Season 1 - Episode 18
We resume our episode this week at the apartment of Kyle and Armani, where Kyle and his girlfriend, Stasha are having a romantic evening for two.
Stasha: Oh Kyle! I can’t believe you went through all this trouble for me!
Kyle: Of course! You’re my baby!
Stasha: Candles, wine, music! You really outdid yourself. I didn’t even know you could cook!
Kyle: You know it, girl! Your man has many talents! I made you my specialty, too!
Stasha (giggling): and what is that?
Kyle: Fajitas, baby! Nice and spicy! Just how I like my food...
(leans over to kiss Stasha)
Kyle………and my girl!
Stasha (smiling): Thanks honey…
Kyle: So what did you think about the game today?
Stasha: Oh honey, you were amazing!
Kyle: Did you see how good I looked out there today? I was on fire!
Stasha: You sure were! No one was even lookin' at Jeff!
Kyle: Now see, why did you have to go and bring him up?
Stasha: Oh sorry, honey. I wasn’t trying to damper the night. I was just trying to make you feel better.
Kyle: I know. I just can’t stand that lil punk. Let’s just not talk about him for tonight.
Stasha: Okay. Well what do you want to talk about?
Kyle: What I really want to talk about is you…
Stasha: Me? What about me?
Kyle: About how beautiful you are…….and how lucky I am to have you…..
Stasha: Aww Kyle, you’re so sweet…..
Kyle: It’s true. I really care about you, Stasha. You’re special.
Stasha: I care about you too, Kyle.
Kyle: I’m so happy that you are staying the night with me.
Silence
Kyle: Stasha…..you okay?
Stasha: Oh, um, yeah, I’m okay.
Kyle: Ok cause you got kinda quiet. But yeah, like I was saying, I’m so excited about waking up with tomorrow morning…..
Stasha: Oh um…..about that…..
Kyle: Yeah?
Stasha: Kyle I really love you and everything but I’m just not ready. And honestly, I promised my parents and myself that I would wait until I got married.
Kyle: But we are getting married! Just as soon as I make it to the league, I’m gonna make you my wife. You know that, girl.
Stasha: I know……..but we’re not married yet.
Kyle: But we will be. So what’s the difference between now and then?
Silence
Kyle goes over and takes Stasha by the hand.
Kyle: Stasha, you love me right?
Stasha: Of course I do Kyle. You know that.
Kyle: And you know that I love you too, right?
Stasha: Yes
Kyle lifts her face up to his and looks into her eyes.
Kyle: So let me show how much I love you, Stasha…

At the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity house, Brendon and Deniece take their things and begin to walk toward their car. Sharonda is leaving with Deniece as well. Ahmad has confronted Brendon about marrying Deniece after his twin brother Brandon dated her first.
Miya: Ahmad! What you do that for! Why you do that!
Ahmad: I aint gonna just stand around like yall! I care about my line brother Brandon and this is wrong! He stabbed his twin brother in the back and yall actin’ like aint nothing wrong with that! Both of them stabbed him in the back!
Miya: That aint your business and it aint our’s either!
Ahmad: Whatever! Brandon aint even here at his own frat house cuz of this drama! I called him last week and he said he wasn’t comin’ cuz he couldn’t see them two together!
Patrick: Well unless I’m seeing double, that has to be Brandon right there! He looks just like dude!
Miri: Where?
Patrick points.
Patrick: Right there! He just pulled up and got out the car!
Everyone turns and sees Brandon walking toward the house.
Seth: Brandon!
Brandon smiles and throws up the Sigma sign.
Ahmad thinks: I thought he said he wasn’t comin’!
Miya: I thought you said he wasn’t coming.
Ahmad: That’s what he told me!
Deniece sees Brandon as he is walking toward the house. Brandon has not seen them yet.
Deniece: Bren, there’s Brandon.
Brendon looks.
Brendon: Oh God! Let’s just go.
Deniece: No, you know what, we need to get this thing handled once and for all.
Brendon: What you talkin’ bout?
Deniece: You two are gonna talk.
Brendon: No we aint. He aint even have the decency to come to the wedding! He’s always been jealous of me and this is just another case!
Deniece: Honey! Stop! Okay! Just stop! Now that’s your brother. I know it aint gonna be easy but you two are family. And you always tell me that family is most important right?
Brendon: Yeah but I’m talking about you… about us. About our new baby. That’s family.
Deniece: Brandon was your family first. I think we need to settle this baby.
