Gelila held the small diamond hoop earring close to her face, shook her head, and let out a heavy defeted sigh. "I'll never be able to compete with Briana." she thought to herself. Granted, it could have been any woman's earring, but Gelila knew better. She had a feeling Tyler was still dealing with Briana. She placed the earring carefully on the end table as she reminised on the very first time she met Briana a year and a half ago. It was intimidating and quite frankly, a little embarassing. She's now gotten used to Tyler showing her off, but the way he presented her to Briana, as if he had won something, and the way Briana looked at her, was enough to send any woman running for the hills. Although Briana was cordial and shook her hand saying, "Nice to meet you.", once again, Gelila knew better. There were so many unspoken words between Tyler and Briana. Gelila could tell by their body language. She could tell Briana wasn't expecting to meet her, and she could tell Tyler introduced her for more than just being polite. Gelila knew that Tyler and Briana had a lot of unfinished business... Gelila's cell phone rang, and it jolted her out of her memory :
GELILA : "Hello?"
TYLER : "Hey, sweetheart. There's a car coming in about an hour to pick you up and take you to the airport. I'll meet you there."
GELILA : "Where are we going?"
TYLER : "We're having dinner in Chicago with some friends."
GELILA : (pauses briefly, looking at the diamonds in Briana's earring, contemplating her next move.)
TYLER : "Did you hear me?"
GELILA : "Yes...I did. Okay."
TYLER : "What's wrong?"
GELILA : "Nothin', babe." (excitedly says) "Okay! I have an hour to get ready. Bye!"
TYLER : (chuckles) "Okay. See you soon."

Gelila got off the phone with Tyler and picked up Briana's earring, considering throwing it away. She wanted to flush it down the toilet or stuff it down the garbage disposal, but she was sure that Briana would be looking for it and didn't want Tyler to find out and get upset. You see, over the past year, Tyler has made it very easy for Gelila to fall in love with him, and while she may have his arm at prestigious events and a few fingers in his wallet, Briana has something that Gelila has yet to obtain...his heart. But soon, that will all change...

IN CHICAGO...

After dinner with Oprah and Gayle, Tyler and Gelila checked into a lavish hotel suite for the rest of the night. Gelila didn't say much during dinner, and Tyler just assumed that it was Gelila being her usual shy and softspoken self, so he didn't feel the need to ask if anything was wrong. Once inside the hotel room, Tyler set up his laptop and did some editing for his movie, checked the messages on his website's message board, made a few phone calls, and wrote a bit. Gelila, tired from the flight and from listening to "rich people conversation" about private islands, she went into the bedroom and undressed. She layed across the bed completely naked, waiting for Tyler to come into the room so she could set her plan into motion...

Once Tyler wrapped up his work, he walked towards the bedroom. He stopped short and smiled when he saw Gelila laying on her stomach with her long legs crossed at the ankles. He wasn't sure if she was asleep or not, so he quietly slipped out of his dress shirt and pants, making his way over to the bed. He slowly crawled over to her and began placing light kisses all along her back. She giggled and turned over, wrapping her arms around his neck. They shared a long and deep kiss as Tyler's hands ran along her hips and backside...

GELILA : (between kisses, whispered) "What do I have to do?"
TYLER : (kissing her neck) "What?"
GELILA : (pauses to enjoy the sensation, then whispered) "I'll do anything."
(it was either Gelila's sweet African accent or the fact that she was whispering and moaning softly at the same time, that caused Tyler not to understand what she was saying. Or maybe Tyler heard her loud and clear, but wanted to make sure she really said what he thought she said)
TYLER : (lifts his head) "What did you say?"
GELILA : (pauses and looks into Tyler's eyes) "Do you love me?"
TYLER : (takes a long pause, pulls back, and looks down into Gelila's eyes)
GELILA : "I need to know...before..."
TYLER : (placed his hand on the side of Gelila's beautiful face, and kissed her before she could finish what she was saying. Tyler positioned himself on top of her while kissing her deeply. He stopped just to whisper) "Let me show you..."

Tyler layed between Gelila's legs and gave her all of him. It was the first time he had ever entered her without protection. Although it was very special that she had let him do so, Tyler imagined the whole time, that he was making love to Briana. He took full control and did everything that Briana loved so much, to Gelila. He was extremely loving, very careful, and so passionate with her. They came together near the edge of the bed, where Tyler held her there until they both were completely done. He lifted Gelila's body all the way back on the bed, as they kissed once more and she feel asleep in his arms. Tyler lay awake listening to Gelila's soft breathing, wondering what she meant, exactly, when she said, "I'll do anything."

AROUND 1 AM...

Tyler 's cell phone rings and he grabs it before the ringtone could wake Gelila. He saw BRIANA on the caller ID, and quickly answered it.

TYLER : (sleepily answers) "Hello?"
BRIANA : "Hey. Sorry to wake you. I just finished a concert..."
TYLER : (whispering) "No, no. It's okay. I meant to call you earlier today. I just never got around to it."
BRIANA: "It's cool. I just wanted to let you know, that I think I lost my earring over your house, and if you see it, put it up for me. It's part of a very special pair."
TYLER : "I'm glad to see you still wear them."
BRIANA : "Of course. No matter how I feel about you, they're still very nice earrings." (laughs)
TYLER : "Okay. If i see it, I'll put it up. But if I don't, I'll just buy you another pair."
BRIANA : (playfully says) "Um huh."
TYLER : (takes a pause) "Are we okay?"
BRIANA : "Yeah...for now." (laughs)
TYLER : (smiles) "Good. So how was your show?"...

As Tyler carried on his conversation with Briana, Gelila lay on her side listening, pleased with her decision to hide the earring in the front pocket of one of the purses Tyler bought her. She thought it'd be a great place to keep it until she made the personal delivery to Briana...
