8) The Break In

One Month Later

Things have been going well between DeMar and De'arra.  They've gotten a lot closer in such a small time. They would FaceTime every single day, especially before bed. He'd come by her house often and carried her out to show her around Cali. They never spent the night over nor did they share passionate kisses, just little pecks. They weren't rushing anything they were just enjoying each others company.

It was 9 at night and De'arra was in her living room face timing DeMar. They were talking about how their day passed and what they were gonna do tomorrow. DeMar was going to a party later that night at this club with some of his friends. Whole week he asked De'arra if she wanted to go with him but she said no but he was determined to make her change her mind.

"DeMar, I told you I'm not going." She whined.

"Come on, it's only one party." He really wanted her to go.

"Even if I do go, you're gonna be hanging with your boys and I won't have anyone to hang with." She said sadly.

"Their wives and girlfriends are gonna be there, you can hang with them, they cool. Besides I really want to spend time with you."

She did not reply, she just looked ahead as if she was listening out for something. DeMar had noticed and asked if she was ok. She still didn't answer. He asked again and she finally blurted out "Someone's tryna break in."

"Someone's trying to open the front door, DeMar I'm scared." She looked at him with fear in her eyes."

Just then, she heard glass shattering causing her to scream and run to her room upstairs.

"De'arra I'm gonna call the police." He said. "I don't want you to get off the phone, I'm coming to your house now." He said and with that he ran out his house, jumped in his car and sped off to her.  He contacted the police and they were on their way. While driving he kept on asking if she was ok.

"Oh my God I think they're in the house." She said with tears streaming down here face.

Hearing that made DeMar worried plus it was the first time he's seen her sad. Now he was only a short distance away which felt like a mile. She no longer held the phone to her face but he could hear her cries.

"Baby let me see your face, please. I need to see you, I'm turning into your street." It was the first time he actually called her 'baby'. He had no control over his words. Even though they weren't official, he always considered her his girlfriend.

Putting the phone to her face she whispered, " I hear footsteps in my room."

"Where are you I'm almost at your house, the police behind me. Everything's gonna be ok."

"I locked myself in my closet, I have a gun in here." "Should I use it?" She asked out of breath.

Before he could answer, she heard the sirens and felt relieved. The burglar must've heard it too because she heard whoever running. Probably down the stairs.

She couldn't move. She was too frightened and scared to come out.

When the police entered the house with DeMar behind them, they searched to see if the burglar was still there but whoever it was already fled the scene.  DeMar had went up to her room with an officer and knocked on her closet door.

"Babe, the police is here, you can come out."

She didn't answer which made DeMar worried.

"Babe, open the door." He said again.

Still on the floor, she crawled to the door, got up. She took a second to open the door but when she did DeMar pulled her into a hug immediately. He just wanted to hold her tight. She did the same, as she buried her head in his chest, feeling safe once again.

The police questioned her about what happened and asked if she was harmed. They also told her that they hadn't caught the burglar but would get the footage from the cameras in and around her house. They also asked if she was ok to stay there tonight but she was too scared.

"She'll stay with me." Said DeMar.

Without putting up a fight she said "Ok."

As the police waited for them to pack, DeMar went upstairs to help her. She packed the stuff she needed but he told her to pack more and that she would be staying with him for a while.

DeMar's Pov

I watched her as she got settled in and unpack her stuff into my drawers. I let her stay in my room, I would sleep in the other room next door. She insisted on me keeping my room and letting her stay in the guest but I wasn't hearing it. I wanted her to be as comfortable as possible. She was sitting on the bed in her robe, still a bit shaken up. I told her I was gonna take a shower to get ready for the party and that I wouldn't stay long since she was there.

I entered the guest bathroom and stepped into the shower letting the warm water fall on my face. It was so relaxing but my mind was on De'arra. I couldn't believe what happened to her but I'm glad I was able to help. I just want her to feel safe. As I faced the shower, I lathered my body with soap making sure to get every part of my body. I rinsed off and repeated the process.

As I was doing so, I saw De'arra come in the bathroom in her robe. I asked her if she was ok or if something was wrong.

"No, I wanted to take a shower."

"There's a bathroom in my room where you're staying, I showed you. Remember?" I asked confused.

"Uhm, I want to shower with you." We both paused. I didn't know what to say until she broke the silence. "Please?!  I'm still scared and don't want to be alone."

"I'll step out and let you do your thing.  I'll wait right outside till you're done." I said stepping away but she stopped me.

"No, stay with me."

"Ok."

I watched her drop her robe and enter. It was the first time seeing her naked and I didn't want to stare but this girl was just perfect. I stepped back and let her wet her body. I admired her skin, her curves. She turned in my direction now but not looking at me so she could wet her back while she held her hair up from getting wet.

I was getting aroused but I tried to hide it. I didn't want her to get the wrong idea. As she lathered her body with her body wash I watched as she poured it on her skin so gently. I was so close to drooling till she broke my thoughts.

"DeMar, can you get my back?" she said handing me her bodywash.

I poured some in my hand and rubbed it on her back gently, savoring the feel of her soft skin. I did her shoulders and massaged it. I heard her let out a small moan as she tilted her head to the left side and closed her eyes. I couldn't help myself, I kissed her on her neck and with that kiss she leaned back on me, feeling my slightly hard dick. I kissed her neck again, one hand rubbing on her soapy breasts while the other held her neck. I turned her face and kissed her hungrily, the type of kisses that lead to babies. I slipped my tongue into her mouth and she sucked it. Her head slightly bobbing which was driving me wild but I had to stop, I felt like she was only doing this because she was vulnerable. I didn't want to take advantage of her so I stopped.

"De'arra, I'm glad you're here."

"Me too."

"I gotta hurry up and get dressed, ok" I said as I rinsed off my body and out shower. She came out a little while after holding her robe tightly around her waist.

"Can I still go? I don't want to be here by myself." She said.

"Sure."

"Thank you." She said as she pecked my lips and went to my room.