Brandon: Settle what?
Denice turns around and sees Brandon walking toward them.
Brandon: Don’t tell me you guys are finally ready to apologize and put this whole thing behind us are you?
_______________________________________________________________________________________There is tension outside of the Kappa party as Bobby and Gregg begin arguing.
Mikes jumps up into Bobby's face.
Mike: Bobby, I'm gonna tell you this one time. Get out of my frat's face.
Bobby: Or what Mike?
Mike looks over at Nathaniel and Jovan.
Mike: Ya'll better come get your boy before I do.
Bobby: Mike, you got somethin' to say to me, then say it.
Gregg: Yo Mike man, let's go. We too old for this nonsense.
Bobby: Too old or too pretty? I know you red and white boys don't like to mess up your nails.
Gregg: Yo, Bobby, man what is your problem?
Bobby : You my problem, Gregg!
Gregg: Okay well do somethin' then!
Gregg takes his jacket off and throws it down on the sidewalk. Caryn stands off to the side with a smirk on her face.
Gregg: Do somethin' then, Bobby! You a big man, right? Do somethin!
Dominic comes around the corner.
Dominic: Yo Nupes! What's goin' on!
Mike: Get over here, Dom! We got a problem we need to fix! Now!
Bobby: Oh you callin’ your back up boys? This is between me and this so called playa here?
Bobby points at Gregg.
Gregg: What’s the issue? Caryn said she’ll call you next weekend, when homecoming is over. So holla!
Nathaniel: Who is this dude anyway?
Mike: You got a problem young boy?
A few students who were walking in to the party start to gather around.
Joriah thinks: This is about to get ugly!
Mike! Calm down!
Mike turns when he hears his name called and sees someone tall walking toward him through the gathering crowd.
Mike: Yo!
Xavier: What’s goin’ on? Yall need to chill out!
Gregg: Z?
Xavier: Wassup fellas? Yall need to break this up.
Bobby: I’m outta here man.
Bobby pulls out his cell phone out and walks to the side.
Gregg: Yo man! I thought you said you couldn’t make it this weekend.
Xavier: My conference got moved to next weekend. I’m glad I showed up. What’s wrong with yall? Yall startin’ trouble again?
Xavier looks at Caryn who is on the side trying to talk to Bobby.
Xavier: Gregg?
Gregg: Man I was just playin’. I’m waitin’ on the AKAs to get here anyway.
Xavier: The AKAs? Dude, PJ don’t want you!
Alvin looks at Xavier shocked but doesn’t say anything.
Gregg: Whatever dude! Yo bros, this is my line brother Xavier. We call him preacherman now!These

They start to walk back toward the door of the party to let the small crowd of students in.
Xavier: What’s up frat.
Joriah: Hey Nupe! Heard a lot about you. Good meeting you brother.
Dominic: Same here frat.
Xavier: Who’s the stepmaster? Yall gonna win the show?
Alvin: Definitely! We don’t have real competition!
Xavier: Good! We’ll see yo! We’ll see.
Mike: Good thing you showed up Z. You know how I get.
Xavier: Speaking of which, I think we need to talk man.
Mike: Come on man, are you kiddin’? Its homecoming! Okay so I got into a little scuffle with Bobby.Big deal! We wasn’t really gonna fight. You know Bobby and them were always cool with me. I don’t need you preachin’ to me man. Let’s just go in and have a good time at the party okay?
Silence
Mike: Okay?
Xavier: Okay but that’s not what I was gonna talk to you about.
Mike: It’s not?
Xavier and Mike step to the side.

Scene 1 Continued
Kyle lifts her face up to his and looks into her eyes.
Kyle: So let me show how much I love you, Stasha…
Stasha: Kyle, I'm scared...
Kyle: I know, baby. That's normal. But it's me.....and I promise I'll take it slow.
Stasha: Well.....okay.....
Kyle: Why don't you go to my room and take a shower and relax while I clean up the kitchen?
Stasha: Um, okay....
Stasha goes to Kyle's bedroom and gets into the shower. While she is in the shower, Kyle quickly cleans up the kitchen. He goes back to the bedroom and begins to light candles and turns on soft music.
A few minutes later, Stasha steps out of the bathroom dressed in a satin baby blue nightgown.
Kyle (with a surprised look on his face): Oh Stasha......
Stasha: What is it, Kyle? Do I look silly?
Kyle: No! You look......beautiful......
Stasha: Really?
Kyle: Really.
