The food soon arrives and, after going over more arrangements, Derrick, Colin, and Arianna eat.  Shortly after finishing her meal, Arianna receives a whisper in her ear from Jennifer, who asks if she can speak to Arianna for a minute. The 21 year old doesn't bother dismissing herself, due to the fact Colin and Derrick are invested in their own conversation, and simply follows Jennifer into the other room.

"What's up?" Arianna nervously asks, stuffing her hands into the robe pockets.

It's only then that Arianna notices the tote Jennifer has in her hand. "Here," she reaches the bag to Arianna.

Arianna cautiously takes the tote from Jennifer, "What is it?"

"Look inside," Jennifer smiles softly.

Arianna glances at Jennifer and then the bag before slowly prying it open. Inside the tote, she finds clothes. She spots two bras, three pairs of panties, and a geometric patterned maxi dress.

"When Colin text me and told me what happened, I figured you'd be in need of clothing." Jennifer explains. "I wasn't too sure as to what size you wear in terms of clothing, so I just looked at Colin's track record of the type of women he likes, and guessed."

Arianna notices the Victoria Secrets tag still on the undergarments and the other expensive brand name tag on the dress.  "Wow. Thank you." The young woman smiles gratefully at Jennifer, pulling out the 36D bra and medium sized underwear, along with the dress. Closing the bag back up, she reaches it back to Jennifer. "I really appreciate it. You shouldn't have though. I'll pay you back as-"

"Nonsense," Jennifer waves off her offer. "Keep your money hun. I don't need it. Besides, consider it a gift."

Looking down at the clothes in her hand, Arianna is genuinely shocked by Jennifer's thoughtfulness. She's not used to people doing such nice things for her, and especially without having to give something back in return. It's a strange feeling to her.

"Well, I'll leave you alone so you can get dressed." Jennifer says, taking the tote from Arianna. "Call me if you need anything."

"Okay," Arianna replies. "Thanks again."

Jennifer just nods, before disappearing out the room, closing the large doors behind her.

Smiling to herself, Arianna grabs the clothes and heads into the luxurious bathroom.

She takes another shower, pretty much repeating her routine from earlier that morning. After slipping on the bra and panties, she performs her hygiene routine, and pulls on the dress. Smoothing her fingers over the fine material and admires how it clings to her body. She pulls her hair up into a messy bun and throws the robe into the laundry hamper. Exiting the bathroom, she starts searching around the room for her purse, clothes, and shoes. After finding all of the objects, she gathers them in her arms and enters back into the living area.

"Okay, I'm-"Arianna stops, when she notices the shocked look on Colin and Derek's faces. "done....." she trails off, wondering what's wrong with them. "What's up with ya'll?"

They both remain silent before looking off into the distance, with their faces slightly red.

"Nothing," they mutter, coughing awkwardly.

Arianna looks at them both strangely, before shaking her head and walking pass them to go sit on the sofa. Unbeknownst to her, the two men eyes stay glued to her figure as she walks away.

"I'm gonna go....uhh....get ready...yeah." Colin announces, retreating to the room and closing the doors.

"Where's Jennifer?" Arianna asks, noticing the woman's absence, while pulling on her shoes.

"She went to go check ya'll out and get the car ready." Derrick answers, walking over to go sit on the chair, opposite to Arianna.

"Oh," Arianna's mouth forms into a perfect ‘O' and the two sit in silence. "So do you also play football?" Arianna questions, annoyed with the awkward silence. Derrick's jaw drops. "What?"

"You're....you're kidding right?" Derrick asks, with a laugh threatening to erupt from his mouth.

Arianna eye's move from side to side, trying to figure out why he thinks she's joking. "'No..."

"You don't know who I am?" He points to himself, as she shakes her head no. "Derrick Rose? All Star NBA player for the Chicago Bulls? 2011 MVP winner? The only other person on my team who won that award as well being Michael Jordan?" As he continues with his questions, Arianna continues shaking her head no. "How can you not know who I am?" He yells slightly, pure shock gracing his handsome face.

"I don't really follow sports," she answers simply. "Which is rather sad considering I-"

Jennifer arriving back into the room causes Arianna to stop mid-sentence. "Good. You're out. Colin's getting dressed right?" Derrick and Arianna nod yes. "Good. Now here's what gonna happen now..."

ooooooOooooo

"I still can't believe you don't know who I am," Derek complains, much to the dismay of Arianna and Colin.

Arianna closes her eyes and bangs her head against her headrest, "Are you still stuck on that? Get over it dude! It's not that big a deal." She sucks her teeth, "Make a left here."

