Jayda point of view
I wake up yawning as I wipe the crust out of my eyes , checking my phone seeing that it's six in the morning . How convenient is it for me to wake up this early being that I didn't go to sleep until three cause I was bawling my eyes out looking at old pictures of my parents and i all night . I don't think the reality of them being dead will every really click until a long time .
I mean in my head I still imagine them being snuggled up in our small home back in Louisiana watching romantic movies waiting for me to come home , but to think that that's not a reality anymore is something I can't handle and I refuse to come to terms with it .
The only positive thought I can actually say I'm having right now is the fact that I didn't get bullied or beaten out of my sleep this morning . Waking up in a safe calm environment is so different from waking up next to a raging kentrell digging his fist into whatever part of my body is exposed . I don't have to worry bout his mood swings or his constant insults . It's so peaceful in this house and quiet as if I'm the only person in here even though I'm not because of von ...
Von is someone I just don't understand yet . One minute hes cold and rude , next minute he's helpful and caring , then all at the same time he's nonchalant and insulting . He's literally the most confusing being I've came across in a while . I mean at least kentrell is a consistent ass hole , I never know with Von but im going to need to start knowing especially today now that he's letting me do this work with him .
Although im afraid of the unknown and unexpected , I know this is my only way to make the right amount of money I need to get out of here and start all the way over . And by out of here I don't just mean this house , I mean the city in general . Maybe I'll go to New York , or hell even Atlanta. Just somewhere where I can start over and not have to be looking over my shoulder or worried about someone coming after me . I just want to escape from the drama and problems and I know this is the quick money I need to do so . Plus the only reason vons letting me do it so I can get out of his way and his house , he's not fooling nobody !
I wait a few minutes before getting out the bed and going to the bathroom to shower and do my morning hygiene routine before digging in my bags for clothes to wear .
As stressful as it was to get my clothes from kentrells house I'm glad I did cause one thing I have if I don't have anything else is style ! I can't be out here looking busted . Poor or not .
I slick my hair back in a tight bun and lay down my edges before throwing on a tight black jumpsuit with a light jacket over it and a orange purse . Something light .
I look in the mirror pleased with my appearance and put on a little lipgloss before walking out the room to an empty hallway . I look over the rail to an empty downstairs before making my way down .
No pictures on the walls , no live in girlfriend , no friends over ? This house must be new or something because I would assume he would have photos of his child or even himself up somewhere . I can't even believe he has a child especially with the way he moves. I know his baby mother be stressed the fuck out . Not that it's any of my business but I am nosey .
I walk into his kitchen and open his refrigerator to see it damn near empty making me sigh . Of course it's empty , this man probably never be at this house .
I pull out the jelly bread and peanut butter and start making some sandwiches . This isn't exactly an ideal start to my day but I'm making the best out of everything now that I'm away from kentrell. I will eat an ice sandwich at this point as long as I'm safe .
I hum to myself lowly swaying around the kitchen finding a small bag to put vons sandwich in then cutting mine into a triangle before taking a bite .
"Damn "I hear behind me causing me to turn around to see von fully dressed looking at me over the island . I let my eyes rake his body taking in his appearance causing me to clear my throat trying to control my breathing .
"For you to have been a prisoner you sho'll can put dat shit on " he says looking me up and down making my knees damn near buckle .
Get a fucking grip jayda !
"You too " I say off instinct "I mean you can dress "I correct myself
"Oh I know " he chuckles a little adjusting his jacket "fuck you got goin on ?"he questions looking at the sandwich in my hand
"Oh I made you this ?" I smile holding it out to him . He furrows his eyebrows and grabs it slowly
"Fa what ? You think we going on a field trip or something?" He asks
"Well I don't really know how drug drops work but I figured you don't want to do it on an empty stomach " I point out causing a small smile to cover his face before he chuckles
"Yeah you fired already " he shakes his making me smile "I appreciate it tho folks but it's a reason you don't eat until after the job done "he tells her
"And why is that ?" I asks him
"You'll see "he grins looking almost like a demon while I look at him confused for a while until he start walking towards the door
"Okay we're leaving now cool " I mumble running after him to catch up . I wince a little finally catching up to him as we reach the garage door and he turns around to frown
"What's wrong ?" He asks me eyeing my legs . "Why you limping ?"
I guess I've been so use to limping from kentrells beatings that I don't even notice I do it no more . It's become so normal " just a little soar " I nod and he shakes his head
" that's a damn shame " he shakes his head " The only time I would Eva have my girl limping is if the night before I fucked the shit outta ha " he says in a raspy low tone causing my body to tense up while he eyes my body one last time before opening the garage door leaving me stuck .
