"You look gorgeous." Amar said as he scanned Selah from head to toe.

She was dressed in a pink tight-fitted bodycon dress and lace-up stilettos that made her legs look defined.

"Thank you. You look handsome." Selah said as she gave him a soft smile.

"I like this look on you." Amar said as he pulled her in for a hug.

Selah wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.

They stood there for a moment enjoying the feel of one another's bodies before Amar finally broke away.

"Ready to go?" Amar said as he gave her a smile.

"Yes, let's go." Selah replied.

They were going out for dinner at an upscale Italian restaurant called Enzo.

Selah was really excited to go out with Amar. They had been dating for about a month now and things were going great. Amar was a great guy and she was really happy with him.

She had been looking forward to their date all day and she was happy that the weather was perfect. It was a bit cool but not too cold.

They rode hand in hand the whole way to the restaurant. Selah felt beautiful and excited as they made their way to their date.

Amar greeted the owner of the restaurant and they were led to their table.

The restaurant was air conditioned and Selah enjoyed the cool breeze that was blowing through the window.

Amar ordered wine and they began to talk about their day. Selah was having a great time and she was glad that things were going so well with Amar.

As they ate their dinner, Selah couldn't help but reflect on how happy she was. Amar was a great guy and she was really enjoying their relationship. She felt like they had a lot in common and she was looking forward to continuing to date him.

After dinner, they made their way back to Amar's apartment.

Selah was happy to be in Amar's company and she was looking forward to spending the night with him.

They walked hand in hand towards Amar's apartment and as they got closer, Dante was seen standing in front of his door with his arms folded.

Selah couldn't help but palm her forehead. Just as she thought her day was going good the drama itself found a way to ruin it.

"Hey, Selah. I was wondering if you wanted to come in for a little while." Amar said as he gave her a warm smile. Intentionally trying to make Dante jealous.

"Amar, I think something might be up. Dante seems a bit angry." Selah said as she looked between the two men. "What are you doing at Amar's door Dante?"

"I came to steal you back from this fuck nigga." Dante said as he looked at Amar before rolling his eyes.

Selah moved to stand between them she didn't want anything bad to happen. Dante was a hot head who hated being belittled.

Amar looked between the two of them briefly before he spoke. "You can't steal something that's not on the market. You had your chance youngin' move around from my door."

"Fuck you nigga! Make me move." Dante spat before pulling up his jeans. He was ready to fight.

Amar did just that swiftly before Dante could bat an eye. This infuriated Dante who then pulled out a pocket knife then swung trying to cut Amar. Little did Dante know, Amar was carrying. When he swung the knife again, Amar fired two shots, making Dante fly back and Selah scream from the noise and blood splatter.

Dante was at a loss for words as he lay on the ground trying to shake off the woozy feeling he got from being shot. He tried to stand up and charge Amar again but Amar was unfazed. He was standing on all ten figuratively.

What threw Amar off is when Selah rushed to Dante's side crying uncontrollably. Amar expected her to be by his side but got the shock of his life when she didn't. In that moment he knew she wasn't over Dante and felt Selah had used him as a rebound.

Amar walked away from the bloody scene disappointed. Selah had let Dante walk all over her and he was about to do it all over again if he survived.

Selah was devastated by what had just happened. Amar had been there for her when no one else had and she had been so grateful. Now she realized that she couldn't let him in because she still loved Dante.

She also hated that Dante had been able to interfere and ruin what could have been. Selah knew that she needed to cut all ties with Dante and never speak to him again. But in all seriousness she couldn't, she was stuck like glue and him being shot made her realize how much she missed him.
