|SEVENTEEN|

"Leek"

"Ugh fuck." I sigh leaning back feeling the hot water go down my body. "Practice was fuckin' me up bae." I complain.

Patience is on the other side of the shower curtain removing her clothes. Soon she hops in with a sympathetic pout on her lips. "Awwe poor baby." She stands on her tippy toes using my shoulder to balance herself she gives me a kiss on the lips.

I give her a small smile while leaning over of grab my body wash. The main thing on my mind quickly washing up so I can take her to pound town. Me and Patience just don't have that whole wash eachother up in the shower and look into eachothers eyes thing. We don't have what me and Coco had.

"How was your day? What you do?" I ask hoping to hear something interesting.

She wraps her arms around my neck and we are face to face. She bites down on her bottom lip before answering me. "I just cleaned up around the apartment, went grocery shopping and slept."

I am tempted to roll my eyes. Simple housewife shit. "You know you ain't have to follow me down here. You could've went back to your people I know this miss you." I state.

It didn't take much for me to get Patience back. Just a please and a I'm sorry. And with that she was right back wrapped around my finger. I just didn't realize how wrapped she is. She wrapped that she followed me all the way to North Carolina to move here with me. She has not hopes, dreams or wants of her on. Whatever I like she likes and whatever I plan to do she's with it. And I guess that's the difference between her and Cassia. Cassia loved herself in the end more than she loved me. Coco could walk away from our bond while Patience on the other hand couldn't. She just loves me that much.

She nods. "I know but I don't want you to be alone."

I unwrap her arms from around me. "I'm a man Patience I'm good by myself." I say seriously.

"Maybe," she shrugs. "But I'm not. I want to be with you and I love being here with you."

I run my hand down my face stepping away letting the water run down my back. "I know and I love you being here too. But what about when tours start happening and I'm gone a lot? You gotta have a game plan for yourself."

She rolls her eyes. "You are my game plan."

I scrunch my face up. "Fuck is that supposed to mean?" Am I tripping or did she just basically say that I'm some type of meal ticket for her...?

Patience quickly starts shaking her head. "Baby I didn't mean it like that."

"Yeah okay." I mumble and I turn my back to her ignoring her the rest of the time. Not even in the mood to fuck her anymore.

"Cas"

"It hurts so bad." I whine feeling the worst cramps I've ever felt in my life. A heating pad against my stomach and a soft fuzzy blanket wrapped around my body. A pillow on his lap and my face laying against it.

Carson moves my hair out of my face trying his best to comfort me. "Want some more medicine? Some water or tea?"

I shake my head my eyes watering. "I-I'm just so stupid. I'm just so messed up." I speak down on myself.

He frowns at me. "You are beautiful, smart and one of the most down to Earth females I know. And this ain't at all your fault. Okay? That's his fault for doing you how he did." He leans down placing a kiss on my cheek.

I cuddle closer to him and he allows me to.

Basically DC ended back in town when Keisha told me that she wouldn't be able to be with me everyday since she has to work. Luckily I got an hotel room for the moment but she still felt like I needed someone around. As uncomfortable as I felt talking to Carson about what happened it felt good to speak to a man about what I've been thru and actually feel safe telling him. And he's been so sweet, caring and compassionate about it. I keep apologizing for having him come down here and he's missing practices and what not but he told me to stop worrying.
