Dirty Laundry

Scared

"Morgan don't think like that, you have a restraining order on him he can't come near you. Remember?"

"That doesn't mean he won't try." I said walking near the dresses. "He doesn't care."

"Have you told Jarron?" She asked.

I shook my head no. "Should I? I don't want him to worry."

"But you're worrying, talking to Jarron will ease your mind." She said. "Tell him, and y'all can talk about it together."

"You're right. I'm gonna tell him today"

After we grabbed some things, we went to three more stores then grabbed smoothies. Finally, we went our own separate ways. I texted Jarron that I was on my way and I had to talk to him about something.

When I got home, all the lights were off. "Jarron?" I called out. It was silent, I took my shoes off and went into the bedroom. There was flowers everywhere with candles lit as well, Jarron was sitting on the bed with a big box of chocolate.

"You like?" He smirked.

"I love." I laid in bed next to him and kissed him deeply, "This is beautiful."

"What made you do this?" I asked.

"I just wanted to do something nice for you on our off day." He said, he opened up the box of chocolates and put one in my mouth. "Show you how much I appreciate you."

I bit into the chocolate and smiled. "Well it's beautiful."

He got up and went into the bathroom and grabbed some oil. "Take your shirt off." He instructed."

"What's happening now?" I laughed.

"A massage. Come on." I took my shirt off and laid on by belly as he slowly rubbed the oil on my back. "Now, what did you have to talk to me about?"

I sighed deeply. "I don't even want to talk about it anymore." I said, "This is too relaxing."

"Just tell me. Is something wrong?"

"Sort of..."

"Okay now you really have to tell me." He said still massaging my back.

"Last night at the club, one of Dave's friends came into our section when you went to get us drinks."

"What?" He stopped rubbing my back. "Morgan why didn't you tell me this?"

I shrugged, "I dunno. But I'm scared." I whined.

"Why what did he say to you. Did he hurt you?"

I shook my head no and sat up. "He just said Dave has a plan when he gets out of prison."

"So what, what does that have to do with you?"

"It has everything to do with me! Dave is going to find me Jarron." I said grabbing the glass of wine that was sitting on the nightstand.

"He's not going to find you babe." He said, "And even if he does you're engaged it ain't shit he can do about it."

"Except kidnap me and kill me." I scoffed.

"Don't talk like that."

"Well I'm scared."

"Don't be." He said in a serious tone. "I'm your fiancé, and I'm going to protect you. I promise, Dave is not going to find or touch you."

I sighed deeply and hugged him, "I love you."

"I love you back. Now let's get back to this massage."

The massage ended up putting me to sleep, and Jarron blew all the candles out and laid next to me. After about a hour there was a knock at the door. "Who's that?" I croaked.

Jarron sighed loudly. "Don't know." He stood up and stretched before going to open the door.

"Nigga you was sleep?"

"Don't you know the game comes on in ten minutes! Come on turn the tv on!"

Jarron came back into the room. "It's the guys and their girls." He laughed.

I groaned and sat up, I put on some comfortable clothes and my slippers before walking into the living room. Quincy, Christian, Asia, and Alex were all sitting on the couch. "We brought drinks!" Asia smiled. She stood up and hugged me, "Hey babygirl."

"Hey." I yawned. "What's going on?"

"Cavs vs OKC is playing tonight." She said.

"What made y'all think y'all can interrupt me and my fiancé's night?" I joked.

"Shut up Morgan." Quincy laughed. "Jarron home is our home."

"Babe could you make us some snacks?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes and went into the kitchen and Asia followed. "You told him?" I nodded. "So you're okay now right? You feel better?"

"Better than ever." I grabbed some fruits out the refrigerator and a cutting board. "Are you helping me?"

"Sure." She said washing her hands, Alex came into the kitchen to.

"Hey Morgan."

"Hey!" I gave her a hug, "How are you?"

"Good, how are you?"

"Great."

Together, we all prepared a fruit bowl, chips and dip, and small little subs with lemonades. After that, we sat with our men and watched the game. The guys were so amped up and rooting and cheering for the Cavs. During the commercial, Christian sparked up a conversation. "So why y'all ugly asses ain't tell us about this engagement?"

"It wasn't even really a proposal." I laughed. "It was just a 'let's get married'."

"Now don't say it like that." Jarron said quickly. "I wanted to propose. You were the one who said you wasn't ready."

"It's okay baby I'm not tripping." I smiled, "We're engaged and that's all that matters."

"Can't wait for a little one to be running around." Asia added.

"Let's get married first." I said, "Then a baby will come."

"I'm happy for y'all man, seriously." Quincy said chugged down a beer they brought over here. "We all came a long way."

"I agree." Christian sighed, "Our life is lit."

We all laughed and the game came back on, "Alright shut up." Jarron said, "It's back on."
