Chosen Love

The One

"But you said I'm fine." Diamond whined as she stood at him and Chosen nodded as he got sent to Murder's voicemail once more and hung up.

Chosen normally slept shirtless and currently the only thing he was sporting was a pair of Nike shorts and socks.

After Murder went MIA Chosen had remembered something he was sure that Murder should know before he got into trouble. Here they were days later and no one had seen him. The trap was still moving like usual but Chosen could tell the difference, especially seeing Peso more than Murder.

"You are but I ain't tryna go down that road wit you." Chosen said firmly.

Diamond was in a full lingerie set, blue, his favorite color, and Chosen still chose not to budge.

This wasn't the first time in the last few months that she had pulled this on him but each time he politely rejected her.

"Ion get you cause you act like you wanna fuck me and I know you not gay." She huffed and Chosen laughed only irritating her more.

"Hell, I'm just yo baby sitter. I fuck wit you, I do. Just not like that." He said looking her over once more before he grabbed her coat.

"Is it cause that dream erryone talk about but you wont tell me?" Diamond asked with her hands on her hips.

"But yeea, no." He said not wanting to explain why he wouldn't sleep with her as he passed her her coat but he definitely was finding it tempting each time she tried.

It had been months, Alaia hadn't answered his calls and graduation was today.

Chosen had held up to the end of his deal with Mrs Bricks. He put in all the work necessary to graduate with his peers. He was no longer in the streets and really Murder tossed him money simply for a heads up. Things were simple.

"I know you want me." Diamond said sucking her teeth.

Chosen smirked.

Nothing about her changed. She had always been direct and wanting to demand a room. He had met her during the period of her learning how to do so. This time there was no difference.

He planned on keeping his distance but found himself watching Chloe on the nights that she danced.

Both Eli and Teana would question why but Chosen felt as if it was too complicated to answer so he left it as she was just a friend.

"I want yo ass to pick yo daughter up on time. I got shit to do." He said standing up and she looked at him.

"Like what?" She asked curiously and he smiled.

"Now that you ask." He said turning and picking up his cap and gown from his dresser as they stood in his room.

"Wait yo ass still in high school?" She looked at him and he laughed.

"Man yo ass wasn't jus saying that when you was tryna gimme some coochie." He teased her and she flicked him off.

"Chosen shut up cause tha moment your lil ass stop playing, your mines." She leaned in scrunching her nose.

Diamond had never been ugly so her advances were not the easiest to turn down but he had.

Chloe started crying as she turned over and popped her little head and Chosen smiled.

She saved him again.

"Man get yo baby, I gotta get ready and head out." He said and she sighed.

"Fine Nanny." She walked off huffing and he laughed.
