Poison. (𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.)

- Six.

     Cinnamons POV.

6 days later.

      My head was stuffed in paperwork as I lifted my coffee cup up to my lips. Damn it , I'm out and this is already my second cup. I've been so sluggish that coffee is the only thing keeping me together.

  I rose from my desk and walked to the break room to pour another cup. "Well, damn." My head snapped to the voice behind me. It was the guy Letitia got into a fight with the other day. My eyes widened at the realization.

      "Excuse me?" My eyebrow furrowed. "I mean I was just looking at what's in front of me. How the hell did Letitia pull you?" He chuckled.

  I decided to go ahead and cut this short. I'm honestly not in the mood for bullshit. "She pulled me with 2 fingers and a tongue. I don't know who you are but stay the fuck away from me." Disgust was written all over my face as I walked away.

   "Feisty one." Was the last thing I heard him say.

    I came back to my office upset and bothered about the asshole I just encountered. Once 3 o'clock hit it was my time to leave.

      When I made it to the house I got my legendary greeting from spice which made me feel a lot better than I did. After messing around with her, I got myself together and ready for bed. It's gonna be another long night.

The bright light from the freezer beamed on my face from me getting my 2nd pint of ice cream. Chocolate thunder is the only thing comforting me right now due the distance between me and Letitia. We haven't talked since the incident and I'm trying not to let it consume me but I know she needs her space. (play song.)

To get my mind off of things I decided to go back to what really comforts me. Painting. Once I got all of the supplies together I sat down on the ground with a glass of wine and my ice cream, put on some music and began to paint. I don't know where this is going but I just needed to create something.

Gosh what did this girl do to me. I'm so worried about her that's it's driving me up the walls. As the brush stroked the paper there was a knock on the door. I looked at the time noticing it was 1 in the morning so who would come this late. I unlocked it peaking out seeing Letitia. When I opened the door all the way I saw her puffy red eyes and dried tears. "Oh baby , come in." I grabbed her hand and pulled her in closing the door.

  "Please just.. hold me." She broke down. I took her in my embrace as her head hid in the crook of my neck. Her heavy cries filled the room with Heartsick and worry.

      "I miss him so much I-It hurts. I wanna burn the world for what it took from me!"She hyperventilated. "I can't take it anymore!"

   "Hey, look at me. Breathe." I cupped her face and looked in her melancholy welled up eyes.

   She was so full of sadness that it poured over everything in the room. She brought her forehead to mine and closed her eyes while bring her hands to the back off my head. I planted a kiss on her lips that seemed selfish of me to miss oh so much. I missed her oh so much but I know she needed her space.

     "I missed you so much." Letitia spoke. I wiped the remaining tears from her face with the pads of my thumbs. "I missed you more baby."

"What we're you painting?" She chuckled looking at the painting.

     "Honestly I really don't know I was just mixing colors and shit." I shrugged as she giggled. "Wanna paint with me?"

She nodded as I grabbed her hand sitting on the floor as she was in front of me and my legs were around her body. She took a paint brush while I picked up the one I was using. We sat in silence while the music played through the speakers. She moved so eloquently and with so much grace. One of the main reasons I admire her.

"I'm sorry for lashing out on you the other day." She broke the silence. "You didn't deserve that."

"You don't have to apologize Letitia I promise I understand." I put down the paint brush and grabbed her free hand while laying my head on her back. I took in her floral fragrance as she continued to paint.

Her presence was enough to send me into total orbit and paradise. Once we got done painting and cleaned up we talked for a while about everything under the sun. It seemed like we were both stalling for time because neither one of us wanted to be apart.

"Well I didn't mean to interrupt your sleeping time. I'm gonna head out." She said grabbing my hand laying a kiss on it. "...You can stay if you like."

She smiled. "Please?" I pleaded. As much as I hate begging and as selfish as it sounded I didn't want her to leave. She nodded her head and with that we walked to the room getting comfortable under the sheets.

  When we laid down she pulled me on top of her and I laid my head on her chest. She snaked her arms around my waist and inhaled lightly. "No matter how much you distance yourself, I will wait for you everytime." I said before falling asleep.
