Bahja Roulette (Bahja and Jacob story)

Chapter 5 ♥ Didn't Know It Was That Serious

Two Months Later

Princeton found himself a job at the McDonald's they were at that night at week after sleeping on the streets. They bought a nice condo an hour away from Bahja's house. He promised to do all of the work as long as Bahja would maintain a decent job at a local dollar store.

"You're ready to go to work?" Princeton smiled as he straightened his hair net.

"Yes!" She cheered as she grabbed her pink purse on the door handle. They made their way downstairs, and grabbed both of their lunches Bahja had made for them the night before.

"Stir fry?" Princeton giggled before looking into the brown bag.

"Stir fry!" She smiled. "Great. I love your cooking so much. Even better than my mom's." He grabbed her cheek and planted a soft kiss on it before backing up a little to take a look at her gorgeous face. "I'm so glad we've made up. I'm sorry for being a dick, but you have to understand that I was only trying to help you."

"That's fine, Prince." She said in an unsure voice. "I understand."

She backed away from him a little, rubbing both her lips together nervously. "You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. I just... I was.. Could we go to work?" She stuttered, letting out a long sigh.

Princeton raised an eyebrow and squinted his eyes down at her.

"Okay..." He decided to let it go. She was a girl and she did have periods with mood swings. They made their way outside, and hugged before going their opposite ways. "Be safe!" He yelled, fainting into the distance.

"Okay!" She smiled back. When Princeton was completely gone, she took off her apron and threw it in the bushes.

"Come on, Manny!" She loudly whispered as she dug through her pockets for her house keys. Manny, the guy she met on Craigslist, hopped out behind the tree.

"What's up!" He smiled as he wrapped his arms around Bahja's skinny shoulders. "I've missed you."

"Yeah, keep it quiet. Do you have the guys?"

"They're on their way. I was thinking, we could probably... you know?" He made a sneaky smile and lowered his eyes onto her.

"Good lord, Manny! I just saw you last week and we had sex. Now you want some again?" She scoffed as she finally opened the house door.

He shut the door behind them and sat on the couch. "I just really missed you. I've been waiting every night to make love to you for the last seven days. Why do you even have to hide from this cat?"

Bahja bent down in the refrigerator to get an apple. She threw it over to him and sat beside him. "It's a long story. Just know that he can't know that I'm doing this." She sighed.

Bahja's obsession with Russian Roulette grew so much, that she went online and found guys to play it with her. She met Manny from one of the games she played, and immediately she couldn't stop talking to him. They built a secret relationship behind Princeton's back and visited each other every weekend when she would have random games of Russian roulette with a bunch of strangers.

"Manny, you know Princeton can't find out about us. He will flip."

Manny took a bite from the plump apple and gave her a disappointed look.

"Why? Is he your boyfriend?"

"No! He thinks he's my boyfriend... but I don't have any feelings for him.." She lied. Manny smiled and gave her a tight hug.

"Good. Because I would hate to have to kill a brother." He laughed, taking another bite into the apple.

Honestly, Bahja was catching feelings for Princeton and she was falling harder than him than she thought she ever would. When Princeton stood up for her that day and tackled that man in the bar from hurting her, she saw a different side of him. A guy who would protect her and stick up for her whenever. Manny did the same, but not like Princeton. And when a guy stood up for her, she couldn't help but catch feelings for him.
