Jayda Cheaves pov
The ride back to vons house is quiet in the car with Bryson and honestly there's not much to say .
After he offered me a place to stay at the apartment he bought and I politely declined , the mood has definitely changed .
He's my friend and all and I appreciate him for looking out for me but I'm very comfortable with where I'm at at the moment and although it upsets him it's the truth .
I know bryson wants to spoil me and give Me a place to stay with no cost but not only did Von give me somewhere To stay but he gave me a way to be independent and make my own money . I dont want to be in another situation where I'm dependent and just stay at home waiting for a man to come home .
Plus I think Von and I are really working on our relationship in a postitive way , and I would hate for it to end with me leaving as soon as we get to the good part. I've waited all month for this . I can't just throw it all the way for Bryson , friend or not .
We pull up in front of vons house and he stops the car keeping his eyes forward as I look at him . I know just getting out of the car will leave us on a sour note , and I don't want him to leave my life, he just can't play the role he wants to . I still need him as a friend
"Bryson ?" I questions
"Hmm?" He answers without looking at me
"Are you upset ?"I asks kind of already knowing the answer
"Nah "he shakes his head "Ian mad at ya got nun but love fa ya do yo thing boy " he recites then busts out laughing and I join him . Wow i guess I was wrong . He's not mad . Which is even weirder.
"Wait why ?" I question
"Ion know I just figured it was a reach to ask fa allat i mean you just got comfortable here and you need time to think about it "he nods and I smile moving in closer to him . He is so understanding I swear he deserves someone way better than me .
"You're amazing bryson " I tell him and he smiles
"You could be to if you fuck with me " he says and I shake my head chuckling "nah forreal though I respect your decisions you grown , just know you got somewhere to go if shit go left again " he says seriously as I smile and plant a kiss on his cheek
"I love you seriously "I say as he looks over and grins "and I'm so proud of you for getting your own place you deserve it "
"I appreciate it " he nods
"I appreciate you , thank you for understanding " I say simply as he nods .
I drag out a few more goodbyes and give him a hug before getting out the car making my way towards the door .
I'm honestly so glad that situation ended like that . I thought bryson was mad Forreal and going to cut me off for not moving in with him but the fact that he understands my decision further proves how much of an amazing friend he really is . That's why I keep him around , he's like my personal Angel or something. I need positivity like that around Me .
I make it to the door and twist it open signaling to bryson it's okay to drive off before turning around bumping into a hard body making me gasp until I look up and see that it's Von
"Hey "I smile as he gives me a stale face then looks down at his imaginary watch on his wrist before facing me .
"What time I told you to come back ?" He asks making me just smile and shake my head pulling him into a hug
"I missed you too "i tell him honestly holding him closely looking up at him I know that's why he's acting all controlling. I wanted to stay with him too .
"I'm serious jayda what you was doing that took so long ?" He asks pulling me inside the house closing the door as I still hold him while we walk into the foyer
"He was showing me his new apartment " I tell him honestly being that I have no reason to lie
"The fuck that gotta do wit you ?" He questions looking down at me
"He finally moved out on his own and he just wanted me to see it "i say and he nods a little understanding "plus he asks me to stay with him "I slip in quietly attempting to walk off as he grabs my arm pulling me back
"The fuck you just say ?" He questions
"Huh ?"i respond only making him more upset . Oh my god is Von ...jealous ? There's just no way! I never thought I would see this day coming .
"Why the fuck would that nigga asks you to stay wit him ?" He asks "you don't wanna be here ?"
"Not it's not that, He just be wanting to make sure I'm safe Von "
"he ain't seem to give a fuck when ole dude was beating yo ass why he care so much now ?" He questions and I can't help but to crack a smile . Yes I laugh at my trauma , especially now that I'm away from it . Gotta laugh to keep from crying .
"It's not even that deep cause I told him no " I say simply pulling him into another hug puckering my lips for a kiss . With him reacting like this I don't have to step on egg shells wondering if he regret what happened last night , he clearly enjoyed it as much as I did if he's showing so much emotion right now .
"You better had said no Nigga " he frowns and bends down so my lips can reach his as I giggle and plant kisses on him "that nigga bold as hell for asking though like imma bitch , I got sumn for em " he says
"Oh my god leave him alone he was just being a good friend "I wave him off and attempt to move away but he holds me in front of him looking down at me seriously .
