Song-Kissing Strangers-DNCE

The sky was grey and dull on the day of Troy's funeral which was closed casket.

Yolanda, Landon and Troy's family and friends attended they were all wearing black as they walked by his casket one by one.

Yolanda had a look of sorrow as she walked by Troy's casket even though they both did wrong she still loved him and missed him.

When Landon walked to.the casket feeling nothing but guilt as he looked at his reflection staring back at him. Ever since Troy's death, he was sure of his guilt, but there was another feeling he had too. Relief...

After the funeral as everyone was leaving Yolanda was standing off to the side while people were giving their condolences. As Landon was walking up to her, another woman had just hugged her.

Once the woman walked off, he walked up to Yolanda.

They both stood in front of each other looking down at the ground in front of their feet.

Landon looked at her.

"How are you holding up since everything?" he asked.

"I'm holding on..." she answered still unable to believe that this was real.

Landon felt bad for her even though they slept together he still seen her as a friend.

He hugged her.

"Everything is going to get better," he reassured her though he still had his doubts.

Yolanda's eyes were watery as they ended their hug.

She wiped her eyes with her hand and land on said his goodbyes then went to his car and left. Driving away he noticed raindrops were starting to pour as they tapped his windows.

Later that evening Landon was sitting at home on the couch still in his suit from earlier his tie was disheveled across from him was an empty glass and a bottle of whiskey. After the funeral, he decided to spend the rest of the day drinking until he stopped feeling guilty.

As he poured himself another drink his phone ringed looking at it, he saw it was D calling him.

"Hello," his voice slurred.

"Hey man, what are you doing now?" D asked.

Landon could hear the sound of loud wind in the background.

"Just at home," he shrugged taking a sip of his drink.

"We on your side of town get ready welcoming to get you."

Landon looked surprised.

"What?"

"Get ready will be there in ten minutes." then the call ended.

He sighed getting up from the couch and making his way upstairs to change out of his suit into a black shirt jeans and his leather jacket.

He was pretty sure where he and D were going.

Before he knew his phone was going off letting him know D was already outside his house.

Landon grabbed his phone, wallet, and keys then went downstairs and walked out of the house.

Later they were at a Ping a local dive bar. Landon, D and D's girlfriend Jesse were all at the bar drinking beers and watching the game. After a while, Jesse got up and went off to the bathroom once she was gone. D looked over at Landon who was stuffing his face with hot wings.

"Hey, man can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Landon said swallowing his last wing.

"it's been three years... When are you gonna get back out there?"

"When I'm ready," he said dryly taking a gulp

D looked over at him.

"Look I know Carolina leaving you after she got her green card but... We all saw that coming.. But maybe it's time you.."

Jesse walked back up her red hair bounced walking back up to the bar.

"What y'all talking about?" she asked.

"Nothing Y'all wanna play some pool, " Landon said standing up leaving the bar and making his way over to the pool tables.

"What's his deal?" Jesse looked over at D.

D shrugged.

Prada was standing in the bathroom of the bar looking in the mirror applying red lipstick. She smiled at her reflection when she was done then made her way out of the bathroom as another woman was walking in looking at her up and down. The dirty look didn't faze Prada.

A strong smell of cigarettes hit her nose something that made her sick to her stomach. She held her breath as she made her way to the bar.

"So I finally found you." she heard a deep voice say from behind her causing her to gasp once she turned around.

She had a look of fear on her face as her eyes met with a tall, dark, tattooed man.

"Well long time no see," he smirked pulling out another cigarette.

Prada held her breath once again as the man lit up the cigarette and brought it to his lips.

"So I haven't heard from you in...

"Three years I was in prison, and you didn't come to see me not once." the man said cutting her off.

Prada said nothing.

"But it's all good now just once you give the money you owe me."

Prada looked surprised

"Mike , I told you I had nothing to do with taking your money..."

He put his hand up.

"I know you took my money... So lets cut to the chase you can pay me back now."

"I don't have ten thousand dollars," Prada said shocked.

He grinned.

"Don't worry I got a few guys who would be willing to help you but you got to give something in return."

"I don't do that anymore, and I have a man now," Prada spoke up.

Mike narrowed his eyes at her.

"Oh really where is he then he chuckled.

"He's here I was about to meet him...

Prada looked around the room for a guy when her eyes went over to some pool tables where she saw a guy in a leather jacket holding a pool stick and chalking it.

Landon was standing at the pool table holding pool stick it was his turn to break as he leaned over and pointed his stick at the cue ball he saw a flash of red coming in his direction causing him to get distracted.

Before he could say anything, Prada bum-rushed him.

"Hey, babe she said looking at Landon getting close to him.

D and Jesse looked at them confused.

Landon didn't know what was going on until he saw a guy from a distance staring at them.

"Hey baby there you are," he said putting his arm around her.

After that, he noticed the guy walked off.

"Can I play with Y'all?" Prada asked looking at them.

"Yea sure,' Landon said handing her his pool stick.

After a few games of pool, D came up to him and told him Jesse was ready to leave, so they were about to go.

Landon leaned over to Prada.

"Hey, do you need a ride?' he whispered in her ear.

She shook her head.

"No I'll be fine she told him.

"You sure he questioned.

Prada nodded

"Yea I'll be fine," she said.

Jesse looked at them.

"She said she'd be fine let's go," she said her and D started to walk off.

Landon looked at Prada.

"I just want you to be safe just come ride with us." he offered.

Prada looked back and seen that Mike was back eyeing her again.

This may be her only chance.

"Ok I'll ride with Y'all," she said as land on put his arm around her, and they followed D and Jesse out of the bar.
