Temptation

Rayleigh's POV
Let's see
I opened my phone to her contact and thought for a minute. Should I? I thought about it.
Hell yea. I chuckled and started to text her.

Me: yo

Mystery girl👀: hey

Me: hyd ma?

Mystery girl👀: good, and u?

Me: same, wyd rn?

Mystery girl👀: just out with some friends

Me: Ight coo, I'm out wit Namir and the rest of the group, wanna hang?👀down by the beachside at Lake Ave.

Mystery girl👀: ye sound good. Be there in 5 mins

Me: Ight😏

I stopped texting and continued to roll my blunt. I dragged from it, startin to smoke. Afew minutes later I saw D'iamond walking towards my car. I was high asf. Damn she so beautiful. She knocked on my window and giggled when I rolled down the window. I raised my eyebrows and she put her hand on her hip. "What?" I asked her looking her up and down. "Lemme in!!" She exclaimed. I unlocked the car doors and she came in on the passenger side. The first few minutes was quiet as hell. "So.." I started smiling. I wasn't cocky around her as I was around other females. She brought out the vulnerable deeper side of me, I don't know how to explain it. It's something about her. "So?" She replied tilting her head and smiling at me.

I smiled back and I decided to drive around town. "Where you from?" I asked not taking my eyes off the road. "Chicago" she simply replied. I glanced at her for a second I could feel her glance at me for a split second. "And you?" She said in shock. I chuckled "Jamaica"

She looked out the window "that's wassup"
I couldn't really think of anything good to say to get to know ha and I sure as hell didn't wanna sound corny but I had to think of something real quick" I bit my lip. "What's yo sign?" I looked over at her and she looked like she was goin laugh. I knew I was goin say sum stupid shit😭 "Whatchu finna laugh fo?" I looked over at her to see her just purely smiling at me. "You" she replied.

After hours of talking, I got to know certain things about her. Her birthday, her age, her name, despite allat she was still a mystery. There was alot I didn't know about her. And I was intrigued. This girl was something I never seen before. I seen her around a couple of times but I never really talked to her. She was beautiful, everybody knew that but she was also quiet and private. Never really knew why. "Enough about me, more about you ma" I said turning to her. She looked me straight in the eyes "not just yet" she said. I looked back into her eyes and blinked for afew minutes. "What the hell?" I thought. This girl got me hella interested.

"Why you so private ma?" I asked her facing her fully now. She directed her body towards me and looked me straight in my face. "I will freely tell people what they need to hear, and what I feel I should tell them, however, with other aspects of my life, I am incredibly private. I am private because I have told people things in confidence and had them used against me. I believe certain things should be kept away, especially personal business." all the lightness and jokes died down and it started to get more deeper and serious. I looked dead in her eyes and the smile I had soon disappeared. "Wow........" I quietly mumbled. She looked up at me then out the window "yeah...wow, there are certain things in my past that are very personal and fucked up that I don't feel very comfortable sharing" I sat back in my sit and just started to think. "Damn....I was not expecting to hear that"

We held eye contact for a nice second and I started driving again "Iggghhhht" I said.

"Rayleigh" she called my name. I looked at her. "Why did you want my number?" I gulped and turned back in the parking lot by the beach to find the lot empty and I got messages from Namir.

Ride or Die: "U good my nigga🤨?"

Me: ye I'm Ight, I'm wit little miss princess😏

Ride or Die: yeah I know I saw dat when u left, she cool asf

Me: I see

"Lemme guess.....Namir?" She said suddenly propping her eyebrows up in assurance
I turned off my phone and looked at her "how you know?" I replied. She pointed to my phone and how it was faced down to where she could see the screen. "Oh......" I trailed off. She snickered at me "mhm" I licked my lips and just looked at her. "Whatchu lookin at?" She said scrunching up her eyebrows. "Shit, yo sexy ass" I smirked biting my lips. She rolled her eyes and laughed "okay, whateva" she opened the car door "I gotta be up tomorrow morning" she said closing the door and walking to her car. "Ight" before she got to her car in time I thought of something to get to know her mo. By the time I was done thinking she had left.

I soon left, I was the only one in the parking lot. When I got home, it was quiet and my aunt was sleep. I stepped in the house quietly, slowly tiptoeing towards the stairs. She fell asleep in the couch, luckily she a heavy sleeper so she won't hear me but who knows, she was unpredictable sometimes. Once I got to the 7th step I heard her start to snore. "Wtf?" I cursed under my breath. I ran up the stairs as quiet as I could and I took off my clothes quick. I ran a shower and I spent a hour in there. It felt so good that I didn't want to get out but I did. Then I rolled up another blunt. I went to bed high as a kite.
