Thug Love (Chresanto Story)

One.

Carmen POV

I looked into his eyes, laying on his bed as he watched me, he sat on the edge of his bed, staring at me. It's like, his eyes caught me in a trap. He checked his phone then shook his head at me.

He licked his bottom lip and I felt my cheeks turn scarlet.

"Ion get it. Why a light bright like you walking around at 2 am? You could get hurt or summ, shorty" he said, getting up and going into the kitchen.

I got up and followed him and sat on a chair.

"I told you, I'm done with my mama ways. I can't do it no more. I just can't! She's not the same anymore. And I think she'll stay like that" I said looking at him.

He got two cups out the cabinet, sat them down on the counter and went to the fridge to get the juice and poured it into the cups.

He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Look ma, I ain't gon' tell you life is just a stroll in the park 'cause it ain't. Now I know it's wrong for a mama to be that way but Shawty you need to not let that shit phase you. Throw that shit back, and keep walkin'." He said looking me directly in the eyes.

Them eyes- a hazelnut brown that speaks all the truths. I glanced at his eyes looking left to right, then down at his lips. He just met me and he speaking all this real shit, my mind is hurting.

I can tell he a thug by just looking at him. Tru Religion jeans, Polo shirt, and butter Timberlands. Topped with a gold chain and watch. He's so caring and thoughtful, why the hell he in the game?

I thought about my granny and how she would react to see her daughter like this. She'd probably have a fit. Tears started streaming down my face and he grabbed me and hugged me, rocking me back and forth.

"Shh babygirl. I can't say everything gon' be ok but it will when I'm with you, aight?" He picked me up and sat me on the counter.

Our eyes locked together.

"You're beautiful as fuck. You know that?" He said. I brushed off what he said.

"What's your name anyways? I never got your name." I said.

He smiled and licked his lips.

"Chresanto" he smiled. I smiled a little too.

"I like that name. Can I call you Chres?" I said.

"You can call me whatever ma. Long as you respect me tho. What's yours, Shawty?" He asked sipping on his juice.

"Carmen" I spoke.

"Nice, it's fits you, ma" he smiled.

I nodded my head and motioned him to take me off the counter. He put me down.

"Um, can I have a towel or

something? I wanna take a shower." I said lowly.

He went into his bathroom and gave me a towel and a face cloth. I looked at everything in Awe.

His bathtub looked like a jacuzzi and he had an walk in shower and his sink was so pretty I wanted to cry.

"Wow. Your bathroom is amazing" I smiled.

He walked up closer towards me and leaned in my ear chuckling. Oooh, that sent chills down my spine.

"I know, haha you like it ma?" He spoke.

I nodded my head in approval and told him to leave so I can shower.

I turned the shower on and took off my clothes and got inside. I sighed in relaxation and closed my eyes to let the hot water relax my muscles.
