He'll Thug For Me

Taking It Slow

That night I basically ignored Jace until he left, which is crazy because I wanted that kiss and more. But I had to be rational, Jace was making a mistake. Even Rah Rah said it himself. I'm no good for him and the quicker he realizes that the better.

I ain't good enough and will never be.

Keeping the same clothes on I had on all day, I laid down and thought about impure thoughts of Jace. To say it did something was an understatement. I wanted him so badly right then and there.

I hear the front door open and close. And this time I wait to see if he comes in here. This time I want him to.

But he doesn't. It goes quiet after a few minutes. And just like that I roll over frustrated and go to sleep.

"Yo, what time you plan on heading out?" Jace ask while I'm brushing my teeth.

"We can now if you need to," I say. I don't want to go back home or the place I reside. I like it here. With Jace.

"Aight coo. I packed your clothes in a bag we can leave out in ten," he says before exiting the bathroom.

I follow behind, "Jace wait..."

He faced me. I could see clear annoyance on his face. I deserved that.

"What you forgot something?" He asked.

I nod before my feet head his way. I see myself doing it and I'm demanding myself to stop but I can't. My body won't let me. Before I know it I'm locking lips with Jace, it doesn't take long for him to respond and move into motion with me.

His hands hold onto my waist and thankfully stay there.

I can feel my body heating at his touch. When the kiss deepens I let out an involuntary groan. Jace is a damn good kisser.

To my surprise he's the first one to pull away. His body heaves up and down as he stares at me with so much yearning in his eyes. I'm yearning to.

When I break eye contact, Jace says, "I wanna make you mine."

I look back at him like he's crazy. Cause that dumb ass is. "Did you not hear Rah Rah? I'm bad news."

Jace let out a humorless laugh, "Why? Cause you ain't out here being some hoe with a fashion sense or cause you ain't feelin me? But that's a damn lie if you say you ain't, you clearly feel somethin."

"Yeah so?" I shoot back.

Aggravated with me, "Then that means pursue that shit! You don't let an opportunity pass yo ass up."

"Jace can't you see I'm not good for you? You can do better than me..." It pained me but it was the truth, "...a lot better."

"Then I guess my happy black ass settling for less cause I want you."

I shake my head laughing. I've never met anyone like him before and maybe it's not a bad thing to go forward with him.

"So what's up?" He says.

I roll my eyes nodding, "I warned you...but can we take it slow?"

He laughed, "You really think I want to wife yo ass after a kiss? You good and all but I like to take...my...time."

I smile, feeling my inside stir. What did I just do?

After that we get ready to leave and head out. On our way out I run into Heather. She said she wanted another day like that and to make sure I was there. Surprisingly I really bonded with her. And she was the one that didn't care for me at all.

"And keep that black thing off your beautiful golden hair. You're prettier than me and you're not wearing makeup. Life is so damn unfair," we both laughed.

"Not that I agree but thank you," I reply.

"Anytime gorgeous. Alright I need to get to work. Bills don't pay themselves." She brought me and Jace into a hug before heading off.

"You ready?" Jace asks at my side.

I look around, I know I'm going to be back but damn I don't want to leave. "As I'll ever be."

He places an arm around my shoulder while carrying a big bag. He packed it with a lot of his ex's clothes and was working on the second bag when I told him to leave the rest here when I stay. He was uh happy to hear that.

In the car I keep my focus outside. I'm going home...I don't want. What's there ain't nothing good. It's a reminder of how shitty of a life I have...all the bad stuff. With Jace there's good. I want that.

"You aight?" He asks.

I look from the window to him. "I like staying at your place. It's beautiful there."

Wrapping a hand into mine, "One day you will be there...permanently. But since yo ass want to take it slow and shit," he smiles, "you only get us on weekends."

I laugh, "Oh don't play I like the apartment not you."

He laughed, "Oh shit. Someone feelin real as hell. Lil ole Jace don't matter anymore."

I crack up laughing. This damn guy.

"Na but foreal the house gone be boring as hell without you. Imma miss you."

My insides tingle. "I'll miss you, too."

He gives my hand a light squeeze.

For the rest of the ride we just talked about simple things. He was the most laid back person I ever met. I literally could talk to him about nothing and it would be so easy.

I can't believe he actually wants someone like me. Whatever I did to deserve that I am thankful. Beyond it.

"Aight...I guess this is it then...until Friday after school," Jace said looking at my worn down place. He plans picking me up after school and taking me out to eat before I go home or maybe his place.

I nod stiffly, not ready for him to go, "Yeah..."

He scans me before pulling to my side and kissing me. My lips move against his so effortlessly.

I slowly pull away, with my eyes still closed until I'm back on my side. "Thank you again."

He nods. He gets out of the car and comes to my side opening the door. I reach to the backseat and grab the bag and get out.

"I'll see you Friday, aight?" Jace says as I walk away.

I nod, "Friday." I turn back around and head to the house.

Right before I open the door, it swings open revealing a pissed off Daneisha. Oh shit.
