Love is Blind: Safety Net

I'll Catch You.

Jay's POV in Her Bedroom:

As "Motives" by Tink played from my device, I started to ponder.

I came off of my high a while ago.

I regret coming at Maurice the way I did... I didn't even let him explain or get a word out.

I'm normally not like that, but it was a fire burning within my chest.

I just feel so strongly about him, that the information I overheard was like a gallon of gasoline that was doused on top of a flame.

It ignited something in me.

As I continued to ponder, the beat to "Tough Love" by Chris Brown started playing and I sighed knowing how this song makes me feel.

"Sometimes I get sentimental... I get all in my head... I get caught up in my feelings, and regret the things I said..." I heard Chris' voice sing through the mini speaker.

I sat on my bed, and held my face in my palms.

I made a lot of valid points with the facts I stated...

I just care about him, and now I'm thinking about how it made him feel that I didn't even give him the time of day.

Did I do the right thing?

Chris' POV:

"Hey Maurice, I knew you were gonna pull me in a pod again." I heard her say seductively as I rolled my eyes.

I stood on my feet.

"That is not why I asked you to meet. I wanna know what the fuck you did and what you told everybody." I said bluntly as I heard her gasp on the other side of the wall.

"What do you mean what I did? I told everybody the truth about us."

"About us?? The truth? The fuck you mean us, and what is the truth exactly Imani?"

"You said that you felt something sexual between us."

"Did you not ask me what my favorite sex position was? Or what my turn ons were? How many rounds I can go? Bro, you even asked if I like ass or titties and shit. If you ask me those types of questions of course imma feel some type of sexual tension." I said getting irritated.

"Ok, but Maurice you still said it to me and answered those questions."

"But, you out here makin' it seem like I told you I wanna explore a fuckin' connection that wasn't even there in the first place. Yo' ass out here lying and trynna fuck up something that I got wit' somebody else." I explained in a hostile tone.

"But, you said you wanted to talk more."

"Our conversation barely lasted twenty minutes bro, like be serious."

"Well you're the one that said it, not me." She said aggressively.

"Well then I regret sayin' that shit. I wasn't telling you that I wanted to further a fuckin' connection or none of that shit. I ended the conversation. So, either yo' ass just delusional or you're messy as hell and I ain't fuckin' wit it." I said walking towards the door as she had things to say, but I started tuning her out.

"You're missing out on——"

"Man, fuck allat. Keep my name outta yo' miserable ass mouth and ion wanna hear you say shit about Jayde either. Leave us the fuck alone. It's 9 other niggas here and you stuck on some shit wit' me that ain't even there. Go find you somebody else and release my nuts." I said finally leaving out.

That just made me mad as hell.

Jay's POV:

"Yea girl... one of the guys I was talking to told me." Jhené said as I sat on the couch with her and Gabby.
