Business Not Pleasure

Chapter: 20 Treat Me Like Somebody

Dewayne (dangerous)

We rushed inside the house. I locked my door following Paula up the stairs as she held her bleeding arm.

I opened my door to the bathroom as she held her arm. I lifted her up and sat her down on the sink.

She leaned on the mirror and let go. I reach under the sink and grabbed the first aid kit.

Her shirt covered her wound so I told her to move her sleeve. She took off her shirt instead.

Paula (cashes)

I took off my shirt because it was irritating me. My arm was burning but I felt as if I was hot.

This was a little painful but I felt worse. I leaned against the mirror again and closed my eyes.

When I open it, I see Dewayne staring at me. Then his eyes moved down to my body, but back at me and that stare was captivating.

I stared back, but his stare was intense. I was speechless at the look he was giving me, but I felt my heart rate speed up.

His hand touched my thigh, and I felt heated right there. I bit my bottom lip as his hand rubbed up and down my leg slowly.

He looked away grabbing a disinfectant patch and rubbed it again the graze the bullet did. I closed my eyes tightly taking in the pain.

I looked at him noticing how he gently spread my legs and stood between them as he started patching it up.

I looked at his muscles as it flexed while rapping it. The tattoo was clear on his arm and I couldn't help to rub it. He stopped and looked at me.

"Sorry." I say quietly. I felt shy all of a sudden while he was right in front of me.

Dewayne what are you doing to me?

"You straight." He chuckle, that deep laugh that I come to like.

I smile feeling some shit in my stomach as he leaned forward looking at me.

"How you feelin' tho?" He asked wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Weird." I admitted. I felt the feeling before but it's been years. I just don't want to admit it though.

"Well you just got shot, it's probably the pain." His voice lowering as he got closer.

I nod "probably."

It was this certain look in his eye, but I couldn't put my hand on it. Like I felt safe right then and there.

His embrace made me warm, smile, and most definitely feel safe. I didn't want him to let go.

His lips lightly brushed mines as he looked down at me. I wrap my arms around his neck and lean in as our lips touched. It was soft, warm and it made me feel a spark that I haven't felt in awhile.

His hand moved to my lower back and he lifted me off the sink as the kiss got deeper. He licked my bottom lip and I partly opened my mouth as his tongue glided through.

He laid me on the bed softly, and began kissing up and down my neck making me close my eyes and delight.

He then hovered over me holding himself up on his elbows. He look me in the eyes and kiss my lips softly and gently. The kiss felt like it held a message to it. He stopped and pulled me into his arms.

I laid against his chest as he held me. I smiled to myself.

I closed my eyes feeling sleepy. "I wanna treat you right." He whispered pecking my cheek before I went to sleep officially.
