𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 straight up as he laid flat in the bed of his hotel suite, Big was supposed to leave town in two days but shit that happened with Heaven last night still had his head screwed up. He was in no shape to be dealing with big matters until he figured out how the fuck he allowed himself to slip. Don't get me wrong, he enjoyed it but at the same time— It made him feel sick. It was something that had been eating away at him since last night, he couldn't shake it, he knew it was wrong.

Almost as wrong as him even having the feelings he had towards her. He didn't understand why but he also did. He just didn't see her as a young girl, always saw her as a young woman. She carried herself as such. Had a mind of a woman, a body of a woman but she wasn't a woman. Him leaving town was probably for the best. Today was her birthday, and he had spent all morning sending her mutiple messages wishing her happy birthday and apologizing but none of them went through. He'd finally come to the conclusion that she was still upset with him and had him blocked. Usually he would toy with her and pick at her until she gives in but this time, she was giving her space. But she needs to understand: last night shouldn't have happened.
