Love or Loyalty

Chapter 3

"Ahhhhhhh!!" The cashier screamed after 3 gunshots went off. Noelle covered her head thinking she was a goner. "Come on!" A mans voice yelled at her. She grabbed her bag and jumped over the lifeless body on the floor. "Get in." She listened to him and got in his truck. "Oh my God, what just happened? You just killed that man!!" Noelle screamed at him. "You better be glad I forgot my damn egg roll. Had I said fuck it, you would have been took pussy." She took a deep breath. "I don't know what to say." She shook her head. " Thanks would be a good start." She looked up to him. "Thanks Javier." "Your welcome Noelle." She frowned. "How-" "Your name badge...and u told me, duh..where you going, you a nurse?" She took another deep breath. "Get dinner and No.....not yet." Javier glanced at her. "You gone be safe. Lets get sum quick. I will take you home and tow ya car there. Don't need you going back to that spot." She agreed with a nod.
"How can you eat after what you just did? Almost as if you don't care." Noelle asked picking over her eggs. "I just love me some IHOP, and no. I don't care. That guy was about to rape and kill you just to join a gang." He chuckled "You think he would have given a fuck about you?" Noelle sat back and looked at Javier. He was right. And she knew she should at least try to be nicer. This man saved her from being a rape victim. He went about it the wrong way but he still saved her non the less. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Im afraid. Still. That has never happened to me. Thats all." Noelle took a bite of her food. "Well, is this an official date Ms?" She nodded. "Im a street guy. As Im sure you can tell by how I dress, My tattoos and gold teeth." "Its just two gold teeth so it doesn't count as gangsta." She joked. " ha, yea. True. Well Im a street dude. I grew up wealthy. Got a cold heart. Been living this life fa a while and I don't plan on changing. Shit, Im just that nigga." He took a sip of his drink. Noelle rolled her eyes. "You think that shit is cute I see." "I think you are cute Ms Noelle. I wish you would just give me a chance though. I usually pass on good girls like you." Noelle laughed a bit. "Good girl? Whats a good girl?" She started to feel more comfortable with his company, intrigued with his perception of her. "First off, your smile is so cute. Im really feeling your dimples. Your eyes are pretty as fuck. Never seen a pretty ass dark skin girl with gray eyes. I like how ya weave is, I like that you thick. You didn't know me so that right there was a big give away." Javier smirked. "Uh....sir, run your fingers through my scalp....yes, all 16 inches are mine. And who are you for me to know?" She began to blush. All of her life, she has never been on the slim side like her best friend Kaila. Wishing to be smaller, she always felt butterflies when a guy would tell her that her frame is beautiful. More like the new Jill Scott or new Monique, Noelle was a size 14. Her 5'9 height even her out giving her a hour glass figure. "Where is yo man?" He looked down at his phone trying to get her off the subject of who he was. "I don't have one. And you must be nobody sense I never herd of Javier." She said taking a bite of her bacon. "Baby, Im the streets. Im the hood. I handle business. Run businesses. Im a hood entrepreneur." He leaned in close to her "Im Javier Gomez baby" Noelle rolled her eyes.
"You really don't know me do you?" He asked jokingly. "Am I supposed to? After what you just did, I really think I should." He took a deep breath. "Never speak of that again. One of my boys just texted me. He towed your car. Its late, I know your probably tired. We can go get your whip in the morning. But please....please give me a chance ma. I promise I wont disappoint you." Noelle nodded. She had to admit to herself, this guy was sexy as hell. She never been attracted to the brighter complexion fellas but he had a temp fade with deep waves and his beard was perfect. His lips were full and his dark brown eyes were mesmerizing. She zoned out admiring him. Not hearing a word he was saying but looking him in his face. His teeth were white and pretty. His smile made her feel something she hadn't felt in years. Strange enough, the fact that this man saved her from being hurt by killing her attacker made her feel the sudden urge to show him just how grateful she was. "Hello??" He waved his hand to get her attention. "Sorry, what?" He smiled "Girl, come on." He said extending his hand. She stood to his 6'3 muscular frame. He smelled so good. She couldn't help but give in and hug him. "Thank you Javier. So much...." "Show me. Let me take you out again." He said looking down in her full face. She nodded. This was a strange way to meet but she was ready to go wherever he was going to take her.
