My muse ||Adonis Creed

"Well thank you"

"I don't know why your all excited , his name is Donnie, and he just moved upstairs. He just took me out, that's all," Aaliyah explains as Dewayne gives her a look of doubt. "That's it? Where's the smut?" Dewayne questions, raising an eyebrow. Before Aaliyah could answer Dwayne then cuts her off. "Is he you know?"Dewayne questions smirking, stretching out his arms to emphasize the length causing aaliyah to gasp in surprise. "Dewayne! I don't know I just met him" Aaliyah says hitting dewayne causing him to laugh.

"You are just like Bianca," she murmurs. "Oh yeah, how is she? It's been a minute," Dewayne asks, leaning back against the couch. Aaliyah shrugs. "She's fine, getting on my nerves as usual," she says with a small laugh. Dewayne chuckles. "Sounds like her. But back to Donnie. You sure there wasn't any... you know, romantic tension?"

"I mean, he's sweet, and we had a good time. But I'm not looking for anything serious right now. I just want to get to know him better first. Boy we just met" Aaliyah says sighing as dewayne nods, his expression softening. "Alright in all seriousness just promise me you won't shut yourself off from the possibility of something more. You deserve to be happy. Dont block your blessing" Dwayne says causing Aaliyah to smile grateful.

"Thanks, Dewayne. I promise I won't shut myself off. But for now, I'm just taking it slow." Aakitah says as Dewayne nods in agreement. Aaliyah hasn't had the best with relationships her last relationship, Erik he was a toxic one and she couldn't take it anymore. "Well alright then go head girl" Dewayne says teasingly as Aaliyah chuckles.

....

The days fly by for Aaliyah, filled with caring for Katie, catching up with Bianca over coffee, performing soulful tunes at various local venues, and doting on her mischievous cat, Gingerbread. As she walks home one evening, she spots Adonis walking along the same path. "Hey," Aaliyah greets warmly, causing Adonis to turn around with a slight start, a faint smile spreading across his face. "Uh, hey, what's up?" he responds, his voice tinged with pleasant surprise.

"Nothing much, just heading back home," Aaliyah replies with a smile that lights up her eyes. "How about you?"

"Just got back from the gym," Adonis says, adjusting the strap of his gym bag. "Trying to stay in shape, you know."

"Oh, right, working on your jawns," Aaliyah says with a nod, her gaze involuntarily drawn to his glistening, toned body. She feels a flush rise to her cheeks. "Um, I should go," she adds awkwardly, suddenly aware of where her eyes had lingered.

"Wait, uh, I was wondering if you... wanted to hang out tomorrow afternoon," Adonis says nervously, his own smile slightly uncertain but hopeful.

Aaliyah smiles, a bit of amusement softening her embarrassment. "Sounds fun. I'll treat you to lunch and tea," she suggests, trying to regain her composure.

Adonis's face lights up at the thought. "Great, I'll see you tomorrow," he says eagerly as Aaliyah nods, returning his smile before turning towards her apartment.

....

Aaliyah swung the door open to find Adonis standing there. "Yo," she greets, a wide smile spreading across her face as she welcomed him inside. "What's up?" he responds with a grin, stepping into the cozy apartment filled with the comforting scent of home-cooked food.

"It smells amazing in here," Adonis compliments, taking in the inviting aroma as he glances around the neatly decorated space. Suddenly, Katie emerges from the bedroom, spotting Adonis.

"You're Katie, right?" Adonis asks warmly, his friendly demeanor putting Katie at ease. She nods shyly and waves in greeting. "Hi," Adonis replies warmly, returning the gesture.

"Aaliyah, you remember Adonis, right?" Aaliyah signs to her sister, who nodded with a smile. "He's your boyfriend, isn't he?" Katie signs back, curiosity evident. Aaliyah gently shook her head. "Very funny, you little brat," she responds with a chuckle, then turned her attention back to Adonis, who had been observing their interaction with amusement.

Suddenly, Adonis heard a soft meow behind him and turned to see a ginger cat padding into the room. "You have a cat?" he asks with surprise. Aaliyah nods, her face lighting up. "Oh yes, this is Gingerbread, but I call him Ginger," she says affectionately, scooping up the purring feline into her arms.

"Can I?" Adonis askes eagerly, indicating he wanted to pet Ginger. Aaliyah nods with a grin, gently handing Ginger over to Adonis. Ginger, curious but friendly, nuzzled Adonis's hand as he cautiously began to stroke the soft fur.

"Hey there, Ginger," Adonis murmurs, his smile widening as Ginger purr louder, clearly enjoying the attention. Aaliyah watches fondly, pleased to see her cat warming up to Adonis.

"See, he likes you," Aaliyah remarkes with a teasing grin, as Ginger curled contentedly in Adonis's arms. "You know you don't seem like a cat person" Adonis says putting ginger down causing Aaliyah to look at him. "What animal did you think I'd have?" Aaliyah asks teasingly causing him to chuckle. "I don't know like a fish or something" he responds making Aaliyah chuckle.

"Anyways, I don't know what fighters drink, so you drink tea?" Aaliyah asks, changing the subject as she offers Adonis a beverage. Adonis nods in agreement. "Yeah, tea's good, thank you," he replies, his eyes scanning the apartment.

"So this is the house," Adonis observes, gesturing around the space. Aaliyah nods in confirmation. "Yup, this is it," she affirms, feeling a sense of warmth in sharing her home with him. Meanwhile, Katie settles on the couch with her tablet, engrossed in her own activities.

Adonis notices a small piano on the counter and approaches it, pressing down on the keys lightly. "So, whatcha working on?" he asks, his curiosity evident as Aaliyah prepares their tea.

"A little something for now," Aaliyah replies, pouring the boiling water into a mug and adding tea bags. She glances up at Adonis, meeting his gaze with a hint of uncertainty.

"Wanna show me?" he suggests, his genuine interest sparking a glimmer of excitement in Aaliyah's eyes. "Sure" Aaliyah says before tapping her sister making her look up. "I'll be in my studio" she signs causing Katie to nod in understanding.

...

"So after I get the music down, I just record," Aaliyah explains, showing Adonis around her studio setup. "Let me see you do somethin'," he prompts with a grin as Aaliyah takes her place, turning on the music. The room fills with a smooth melody, and she begins to sing.

"Focus on me... baby, can you focus on me... baby," Aaliyah sings, her voice flowing effortlessly. Adonis's gaze intensifies, completely captivated by Aaliyah.

"Hands in the soap. Have the faucets running. And I keep looking at you. Stuck on your phone. And you're stuck in your zone. You don't have a clue," Aaliyah continues singing, nodding along as she writes down lyrics. She turns to find Adonis still staring at her.

"I just say anything, and if it's right then I write it down. I'm still stuck on this song," Aaliyah admits, smiling nervously.

"You are beautiful," Adonis blurts out, causing Aaliyah to flush slightly. "I mean, your song is beautiful. You're a beautiful singer," he quickly corrects himself, his cheeks coloring with embarrassment.

Aaliyah laughs softly, touched by his compliment.

"Well thank you"
