Who Can I Run To

Let Me Hold You

It was Tuesday morning and Monica was off for the day, thoughts of Devon begin to cross her mind she had not heard from him over the weekend and Monday. This was not like him, even before the whole date he had been persistent in talking and seeing her. Rolling out of bed Monica headed into the restroom, she starred into the mirror and her hair was all over the place it had been a minute since she got to sleep in. Turning the shower head on she unclothed herself and stepped into the shower. Running her head through the water, she grabbed her bottle of shampoo and washed her hair and taking some soap and body wash she cleansed her body. After a thirty minute shower she stepped out wrapping her body with a towel, she walked over to the counter plugging her flat iron into the wall. Monica wiped the fog off the mirror and began to flat iron her hair making sure to curve and curl it at the ends. When her hair was done Monica stepped out the restroom, grabbing her coco butter from the dresser she sat on her bed putting the butter in her hands she started with her feet and worked her way up.  Stepping into her closet she decided to wear a backless dress to show off her tattoos, strapping on some heels she headed into the living room.

“Morning sister” Monica said looking at Whitney who was sitting on the sofa with her cellphone

“Damn Mo that dress is sexy, where you going” Whitney asked looking up at her sister

“Well I have a few things to handle, it’s my day off I felt like dressing up a bit” Monica said grabbing her purse

“Girl handle your business, we might have company tonight though I will send you a message”

“Company like whom”

“Well I want you to meet the guy I’m talking to; he might be your future brother n law”

“That’s what’s up”

“Yeah but, go ahead and handle what you have to do”

“Alright bye sis”

Monica stepped outside the sun’s rays were beaming today, she hopped into her car and cut the Ac up. Pulling out the driveway she headed to some apartments she was looking into by Stafford. Moving into her own place would be new; she thought her next move would be in a house with Jordan and making a family together. There were days Monica missed Jordan but, she could never forgive what he did to her. Pulling up to the apartments Monica rolled down her window and asked some female to let her in, after pulling through the gates she parked and walked into the office. Monica must was looking right because all eyes were on her as she walked up to the desk.

“Hello I am Sherry, how can I help you today” A woman behind the desk asked Monica, she was white with blonde hair; her glasses were thick and muggy

“My name is Monica I’m here to look at a one bedroom apartment” Monica said

“Alright well if you can hand me you ID, we will go for a tour” Sherry said

Once Monica gave Sherry her ID they went outside and got into a golf cart, going around to different apartments. Monica like the way they were big and nice looking, she came to one apartment and decided she wanted it, Sherry and her loaded up again and headed back into the office. After filling out paperwork Monica was given a two week period to move in satisfied she headed out the office, getting into her car Monica headed to Devon’s place.  Pulling up to Devon’s apartment Monica looked around and spotted his car, if his car was here he was here... So why had he been ignoring her she questioned. Stepping out the car she walked up the stairs and knocked on the door and waited, there was movement before he finally came to the door

“Monica… what you doing here” Devon asked opening the door

“I was worried about you, should I leave” Monica said looking at Devon who had on sweat pants and a muscle shirt
