Hold Tight

No Regrets

I ran down the street when I hear Justin repeatedly calling my name to come back.. But I don't even bother to look back.. Tears are pouring from my eyes and I continue to walk only blocks away from Za... He's the only one I can run to right now... When I got to the house I knocked on the door and it took him a minute to answer the door..

"Hey girl what's-" I cut him off by hugging him and sobbing in his arms... "Za... I don think I can do this anymore.." He rubs my back "come inside.. It's cold.." I walk inside with him.. And we walk to his room... He sits on his bed and tells me to sit next to him. "What happened baby girl.." He wiped some of my tears... "Justin... I don't know if I can do this anymore..." "What did he do?" He asks sweetly "okay.. So you know how I was born in raised in Canada well... He asked if I ever wanted to go back.. Because I haven't been there in years and I wa so excited... Then this morning we were suppose to leave but then I heard him on the phone with Khalil.. And he was saying that someone was trying to kill me which I'm aware of but.. He was saying how he was dragging my as to Canada and it wasn't for vacation.. It was to keep me safe.. He's hiding something.. And I don't know if I can do this..."

He hugs me as I began to cry again "he's just been acting so different lately.." I added "Shh.." He cooed.. "It's okay..." I sit up and look into Za's eyes... "What do you think I should do?" "Well... I mean.. Have you heard his side of the story?" I shook my head. "No..." He pulls out his phone and tells me not to talk at all... He clicks on the contact name Bizzle and puts it on speaker...

Justin- hello..

You could hear the pain and depression in his voice...

Za- hey what's up man..

J- I think she's gone man...

Z- actually she's at my place... She just went to the bathroom.. So tell me what's up!!

J- Man... I lied to her.. I told her were gonna visit her home town so we can have a little vacation.. But really.. The crew is planning on killing Jeffery and I don't want her anywhere near what's gonna happen...

Z- Oh.. Well.. She got here bawlin man.. Did you say something to her?

J- nawh man I was on the phone with Khalil.. Explaining to him everything and she blew up on me and just left..

Z- she's about to get out of the bathroom.. I'll talk to you later man.

J- aight.. Please tell her to come back. Please man.. Tell her I'm sorry and it hurts that she's not next to me.. I fucked up and I'm sorry.. Just tell her to come back.. Tell her I love her..

Z- aight man I'll try.. Bye

J- bye..

He presses the End button and looks at me.. "I don't know Za.. He's been acting really weird lately.." "I know but.. Did you just hear him.. He's hurt and he really loves you..." I nodded "can you give me a ride back.." He nods "yea.." He was about to get up when I hugged him... "Thank you for being there for me.. You mean so much to me.." He pus back and before I knew he leaned in and our lips connected. I kissed back slowly and without regret... His lips were so soft and sweet he bit my lip asking for entrance and I accepted and opened up as I began to moan in his mouth.. He kissed my neck slowly and I bit my tongue trying not to moan.. I moaned loudly when he found my sweet spot.. He reconnected our lips and pushed me back on the bed and began grinding on me.. I laughed in between the kiss.. He had the biggest smile on his face.. I reconnected our lips without regret and pulled back...

"Do you regret that?" He asks with a smirk.. "Not at all" I replied.. "Is it okay if I stay here with you..." He looks at the clock.. "Sure thang baby.." He says pecking my lips.. "You should call Justin back.." I'll text him..

To Bizzle

From Za

She doesn't want to leave man.. Just let her stay.. Go on to Canada.. I'll keep her safe.. I promise

Moments later he text back..

From Bizzle

To Za

Fuck!! Man... Aight.. I'll go but don't try anything funny... Tell her to call me please.. I'll see her next Monday..

I looked at the phone and saw the reply and then decided to call him back..

Justin- Hey Man What's up

Melissa- Hey baby..

J- Oh my god baby.. It's so great to hear your voice just hear me out..

M- okay

J- I'm sorry.. I fucked up and I'm sorry... You can stay with Za for a week.. You have an extra key if you want to get your clothes from the house.. I love you.. And I'm sorry

A tear rolled down my cheek..

M- it's okay Justin... Just give me some time... Text me if you need me okay.. I love you too... Bye baby

J- bye..

~ End Of Conversation~

I look back at Za as he gets up from the bed and takes me to the balcony.. Why is up with boys taking me to balconies! He grabbed my hand and interlaced our fingers "Melissa.." I look at him "yea.." He swallows hard and clears his throat

"I think I love you..."
