WICKED: HEXED TWO || URBAN (CB)

Chapter 24

Anais Jones
Tonight was probably one of the best and most embarrassing nights of my life. First of all, I saw a whole new side to Joshua that I haven't seen before. He was more romantic and open about himself.

We had more meaningful conversations and really got to know each other. He was actually a really dope guy.

But shit got awkward when Luca popped up out of nowhere. He did that time to time and it got on my last nerves. I didn't know if he was really trying to "protect me" or if he was just being a selfish weirdo.

I didn't need his silly ass protection anyways. I was good on my own and happy taking care of my kids using co-parenting.

Luca was gone have to let go of whatever it was that we had in the past. It was a done deal. He fucked up. We didn't work together.

"I had a great time with you, Anais." Josh spoke, interrupting me from my thoughts.

I looked over at him. He was so pretty in the dim lighting of my apartment floor's hallway. We were almost in front of my apartment before we stopped walking.

"I had fun with you too." I smiled. "A lot. And I'm so sorry about...that person."

"Who happened to be..."

"My kids father...I think he means well but he just gets carried away. You know?" I sighed, coming clean.

He nodded his head, taking a deep breath. "Is he going to be crashing all of our dates like that? He seems a little...crazy."

"Oh no! And he's nothing to worry about. Trust me." I lied, knowing damn well what Luca was capable of. But to be honest...it'd been 6 years. I think he would have learned his lesson. Plus he was a real changed man.

He was the bigger person tonight and I was proud of him in a way.

Josh nodded his head. "I just want you to be safe. I'm really starting to like you. A lot."

"I am too. I'm so glad we met." I smirked.

Josh and I stared into each others eyes. And at the end of every date in the history of dates, the people always kissed or slept with each other.

Obviously, me and Josh went the cliché route and kissed. First on the cheek. Then he pecked me on the lips. I pulled away, looking him in the eyes.

He actually did seem into me. And you know I was in to him. I wasnt gone let Luca stop me from finding somebody else.

I went back into kiss him, pulling him in by his jacket. He was hella into it too. I was taken back by my own boldness. I couldn't believe I was putting myself out there. Usually never did but...here I was.

Kissing on this man, possibly trying to distract myself from the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about Luca. But I kissed him until it felt like our lips could literally fall off.

When we pulled away from each other, I could tell he had this lil smile on his face that suggested he liked the kiss. I was sure he did.

"Damn." He gasped.

I chuckled a bit. "Damn."

"Well you have a good night Miss Anais. Glad I could take you out. There will definitely be a next time." He assured me as he walked away.
