Hard Knocks

Chapter 21 "feeling good"

It was a hot summer here in the city.

I let him take a break once everything was almost done.

" Rock you really must love this shorty"

" with everything in me, I know I probably sound like a punk, but from the first time I saw her she didn't even judge me when I told her what I got hired for"

" damn must be nice"

" well hope she like this"

" I hope so too"

I pray that this work in my favor.

Nia

" oh my goddd you look like a freaking goddesss" Marley said

I stared at myself in the mirror. I was completely shock with my new look.

After stopping by the nail salon Marley made me go to New York & Company to find something.

There was this black dress that stop above my knee that was laced on the arms and show just a little cleavage.

I hope I wasn't over doin it.

" you look extremely beautiful Nia who ever this mystery guy is going to faint" she said messing with my hair.

She wand curled it.

" com'on girl I don't want you to being late"

As Marley drove I start to get a little nervous.

For some reason I kept thinking this was Ashton but I was trying to push that to the back of my head.

" we here girl" Marley said stopping.

I got out looking at the luxurious hotel in front of me.

I was a little confused.

" let me know who it is ok and don't be afraid to use that taser I gave you" Marley reminded me.

" I won't" I said getting out her car.

I watch her leave out of my sight.

" excuse me are you Nia" this butler said to me.

" y-yes that's me"

" Okay I was told by a young man to lead you to the rooftop"

The rooftop?

" um ok" I said unsure.

He held his arm out for me to take as we walked inside the hotel.

We got the elevator going all the way up.

" I'm assuming this is your boyfriend" he asked

" no sir I actually don't know who it is"

The butler looked in shock.

" Well Miss you are in for a treat"

The sound of the elevator "ding" alerted me.

The door of the elevator open into a beautiful scene.

White lights surrounded the whole rooftop.

Along with red rose petals that lead the way to a table that was beautifully decorated.

" Mr. Jennings your date has arrived"

It was Rock.

I almost felled back from the surprise.

He stared at me as I did the same to him.

" thank you" he said walking up to us and dapping the butler.

Once he left it was just me and him.

" you like it?"

My eyes started to swell.

" I-I love this"

" Nia don't cry" he said laughing a little.

Oh my god his pearly whites.

This man looked sooooo good.

" I can't help it this is beautiful"

He grabbed my hand walking me to the table that was lit with candles.

" what made you do this" I said fascinated with every detail.

" to show you how special you are to me" he said with all seriousness

I looked at him as he grabbed both of my hands into his licking his lips.

Oh God help me.

" I wanna be more than friends Nia, you like the woman I wished for when I was a teenager. I know I'm far from perfect but I am hoping you can give us a chance"

I felt so stuck.

" All this time I kept telling myself that he's not into me but I guess I was wrong"

" Rock I would love to give us a chance, they way you took care of me I would be crazy not to"

A smile graced his face.

" com'er" He said

He guided me to sit in his lap. I was so afraid I was going to hurt him.

It felt soothing as he rubbed my lower back close to my butt.

" thank you for giving me a chance"

I decided to be bold. I took both of my hands grabbing his face to come closer to mines.

They were sooo soft and juicy just like I remember.

He rubbed down my back as he continue to kiss me.

I pulled back getting an ideal in my head.

" what's wrong"

" lets finish this at home"

I can tell he was taking back.

" you foreal"

I nodded my head.

He swoops me up making me giggle all the way to the elevator.
