It's Us Against The World

Chapter 8

Nikki's POV

I woke up in Darius's arms and when I turned around, I was laying on his chest that is full of tattoos. I started tracing over them lightly, careful enough not to wake him. The sound of his soft snores filled the room, but it didn't bother me. It comforted me because I know he's here.

I felt him shifting so I looked up at him as he blinked several times before opening his eyes and staring down at me. "Good morning beautiful." He said in his groggy morning voice. It's kind of sexy, and I felt chills run up my spine as my face heated up. "Good morning." I replied.

I sat up, and he grabbed my waist making me look down at him. "Where are you going?" He asked. "To take a shower, and get ready for today." I said looking down at him.

"Stay, cuddle for a minute." He said pulling me back down onto his chest. "We've been cuddling since last night." I said before looking up at him. His chest vibrated as he laughed. "Actually since this morning," he said.

"Potato po-tato," I said giggling. "Nope it's different," he said smiling. "Same difference," I said poking his side. "I see you found a loophole," He said smiling. "Yup," I said laying on his chest.

I just stared at his tattoos as I traced them. "Darius why do you have so many tattoos?" I asked honestly curious. "I don't know, because I wanted them."

"But how do you think it's going to look when you get old? It's going to be faded and hanging looking all nasty." I said laughing. "Nah ma, I'm ah stay in shape for one, two I might get them removed before I get to that stage." He said as he started stroking my hair.

Warmth filled my body as I relaxed because the stroking of my hair made me relax and get comfortable. "Stop before you put me to sleep." I purred removing his hand. "I can put you to sleep a lot of ways." He said looking down at me.

"I am not a baby, I will not be rocked to sleep or cradled to sleep." I said sitting up. "Oh you are a baby if you ain't catch on, but I will say there will be a lot of rocking." He said winking.

My eyes damn near popped out of my head once I caught on. I grabbed the pillow that I laid on last night and hit him twice on the head.

"Aye cool it, chill out. You not just any baby, you my baby so you don't have to worry about it." He said catching my arms before pulling me down and pecking my lips, then kissing me for real.

Then Keke burst into the door, making jump away and pull the blanket over my head. "Damn you don't know how to knock?" Darius asked sounding annoyed. "Well it's not my fault you and Nikki up in here being freaky." She said before leaving out. My face is burning red now, I can't believe Keke found us.

Darius pulled the blanket from over my head and saw me probably burning red. He chuckled at me as he stared at me. "It's not funny!" I semi yelled as I am embarrassed.

I got up and walked to the door, covering my face. "Where are you going?" He asked laughing a little. "To the room I was given to get ready." I said still covering my face.

Darius POV

I watched as she walked out my room, and her ass jiggled with every step she took. She already short, so for her ass to be that big and moving like that, she looked like one of those minions off of despicable me.

I got up and got in the shower.
