Give Me A Chance [Short Story] (Book 1 Of 2)

FOUR

Jj

Watching this brought back so many memories. I missed the old days, where everything was simple and made sense.

Looking at my mom back then, I thought she was the best thing in my life. All I ever did was try my best to love her. Obviously it was just never were enough for her.

I sighed and tried to ignore the pain in my chest as tears streamed down my face. It was still good to see her again, even in death.

Jaden

I knew he was feeling horrible. Just by the look on his face, I can tell he's having a hard time trying to contain himself. I wanted him to let it out, every piece of bottled up emotion. It pains me to see him like this but, if he holds it in, I'm afraid he's gonna do something he would later regret.

I looked over at him and seen tears rolling down his face. I got up and went to hug him. As soon as I did he pulled me on top of his lap and bear-hugged me, letting out his cries.

I hugged him back and straddled him, letting out a few tears of my own. We rocked at the cries and singing at the graveside hymns as they slowly let her casket down. It seems almost as if this was happening again in real life.

After the video was over we still clung to each other. I listened as he tried to steady his breathing and heart rate down to a minimum of a normal state.

I started rubbing my hand on his back and on his head. I felt all the tension between his shoulders and neck, and slowly they started to dissolve from them.

He hummed in approval and slowly started to relax. His head slowly started to fall on my chest as he welcomed sleep. I smiled and continued to work on his tensions.

His arms slowly started to loosen from my back and dropped to my ass. I froze up a bit and started blushing. I haven't been held like this in a good while.

I snapped out of it and let him lay down on the sofa as he lightly snored. I got up and turned off the TV and VCR, then my phone started to vibrate on my chair handle.

I looked at the caller and seen Haile's picture popped up. I sighed I gotta go to work. Haile is my annoying ass manager, anytime I got a call from him, he wants me to come work extra shifts.

I work at a Alistar Gordon Co. , it's s a business trading company. I answered it and started walking up the stairs.

"This is Jaden.. "

" Its Haile, and I'm so sorry Jaden, but the boss asked if you can come in he'll double your pay for extra hours."
I sighed and looked back down at Platinum.

"I'm on my way," I said then hung up. I really hate my job. The only reason why I'm there is that the pay is beautiful. Other than that then I would have quit a long time ago.

I looked at Platinum and smirked. He still sleeps with his mouth slightly open. I took a picture of him and grabbed a pen and a piece of paper stating, "I'll be back later, make yourself at home...."

After I wrote it, I went upstairs and got ready for work. I showered and threw on my pressed clothes and watch, and cologne. After I grabbed a muffin from the kitchen, I was out of there and hopped in my car headed to work.

I hope Jj feels better.

Platinum

I slowly woke up by my head blaring with pain. It literally feels like someone's hitting me with a spoon, repeatedly on my forehead.
I sat up and massaged my temples and the areas that are throbbing the most.

After a few minutes, I then stood up and looked for Jaden. I really need to use the bathroom and then I'm off to a hotel or something.
As I'm about to call for him, I noticed a paper on the table.

"Hey if you are reading this then your awake... Well, of course, your awake if you're reading this. Duh. I'm at work now and the house is yours, make yourself at home. I'm actually very sorry that I'm not there because my boss is an asshole and he calls me in every-chance he gets... I'm sorry for rambling. I gotta go. ~Jai"

I laughed and folded the letter as I walked over to his windows. The view of the night lights is beautiful in New York. Everything looks as if I'm in an arena.

I smiled and stretched,--but quickly regretted it." Damn Jj, you need a goddammn shower. ASAP nigga."

I said talking to myself. Yeah, I do that sometimes, who doesn't?"

I grabbed my underwear and toiletries and proceeded upstairs. I walked into the bathroom and started stripping from my clothes. I grabbed a dry washcloth from the rack and started my shower.

Meanwhile...

I knew Jj didn't have a cell phone so I tried calling my house line... No answer. I wanted to know if he needed anything from Popeye's. I'm not sure if he likes their chicken. Because not everyone likes Popeye's Chicken. Maybe he likes Kentucky?

I shook my head in annoyance with myself. I can't believe I'm this confused, because of chicken.
Well its really because I don't want him to have something he doesn't like...

I'll just get the both of em'.

I arrived home in a hurry and walked into the kitchen hoping to find Platinum. I rested the food on the island and walked into the living room. He wasn't in here either, but his bag is still on the floor where I left it. 

He's either bathing or went out for some air.

"I'll just check if he's upstairs... " I said to myself. But if he isn't ill just wait up until he returns. I hope he's okay, wherever he is. I walked to my room and started taking off my work clothes. I honestly don't know why my boss wanted me to come in anyway. I didn't do anything but sit at my desk station and googled dumb shit.

After I took off everything, I walked towards my bathroom in swift movements. I'm really worried about the food getting cold and I haven't eaten all damn day.
Just as I walked out the door I bucked up against something... well, someone.
"oomph! " I said as he fell on top of me. Only then I noticed it was him.

"I'm so sorry. " We both said at the same time as I blushed and he smiled.

...
......
.........
We stayed like that for at least two minutes. Just looking at each other as our lengths started to awaken.

Then I decided to close our gap with a long-awaited kiss.