"You wanna move out ?" He asks in a softer tone with what looks like pleading eyes causing me to melt in his hands
"Of course not " I mumble and he nods bending down planting a soft moist kiss on my lips causing me to feel like I'm in a daze . I don't think moving anywhere would top this feeling right now . I'm like putty in his hands
"Good "he smirks slapping my ass softly kissing me again " I was just starting to fuck wit you , don't dip on me "
"I would never " I say staring into his eyes hoping he knows I mean my words sincerely . I find myself falling for him more every second we're around each other, and honestly it's starting to get scary how much he affects me .
"go get ready " he tells me smirking making me furrow my eyebrows .
"For what ?"I asks
"We got invited to a kick back "he tells me
"We ?"I question shocked
"Yeah you my plus one " he says making me smile
"Your taking me out in front of everybody ?" I asks excitedly.
I don't know why but for some reason I would assume Von wouldn't want me around when it comes down to him and his friends having real fun , but I guess I was wrong . Maybe I'm just another one of his his friend , or something more to be a plus one .
"Don't get all soft and shit its at the trap " he waves me off and I chuckle hugging him
"Still means just as much "I grin while he just smiles at me shaking his head . "Gosh I wonder what I'm going to wear " I sigh already overthinking
"Wear pink " he says before turning around making his way towards the stairs making me stare at him the entire way until he disappears into the hallway .
I don't know what we have going on exactly, but gahdamn I love it
-
One hour later
"How do I look ?" I asks Von as we meet at the top of the stairs coming out of the separate rooms . I have on pink as instructed and so does he , looking amazing as always . I love that matching it our thing now .
"You look bad as fuck " he smirks licking his lip snaking his arm around my waist pulling me close to his body "if we ain't have ta go out I'll fuck you on these stairs " he says making my body tingle as I smirk
"We don't have to go out "I smile grabbing his head pulling it down to my level to connect our lips together for a gentle kiss .
I debate on pulling away but instead slide my tongue across his bottom lip asking for entrance causing him to part his lips just enough for me to enter deepening our kiss wrapping both my arms around his neck making sure to take in his plump lips as I indulge in this passionate kiss we're sharing . It doesn't matter what part of our bodies touch I will always melt feeling him , thinking about him , and even talking to him . I just can't get enough .
"You tryna distract me ?" He mumbles on my lips careful to not break our kiss
"Maybe " I mumble moving my hands down his chest until I reach his waist caressing it slowly .
"Why ?you scared to be around my folks ?" he questions and I smile a little finally breaking the kiss staring at him
" I am a little nervous" l admit
"Fa what ?"
"it's not really my crowd and I know all your little hoes are going to be there . I'm really not up for the drama" I tell him honestly as he laughs nodding
"Yeah you right but so what ? You wit me that's what matters " he says . I'm with him . The words sound so beautiful coming out of his mouth .
"You gone keep me safe ?" I question sarcastically
"Hell yeah and them hoes and on shit anyways , I'll call yo nigga up hea to beat they ahh " he says making me laugh definitely easing my nerves . His kentrell jokes be killing me even though kentrell really damn near killed me "you ready now ?" He questions and I sigh
"I guess "I mumble rolling my eyes while he pulls me into him kissing his cheek
"I promise you gone have fun "
I take in his words as we walk down the stairs and get into one of his black cars making our way to the destination. His right hand rests on my thigh the entire ride as he whips the wheel the his left smiling at me ever so often as if it's his little check up which I appreciate so much !
"So is the theme pink Friday or something?" I asks to spark a conversation just to hear his voice and he laughs shaking his head
"Where The fuck you think you going a royal ball ? Ain't no damn theme " he chuckles and I join him
"I was just wonder why you told me to wear pink " I shrug
"Cause I like when we match " he says without looking at me causing the biggest smile to cover my face
"Awe really " i chirp wrapping my hands around him arm
"You so soft I Swea " he shakes his head "you gotta be a thug especially up in hea these hoes gone try you and you gotta represent me right " he tells me
"Dess Gone be here ?" I asks remembering how she tried me at the club
"Shii ion know depending on which nigga from the trap she fucking this week " he shrugs "why? you ducking ha? "
"Neva "I frown as he smiles brightly and nods
"That's that shit i like to hear " he smirks pulling up to the familiar trap house I came to once before
"Cmon love " he mumbles grabbing my hand .
