Who Can I Run To

Excuse me miss

The next morning Monica awoke to her alarm from her phone turning it off, she rolled over to see if Jordan was awake seeing he was she kissed him on the cheek. Stepping out of bed she went into the restroom and begins getting ready for work. Going into the kitchen Jordan is making her something to eat she looked him up and down. There he was in his uniform, she loved the way he took pride in ironing his clothes and the way his hair was always trimmed and cut. Jordan handed her a plate and kissed her forehead

“I work late tonight baby, so don’t forget to lock the doors and keep the gun close”

“Nigga I got this, dang you act like this every time you work late”

“Baby you important to me, I’m not trying to lose you over no dumb shit “

“I know I know babe but, I will be good alright”

“Yeah alright, I got to get out of here I love you baby”

“Love you too babe “Monica said kissing Jordan on his way out

Shortly after arriving to her job Monica had already been hit with a lot to do, the waiting room was overflowing with patients and things to do. Upstairs to downstairs, elevator to elevator. She started to feel like a mouse in a maze the way, she was going back and forth in and out of rooms and heading to different floors by her 8th time of getting on the elevator a light skinned male stepped on with her. The smell of Tru religion cologne filled the elevator, she looked at him out the corner of her eye he had on Jordans nice jeans and a white t-shirt on with the Jordan logo on it . His Arms were filled with tattoos, but they were all designed and creative .She felt like he was looking at her so she looked up, he had grey eyes and some big lips

“Well excuse me, beautiful how are you” his voiced echoed through the elevator walls

“I’m Monica “she said pushing a strand of hair behind her ear

“Well I’m Devon last name carter “he said pulling out his cell phone, black iPhone with a blue case

“That’s cool” Monica said eyeing what floor they were on, she knew it was wrong to be talking to him, especially the way her  eyes couldn’t stop looking at him

“Look I don’t mean to be rude, I know we just met but you are very beautiful can I get your number Monica “Devon asked

As she was about to answer , the elevator let off at her floor , walking out she let the door close and left him standing there with a look. She rushed back to her desk to help out and do her job. As the clock begin to tick and tock she kept thinking about Devon, I mean she had just met him but yet it was something about his eyes that made her want to know more. The time came for Monica to go home, but walking out to the parking lot, her jaw dropped slightly to see Devon standing by her car, closing her mouth much she walked like she did not see him, making it to her car she looked at him

“So you’re stalking me now” Monica said opening up her trunk and placing her bags in

“No I know the security around here, and asked them which car was yours” Devon smirked

“Sounds like stalking to me “Monica said opening her door and getting into her car

“Look all I want to do, is take you out …get to know you (he paused) go out for a walk even “

“Look you seem like a nice guy, but I have a man at home “Monica said pushing his hands from her door so she could close it

“Here’s my number, your relationship can’t be all that if you gave me the day and time to talk to me “Devon smiled dropping his number through her window before walking off

“Wow” Monica said, before pulling out the parking lot he was attractive but, at the same time she had Jordan and there was no need for cheating. Pulling into the apartments she grabbed her things from the trunk and headed up to the apartment. It would be a lonely night, she hated the fact Jordan had to work late but at the same time without money these bills wouldn’t pay themselves. Turning on some music she begins to play some old Dj Screw and Fat Pat, the bass boomed throughout the apartment.  Eating some leftovers from the other night she got on her phone and begin texting Jordan she was missing his ass like crazy. As it begins to hit dark Monica ended up dosing off on the couch, but awoke to the vibration of her phone.  

“Hello” Monica answered the phone half sleep

“Sorry baby, if you sleep ill just talk to you later” came Jordan’s voice through the phone

“It’s all good babes, what’s wrong” Monica asked getting up slowly off the couch

“Nothing had a little free time, I was missing you so I called” Jordan said

“I miss you too babe, I had a long day at work”

“Damn I’m have to relax you when I get home”

“I would love that “Monica smiled, turning off the stereo she climbed into their bed and lay down as the phone rested to her face

“I know you would, but I love you baby be safe I have to go”

“I love you too, good night “

After hanging up the phone, Monica hooked it up to her charger before falling back to sleep. Around midnight the door unlocked and in walked Jordan, he smiled at seeing Monica sleeping so peacefully. Heading into the shower he freshened up then climbed into bed grabbing her waist he pulled her on his chest and kissed her good night. The next morning Monica was so happy it was a Saturday and she did not have to work, she rolled out of Jordan’s arms and headed into the restroom, she was thinking about getting her hair done today and by the looks and feels of it she needed a perm and bad. Sending her stylist a txt msg she got the reply she needed and closed her phone. Tying her hair back , she slipped on some vintage jeans and a tank top , sliding on her sandals she went into the living room drawing back the curtains she begin cleaning up the living room.  Jordan walked into the living room and smiled at the site of Monica bent over cleaning off the tables in the living room

“Good morning baby” Jordan said smiling

“Stop being nasty” Monica said turning around already knowing what he was looking at

“Shit it’s mine I got to look” Jordan went over to Monica and lifted her in his arms kissing her and she started kissing and biting on his neck

“Babe stops like for real, I got to go in a few” Monica said breaking away from his tight embrace

“Where you going, I thought you were coming with me today” Jordan said looking confused

“Going with you where, I need to get my hair done” Monica said

“Damn baby how you forget what today is (he started to shake his head)   my mom got out today, you said you would go with me to meet up with her”

“Fuck!” I did forget babe I’m really sorry, but look this will give you and her some time to catch up” Monica said sitting on his lap, she knew she was wrong for forgetting but she had a busy week just like him

“Whatever baby”

“Jordan don’t be getting all mad and shit, I’ll make it up to you I promise”

“I’m good, can you get off of me so I can go get ready”

“That’s that shit” Monica moved off his lap and grabbed her purse kissed his cheek and headed out the door
