Lost In Paradise(EDITING)

16. Just Being Honest

Paradise

Its been two days since Khalil has been out the hospital. He's been on bed rest and he hates it.

I've been catering to him for these past two days. I don't mind helping out. I love to help people in any way I can.

I walked back into his room with a turkey sandwich, a bag of Doritos, and a can of grape pop since he told me he was hungry.

When I walked in he was reading something out of my notebook. That instantly pissed me off.

"What the hell are you doing?!" I snatched the notebook out his hands as he smirked at me.

"I like the songs you wrote. Especially Mother, you should let me help you record it.

With every thing that has been going on, I forgot about Khalil having his own studio. But that was all the way in Ohio.

"How are we going to do that if all your equipment is at your old house?"

"We can order some more. Make our own little studio here since we can't go to school right now. It'll give us something to do." I've always wanted to record all the song I've written. I agreed to it and he got busy on ordering everything he needed.

"What's going on with Jheri? He's been acting distant since we got here."

Jheri does nothing but stay in his room all day. He's been acting really weird and im worried about him.

"He don't tell me much. Guess it has something to do with me getting shot and him not being able to help me." Khalil seemed so nonchalant about it. If he wasn't worried, I shouldn't be either.

Everyone has been acting distant lately now that I think about it. Uncle Josh, My mom, and Gina hasn't told us much about what's going on with The Cartel. The have increased the bodyguards which made me even more nervous but they won't answer none of my questions so I left it alone.

I handed Khalil his lunch and got in the bed with him. I've gotten comfortable around him but I still have my moments. I'm just taking it one step at a time.

"Damn this shit itch." I saw him trying to scratch his incision and I slapped his hand away.

"You'll get it infected. Its healing so don't touch it." I told him sternly.

"Ok nurse Pari." He said while laughing. I rolled my eyes before averting my attention to my phone.

I could feel Khalil staring at and I tried my best to ignore him but it wasn't working.

I was getting uncomfortable so I started to get up but he grabbed on to my arm.

"Look at me." I hesitated at first but turned to look at him. Our eyes met and we stared at each other for awhile. And then he kissed me. He kissed me with so much passion and it felt good.

I kissed him back and then I got a horrible flashback.

So you just gon walk out without giving me a kiss? You know better than that.

"No!" I pulled away from him and slapped him. That caused too many emotions to run through me and I didn't like it.

"Paradise what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Just leave me alone I can't deal with this.' I got out of the bed and started walking towards the door but he pulled me back before I could get far.
