The Sequence

Chapter [32] - Deeper Level

"Okay okay I work from 2 o'clock til 9. Overtime is 9 o'clock until 2 am. I do the overtime because the money is popping and I don't really do anything but take orders and hand out information," I shrugged.

"Exactly-" he started and got cut off. "Exactly nothing. The extra hours gives me extra money. Extra money I can use for things I want." I gave him a look to drop it but hardheaded ass Velle doesn't listen to shit especially when he believes he's right and that's 24/7.

"Like I was saying, I don't like these hours. You don't need overtime, and if you let me, you won't have to worry about any bills either," he kissed the back of my ear.

"No Trevelle stop, I don't like that. I'm not about to depend on you to pay my bills, what type of shit is that?"

He pulled back, "Fine."

"Let's make a deal." I laughed, swear he's so cute when he pouts.

"I'm listening," he sat across from me and continued to eat.

"When this finger," I held up my ring finger, "gets iced with an engagement ring then we can discuss you paying bills, deal?" I smiled.

"Bet." he rubbed his hands together.

"Boy bye," I laughed.

"Nah I'm forreal. If that's what you want, you can have it, when I'm ready." he grabbed my hand and stuffed his face with his burger with the other hand.

"Gimme some," I grabbed it from his hand and bit into it.

The door swung open and Armani waltzed in. She hopped on the bed and pushed Velle aside.

"Best friend I missed you where were you?" she pouted and kissed my cheek.

"I was at work," I stretched and finished off his burger. "Damn you always at work, I barely see you." she crossed her arms. "That's what I said," Velle butted in.

"Man if y'all don't leave me alone about my hours..work is work." I rolled my eyes. "But damn you make time for his black ass what about me?" she pouted.

"Bitch-" he started. "Trevelle chill." I cut him off.

"Yeah that's right, chill. Like I was saying-" she continued.

"I'm going to sleep." I cut her off and grabbed all the wrappers and stuffed them in the bag before heading down the steps to throw it in the garbage.

I passed Quan on the way down and smiled, "hey," I greeted. "Wassup I never see you anymore," he gave me a side hug and I rolled my eyes.

Everybody act so extra with these hours they act like they never see me period, I'm always here but I'd rather do something productive with my time rather than play all day. Being broke ain't a cute look.

"Yeah yeah...." I mumbled and tossed the bag away. "I'm going to sleep, night."

"Night."

I bounded up the steps and straight to my room. Armani left out and Velle was stretched out under the covers. I closed the door and shut the lights off.

I patted the bed blindly until I found my spot and slid in besides him. His hands wrapped around me while I laid my head on his chest. I put my hands in his hair and stroked his curls.

"You make me, feel like I'm living the, teenage dream, the way you turn me on. I can't breathe," I sung lowly.

"Awh shit let me find out you got vocals."

"Don't gas me up," I felt my cheeks redden. His lips pressed against mines briefly before he pulled back.

"I love you."

"I love you more." I poked his nose and snuggled into his chest. When his breathing started to even out, telling me he was sleep, I climbed out of the bed.

I grabbed my phone from the charger and tip toed my way to the closet and shut the door behind me.

I called up my manager, glad I had her ass on speed dial because I was way too tired for this bright ass screen to be blinding me. I dialed her up and patiently waited before she picked up.

"Um hello, this is Chanel Marie. I'm calling to let you know I won't be able to do any more overtime unless it's required or asked of me." I spoke quickly in a hushed tone.

"Umm..are you sure? Is the pay the problem? Are you looking for a raise?" she questioned. I smiled.

"No the pay isn't a problem at all. I just ..cant do the extra time any more." I felt bad but not really. I wasn't about to bury my self in work when I had family to see and a whole life to live.

"Er well if you ever change your mind or if there's anything I can do to change it, you let me know."

"Will do. Have a goodnight." before she could reply I hung up and headed back in the room. I hooked my phone back on the charger and headed over to the bed.

I slid under the sheets and Velle's arms circled around me. "I love you so much," he mumbled sleepily. "I love you too, go to sleep baby." I kissed his lips and pressed into his chest.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep to Velle's light forehead kisses.
