Endless Love

53

I was sitting outside the police station for about a half an hour now, I had just gave them the bail money for Josh, so now it was just the waiting part that was gonna take a while. Lily was back at my office with Tay, I didn't want her to see all this stuff right now. I shook my head and looked on my phone and seen I had missed calls from Ryan. I sighed and thought about how I didn't even call him or anything since he left, I know Josh was back around me but I still do care for Ryan too.

"Hello? Ryan?"

"Damn Liyah I've been trying to call you since last night, then a few hours ago I heard you got shot? What's that about? Do you need me to come back?"

"I'm sorry I was just busy, with Lily and everything going on, and it was just a small shot no biggie, I'm up I went to work, now I'm just- sitting in a mall parking lot. But how's your trip?" I had to think of a good lie cause I didn't want him questioning me at all about Josh and if he was around since he didn't ask me about him yet.

"Are you sure everything's alright? My trip is good, it's hot here so it's better than being in cold ass NYC."

"That's the best I'd love to feel a beach right now. And Ryan everything is fine, I told you that."

"I still don't understand how you got shot. Was Josh involved?"

"He had just came over to drop off Lily, and the people that shot Josh was all in the lobby, if he wasn't here they were coming for Lily and I. Naomi was talking shit, so I jumped and attacked her, and there was about four people with guns in their hands so, one of the bullets got me."

"I hate to say this but Josh is a target right now, he's dangerous, you need to be careful." He said and when he did I seen Josh come out the jail and started walking down this way.

"I understand what you're saying, but I have to go, I'm already late picking up Lily. I just wanted to call you back." Josh wasn't dangerous, but the people who wanted to attack him were. He was a target and I know it's scary to be around him, but I'm gonna be around him anyways right now, whatever happens, happens.

"Call me later, or I'll call you. Be careful, and tell Lily I said hi. I love you, be safe."

"Okay, I love you too." I said hanging up the phone, I was hesitant to say it but I did mean it, I just don't know what I want right now and I'm not worried about it. Josh got in the car and I could tell by the look of his face he looked exhausted.

"How was it? I know you're greedy ass didn't like the food."

"Nah I need real food, all that slimey shit isn't cutting it." I laughed and drove off and I reached over and touched his face. I'm glad I was able to get him out, I just hated feeling like he was away from me for too long ever since he woke up, he was gone long enough.

"You missed me didn't you?"

"Shut up it's only been almost a full day. I was fine."

"You know you're lying." He said laying his hand on my thigh, and I looked over at him.

"Don't start Josh."

"By the way your leg is shaking a little, I can tell you want me to start." He smirked and I tried not to look back at him since I was driving, so I put one of my hands over his, even though I didn't wanna stop him at all. "You know what I want, pull over."

"Josh, where am I gonna pull over? In a parking lot?"

"Yeah, anywhere I don't care where." He said biting his lip and gripping on my thigh, and from the look of his face I could tell he wanted me at this second. I drove and the closest parking lot was a Walmart, so I parked in the way back where no cars were and put the heat on high, and jumped over from my seat to Josh's lap.
