It's been a couple hours since our little episode and we've taken a shower, napped, and watch a whole season of 'Being Mary Jane'. It was starting to get dark outside. 

"I should be getting home," I say looking up at him from his chest, where my head currently lays. "I need to get my clothes ready for work in the morning." I groan unraveling myself from Tyler. 

"I could call uncle right now and tell him that you won't show up." He laughs pulling me back into his grip. 

"Stop I'm going to work." I laugh, moving away from him and getting off the bed. "And I'm taking your slides," I call walking to his closet. 

"Wait for me, I just need to throw on a shirt." I hear the sheets shuffle behind me. He reaches into his dresser next to the bed and pull out a shirt and puts it on. 

"I don't think anyone's home. The lights are off and the cars are gone, except for mine." I tell Tyler after looking out the window. 

Tyler walks towards the bedroom door. 

"Wait, where's my purse?" I ask. My phone's in there.

"I think it's in the car,"Tyler says grabbing my hand and pulling me out the door. The house was dark and completely silent. 

"Where's ma?" I ask Tyler, just thinking of his mother being home through our whole sexcapade makes me cringe.

"She's at her boyfriend's house." Tyler gruffs out. Tyler and his mother's boyfriends, past and present, have never gotten along. His mother has a type when it comes to man. The same type that Tyler would never get along with. 

As we reach the door, my eyes are drawn to the houses around us. On our block, everyone is a big happy family. I wouldn't want them to find out about this by peeking out the window. I would rather we tell them together.

Tyler leads me to his car and opens the door and reaches in to grab my purse. Tyler hands me my purse. 

As I start to take a couple steps across the street, Tyler's arm finds a way around my waist. 

"Maybe we should do this every weekend. One of us come over to each other's house and devour each other." He whispers, nibbling at my right ear. 

I elbow him into his side. "This shouldn't have even happened this weekend." I sigh as we reach my front porch. I grab my keys out of my purse and unlock the door. 

"This is where I leave you," Tyler says grabbing my hand and gently placing a kiss on my knuckles. "Goodnight my love." He says, handing me my keys and closing the door as soon as I step through my door. 


Johanna's Pov

"You need to go. They'll be here any minute." I groan as I run around the house to clean everything up and make sure that all of Devin's clothes and anything that relates to Devin, including him out of the house before my family gets home. 

"Babe, I am. I have everything, stop pacing around. I washed all the dishes and I have all my clothes. Now come lock the door behind me." Devin sighs walking towards the door. 

"Are you sure that's everything?" I ask, nervously playing with my fingers. 

"Yes." Devin sighs, unlocking the front door. "Now come here." Devin demands as he opens the door and grabs his keys from his back pocket. 

"Don't bother her tonight." I scowl him as I walk over to him. When I reach him I wrap my arms around his waist and stand on my tippy toes to place a peck on his lips. "And don't fight with Tyler. Just be happy that it's someone that you trust. Now go before they get there." Pushing Devin away from the front door. 

"Bye Jo." Devin calls as he gets in his car. 

I watch as he starts the car and drives it off. 

'Baby while we're young

I think we should do something crazy
Like say "Fuck everyone"
And just run away from the daily routine
Yeah you know what I mean' 

I hear my phone ringtone go off from my room. I lock the door and run to get it before it goes to voicemail. When I get to my room, I answer the phone without looking for who's calling. 

"Hello?" I answer. 

"Is Devin with you?" I hear Jessica on the other end. 

"He just left he's on his way now." Jessica sighs before speaking again. 

"He better not come here with the foolishness."

"I already talked to him. He shouldn't bother you or Tyler." I laugh. "So where were you earlier? We came by the house and you weren't there." I know that she could hear my smirk through the phone. 

"Tomorrow.  We'll talk about that later. I don't wanna spill tea over the phone. I wanna see your reaction." Jessica laughs.

"Fine." I sigh. "Tomorrow. I'll talk to you later babes." I blow a kiss through the phone before hanging up. 

"Johanna." I hear my mother's voice call from downstairs.

"Mi Mama." I call running down the stairs.