Kyle pats the spot next to him on the bed.
Kyle: Come sit by me.
Stasha nervously walks over and sits beside Kyle on the bed.
Stasha: I don't know what to do here...
Kyle: Just relax, sweetie. I promise I will move slowly.
Stasha: Okay....
Kyle begins to kiss Stasha lightly on the shoulders. He slowly slides the strap of her nightgown down her arm and Stasha begins to tremble.
Kyle: Just relax, baby.....
Kyle hugs Stasha's shoulders and then pulls her close to him. He kisses her softly and deeply, while slowly moving his right hand down her shoulder towards her breasts. He gently cups her breasts and begins to massage them slowly. Stasha grabs Kyle's hand and pulls away.
Kyle: Baby, what is it? Is somethin' wrong?
Stasha: I'm sorry, Kyle. I know I said I was ready for this, but......I........I can't!

Scene 2 Continued
Brendon: Apologize? You lucky I don’t haul off an…
Deniece: Hey! Hey! Stop it! Now look! I think the two of you need to talk. Alone.
Silence
Deniece: I’m gonna go in the house and sit down.
Brendon: Are you feeling okay?
Deniece: I’m fine. I’ll be in the house.
Deniece looks at them both then walks back toward the frat house. Sharonda joins her as she gets closer.
Brendon: So what’s up bro. You finally got words for me?
Brandon laughs.
Brandon: Got words for you? The only words said right now should be I’m sorry bro and that needs to come from you.
Brendon: Okay let me get this straight. You want me to apologize… for marrying a woman that you dumped? You broke up with her, starting dating somebody else, we fall in love, and you mad?You’re joking right? You didn’t even come to the wedding and told Ma that we kept you out!
Brandon: I never told her that! You never even invited me! I would think I would be your best man or at least in it! You didn’t even ask!
Brendon: Brandon you were against us from the start! As soon as you found out we were goin’ out you got pissed!
Brandon: That’s because you never asked me how I felt about it! You always been that way. Brendon, you think the world revolves around you and nobody else is in your world. You never once thought to consider my feelings about the whole thing.
Brendon: You let your feelings for Deniece be known by going out with Breanna a week later.
Brandon: If you had asked I wouldn’t had a problem with it. You never bothered to ask.
Brendon: Cuz I know what you would’ve said. I know you man.
Brandon: No you don’t. We don’t think alike. You do things that work for you. That’s it. You know why none of my frat brothers would go after Deniece? Because its just something you don’t do to one of your boys. Let alone your brothers.
Brendon: I’m not in a frat so that lesson never got pledged into me.
Brandon: That aint a pledge lesson. That’s a life lesson.
Silence
Brendon: So what you want me to say man? Huh? She’s my wife. We’re having a baby.
Silence
Brendon: You’re gonna be an uncle. Do you want to be a part of our lives?
Silence
Brandon: What are you having?
Brendon: A boy.
Silence
Brendon: No he cannot be a Sigma. Get it out your head now!
Brandon laughs.
Brandon: Man shut up!
Brendon: Look man. You know I aint good with suckin’ up and stuff like that. But I miss you man. Nothing ever separated us. Nothing.
Brandon: I can’t lie man. I’m hurt. But its not because you with Deniece. I mean, things didn’t work out between us. We did nothing but argue and like I said, we don’t think alike. So maybe your personality was better for her. You’re a better match for her. But what hurt was that nobody called me, nobody asked how I felt. Nothing. You just do you and that’s it.
Brendon: I figured you would get pissed. And I wanted you to be there. I still do.
Brandon extends his hand toward Brendon. They come together and hug… albeit awkward.
Brendon: We missed you man.
Brandon: Yeah.
They let go.
Brendon: Brandon I’m sorry man. I’m sorry I didn’t call you and include you. I was wrong.
Brandon: We’ll get past this. We have to. You guys are starting a family. I’m gonna be a uncle.
Brendon: Yeah man. You are. And I was serious about that Sigma thing! No future Sigma shirts.
Brandon: Whatever! He’s gonna be wearin’ blue if he ever comes to visit uncle Brandon!
They laugh.
Brandon: Yall just gettin’ here?
Brendon: Actually we were leaving. Your boy Ahmad got issues so we gonna bounce.
Brandon: I’ll talk to him.
Brendon: No it’s cool. Deniece needs to rest and if we gonna go to the game tomorrow, its better if we go check in to the hotel.
Brandon: What are yall doin’ tonight?
Brendon: I don’t know.
