Getting Grace

Chapter Twenty

Grace and Jerome's relationship changed a lot over a month. He's slowly been showing more and more respect to her. Grace still had a close relationship with Veneer. Kelly and her grow closer and closer each time they talk. Jerome and Grace take great care of Saint and she absolutely loves him. Jerome still has his Nigerian girl that has learned some English. Which means he's fucking her. Sorry Grace.

"Where you wanna go?" Jerome asked rubbing Grace's thigh. She gasped moving her legs off his lap and sitting up.

"Awe, you wanna take me somewhere?" Grace asked jokingly placing her hand over his heart.

"Shut up." He said smiling and pulling her legs back up. "We need to go somewhere."

"What you got in mind?" Grace asked.

"I'm asking you." He said patting her thigh. "I need you to think."

"Well, I thought about it and I just wanna stay here and cuddle with you." She moaned smiling at him.

"I'm cool with that, too." He said. "But it's never too late to change your mind."

"Come here." Grace said extending her arms out to Jerome. He leaned over her and kissed her. Grace held him around his neck and inhaled smelling him. "I forgive you."

"For what?"

"Forgetting our one month anniversary." She said.

"I didn't forget. I told you I don't celebrate one month anniversary's. It's not impressive." He said trying to sit back up.

"You could have at least acknowledged it." Grace said tapping his nose. "I need to get my nails done."

"Get your hands out of my face." Jerome said finally sitting up. "Check this picture out of my daughter." He said showing her to Grace.

"She's so beautiful. What happened?" Grace joked making Jerome mug her. "Stop mugging me."

"I can't help it. This is my resting face." He said. They stared at each other for a second. "You are so beautiful girl."

Grace smiled trying to hide her blush. "Thank you. You're not so bad looking yourself."

"Kiss." He said leaning in. They kissed and Grace slowly pulled away.

"Would you cheat on me?" She asked sadly.

"Absolutely not." Jerome lied and said. "I really like you and I'm not stupid."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously." He repeated thinking about all the fuck shit he's done in the short month they've been together.

"I'd never cheat on you." She said grabbing his face.

"That dark nigga count. I don't trust him." Jerome said. "He wants you too bad."

"But I haven't done nothing with him." She testified. "We had sex one time, and I gave him head."

"What?!" Jerome asked angrily.

Grace laughed. "I'm kidding babe. I don't plan to lose my virginity anytime soon, and I hope you know and respect that."

"I'm not mad because you let him smash before me I'm mad that I'm loyal and you cheat anyways." He said. "I don't joke with that stuff."

"I feel the same way." Grace said. "If you're gonna cheat on me or already cheated on me, please break up with me right now."

"I would joke, but I'm not because it's not funny. I don't cheat and don't want too." He said standing up. "Come lay down with me."

"Carry me." She said reaching out. He shook his head and stood over her.

"Come on." He said pulling her hand. She growled and stood up jumping on his back. "Fuck you."

She repeatively kissed his cheek moving closer to his lips, but never touching them. He sat her on the bed and laid ontop of her moving to the other side. He hugged her waist biting on her shoulder.

"Don't try nothing."

"I'm not worried about it." He said, then mumbled. "I could just fuck when I get home."

"Hmmm." Grace moaned curling up.

"What?"

"I got cramps." She's whined.

"Awe." Jerome said reaching over her to grab the remote. "What you want me to do about it?"

"You can't do anything. I just have to get over it." She groaned curling up tighter.

"Mhm." He said unwrapping himself from her. He started flipping through channels and texting Frank on his phone. "You sure you don't wanna go nowhere?"

"Mmm." Grace moaned.

"I think you need fresh air." He said getting up. "Come on."

"Jerooooome, I don't wanna get up." She said turning over.

"I'll carry you?" He said. Grace stopped and held her arms out. Jerome smiled picking her up. "You going like this?"

"Can you get my slides?" She asked. Jerome bent over and picked them up.

"You lucky I work out and I ain't no weak nigga." He said walking her downstairs. He squeezed her butt and she groaned.

"Thank you for carrying me." She mumbled kissing his neck. She hugged her legs around his waist tighter and rested her head on his shoulder.

"You such a big baby." Jerome said putting her in his car.

"I'm your baby." She said smirking. He got in and gave her her shoes. "Thank you."

"Imma start carrying you more." Jerome start. "I like touching ya ass."

"I felt that." She said sitting back. "Where are we going?"

"Just ride." Jerome told her turning the music up. Grace sighed and looked out the window realizing she left her phone at home. She got another small cramp and started rubbing her stomach.

"Children already? Really?" Jerome joked.

"Please don't play like that." Grace said seriously. "I don't like that."

"Why? Saint asks me so many times if you can be his mother." Jerome said picking his phone up to change the song.

"I love that boy." Grace said. "When we break up, we have to stay in touch so I can watch him grow."

"When?!" He asked with a smile. "Don't you mean if?"

"That's what I said." She lied, trying to play it off.

"Ok." Jerome said bringing Grace's attention to her surroundings.

"Where are we going?" She asked looking around.

"To pick up Saint and then to the next stop." He said pinching her cheek.

"Can we stop to get something to eat, please?"

"You got stop and eat money?" He said reaching into his back pocket. He pulled his wallet out and looked through it. "Fine. You lucky I got some cash on me."

"Awe thank you." She sitting up. "Checkers please."

"Mhm." He said. "Your favorite."
