with him at their album release party at the hotel. Gloria didn’t remember her also, until Kenneth introduced them.
Khori kept her distance from them. She was feeling a little jealous. She knew why she was there, to do a job. She wasn’t supposed to be trying to hook up with Scola. But it was definitely hard for her to absorb what was going on around her. Besides, she thought, she’s more prettier than me anyway. She looks like a mix of Gabrielle Union and Beyonce`. She was no match for her.
Sisqo noticed all that was going on. He knew that Scola wasn’t feeling Gloria in that way. But Scola was too nice. He couldn’t say no. Gloria was a kinda aggressive chick and Scola was the total opposite. He figured he could make his move on Khori, even though he knew that Scola was still feelin’ her.
Scola, on the other hand, was feeling smothered. He was trying to give her a hint to back off, but she wanted her way. Jazz had to step in when things got a little out of control. Jazz couldn’t stand her and she was too sneaky for Kenneth to catch her. Jazz thought she was the ultimate un-professional.

Sisqo, Scola, Nokio, Jazz, Woody, Gloria and Doreen were sitting in the den of the beach home and chatting. Gloria was once again up under Scola and he was just chilling on the couch. The movie, Wrong Turn, was about to start when they got on the topic of Khori.
“Yo where’s Khori?” Scola asked.
“She went with Kenneth to see about the wedding.” Woody answered.
“Oh word. I’ve been meaning to talk with her.”
“How can you with ol’ girl up under you all day!” Jazz smirked.
“Whatever Jazz!” Gloria replied. Scola gave a knowing smile at Jazz.
“I’ve talked to her. If you wanna know some info, you can ask me!” Sisqo said as he smiled.
Scola was fuming. “What’s up with ya’ll? Ya’ll been hanging out a little too much.”
“Oh yeah, and it’s been great!” Sisqo said sarcastically to Scola.
They stared each other down for a minute.
“Hold up, lemme grab the popcorn!” Nokio joked as he could sense something about to pop off between Scola and Sisqo.
“Maybe if you would stand up to ol’ girl Gloria—“ Sisqo glared at her, “Maybe you could’ve gotten a massage like the one she gave me!” Sisqo said sarcastically again.
“MASSAGE!” Scola said as his anger got the best of him and he stood up, pushing Gloria out from beside him. He totally forgot she was sitting there.
“What the h#$*!”
“Calm down man! She’s not your woman!” Woody said.
Scola glared at Woody. “So you want Khori too?”
“What if I do?”
“Hold up ya’ll! This is getting out of hand! I’m sure Khori has a good explanation for giving a massage to Sisqo.” Jazz said as he glared at Sisqo. Sisqo smirked at Jazz and then Scola.
“Sit down man!” Jazz said to Scola.
But this time Gloria was upset. “What’s going on Scola?” she asked him.
Scola sighed and looked at her. “Nothing.” He said.
“It must be something, because you got highly teed off when Sisqo said what he said about Khori.”
“He likes her! Can you catch a hint!” Jazz blurted out. His thoughts came out before he could control it.
Scola lightly smiled at Jazz.
“Is that true? Do you wanna be with Khori?”Gloria asked.
“I don’t know!” Scola lied. Sisqo smirked.
“You betta get your girl, cause I might make a move!” Sisqo said as he threw some of Nokio’s popcorn in his mouth.

“Hey wassup everybody and why is it so quiet in here?” Kenneth said as he Khori came into the den with a couple of bags of food in their hands.
“Nothing much.” Woody said.
“We got some good eatin’!” Khori joked. But when she came in the room, she could sense the tension.
Everyone was quiet and the movie was paused. All eyes were on Khori and she was confused. Kenneth was also.
Scola was staring at Khori. “Can I talk to you for a minute?” Scola asked her with a hint of anger in his voice.
“Yeah.” She said and she shrugged her shoulders.
Scola led her to the nearest room, which happened to be a bathroom. He closed the door behind him.
“Whassup?” Khori said.
Scola sighed again. “What’s up between you and Sisqo?”
Khori was offended. “I should be asking you, what’s going on between you and Gloria.
“Answer my question first.”
“Nothing.”
“That’s you’re answer?”
“Yeah. Why? I don’t have anything to hide!”
“Oh is that right?”
“Umm hmm…” Khori rolled her eyes.
“What about the massage?”
Khori sighed. “What about it?”
“So you gave him a massage?”
“Yeah.”
“Why Khori?” Scola said with a look of hurt in his eyes.
“I gave him one after he hurt his back when we were in Charlotte. I had a feeling he liked it a little too much!”
“So it wasn’t like, sexual or something like that?”
“No! I was trying to take some of the pain away. It worked a little too well!” Khori lightly laughed.
“Yeah, well, he likes you!”
“Sisqo, noooooo! You’re playin’!”
“I’m not. He said he may make a move on you.” Scola said with seriousness in his voice.
“Yeah okay!” Khori said as she sucked her teeth.
“I’m just trying to look out for you.”
“What? Look out for me! You need to look out for your girlfriend out there!”
“She’s not my girl, Khori!”
“Then why is she all up under you?”
“How can I explain this? Well, she’s a little aggressive and—“
“That’s no excuse! If you don’t wanna be with her, just tell her! Did ya’ll have sex or something?”
Scola held is head down in shame. “Remember when I met you at the hotel? That was the first time. It happened a few times after that. Those episodes were mistakes.”
Khori shook her head. “Have ya’ll done anything while she’s been here?”
“Sexual intercourse, no, but----“
“No don’t tell me!” Khori turned to leave out the bathroom but Scola pulled her back.
“I don’t wanna be with her, I wanna be with you.”
Khori could see it in his eyes that he really wanted her, but she wasn’t going to get herself involved with him after this incident.
“Look Scola! I’m not hear to be your toy, I’m here for a job. I don’t have time for this drama!”
Scola let her arm go and she stormed out of the bathroom, and went to her room, leaving everybody staring at her and Scola as they exited the bathroom. Scola walked past them and headed out the front door of the house.
__________________________________________
Khori’s mind headed back to last night when Sisqo made his move. She and Scola hadn’t said a word to each other since that disagreement.
Khori was laying on the couch in the den, when Sisqo came in. He sat down on the floor next to where her head was laying on a pillow.
“Whatsup, Girlie?” Sisqo asked.
“Looking at tv, nothing much else.” She replied. Khori’s eyes were getting heavy and she was dozing off.
Sisqo stared at her for a little while. He wanted to kiss her so bad. Sisqo finally became bold enough and he did it. She felt his lips on hers and her eyes fluttered open.
“You kissed me! You little sneaky man!” She joked.
“I couldn’t help it!”
She pulled a pillow from behind her and hit him on his back, repeatedly.
“Oh…I get a beatdown for a kiss! Are you telling me you didn’t like that?”
“No I didn’t! Khori lied.
“Ummmm hmmmm…..” Sisqo said as he licked his lips.
“It’s beautiful this morning, but a little nippy!” She thought to herself. The house was right on the beach; it was a rambler with seven rooms. She remembered, when they all arrived, how they all were in awe of the house! It was spectacular! She could hear the waves lightly crashing on the shore and the wind was blowing lightly.