Brandon: I may go to the Kappa party. Think D will let you out?
Brendon: Maybe. It would be good to see Mike and them. I’ll call your cell later.
Brandon: Yeah let me know. I’m supposed to be meetin’ PJ and goin’ with her.
Brendon: PJ? The AKA?
Brandon: Yeah. We reconnected on facebook like a few months ago and be chattin’ ever since. I’m tryin’ to see what’s up. We’ll see.

Scene 3 Continued
Xavier and Mike step to the side.
Xavier: No. What’s this I hear you been back here pledging the line every single year since you graduated from Ahpla? Mike we too old for that man! When are you gonna grow up?
Just then, the AKA's walk up.
Xavier: What's up pretty girls!
June: Hey Xavier!
PJ: Hey!
Xavier: I see ya'll still like to party!
PJ: You know we had to come show out with the neo's.
PJ points towards Sydney, Camille, Kennedy, and Dashia.
Gregg: What's up PJ?
PJ looks Gregg up and down and rolls her eyes.
PJ (ignoring Gregg): Alright, Xavier, it was good to see you. We'll catch up inside.
Xavier: Cool.
The AKA's walk away leaving Xavier and Gregg by themselves.
Xavier busts out laughing.
Gregg: What's so funny?
Xavier: You! I told you PJ ain' want you!
Gregg: Man, whatever. I ain't thinkin' bout PJ. She trippin' right now. Besides, I got Caryn to keep me company.
Gregg turns around to find the sidewalk empty.
Gregg: Caryn?
Looks back at Xavier.
Gregg:Where did she go?
Back inside the party, the crowd is starting to pick up.
DJ Dubble Up: What's up Ahpla!
Crowd begins to yell
DJ Dubble Up: This is your man, DJ Dubble Up keepin it live for Homecoming 08! I got a request to play this track for my lovely ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha! Where you at, AKA?
AKA'S: Skeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Wee!
DJ starts to play "Set it off" and the AKA's begin to party stroll, along with the Alpha's.
Upstairs, DJ Klassic is doing a reggae set and the Que's are upstairs keepin' the party live. Joriah makes his way upstairs and sees Denitra dancing with Armani. Joriah immediately gets angry and walks over to Denitra and Armani.
Joriah: Nitra, what do you think you are doin'?
Denitra: What? I can't hear you!
Joriah (louder): I said, what do you think you are doin'?
Denitra: Excuse me?
Joriah: Don't play games with me, Nitra. You know this is a Nupe party. Why are you tryin' to embarrass me? Everbody know you my girl!
Dentira: Your girl?
Joriah: You know what I mean.
Denitra: No, I don't. And honestly, I don't care. I'm dancin' right now, if you hadn't noticed.
Joriah: Nitra, stop playin' for real.
Armani: Is there a problem here?
Joriah: Yo back off, Armani. This is between me and my girl.
Armani: Nitra, I thought you said you and Joriah were over.
Denitra: We are!
Denitra focuses her attention back on Joriah.
Denitra: Step off, Joriah.
Joriah: For real? Step off? It's like that? Fine!
Joriah storms off down the stairs in anger. At the bottom of the stairs, he runs into Dashia.
Dashia: Hey Joriah!
Joriah: Sup.
Dashia: Dag! What's wrong with you?
Joriah: I'm sorry. It's nothin'.
Dashia: This party is hot, Joriah! The Nupes outdid themselves this year!
Joriah: Thanks, Dashia. You know how we do it!
Dashia: No, I don't but I sure would like to.
Joriah: Oh really?
Dashia leans in close to Joriah and begins to whisper in his ear. Joriah begins to smile and pull Dashia closer as they hear a voice from the stairs. Joriah looks up to see Denitra.
Denitra: Just when I was starting to feel bad and was coming behind you so we could sort this thing out, I find you here with.....her! I should have known better. You ain't no good, Joriah! I dont know what happened to you, but you ain't no good!
________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning.....
The alarm clock rings.
Caryn: Dang! Turn that thing off! Why’s it goin’ off so early!
Ronnie: Early? It’s almost 11:30! The game kicks off at 1:00!
Caryn rolls over and looks at Ronnie.
Caryn: Are you serious? It’s almost 12:00?
Ronnie: Yeah so get up. I gotta meet the bruhs on the yard at noon.
Caryn: Well go head then, we’ll catch up and see you on the yard. I aint ready to get up yet.
Trina: Yeah me neither. Go on without us.
