I think I love you

Back home

I wake and start getting dressed kinda excited cause I get to pick up Ryland today.
I brush my teeth then go downstairs.
"Hello Wendy" I say happy, "good morning Lessie, and I told you that you can call me mom" "right" I smile.
"Do you wanna go by yourself to get him?" She asks, I nod. "Okay, be safe" she says, "I will" I say leaving.

I'm halfway there and I get a phone call from an unmarked number.
"Hello?" I say confused.
"Did you enjoy those pictures?" The person asks, and I knew that voice immediately. "James you motherfucker!" I yell, "hey calm down baby I was just helping" "no! Don't call me baby, you ruined my boyfriends reputation" "don't worry he doesn't deserve you, you can be with me" "what the fuck no you psycho, you abused me throughout our entire relationship and you expect me to come crawling back?" "Yes I do, I'm sorry" "are you high? You little bitch I'm never coming back to you ever! You deserve to rot and die in a hole that I dig myself" I say more angry, "James never call me again" I hang up. Then block the number.

I get to my destination, and go to the front desk.
"Oh you're back" the front desk lady says, "yes I am" I say.
I'm fed up with this bullshit.
"I here to get Ryland storms" "oh yes I need you to sign some paperwork then he'll be right out" "okay" I sigh.

I start signing the papers after a few minutes I finish, and bring them back to her.

Ryland comes out, and I engulf him in a tight hug. He kisses my forehead "I missed you" I say, "me too" he says, and kisses me. "Can we leave this motherfucker I'm tired of looking at this people" he says, "okay" I say and we leave.

We hold hands in the car. "Babe I didn't thank you" "what do you mean?" He asks, "well for fighting James and-" "Lessie you don't need to, it's what he needed to be put in his place" "and also there's one more problem maybe another" I say, he looks at me.

I sigh, "well social media knows that you got arrested, and James sent pictures of the incident to tiktokroom" "fucking bitch" he says upset, "I know" I say. "and James called me on my way to you, trying to get with me again and saying that he was just helping by sending the pictures"

I already hate my life why do people go through some much trouble to make it harder? But it's not me I'm mostly worried about it's Ryland. I know that he doesn't shut down and cave in his emotions like me but still I wanna make sure that he's okay after all the times he has for me.

We get to his moms house and walk through the door. She's in the living room, she hugs Ryland and me. I smile.
"Thanks for comforting me mom" I say, and hug her again. "What the fuck I was gone for three days and you're calling her mom?!" "Surprise" I say.

He goes upstairs to get our stuff.
"Keep him out of trouble" she says hugging me again. "Of course I will, but we'll just have to deal with fans and paparazzi" I say.

Ryland comes back downstairs, she hugs him and kisses his check.
We all walk to the door and she leads us out.
I get in the passenger seat, and Ryland gets in the drivers seat, and we start to drive back to LA.
-

Of course we made a stop to the hype house so I could see Mia.

We walk through the door of the house "heyyyy" I say to everyone as we walk in. "LESSIE!" Mia shouts and comes running at me basically body slamming me into a hug, and knocks us on the floor.
"I missed you too" I say, while we're both on the floor.

She gets off of me and helps me up.
"How are you?" She asks Ryland, "fine I guess" he says. "Okay, well other than that, I missed my baby" she says hugging me again.

We walk to the kitchen island, and we all sit down. Calvin, Michael, and brunette come into the kitchen.
"Lessie that's Michael lady friend taty, taty this is Lessie" Mia says, we both greet eachother with hi's.
"My question why are you dating this musty boy?" I ask her, she laughed "not sure" she answers. "Damn you could atleast defend me" Michael says. Me and her both laugh.
We stay at the hype house, for a little then Ryland drives us home.

I get out the car, and someone starts walking to the car with a camera.
"Alessia how are you" "good" I answer, Ryland closes the truck and walks next to me. "How are you Ryland after you being arrested being all over the internet?"
"Well kinda wish the person that released the pictures would respect my privacy" he answers.

I grab his hand to hold, he lifts up mine and kisses it.

"We'll do you guys know who released the photos?" The paparazzi guys asks, "um yes we do but I don't really feel comfortable releasing that information" I say. "Alright well have a nice night" he says.

He leaves, and we walk into the apartment building in the elevator, "well now they know where we live" I say, "it's not like they're getting in" he says to me and hugs me.

The elevator stops and I unlock the door.
"Ahhh yes home" I say, and jump over to the couch. Ryland laughs a little.
