Down For You

Chapter Seven

Cassie

I scrubbed my shirt roughly with a washcloth until I visibly looked clean. If this was how I was going to keep my job then I don't know how much longer I can do it.

I took one last look at myself in the small mirror and walked out the bathroom. Thank God that bitch Yasmin left I can't stand her ass.

"Sooo."Chres said breaking the ice.

I focused my attention towards him, "You ready for me to take you home- I mean to Chris's house." he quickly corrected himself, I looked over at Creston who was slowly falling asleep.

"Um...yeah."

We walked out the room quietly not wanting to wake Creston. "So you like her?" I asked when we were finally in the car. He knew exactly what I was talking about and plastered a smirk on his face.

"Why you wanna know?"

"I was just asking."

He laughed, "If it makes you feel any better...No I don't. I enjoy being single." I smiled a little it did make me feel better, "What?" he questioned, noticing my obvious grin.

"Nothing..im-I'm just surprised." I spoke up.

"Nah, I'm single. Not for long though I see something I want and I'll get it sooner or later."

I waved goodbye at Chres before walking into Chris's house. "wassup Cass." he said, I was shocked since I though he was still mad at me.

"Hey."  said taking a seat at the island where he was cooking. "I know you probably think I'm mad at you, well I was pissed, but I handled my shit."

"But you like my little sister and I'm very protective over you, especially with a nigga, especially that night Chresanto. He always talking about you and I be like goddam."

I started to blush, I didn't know Chres talked about me like that. He put a plate in front of me. "I know yo fat ass hungry." He said sitting next to me. I mugged him. He laughed, "But honestly I need to talk to you about something." I said eating my food.

"Wassup."

"I like Chres, like a lot, but everytime he talks to me I start acting bitchy and now I think he's talking to one of my co-workers...."

He held up his finger and stopped eating his food "I doubt it's anything serious."

"Maybe, maybe not..."

Chresanto

After I got from
the hospital I started working on guardianship for Creston. His doctor told me he'll be rleleased before Christmas, which is next month. I really want him for the holidays but my sister has custody over him. I dialed her number and waited for her to answer.

Christina(Chresanto's Sister): Hello

Chresanto: Hey it's Chres

I heard her sigh from the other in of the line.

Christina: What do you want Chresanto?

Chresanto: I just wanted to know if I could have Creston for the holidays.

I said cutting straight to it.

Cristina: Why? How do you even know he's gonna live to see next month.....

I clenched my jaw, I hate when she talks about him like that.

Chresanto: You don't want him anyways, so I don't know why your making such a big deal out of this.

Christina: You know what Chres take him and keep him, you can pick him up when he gets out. just don't call me when shit gets stressful!

The line went dead

Me and my sister's relationship has been like this since our parents died. We rarely talk ever since she got custody of Creston.

I picked up my phone and answered the unkown call,

????: I thought you were going to call me?

I furrowed my eyebrows and checked the time, it was damn near one o'clock.

Chresanto:Who is this?

I heard a female giggle at the other end.

????: Its Yasmin

I forgot I gave her my number

Chresanto: Oh, Yasmin, what's up baby?

Yasmin: Nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice. keep me company. I'm home alone and it's pretty scary.

She laughed, I knew where this was going.

Chresanto: Why are you scared?,4:

Yasmin: Well.....I'm not as scared now that I'm talking to you, You make me feel safer.

I bit my lip

Chresanto: I'm glad I can do that for you.

Yasmin: Me too.

We ended up talking for the rest of the night, until she fell asleep.

Cassie

"Chris I'm going to be late for work." I banged on his bedroom door, my shower wasn't working and Chris is having all of his other bathrooms renovated. "Christopher! I'm going to be late." I yelled again. He opened the door to his room, only in his towel.

I admired his body as my mouth slightly hung open. I quickly shook my head out of the trance he had put me in and pushed passed him into the bathroom.

I can't be thinking about Chris like that he's my bestfriend.

I hurried and ran my shower water and stripped out of my pajamas. Chris only had men's soap so I had to use that. I dried off my body and slipped on my scrubs. I washed my face brushed my teeth then pulled my hair in sloppy top knot.

I slipped on my all white addidas and headed out. Chris was laying on his bed watching ESPN. "It better not be any hair in my shower."He said.

I rolled my eyes and walked out.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Come on." I sighed turning the key in the ignition.

My car just would not start.

I sighed and banged my head the steering wheel, frustrated. I pulled my phone out of my scrubs pocket and dialed Chris' number.

Chris: Hello?

Cassie:Yeah, my car won't start can you take me to work?

I asked in my best nice voice.

Chris:Alright, I'll be down in a minute and I'll call someone check out somebody to look at your car.

Cassie: Thanks Chris.

I got out of my car and locked the doors I walked up to Chris Ferrari, when he came out the door. "Were not taking that." he said holding up the keys to his Rolls Royce. "I want to ride in this one." I argued.

"I don't care." He laughed and proceeded to get in the other car. I followed behind him and he drove me to work.
