Desire: dəˈzī(ə)r
"a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen."
Ever wanted something that you know you can't have and the more you can't have it the more you want it?
"I want her and I'd give anything to have...
Uh, yeah sure just one more and you can bring my tab." He smiles at her. After a long day of writing and recording for my album I needed to kickback with some alcohol and boneless wings. So instead of going to some top notch joint I took my ass to Applebees.
"Jermaine?" A voice called. I took another shot, turned around and seen a familiar face standing behind me.
Heather? Hey how have you been?," We hugged
"Great! I'm opening another nail salon right here in Fayetteville." I knew you would be successful," I told her
I should be saying that about you Mr.World wide double platinum with no features," Heather smiled
So you here with your man? Or waiting for one?," Jermaine asked
Im waiting for my ex.. He and I are trying to work things out," Heather said. The two continue to talk until Heather's ex walked up to the bar. Heather? Who is this?," The guy walked up to her
My friend from around the way. We were....
You can go now I'm here," He said. Hold on now I don't know what the fuck they got going on but don't put me in the middle of drama bro! I hate it.
Don't talk to my friend like that," Heather Defended me
You must be sleeping with him? See," He laughed. I knew you were nothing but a whore," Her ex added and threw a drink at her. After I seen that I turned hum around and we squared up. I beat the shit out of his ass and finally the manager threw him out.
I'm gonna head home. It was nice seeing you Jermaine," Heather stood up. "Wait instead of going home let's go back to my house and kick it like old times".
... alright I just need to grab a few thing from the crib. Text me your address," The two swapped numbers ... Heather
"And girl he shows up trying to get buck thinking I'm sleeping with Jermaine! So Jermaine whooped his ass"
I was on the phone with my sister all the way to Jermaine's house. When I pulled up I punched the code in that he gave me and the big gates opened.
"Welcome to mi casa"J opened the door smiling. "What's that In ya hand?"
Oh it was a box sitting in my garage with your name it on so I figured it was something from school. Look at it when you get a chance".Heather said
He took the box from me and sat it on the table
Nice place," I simply said as I looked around. Now the Jermaine Cole I knew back in high school was NOT this clean. Where is your wife?," Heather asked
Excuse me? I don't have a wife," Jermaine said as he pulled out a sandwich bag full of blunts.
Girlfriend? Baby momma? Boyfriend?," Heather said making a list
Heather, I'm single. Why do you even care? The Heater I knew in high school was NOT this concerned about my relationship status. You gotta crush on the boy Heather?," Jermaine laughed
J, don't nobody want you," We laughed as he offered me some smoke.
The two grown ups say there smoking and talking. Once the munchies sat in they ordered dominos and sat on the porch waiting and enjoying the night weather.
You remember that song you wrote back in 10th grade?," Heather asked
"Shawty, I done graduated college and made 10 double platinum albums I don't remember. The one that said something about math class?"
She nods. Jermaine got quiet and his body sort of went stiff. "What about it?"
Who was that song about?," I asked him. When Jermaine first released the song I loved it. Played it everyday until my sisters and friends made me wonder if he was talking about me.
"Who you think it was about?"
"Now Jermaine you know me, you know I'm not scared to say it. Are you talking about me in the song?"
"I'm way too high for this shit"
"Think about the lyrics Jermaine". Heather took her phone out, went to apple music and to the playlist labeled "Cole Wrld🥶💙".
See..

"Man look Heather if it were about you I would have said it and plus if it was you don't feel the same way so whatever".
"I'll see you later Jermaine"
I didn't protest to her leaving even though I didn't want her to leave. I walked her to the door and watched her drive off. Soon as Heather left minutes later the pizza man came.
I was now at the table eating when I remembered the box Heather had brung over. When he opened the box it was full of stuff from high school that I'm assuming Heather never threw away.
Ah shit this that book I used to write in," I laughed to myself
The first five pages was what was supposed to been math notes but when I got to the sixth page I seen the lyrics to Wet Dreams ...
