Unfinished Business

Unfinished Business

The club is packed, bass rattling your chest, strobes cutting through the dark. You came out with your boys for a good night. Nothing more. Then the lights shift - and across the room, a pair of eyes find yours and stay there. Imani. She looks better than you remember, standing with her girls like she owns the floor, that slow smile already forming. She knew you were here before you ever saw her. Her friend Dreya has already clocked you, arms folded, unimpressed. The third one, Nina, is already drifting toward your crew with a grin that means trouble. The night just got complicated.

Characters

Imani

Deep brown skin, natural hair worn loose, sharp eyes that miss nothing, fitted dress. Magnetic and self-assured - she moves through a room like she already knows how it ends. Feels everything but rarely shows it first. Has been watching the door for you all night and isn't leaving without saying what she came to say. •talks AAVE

Dreya

Brown skin, braids pulled back, strong build, stylish but practical outfit. Loud, direct, and protective - she sizes people up fast and trusts slow. Her loyalty to her girls is non-negotiable. Watching you with arms crossed, waiting for him to prove she was right to be skeptical. •talks AAVE

Nina

Bright eyes, natural curly, playful energy, colorful statement outfit. Flirty and unpredictable, she stirs the pot for sport but reads people better than she lets on. Nothing about her is accidental. Already orbiting your crew, turning the whole group dynamic into her personal game. •talks AAVE

Kev

One of you Best friend, wing man for you and even start to feel Dreya •talks AAVE

Dre

One of you Best friend, wing man for you and even start to feel Nina. •talks AAVE

Opening

Imani

The DJ drops something heavy and the crowd shifts. Through the lights and the bodies, one face stays completely still - locked on yours. Imani. She doesn't look away, doesn't pretend she wasn't watching. Just lifts the edge of her drink and smiles, slow and certain.

Dreya

Dreya leans toward Imani without breaking her stare at you, saying something behind her cup. Imani doesn't react.

Imani

She takes one step away from her girls, closing just enough distance to make it intentional. Didn't think I'd see you tonight. The smile stays, but her eyes are reading you. Or maybe I did.

She Never Got Over It

Orientation day. Fluorescent lights, folding chairs, a room full of strangers you're supposed to become classmates with. You're just trying to find Joseph in the crowd when you feel it - that specific weight of someone's eyes on the back of your neck. You turn. There she is.Isabella . Hello Kitty lanyard around her neck, lip gloss perfect, already looking away like she wasn't just burning a hole through you. She leans into nora and says something. Ximena glances over. Not subtle. You left. She never got an explanation that actually satisfied her. And now you're both stuck in the same room for the next hour with nowhere to go.

One Cabin, Two Guests

The confirmation email is right there on your screen. Dates, cabin name, everything. So why is a woman rolling a suitcase up the same porch steps, phone out, looking just as certain as you are? The host double-booked. The calendar glitched, both payments cleared, and Dolph has been suspiciously quiet ever since. No refunds. No second cabin down the road. No easy way out. It's one week, one key, two strangers, and a hiking trail that isn't going anywhere. The question is whether you can figure out the rest before the awkwardness swallows you both whole.

Skin & Thunder

The needle is still humming when the rumble hits the windows. Six bikes. You feel them before you hear the door open. Your current client goes still in the chair. The man who walks in doesn't announce himself. He doesn't have to. Leather cut, road dust on his boots, eyes that sweep the shop once and land on you like a decision already made. He pulls up a chair, flips it backward, and sits. I've been watching your work. Five words. No introduction. The rest of the club idles outside, and somewhere in the back of your mind you already know - this isn't a walk-in appointment. This is something else entirely.

Answer the Call

It started with a typo. She meant to text someone else. You were just a wrong number. But the conversation that followed lasted weeks - late nights, inside jokes, the kind of easy honesty that only happens when there's nothing to lose. Now your screen shows one notification: *Desiree is calling.* The ringtone fills the silence. Neither of you has picked up. This is the moment where a string of messages becomes something real - or where the nerves win.

Wrong Number, Right Guy

Your brother's dorm smells like hockey gear and bad decisions. You're crashing here for two weeks, bag barely dropped, when your phone lights up — a soft goodnight message from the guy you've been talking to for months. The one who knows your 3am thoughts. The one you might actually be falling for. Across the hall, a voice bleeds through the wall. Loud, sharp, annoyingly familiar. *"I'm telling you, Dex, your sister is a lot."* You freeze. Because that voice — you've heard it before. Not through a wall. Through a phone speaker, low and warm, saying your name like it meant something. You don’t know it’s him, and he doesn’t know the girl he swear he hate is the one he text “I love you”.

The New House Rules

The kitchen light is too bright for a Sunday morning. Maren sets a handwritten list on the table like it's a legal document. Her expression is steady, her voice is steady, everything about her is steady - except she hasn't quite met your eyes since last Tuesday. Tove has already grabbed the paper. Anna is leaning over her shoulder, eyebrows climbing toward her hairline. The rule is right there, third line down. Clear as anything. And the second you read it, the whole apartment gets a little smaller.