Colin shakes his head, as Derrick makes the turn. "Dude, she's not into sports. How many times do we have to explain that to your slow ass?"

"You don't have to be into sports to know who THE Derek Rose is," he shoots back. "Everybody know me," He says with a smug grin.

"I sure as hell don't," Arianna snickers, gazing out the window of the tinted, black escalade.

"Clearly you're a minority," he shoots back.

"Or perhaps you're the minority and have just let your ego grow so big that you clearly believe majority of the population knows who you are," Arianna says, in a boring tone. "Make a right here."

Derek sends her a glare through the mirror, while making the turn, "Smart ass."

She flashes a fake smile, noticing they've reached her neighborhood. "Turn into here," she instructs.

"Oxford Trace?" Colin questions.

"Yup," she pops the ‘P.' Turning in by the welcome center, Derrick is met with three separate security gates.

"Damn Arianna," Derrick chuckles. "You didn't tell us you had it like this. Hell, I don't even live in a gated community."

"Oh please, this place is as ratchet as they come. Now pull into the middle gate and type in 1234567890**" Both Colin and Derrick send her questioning looks.

"That's your security code?" Colin asks, uncertainty in his voice.

"No, but residents have to use the gate to the left of us and scan in a card; I don't have my card with me. This is the gate for visitors. Normally, you'd type in the code for our condo, 413, and it rings our home phone, and I'd either let you in or deny you access. Obviously, I can't do that now. So, we just have to use the hack code, which I just gave you." She finishes with a deep breath.

"O...kay..then," Derrick says, amusement in his voice. Rolling down the window, he types in the code. About a second later, the electronic voice says ‘access granted.'

"Great, now go to your left and go all the way around to the back. The first set of condos on your right is where we live." She explains.

"You keep saying ‘we' and ‘our,' do you live with somebody or something?" Colin finally asks a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"Yeah," Arianna answers, confused as to where his sudden change in attitude is coming from. "My roommates." Looking out the window, she sees the car she shares with Maya and Kaydence is gone. "Pull into spot 286B." Derrick parks the car and Arianna is the first one to exit, followed by Colin and then Derrick. "Follow me." She stops midway, when she sees her two neighbors, who live opposite her, sitting outside on the porch.

"Shit," she mumbles, turning towards the guys. "Look, just follow my lead. Don't say anything and don't make eye contact with them. Just act like they're not even there."

"Who?" Derek questions.

"Ms. Louise and Ms. Bell," she practically spits out, stealthily gesturing to the old woman.

"They're old women Arianna, how bad can they be?" Colin chuckles.

She rolls her eyes, "Just shut it and do as I say."

Resuming walking, Arianna and the guys are right in front of the walkway when she's caught by the old women.

"Afternoon Ms. James," Ms. Louise, calls out, adding emphasis on the ‘Ms.'

Arianna mouths ‘Fuck' before turning around and plastering on a fake smiles, "Afternoon Ms. Louise." She nods towards the other woman. "Ms. Bell."

"You just missed your friends Michelle and Kadyn. They left 45 minutes ago." Ms. Louise explains.

Arainna mentally rolls her eyes, "Thank you Ms. Louise. I know. I spoke to them not too long ago." She doesn't even bothering correcting her. She turns to walk by the door, but Ms. Bell calls out to her.

"You just getting back home now? You and that provocative dressing friend of yours left at 7 last night. She made it home before you, and Lord knows that girl is always creeping home in the wee hours of the morning."

"Yes ma'm," Arianna has to bite her tongue. "I'm just getting home now. I spent the night out last night with some friends."

"I bet you did," Ms. Louise says suggestively. "Who are your friends there baby?"

"Yes," Ms. Bell adds on. "Are they the ones you spent the night out with? Lawd child, times sure have changed. When I was coming up, it was considered indecent for a young girl like yourself to spend nights out with young men. You just didn't do it." She shakes her head. "I just don't understand you young folks. Having sex with this person, then that person, it's no wonder the teen pregnancy statistics are at an all-time high."

"Amen, preach."

Arianna balls her hand into a tiny fist, "If you'll excuse me ladies, I have to get going." She doesn't even give the woman time to reply, before marching up to the door. Jamming the key in, she unlocks the door, pulls Derrick and Colin in, before slamming it.

"God I can't stand them!" She shouts, locking the door.

"Are they always like that?" Colin asks, while looking around the condo. It's decent, not very expensive looking, but not cheap looking either. It's average.

