"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲" 𝐊𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝. "I'm just sick of being at home" I explained. "Shi you right" Kay replied as he pulled his hair back into a low ponytail. "I'm always right," I responded. I got into my black BMW and started to leave the apartment.

As I was moving toward the bar, my eyes briefly strayed in search of her, and then i found her.

I assured Janelys, "I told you I was going to be back," and she shrugged, "I didn't doubt you, you seem like the type to keep your promises." I said. "Let me get a shot of tequila," and she responded, "Here you go, lovee," flashing one of those smiles that can make a room seem brighter and happier.

"Good looks," I remarked as I drank the shot and experienced the familiar burning sensation. She remarked, "You really gon' come here everyday." I answered with a slight smirk on my face, "shi of course."

She swiftly shook the contents in the cocktail shaker as I watched. The manner, as she continued to tremble, her breasts moved more. I could stare at her gorgeous olive face for hours on end and never get weary of it because of the way her long, straight hair fell gently across it. She was genuinely the most stunning woman I had ever seen.

"Stop staring at me; it's unnerving me." Even the way she opened her mouth when she spoke caused me to feel a certain way. Her voice was soft, and I could hear it for hours. "Did you know you're so gorgeous?" I spoke without considering what she could say.

She giggled and blushed, "My boyfriend believes so as well" I shook my head at her response at least she was being loyal to him. "Why you keep bringing him up, it ain't gon' stop me from appreciating you."

"How do I not know that you are not married and have children? You don't even know me well enough to be telling me all this", she questioned. I responded, "Because I ain't married and I don't have kids." As she filled a request for three shots of casamigo, she knelt down and gathered up shot glasses.

Janely's face froze in terror and displeasure when she heard a voice behind me. He asked, sounding irate, "Janelys why you ain't picking up the phone." I'm not aware of what is happening, and while it is not my concern, if he attempts to touch her, it will be.

She said in an effort to appear calm, "I'm working, can't you see."

"I don't care if you're working, Janelys, you can answer the fucking phone" I saw him attempt to take a glass and throw it at her while he was ranting at her. I then broke the glass on his head by throwing it at him.

When he attempted to block my fists and fight back, Janely's face started to turn red with fear. "Stop!" she said as she leaped over the counter. I said, looking at her as if she were insane, "I ain't gon stop he was about to throw a glass on your head the fuck." I was eventually yanked away from her boyfriend, and I yelled at whatever had grabbed me, "Let go of me the fuck." Janelys rubbed a napkin on his nose because he started leaking blood as she watched his eye start to bulge and asked in worry, "Amari, are you ok?"

I watched as he got back up and said, "Get the fuck off of me Janelys, yo ass cheating on me." She looked at him with her face lowered in defeat. "Why the fuck would I cheat on you, after everything i've done for us?" Janelys asked.

He yelled at her face, "I was going to let you ass find out yourself but I've been cheating on you and I don't fucking love you anymore," and she started crying because she was so disappointed by his words. She came to me for a hug and as I embraced her, I put my arms around her shoulders as she sobbed uncontrollably. I said "breath mama" in her ear as she hiccuped.

I'm thinking her manager asked, "Janelys, what the fuck is going on here? " She responded, "I'm sorry, I'll stay for an extra hour to clean up the mess," and he shook his head. He added, his expression softening, "Janelys your like a daughter to me, I wouldn't make you clean this shit up just because Amari has no manners." As she released from my hold and asked, "Are you sure?" He nodded in agreement, he than said, "Go home and relax now."

I was watching her walk down the lengthy, pitch-black hallways when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see her boss, who said, "Make sure she's okay; she needs someone to be with."

When I turned down the hallway, I noticed that Janelys was putting on her black Nike tech sweater and carrying her crossbody bag in a room that was marked "employees only."

"You alright" I asked as I stepped into the room "jeez you scared me" she mumbled. "Sorry about that, but you good?" I asked once again. "I'm fine and i'm sorry for somewhat spazzing on you, I get you were just trying to defend me" she spoke calmly. "It's all good mama, you was just shocked" I replied shrugging.

In the relaxed stillness that followed, she got to her feet and walked up to me. As she leaned into me, I took it upon myself to give her a sincere kiss on her full pink lips.

I didn't break off the kiss, and neither did she, until we both heard someone else clear their throat. Janelys uttered an embarrassed "Oh shit Gianella" as she turned to face the ground so I wouldn't have to see her pink cheeks, even though her dark skin made it harder to notice them.

Gianella apologized for interrupting Janelys and I and walked out of the room. "That was so embarrassing," Janelys commented with a chuckle. I asked her, lifting her chin, "Why you still looking down, you don't have to be nervous with me." I then gave her a short peck on the lips. "Are you planning to come in tomorrow?" She responded with a "duh" look, which caused me to suppress a small laugh.

You never know what may happen at night, so I took sure to check my surroundings as I led Janelys to her car and watched her drive away from the bar. I then made my way to my car and drove back to my apartment. 

✮✮✮

When I opened the door to my apartment, Kay and Dougie were both seated on the couch, passing a blunt back and forth. Then Kay asked me , "Where have you been?" Dougie was absolutely unfocused. Man, he needs to stop using percs before something serious occurs.

"I was out doing something" I replied, he really thinks that he is my father the fuck. His ass forgot i'm older than him. As he breathed in the smoke, Kay remarked, "Nah, I'm Just Playing With You, You've Been Mad Geeked Lately Someone Got You Hyped."

Shi she got me more than geeked.

She was truly beautiful, and the flavor of her strawberry chapstick made me want to taste her lips every day. I couldn't stop thinking about her. However, she needs support since what she went through today was not amusing; if he doesn't stop acting up, I'm going to take shit  into my own hands and it ain't gon be sweet. 

it took me a minute to write this because I had no idea what to write for this and i've had only the beginning of the chapter done since August, i'm going to try and update more often but I've been really busy since of school but Ima try and get back to writing more.
