Zion POV
2 Weeks Later.
Things were going very well between KB and I. We spent more time together and we established boundaries so that we wouldn't go down the same road that we had before. But ever since I admitted to myself that I really like him, I haven't wanted to spend much time away from him. He was becoming my safety and panic zone at the same time. Safe because he just made me feel comfortable. Scary because I could feel myself falling for this man.
It was Sunday and I had been laid up under KB all weekend. We were currently in bed still watching Coraline on TV. Since it was close to Halloween it had been on TV nonstop. I love the movie but KB thinks it creepy as hell. I had to beg him so that we could watch the movie. I was petting Bella while my leg was cocked over KBs waist and he had a firm grasp on my booty. I swear this nigga loved my booty more than anything else.
"Why we gotta watch this creepy ass movie." He looked down at me. "I swear we seen this movie like ten times in the past week. I'mma kick you out if I gotta watch this shit one more time." I rolled my eyes.
"What else do you suggest we do Babe?" He smiled at the new nickname I had taken up.
"I wanna go to the studio tonight. I got a bit on my mind." He had been on the phone with his mom earlier today and he would not tell me what was going on. He just got really quiet and sad. So I went out and got his favorite foods, we had been just chilling and watching tv all day.
"Okay but first you gotta tell me what happened with your mom earlier." I held his hand and looked at him closely.
"I told you to drop it Zion, its not that big of a deal." He rolled his eyes and got out of bed.
"It is though. You were quiet and stuff, I can tell it made you upset. Maybe talking to me about it will help you work through it. All I'm saying is that working through this alone isn't necessary if you have me." I walked over to his side of the bed and stepped in between his legs, I put my hands in his hair to play.
He sighed and wrapped his arm around my waist and put his face to my stomach.
"I swear I got lucky with you man. Beauty, brains, and a heart." I smiled and put my fingers under his chin.
"Thanks, now tell me what's wrong."
"My older sister Jenny, she lost her job. Which she really needs cause her son, my nephew, has sickle cell anemia. He has it under control, as long as he has his medicine. But now she is going to have to pay full cost for because she lost the insurance too." He interlocked our fingers while explaining the situation.
"Does she live up here?"
"Yeah she is one of my closest sisters that I was telling you about before. I mean I'm not that worried about the medicine because I can pay for that, no problem. My whole family knows that as long as we got each other's back we good. But my sister needs a job to stay grounded. She struggles with anxiety and depression and too much free time is not good for her. So I just been thinking of what I can do to help her other than help her out money wise."
"Did she go to college?" He looked at me curiously.
"Yeah she has an associate's degree in finance. Her last job was at some finance company that went under. She had just been promoted to a financial adviser. She was about to start raking in some real money." His hands had started caressing my bare thighs.
"Give me her information, our company is hiring right now because they are merging with another company soon. So they are looking for people to do a bit of consulting to make sure everything is done right." His eyes widened.
"You serious Baby?" I chuckled at his response. I continued playing in his hair.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I separated from him and went to my drawer to get clothes so that we can get to the studio. Yes I have a drawer in this guy's house I got three in fact. My baby so good to me.
"For real Zi, I owe you baby girl. Whatever you want you got it. You want space in the closest you got it, you want some of my food, and you got it. You want some head, you got it." I rolled my eyes at the last one. I turned around to face him.
"None of that is necessary. What I want you to do is stop trying to handle problems by yourself; I thought we were in this together. Why wouldn't you just tell me?" I walked into the bathroom while he found some sweats to put on.
"I don't know I'm not used to having a girl that wants to help, or that can help. I'm used to helping my family by myself and solving problems on my own. It's not that I didn't want to tell you, I didn't want to burden you with the problem."
"I'm a big girl Anthony, I can handle it. And I can be helpful. Next time don't sulk around tell me what's up so we can get through shit together. We both want this relationship, whatever the fuck it is, to continue into something more, right?" I looked out into the bedroom at him. He looked at me silently while I got ready. "So we gotta learn how to lean on each other for support." He walked into the bathroom and wrapped his arms around my body trapping me against the sink. He pressed his lips into mine repeatedly until things got a little heavy.
I pulled away. "Stop you said you want to go to the studio. I put on clothes for you lets go." His face had found its way to my neck. He began to leave hickies on one that was already fading. "KB stop. Walter already looking at me sideways for the one you left on me a week ago."
"Fuck that nigga." His voice came out muffled. I rolled my eyes and pushed him away.
"Let's go." I went down stairs to put on my shoes so that we could go to the studio. We got in his car and drove downtown. It doesn't take us a long time to get there but his fat ass wanted to stop for food, so we got there thirty minutes after we told Ni and AJ to meet us there.
"Wassup man." Kb and AJ dapped each other up as we arrived in the studio. I hugged AJ then went over to Naomi and sat in her lap.
"Get off of me with your fat ass. Only KB wants all of that on him." She yelped and tried to push me off her.
"You ain't ever lied Naomi." KB chuckled as he went in to the booth.
"You ready to lay down the track already?" AJ sat at his seat in front of the sound board as he looked at KB to make sure he was ready.
"Yeah man, been thinking about this one for a while." KB looked at me and winked. I found my own seat next to Ni, and made myself comfortable. I nodded my head along as the beat started up. I know it was about to be good, he was so good at what he does. I maintained eye contact as KB started up.
Bad thang, fine as hell, thick as fuck

And I'm 300, nigga keep ya feet runnin'
I chief keef keef when I eat these beats
Better boy get scurred
Don't run up in my lane, I don't want you in my lane
You a lame, get swerved
Cause great scenes might be great
But I love your bloopers
And perfect's for the urgent
Baby I want forever

He licked his lips and looked at me through the glass. Lord this man is too fine. I'm glad we were able to work everything out. I smiled at him as he finished out the song.
