Poison. (𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.)

- Three.

Cinnamons POV.

"I-I can't." I finally spit out. The tension was so damn high that my inner goddess couldn't take it. Letitia is indeed the definition of sex appeal. She trailed her eyes to my lips then back to my eyes lifting me up as if something came over her. The girl stayed close enough for our bodies to still be touching in some sort. "You're so shy it's been driving me insane all night." She paused. "Call me when you make it home,Ms.Cinnamon." She came to whisper in my ear for the second time tonight. My body was now lifeless and my heart fluttered from her behavior.

She removed herself from me by taking a step back placing that beautiful smile on her face. The feeling was so unreal to me at the moment... so foreign that I just wanted her to come back.

Something in me wanted to go to her place but I'm a very strong willed woman. It takes a lot more then a couple of drinks to get me to fold.

— 3 weeks later.

"That bitch better count her days, Cinnamon. I mean down to the last second." Journey was spilling gossip about a girl at work who obviously made her upset. My shades rested on my eyes as I was trying to hold back my laughter. My mind soon wondered to Letitia thinking about how I haven't been talking to her. We met up about a week ago to chill at my house and I haven't seen her since.
  I guess you can say I was taken aback by how she acts. I've never had someone come onto me so strong. Knowing me, I'd probably hurt her unintentionally due to my overthinking.

"What's on your mind? Is it that young cat Letifah?" I chuckled loudly.

"Bitch it's Letitia! And yes. I sorta haven't called her in 2 days.." Journey side eyed me. "And why not?" I pushed my hair to the side glancing at her. Honestly I didn't even know the answer to that simple question. Why not? Why not just go for it.

"Look maybe you should call her. What's the worst that can happen I mean you told me she's super laid back." She stated taking a sip of her margarita.

Later that day , I soon got back to my apartment kicking off my shoes at the door. All I wanted to do was watch criminal minds with a pint of ice cream to clear my mind. Work has been super stressful and I'm glad that I finally got a day off. As soon as my ass hit the couch there was a knock on the door. Journey must've stopped by.

When I got up and opened the door my heart fluttered at who it was. "Letitia?" I was shocked until I remembered I gave her my address the last time we were supposed to meet up. She looked amazing in a blue sweatshirt and dad jeans.

"Well are you gonna stare at me or let me in." I moved to side letting her enter into my apartment. "I know I shouldn't just pop up like some lunatic but I just needed to know if you were okay..it's been a while since I heard from you." She sounded so sweet that there wasn't a possible way to be mad. In all honesty I feel pretty shitty for ignoring her.

"I've just been super busy with work.. I'm sorry." Which was half lie and half truth. She obviously saw right through me due to me looking down at the floor twiddling my thumbs. Soon enough , she walked towards me taking my hands. "Or have you just been ignoring me as well?" Me and my inner goddess blushed at the sudden attention.

Yes , I was. "No I wasn't doing that." I lied. In one movement I was against the wall with my hands above my head. "Don't lie, baby girl. You're not very good at it." Her dominance was too overbearing for my body to handle. My back began to lift off the wall slightly trying to get the pressure in my stomach to leave. "I could just tie you up right here, right now Cinnamon." Letitia looked me up and down coming closer to my face.

My breath was yet again stuck in my throat as I stared into those beautiful features. That cut jawline, her hairstyle and gosh her smell was immaculate. She moved her face closer to mine as our lips touched but not necessarily touched.

Fuck, just kiss me Letitia.

   My arms lost the strong grip as she removed herself from me and My eyebrows furrowed. "Why'd you move?" My boldness attempting to take over. "I don't wanna start nothing you can't handle sweet girl." The image of her on my body flashed through my head which made me frustrated. "Oh please, it wouldn't be that good." I teased walking away to sit on the couch.

       She lifted her eyebrows at my sudden actions. Letitia came to sit next to me with this look of amusement plastered all over her face. "On a serious note, I was really worried about you. Thought maybe I ran you off." I read her face feeling that conviction of ignoring her coming back.

  "Honestly it was me.. I don't know I'm kind of an over thinker. You make me feel very...nervous." She glanced at me.

       "I feel like I can't control myself around you. I like you a lot and I really wanna see where this goes. Trust it's hard for me too." She grabbed my hand placing her soft lips on my skin.

  I can tell she wasn't the type of person to wear her heart on her sleeve. So many emotions were on her face while many emotions were running through me.
