Aaliyah
I cash my check with some stunned stares from the worker and I get it handed to me in clean bills. I've never carried this much cash with me in my life! I've never even seen this much cash!
Adjusting my bag I head for the door but before I can leave.....the least expected person on earth walks in
"Aaliyah? Well, hello there."
"Zarah?! What are you doing here?"
"Just applying for a credit card, you know how it goes."
"Sure." I laugh nervously and as I try to shift the bag of money behind me, she looks down at my side and her mouth widens
Damn, how am I supposed to explain this now?
"Daaaamn Aaliyah, that's a lot of money! Where did you get it girl?!"
I can't tell her the truth shit, she'll go suspicious on me. Just let me do my thing and lie it off, easy Aaliyah.....you can do this
"Uh...i had a big closing."
"Kim is your only client though. Did he decided on a property? I didn't see any paperwork?"
Fuck, she'll be able to check if I'm lying. This isn't how I planned it Cmon. "No, not yet but he gave me an advance. A showing of good faith."
Her mouth opens in shock "Wow, he must be really confident in you." She eyes my money, the jealousy burning in her eyes and I try to pass around her "Anyway, I've got to go. See you around Zarah!" I push out the door as quickly as I can and walk to my car.....feeling Zarah's eyes on my back the entire time.
Once I get home, I put the bag of money on the table. I feel a little excited as I sit back and look at it. I can't believe it - I have all this money. I mean....I earned it fuck it! I should celebrate and I know exactly who I want to celebrate with. So that's what I do, I text him to come over.
☄. *. ⋆
I show Taehyung around my place, expecting the first thing for him to say to be about the money on the table but he just takes a seat on the sofa, casually leaning into it
"So...."
"Didn't you promise me a nightcap?"
"Of course. Wine?"
"Depends on the vintage."
Sorry mister bougie, a little embarrassed I speak up "uh...so....this is my only bottle?"
He smiles at me "not bad. I'll have a glass."
I huff out, relieved "Good, I've been saving it for a while and tonight seemed like just the night."
Putting his sleeve up and having his veiny arms on full display as he loosens his tie a little "Is it just me or are you looking at me like you want something from me?"
What? Where does that come from? "I....."
"It's a good look of course"
Oh okay, playful huh? I can't do that right back. "You know Mr. Kim, with word like that, you'll get far with me."
"That's a shame. You should make me try harder."
"And how professional would that be of me?"
He gives me his famous smirk "Not very."
"Then it's a good thing that it's just us here?"
"Mhm" Taehyung hums but it seems like something is in his head and just one minute later he throws a question on me "So....who was that man leaving when I came up?"
So that's what's been on his mind? "Oh, Him. I, uh, had to have my locks changed."
"And what was the reason?"
I'm not sure if I should tell him about JJ and how he just was at my place like a fucking stalker "it's just me making something sure, you know, you can never be too sure."
"Hm." Looking me deep in my eyes, showing that he's really caring, which nobody did for me for a long time "If you're concerned about something, tell me Aaliyah."
"Thanks. I just don't want to drag you into all of my mess, though."
"Right....."
"Anyway, let's not talk about that tonight." I take his hands into mine "it's not what I invented you over for."
"Are you sure, Aaliyah?"
"100% Tae baby." I tease him interviewing our hands "I just want to spend time with you and block out everything else."
"Not a problem but I have to say......it's hard to pretend like that bag full of money isn't sitting right there."
Here we go..... "oh, that. Let's just say that I fell into some luck lately."
"I think that I fell into some luck lately as well." Taehyung puts his hand up and cups my face, looking directly into my eyes and leans closer.
My heartbeat quickens, looking down to his pretty lips. I look at them but he only grins
"There's only one thing we can do with all that money there.."
"Oh really? Only one thing to do with the money? Save it?"
"You have to risk it at some point."
"I know." And I'm aware that The only thing I wanna do with that money is having it on me as he pushes his big dic-
"As long as you know."
Lord...... "as long as you're here to remind me, Taehyung."
"That's definitely gon be for long."
I settle back into the couch and Taehyung does the same and we talk well into the night. Talking with him is just so fucking easy, it's not weird or acted. I can be my true self around him and that's why I probably feel so comfortable around him or trusted him so easily with my body.....and that's something that I never do. Cmon I never just hook up with a person I barely know for 2 months. The time with him just passes by so fast and I just want the time to stop and keep me in this moment forever. Just us sitting and talking while cracking some lame jokes only we laugh at. Is this maybe what love feels like? Because I've never felt like that with any Boy or Men in my life. And if it is that stupid word called Love, does he feel the same way? I mean I hope so.....
I really don't want to embarrass myself if he just thinks of me as a real estate agent which he can fuck in his free time or at every showing.
