Ariella POV// Ari
I was in the house all alone so I thought, just listening to Nivea laundromat blast through the speakers.
"I'm heading to the laundromat" I sing into the broom as if it was a microphone.
I heard foot steps coming from the steps and when I snapped my head back it was Taurus homeboy Rio coming down the stairs.
"Oh shit I thought I was alone" I cut the music and hold my chest.
"You good ma" he smiled before licking his bottom lip in a seductive manner.
I let out uneasy chuckle and just slept the kitchen floor.
" you look good" he told me
"Uhhh thank you?" Mind you I only have on Calvin Klein Draws and a tank top with no bra.
"Mhm" he said touching my waist going to the refrigerator. "You good?"
"You good?"
"What?"
"Touching me like me and yo homeboy ain't together" I say mugging him.
"He don't gotta know, I knew you wanted me since yesterday"
"Nigga what is you talking about? I'm happy with who I'm wit"
"Mm he gon believe you or me? You a bitch he met last year he knew me for years Ari" he chuckled evilly.
"You're sick" I spat before taking my ass upstairs. I locked myself in that bedroom until Taurus was home
I was really at unease because what he said like would Taurus believe him over me? Possibly. It was getting on my nerves so I tried my hardest to forget about it.
The doorknob jiggled but Rio has been jiggling it for the past two hours.
"Ari why the fuck this door locked?" I heard Taurus voice on the other side.
"Must've locked it on accident" I say letting him in.
"Right..." he said eyeing me a little bit looking all around the room.
"What you looking like that for?" I say sitting on the bed.
"Ion know" he said opening the bathroom door.
"Look behind the curtain too ain't nobody in here"
"Just had to look" he said changing clothes.
"I guess" I chuckle with my attention on my computer.
"I'm so fucking tired been working all damn day"
"Why didn't you tell me that umm when you left Rio was still here?" I ask looking over at him.
"Oh my bad, you was sleep when I left so I just forgot"
"Okay" I say quietly looking back at the computer screen.
"Why? What's wrong?"
"Nothing" I lie "I am tired and ready for bed let's go to bed"
"Hold on real quick" he got up and went downstairs.
Taurus POV// Polo
I went downstairs seeing Rio on the couch watching family matters and eating a big ass bowl of cereal.
"What y'all do today?" I ask going to the kitchen
"Nothing she cleaned the kitchen and what not. Why?"
"Nothing just asked" I shrug getting what I needed and went back upstairs.
I seen Ari on her phone texting. Thumbs was moving 90 miles per hour.
"Who you texting?"
"I'm thinking about collaborating with Toosii"
"Oh word?"
"Yeah but I'm not sure right now would be a good time cause I got other things"
"Oh yeah" I say climbing next to her.
"Taurus?"
"Hmm" I hum wrapping my arms around her.
"I- never mind"
"Come on Ari day what you gotta say"
"Rio"
"What about him?" I ask sitting up.
"When you were gone he was tryna hit on me and saying shit like if I told you, you wouldn't believe me but you would believe him because you've known him longer. And I've never had any of these problems with any of your other friends so you gotta-" she says before I stop her.
"Ari chill" I chuckle "I believe you"
"Okay" she sighed.
"Ima handle it aight" I kiss her forehead.
"Okay" she snuggled her way on to me.
I would've got up and handled it now but she looked tired so I just let her sleep.
Ariella POV// Ari
Taurus told me I should get out the house and have a self care day but I had promised Yanna the next time I did that she could come along. So he offered to pay for it all. I called my security guard of course.
"Whew yeah I need a deep tissue massage" Yanna said as we walking in the spa.
"Mrs. Bartlett?"
"Yes I am she" I smile.
"Right this way" she smiled leading me and Yanna to the back.
"Okay so if you ladies don't mind getting undressed your masseuse will be with you soon"
"Thank you" me and Ayanna say together.
She nodded walking out the room and we got undressed putting on the robes.
"Thank God for Taurus" Yanna sighed in relief as her masseuse poured her oil.
I wasn't in the mood to talk right now I just needed to relax.
After about 35 minutes it was all over.
"I could cry" Yanna said once we started walking out.
"That felt too good" I say walking to the car.
I wanted to get my nails and feet done so that's where we headed next.
"Whew ya man came in clutch"
"Mhm"
"We're here" the new body guard Timothy said parking the car.
He got out got Yanna's door and mine with us walking behind him.
"How can I help you?" One of the people in the mail salon asked.
"Two manicures and two pedicures"
"This way"
We were seated at the massage chairs she ran the water but we were waiting for someone to assist us.
"How's school?" I ask
"Could be better"
"Met anyone new?"
"Umm yes actually I'm talking to this dude name Justin" she started to smile shyly.
"You like him huh?" I tease.
"Yeah he cool or whatever"
"Aww look at you"
"Shut up" she said rolling her eyes.
The people came over and finally got started.
"I really want a niece" she frowned.
"Too bad you got a nephew" I stick my tongue out.
"Next go round I want a niece"
"Baby this is it" I chuckle
"Hahahaha that's what you think" she snickered.
"Crazy kid" I shake my head.
Taurus POV// Polo
"What's up I wanna talk to you"I tell Rio.
"Aight"
"So how was your stay?"
"It was nice thanks to you and Ari" he smiled.
"Yeah Ari is something ain't she"
"Mhmm" he low key tried to bite his lip "but ya girl man she different"
"Why you say that?" I ask knowing I already know.
"She was flirting with me and grabbing on my dick yesterday. I didn't wanna say nothing but shit I thought as your homie I should"
"What? Really?"
"Yeah" he nodded thinking I believed him.
"Wow that's crazy cause last night Ari told me it was the other way around" I say with a straight face.
"I- I- was-"
"Save that shit" I got out my chair and he got out his.
"You really believing that bitch over me?"
"That bitch is my baby mama"
"Man whatever that hoe using you"
That was the last I had of that and before I knew it my fist was in his face. Contact with every hit.
"Baby?" I heard Ari's voice.
"Get the fuck out" I yell one last time before kicking his side.
"Hey-"
"Damn what happened to him?" Yanna asked seeing Rio limp out.
"He just fell or some shit" I shrugged sitting on the couch.
"Yanna go upstairs I need to
Talk to Taurus"
"Alright"
"What's up baby you had a good time?" I asked her sweetly.
"Cut the bullshit you was beating on that boy?"
"Hell yeah" I shrug.
"Why? You do know you could go to jail again? I can't have you locked up again" she said breaking down crying.
"Shh baby I'm sorry I didn't think about that" I hug her as tight as possible.
"You gotta start thinking it's a baby in the picture now" she wiped her face.
"I will now I'm sorry"
"It's okay" she said hugging me back.
"I love you"
" I love you too" she said and then her hands touched my ass.
"Stop that shit right now bro" I pull away from her.
"Come on baby" she winked at me "you like that"
"Nah you on something" I shake my head.
"Don't act like you ain't know I was like this"
"Nah I thought it was just a phase and you was done"
"This for life baby" she licked her lips giving me the light skin face.
"You different I should've thought more about who I was nutting in"
"You nutted in me on purpose?" She asked.
"Nah it was a more in the moment thing" I shrug grabbing my p5 controller
"We going on Maury and Ima find out" she gave me a stank eye before going upstairs.