I feel goosebumps racing down my skin as I try to shake what he said off sighing a little bit . Why must he say shit like that ? He must not know the affect he has on peoples body with just his words . Especially mine !
"Hurry the fuck up ! " I hear following a car horn causing me to jump then walk quickly into his garage seeing at least ten cars inside .
"Damn how many cars do you need " i gasps shaking my head getting in the rolls Royce he decides to drive today .
"It's nice to have options " he grins opening the garage speeding off
"Yeah I bet "i roll my eyes at him then look off
I have to keep myself distracted when I'm around him or else I will have some very bad thoughts and since we're mixing business with a place to stay I don't want to mess that up by being intimate or crushing on him . I need to keep it professional, no matter how hard he makes it.
"So ! " I start smiling brightly to break the silence " now that we're business partner- "
"Unt Unt " he starts interrupting me "you fucking up already "he shakes his head "I'm the boss you the worker we're not partners . "He empahsizes "I'm the ceo you the employee , I'm king pin you the runner , I'm bird man you young thug " he continues while I bust out laughing
"Okay I get it "I chuckle "can I at least be the sidekick ? " I question
"Depends " he shrugs
"On ?"
"How you do today " he says sternly looking over at me
"Well what are we doing?" I asks curiously
"Rule number one of you gone roll wit me " he holds up a finger "don't asks me questions " he says
"Boy get out who do you think you are ?" I question shaking my head . He talk like he own the world or something.
"I told you ceo, you don't question your boss do you ? "He asks lowly looking over to me letting our eyes meet making me sigh
"No I don't " I shake my head feeling myself in a trance again . I really wish it could stop but it's like kinetic glue continuing to stick me to him . I can't get enough . I have to snap out of it .
"Cmon "he says stopping the car in front of a packed ass house making me furrow my eyebrows
"Woah where we at ?" I asks him and he smirks at me
"You wanna deal right ?" He questions .
Do I ? This is house is filled with god knows who and Von already scaring me ain't no telling what his 'employees ' are like
"I guess "I nod
"Aight den Cmon don't be no pussy " he tells me getting out the car . I roll my eyes and huff doing the same adjusting my clothes trying to speed walk to catch up to him . Here goes nothing ....
"You know you could walk a little slower " I mumble to him as we approach the door
"Fa what ? Ion wait on nobody " he tells me walking even faster inside the house . Ugh I hate when he be in his vms mode . I call that vonmenstrual syndrome . He's always such an ass .
"Von please slow dow-" I stop as I catch up to him and my eyes pop out the sockets "woah " I mumble looking at the room full of guys with drugs and guns laid out on the table .
Some of them are packing the drugs and the others or loading the guns but ALL of them look so intimidating. Never did I think I would be the only female here . Where all the thug bitches at .
"Awe shit my Nigga you fucking rain too! ?" one of the guys yell out causing me to be even more shocked " ha ass fat as fuck I know that shit sound like Chicago in the night time " He says causing laughs only embarrassing me more
"Shut yo goofy ass up Durk " Von shakes his head pulling out a chair at the table "sit down " he tells me and I debate on arguing with his demanding tone then decide not to being that the entire room would instigate it "niggas this is rain , rain these are niggas " Von does his version of an introduction as I sit down
" hey" I wave at them with a small smile trying to hide my nervousness . This feel like the first day of school when the teacher is trying to force you to introduce yourself to the class .
"Wassup baby " one of them grins showing the Diamonds on his teeth
"I like those " I compliment him pointing and he smiles wider
"Oh really ?- "
"That's enough " Von say eyeing him and he hold his hands up chuckling winking at me while I just laugh .
Von begins to talk causing the entire room to grow quiet but all i can really hear is my heart beating out my chest as he runs down the plan for the day .
His lips moves so slow as he wets them every now and then with his tongue and side eyes me probably wondering if I'm paying attention which I'm not . His face and mannerisms distract me more than anything .
The way his arms move when he explains , the way his jaw clenches when he gets frustrated, the way his eyes squint when he listens . It's so many small features that catch my attention and make me want to just moan for no damn reason . I ain't never met nobody whose body language was sexy . He's definitely the first .
"Rain ? " I hear causing me to snap out of my trance
"Hmm ? " I question looking into his eyes
"Did you hear me ? " he asks
"Mhm " I nod lying trying to retain what he said . I didn't hear a damn thing . Focus jayda damn
"Aight den Cmon ."
