    He would have never imagined that every moment since would be a straight up fantasy. Keys had been the typical hood boy for most of his life; selling dope, getting money and getting bitches upon bitches upon bitches. The fact that he had survived shootings and Dream's jealous wrath was a miracle from above, and he grew tired of forcing God's hand. So, last year, he decided to settle down. He quit the dope game and focused on his girlfriend, Dream. Then, one rainy night, he met Ivy, and his life changed. And it wasn't that typical change that leads to a man going astray. If only it could have been that simple. After meeting Ivy, Keys' life literally went from the normal day-to-day, to mystery, fantasia and the realization that forever will be a very long time for him. Ivy, however, is very much living in the real world. She knows that these premature feelings for Keys are just a rebound from her failed relationship with Travis, and she has sense enough to know two things; one, the last thing that she needs to be focused on is a man, especially one with an undeserving, bitch like Dream, and, two, she had never known that she was starving, until she tasted Keys. Despite their incredible connection, both Keys and Ivy take great lengths to distance themselves from this fairytale-like chemistry between them. However, when destiny has designed two people to be together there is nothing that can stop it... except the threat of death. Since the moment they met, Keys had been her superman, and since the moment that she stepped into his life, Ivy had been his kryptonite.
