9. Different Type Of Feel

The kiss with Kells stood on my mind all day as we got interrupted by Vin who was looking for me, saying his dad was there wanting to talk to me.

"He's by the bar," Vin says as I fix my lipstick and Kells wipes some off his lips from kissing me.

"I got uh–" I say to Kells but he nods, "I know we'll talk later," with that I walked to Mr. Klein who is having a bourbon.

"There's the angel," He says, raising his cup mid way to greet me, then crosses his hands on the bar counter.

I take a seat next to him, clearing my throat, smiling, "You wanted to talk?"

Nodding, Mr. Klein slides me a check, "Wanted to say I appreciate you joining the Klein family, we're glad to have you join. Next Saturday we're having a Fall From Grace soiree where you dress in either black or white to suggest angel or devil, hope you're the angel," He jokes then drinks.

Chuckling low, I nodded, thanking him and he smiles, "Vin, he's a different one, yeah?" He asks as I get up after taking the check. 

"He's a good different though," I say genuine.

Mr. Klein sniffs, wiping his mouth from the alcohol dripping on the edge of it.

"Can you do me a favor and watch out for him? He has Zae but I think Zae is getting tired of being on top of him to do the right thing here and there. Maybe a new friend will handle it better."

I looked at the check as he tripled the amount I was supposed to get.

"Are you paying me to be his friend?"

Mr. Klein shrugs, "Tomato tomatoe, just make sure he doesn't get into any more trouble before Saturday. Deal?"

Searching for him through the crowd of people in bikinis and swim trunks, I see him drinking more and getting visibly wasted. 

"Yeah, sure," I left, going over to take the bottle away from him, "Vin, let's go get some water."

Helping him stand, I take him to the other end of the place, forcing water down his throat.

"Your dad just paid me triple to babysit until Saturday, why?" I say not wanting to hide it from him.

Vin laughs hysterically, then looking at his hands he says, "I'm supposed to be in recovery from drugs and all that. Moved onto booze and drugs. Risky combination I guess."

I sigh, sobering him up, getting him a ride with Zae while Kells takes me to my place.

We were quiet the whole time until he parked and I said I wanted to sit there for a minute, wanting to talk about Nai and him.

"Explain, why was she wearing your hoodie? Coming out of your studio when we literally just got done falling asleep on the phone."

Leaning back, holding his head, he says even though they were toxic they did suffer a miscarriage when they were together and Nai came over drunk wanting to talk about it and he ended up talking her down from having a breakdown.

"That was it. I didn't sleep with her. I didn't do anything wild. It was just talking."

I gave him my condolences then mentally facepalm as I made it bigger than what it was.

"God, I'm dumb."

Covering my face I sighed more but felt him move my hands away from my face, having me look at him.

"It wasn't your fault. It was unexpected and taken out of context. She had my hoodie because she threw up on her shirt. I got her a ride then that was it. Maya, that whole friend shit? I was working out of my ego literally, I didn't mean that. I fucked up. I don't want to fuck up again."

The sincerity in his voice and eyes, I couldn't stop myself from leaning in and placing my lips on his like earlier.

I move over now sitting in his lap, his hands holding my waist.

"You know this isn't why I'm into you, yes you're beautiful but this isn't why," He says referring to sleeping with each other.

Just sitting on his lap and him still holding my waist I nodded understanding.

"Good, I actually haven't...you know," I say lowly.

His eyes grow wide, "Wait you serious?"

Shyly nodding, I'm about to get off him but he says it's okay.

"Like never? Ever?"

I nodded, "Just kissing, that's it."

He squints his eyes at me, "You're bullshitting right? I mean what about the whole Beck thing? Have you ever? With? You know?"

I shook my head, "Just kiss honestly, nothing else. Both guys and girls."

Kells is mind blown not believing me, "No you have to be pranking me. Say you swear."

I crossed my heart, "I swear."

Still in disbelief he shook his head grinning, "Man that's crazy," Leaning up he kisses me then leans back just admiring me.

"What?" I say now on his chest playing with his double X's earring in his left ear.

"It's a different type of feel when you're with someone that hasn't experienced that type of lifestyle you have."

I shrugged, "I just want to find the right one, is that wrong?"

Kells nods, "I get it."

"So you wouldn't feel any type of way if I said I want to wait?"

Moving my hair behind my ear he shook his head, "I wouldn't pressure you. I know my rap sheet is shit but I promise you I can wait."

I nodded then kissed him but wanted to actually know what it would be like to have his hands somewhere else.

Taking his right hand I move it to my back side wanting him to grab it as we kissed and he does.

We make out for what felt like forever but wanting it to last even more until my phone goes off and it's Beck.

Deattacing from Kells, I answer by going outside of the car hearing loud music in the background.

"Beck? Beck, where are you?"

A few more minutes and she says her house but Ferin is throwing some launch party for her new album and wants me there.

"Yeah uh give me like five minutes? Send me the address okay?"

Beck sends it then hangs up hearing her brother call her over to talk to some people.

I tell Kells and he ends up driving me there instead of me spending money on an Uber.

"Call me when you get back to your place," He says before I go into Beck's place kissing my lips.

"I will," I kissed back then went in seeing a whole frenzy of people then celebs I didn't think lived in Morsin City.