"Unfortunately," she answers, with a sigh. "Make yourselves comfortable. I'll be right back." She scurries away to the back of the condominium, and in less than two minutes, is back with her cell phone charger. Walking into the kitchen, she plugs it into the wall and connects her phone. "Can I get you guys something to drink?"

"Naw, we're good." Colin replies, as he and Derek take a seat onto the sofa.

Arianna offers no response. Instead, she sits down on the stool and the kitchen and places her head in her hands. "Just ask me already."

Colin's eyebrows furrow in confusion, "Excuse me?"

"Don't play," she rolls her eyes. "You want to know why I told Jennifer I don't have any family."

A beat.

"I mean, I am a little curious, but you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"No, it's fine," she takes a deep breath. "I like to consider Maya and Kay my family, because they're like my everything. Through the good and bad, they've been with me through it all. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for them, but the truth is....I grew up in a foster home."

Arianna's admission is somewhat shocking to Colin, mostly since her comment about him being "one of the lucky ones" left him speculating she was somehow parentless.

Derrick, on the other hand, is shocked. "Damn," he mutters, shaking his head. "That's messed up. You are way too pretty to be given away." He suddenly rises from his seat, "Where's the bathroom?"

"There are so many things wrong with that statement, but I'm not going to even go there with you. Besides," Arianna scoffs bitterly, "I wouldn't say all that anyway. But, down that hall, first door on your right." 

"Thanks," he says, walking off.

"Yup," she says quietly, checking her missed texts on her phone from the night before. Majority of them, if not all, are from Kaydence and Maya. She sees Colin rise from off the sofa, and decides to get up from off the stool and turn around to get an Arizona Ice Tea out the fridge. She closes the door and turns towards the sink.

"You're wrong you know," he finally speaks, and Arianna can tell he's close to her. His voice sounding as if he's right behind her.

"About what?" she questions, rinsing off the top. She immediately tenses when she feels directly behind her, as his arms snake their way around her waist.

"You are pretty," his voice is low, sexy, and causes Arianna to bite her lip as a sudden warmness build in her core. His hands settle on her hips, as his fingers spin slowly, creating imaginary circles.

Reaching out to shut off the water, Arianna places the can on the counter beside her, and gradually turns around. She looks up at Colin, her eyes darting back and forth between his lustful glazed eyes and his extremely sexy lips. She licks her own lips, trying to calm her own lustful impulses that are dying to come out. The sexual tension becomes too much for Colin, and without hesitation, he swoops down to kiss Arianna. She's only surprised and hesitant for a seconds, before giving in and grabbing onto his shirt, pulling him closer to her. The kiss is forceful and passionate, but hot and heavy, at the same time. Colin, bypasses asking her for permission, and forces his tongue in Arianna's mouth. Oddly enough, Arianna is even more turned on by his aggressiveness.

Colin's hands move from Arianna's hips, and to her ass. She squeals in surprise when he gives, a firm, but gentle squeeze. That simple sound seems to entice Colin even more. He moves his hands to the back of her thighs and pulls her up on the edge of the sink. When the two finally break apart for air, Colin quickly attaches his lips to her neck. Meanwhile, he grows frustrated with the barrier her dress is creating between the two of them. Grasping the dress, he hikes it up her thighs. Wanting her to feel how hot he was for her, he pulls her into him. She releases a mixture of a moan and a gasp when she feels his growing bulge at her soaking womanhood.

The two are so caught up in the moment that they don't hear the two voices coming from outside, or the key that's being used on her door, or when the two people enter.

"I don't care how nice the car is! I want whoever that...that...bastard is to get his car the hell up out of my-WHAT THE HELL?!" Maya stops, at the sight of her roommate and a strange man about to get it on in their kitchen.

Colin and Arianna quickly pull away, both of their faces flushed and their lips swollen.

"Arianna?!" Kaydence's eyes go wide as she realizes who the man is. "YOU'RE COLIN FUCKING KAEPERNICK!"

"Arianna, what the fuck is going on?!" Maya shouts. "Why the hell are you about to have sex with a freaking celebrity, why is he even here, and....holy shit! Is that a wedding ring on your finger?!" She yells, pointing at the rock on her roommates finger.

"Yo, what's the Glade scent you guys are using with that plug in?" Derrick asks, finally emerging from the bathroom. "That shit smells so-" he stops, noticing the scene in front of him. "good." He clasps his hands together, while looking Maya up and down and licking his lips.

Kaydence eyes almost bulge out of her eye socket, "YOU'RE DEREK FREAKING ROSE!"

"Finally!" Derrick throws his hands up. "Someone knows who I am!"

And if things weren't going bad enough, Kaydence decides, of all times, to faint.
