Safety In Numbers ( BWWM) On HOLD

" You knew?" I wiped my eyes and gave one of those giggles you do when your crying.

She just smiled at me.

Ryker came to the table with his food with a huff.

I smiled but it turned to a frown the second his cold eyes met mine.

" What's wrong with you? " His glare turned soft.

" It's just..."

-----

" Its just, I don't feel- like I mean i-" He sighed. "

" You don't feel apart of the relationship do you? " I finished his thought.

" yeah. I can just sense your love for each other and I feel left out. I left this morning because I could tell it was a sensitive moment for you two, and I felt like I was invading. "

I scooted towards him. My hand encasing his.

" I don't ever want you to feel like you don't belong. Ever. It's just my bond with Elijah is strong and his bond with you is strong but our bond together is stronger, we've just been through lot-"

" None of that's my fault! And That's the problem!" I cowered away as his lethal eyes took in my state.

" Woah. Wait. Watch who the hell you talking to b*tch. You yelling at her after she just told you they been through a lot. Do you even know what she's been through? Hell! I barely know and I'm her best damn friend. You got a lot of f*cking nerve. " Her wild brown eyes and loud voice caused a lot of heads to turn our way.

She threw back her chair and stomped off.

His gaze followed her out the food court.

His face turning redder by the second.
I just shook my head and followed her.

I didn't want to leave Elijah alone with him beacuse both were angry and that's just... dangerous.

But I had too, she's my best friend.

I jogged until I saw the bright pink vans of Denise.

" De! DE! Wait up!" She stopped with her back turned to me.

I walked beside her for awhile before I spoke up.

" What's wrong?" She took a deep breath and wiped her eye.

" It's just I only know the tip of the iceberg of what you went through. I heard you crying at night, sometimes screaming when you had nightmares and then he tries to get upset. He had Elijah and he blew it. Now that Elijah's moved on he feels left out. That's all, he just wants Elijah for himself. "

I gave a sigh.

I knew that much but I'm one to work things out.

And now that I'm exposed to the polyamory community I just love it.

" I know. " She looked over at me before hugging me.

" Girl. You just had a mad cute proposal though so let's not let that loser ruin it. "

" I know right. It was cute, I had a mouth full of food. Almost had me choking on my orange chicken!" I laughed out after mimicking how I would have choked.

" I saw y'all from afar and I was mad like, I wanted to be up close and personal, but I guess he just wanted it to be intimate. "

" Probably " I said shaking my head. He has always been a little on the closed off side when it came to showing me off.

His friends would often ask who I was when I went to see him play at the basketball game or when we went to football games.

He'd always reply with ' My woman, she's my girl and everything on her is mine. ' I would Crack up as they looked at him like he'd grown to be green.

One made the mistake of saying that I wasn't even that pretty.

One thing led to another, one to many yo momma insults were thrown, then soon fist were thrown.

" While you thinking about who knows what I was talking to you. " Denise rolled her eyes playfully as I gasp dramatically.

" Yes sweetheart?" She batted her eyelashes at me and gave me and evil smirk.

" Well since I was thinking. You know I do that often-"

" Much to my dismay. But continue. "

" Like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. Maybe we can get you a cute lace panty set or something. Something for Elijah. "

I thought about it for a second.

" Sure. Why not. "

-

" This one makes me look like a hoe. "

" Your his personal hoe. " She yelped after the hanger I threw hit her.

" Don't play me hoe. "

" You guys are sure using the word how alot huh?" Elijah said as he hugged me to his body.

" Babe! It's a surpise! You can't see me!!"

" You John Cena now? And I'd prefer it if you were to wear nothing. "

" Well to bad. What's your favorite color. Didn't it change to red or something?"

" My favorite color on you is pale pink or any pastel colors. Just the way they look against your skin. "

" Thank you baby. Now shoo. " I said pushing his big frame out the small dressing room area.

" Love you baby. "

" Love you too!"

I looked at the rack full of different panty and bralettes and what not.

I picked up a lavander, pale pink and baby blue panty set.

" I'll get these. "

" Good choice. " Denise said pinching my butt.

" Stop woman. "

We walked to the cashier.

" Your total will be 67.49. "

I sat in the middle of the hotel room.

Denise and Ryker downstairs in the pool.

Elijah was coming back from the gym.

I heard the rustling of a gym bag and repositioned how I was sitting.

" Baby you i- Woah. " My lingerie clad body gently shook as his burning glare too in my state.

" Why baby. You look stunning. "

"Thank you. Come here." His sweaty Arms tensed when he came closer to me.

I had on his favorite body oil on and the baby blue set.

My legs gently spread for him.

" Your so beautiful baby. I'm so lucky. Oh man I'm so lucky. " His hand came out to grasp my hand.

" You don't get to touch me baby. I touch you. That's it. "
