I don't wanna fall so fast
But I'm open
They always say that good things never last
And I know 'cause I've been broken
I'm tryin' to protect my heart
But you're making it so hard
And I guess it's safe to say
You take my pain away
And I just wanna hold you all night long
Whenever I'm around you, nothing's wrong
I'm hoping that you'll always be around
You got me on a high, I don't wanna come down
And I love it, I love it (these butterflies)...

Hope

I laid on Legends bare chest and traced the tattoos on his neck with my finger. I never really noticed them as much until now.

He stirred in his sleep then cleared his throat.

What time is it?

I reached over him and grabbed my phone.

10:48a.m

His eyes slowly opened up and he looked down at me and kissed my forehead.

I gotta get up, I got shit to do.

I moved off of him so he could get up.

Give me a rubber band and another towel to wipe my face.

I got up from the bed and grabbed him both.

Here.

Good looking.

He pulled his dreads back into a ponytail then got up and went in the bathroom. After a few minutes he came back out and grabbed his pants off the floor and put them on.

Where my shoes at?

In the living room by the couch.

He got up and went into the living room then came back and sat on the side of the bed and put his shoes on.

What you on today?

Me and Lauren are suppose to go get our nails, feet and eyebrows done, that's about it.

Aight tell her I said request it on cash app. Come on so you can lock yo door.

I got and all I had on was my panties and bra.

He looked at me then sat back on the bed.

What's wrong ?

If yo ass don't put on some fucking clothes, you not going to the door like that.

I can't stand behind the door Legend.

Put something on Hope.

I smacked my lips then grabbed my robe from behind my bedroom door.

Happy ?

Very he said smacking my ass.

I walked him to the front door and he opened it.

What are you about to do?

Go to the crib and get myself together then go bump into Genesis, I gotta do this insurance shit with his car, I know he sick he gotta ride around in Regina shit.

Ok well y'all be safe and I guess I'll see you.

He laughed at me.

What's funny Legend?

You, I'll be back later Hope.

I couldn't hide the smile on my face if I wanted too.

Ok.

He kissed me on my lips then went towards the stairs. Once he was out of my site I closed and locked the door. I turned around and saw the mess we had made.
