Fallon
Three days later.

Scrub Da Ground x Splack Pack played as I held onto the mop.

Bouncing my ass, I used the mop to support the rest of my body. I was going crazy in the house, and today I decided to play some upbeat music instead of the Summer Walker I had been listening to for the past three days. I still hadn't decided what exactly I was going to say to him when I saw him. But I know I had a few questions like where he has been and why he was so hard to reach while he was there.

But in the meantime I had managed to clean the entire house and I was feeling accomplished.
The house was beautiful and I couldn't help but fall in love with every part of it.

I even cleaned Rylans room even though it was damn near spotless.

This house was so huge, he really needed a house keeper but I knew with his trust issues he would never get one.
The song changed.

"Oh yes ma'am." I said firing up a blunt placing it at my lips. Twirling my hips to the music, I closed my eyes.
"I touch myself just thinking about you. Ooouh what that mouth do." I sang letting the smoke out my mouth.

"That's what type of time you on?" Came from behind me causing me to jump almost out of my skin. Turning around Rylan set his bags down looking me over.
"You scared the shit out of me." I said honestly, putting the blunt out. Squinting his eyes at it, he looked back at me.
"You smoking? Everything good?"He asked taking a seat at the bar.
Turn the volume down on my phone, I took a seat too.
"You've been gone for a few days. Are you good?" I asked him.
"Yeah. I was working." He said. Nodding I knew what that meant and decided not to pry.
"Well as you know, Josiah broke up with me." I said. And he looked at me with a blank stare.
"I heard." He said.
"And I knows it's only been a few days but I had kind of started to feel away before that day ever came."I said playing with my nails.
"Feel a way how?"
"You're different now. I feel like I've learned so many new things about you in the few weeks I've been living here. And it's like I'm fifteen again. And I adore you. You make me feel safe. And my heart trust you even though my mind and body weren't ready to." I rambled on. Lifting my chin he forced me to look at him.
"Stop rambling. Say what you need to say." He said.
"Rylan I love you." I said but stopped quickly.
"But...?" He asked.
"But I'm fresh out of a relationship. A relationship I got in to get over you to begin with. And I'm not in a rush to get in another one." I said honestly and he nodded.
"Fallon I want more than this. I don't want to be your childhood best friend anymore. I don't want to be the nigga you loved that left your life for nine years. I want to be more, in every way. But I can only move at the speed you'll allow." He said.
"Well I need to move slow."I said.
"All I can do is respect it."
"Do you want me to move out? So things don't get complicated?" I asked.
"Your name is on the deed Fallon. This is your house. I bought this house for you." He said.
"Are you serious?" I was shocked.
"Yeah. So the question is do you want me to move out?" He asked.

Although it felt like the right thing for us. I feared that he would use that time to revive old situations, or start new ones. And I wanted to be clear that isn't what I wanted either.
"No." I said.
"You had to think about it?" He asked.
"A little bit. But I don't want to fuck things up before they can even get started by adding other people to the mix." I said honestly.
"Oh I see. So you want to be sure I'm not fucking other bitches?"
"Really Rylan?" I asked. And he gave me a look.
"I mean I don't."
"Then ask me not to and I won't. But I don't have to stay here for you to trust me Fallon."
"I have to learn to trust you." I said honestly.
"Okay so I'm asking you do you want to learn while I'm living under the same roof or do you need me to leave?" He asked.
"Don't leave." I said.
"I won't."
"And don't fuck other people please." I said.
"I won't."
Nodding I felt we had an understanding.

Grabbing his bags he excused himself to his room. A few minutes later he returned.
"You cleaned up." He said chuckling a little.
"Yeah I had a lot on my mind. Had I known the house was mine I would have done some redecorating." I said and he laughed. Oh how I loved his smile.
"Oh really? You still can." He said going in the fridge and pulling out a water.
"Say less. I'll tell Sevyn and Jon."
"Y'all a trip."
"Speaking of trips, where did y'all go this time?" I asked. He grew serious.
"The Carribeans."
"Did anyone get hurt?" I asked looking him over.
"Nope, Fabe good, Rico good. I'm straight." He said but I was speaking in general. But I suppose that's all I could get. "I don't want to talk about that." He said seriously.
"What you wanna talk about?"
"You. Almost through your first year of teaching. How you feeling?"
"Great I love it." I said seriously as we began to talk about my students. And all my loves of being their teacher.

So here y'all go! So my professor asked me why I submitted my final paper late this weekend and I told her I write for y'all. And the weekends is when I post. She took off points for it being late then told me to send her my work, if it was good she would give me my 10 points back. Which would have gave me a 84%.
Y'all she read and your girl got 94%!!!
Got a message on Blackboard that said that extra 10 was for an update!
