I pulled my hair up on top of my head and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like a mess. I sighed and stuffed my hands in my hoodie when it was a knock on the door. It opened and Jay stepped inside with a bag in his hands.

"Hey." He said. I gave him a head nod. "What's up?" I asked. He shrugged. "I went shopping for you, I noticed how uncomfortable you were in the clothes I gave you." "Oh, thanks." I said.

He nodded his head and I noticed he couldn't stop starring. I remembered I only had panties on under my hoodie. I sat on the edge of my dresser and tilted my head. "You see something you like?" I asked him.

He looked up at me. "Nah." I raised a brow. "You sure?" He nodded and ran a hand down his face. "Yea im sure dinner will be done in an hour." He said. I nodded and watched him leave.

I'm not gonna lie. He's fine..But I could tell something was wrong with him. He barely leaves the house and he stays in his room all day. Its weird.

After I got in the shower and got dresses I slipped on some shorts from my bag along with a silky bra to go with it. Growing up poor a with no one to take care of me I never had anything this fancy.

I slipped my slides on my feet and made my way downstairs to see Jay eating a slice of pizza. "I thought you were making dinner." I said taking my usual seat. "Yolanda had the night off so I just ordered pizza. Problem?"

I shook my head grabbing a slice. "Not at all." I said. He nodded and stood up. "Can I watch TV?" I asked. He nodded and I grabbed the remote cutting Law & Order SVU on. "Best Law & Order ever." I said sitting on the couch.

Jay sat beside me and laid back. "What's your story?" He asked. "What you mean?" I asked with my mouth full. "I mean what's your life story." He said looking at me.

I squinted my eyes at him. "My parents gave me up for adoption when I was one. Ive been alone ever since." "I'm sorry." "I dont need you to feel sorry for me. I had enough of that growing up." I said.

He was silent. "So what's up with your weirdo? How come you barely leave the house and stay in your room all day?" I asked. He laughed. "I'm weird because I keep to myself?" He asked. I nodded finishing my pizza.

"Yes." I said. He sighed. "I don't get out much, I hired Yolanda when I bought this house and she's been working for me ever since." "Have y'all ever-" "Oh no, completely professional relationship." He said.

I nodded. "Yea you seem kinda boujee too." He laughed out loud. "Boujee huh?" I nodded. "Most definitely." "Well I assure you that I'm not boujee I was actually born here on the south side." I raised a brow. "Really?"

"Mhm. Went to the highschool just a couple blocks away from here." "You mean the real fancy one with all the Hispanics and White people." He laughed. "Yea."

"Okay thats nice..What do you do?" I asked resting my head on my hand.

We'd been talking for what it felt like hours, laughing, telling funny stories. Honestly I didn't expect him to have a since of humor. But it was something I knew he wasn't telling me.

Its like everytime I got close to him he would push me away. "What's up with you?" I asked. He shook his head. "What are you talking about?" He asked. I smacked my lips.

"Don't play dumb, every time I try to make a move you push me away." "I do not." "You do so." I said with a small smile plastered on my face. "What's up?" I asked getting closer to him.

He licked his lips as I sat on top of him. I bent down and kissed his lips. Jay grabbed my waist and moved down to my ass. I deepened the kiss as he gripped my behind making me moan.

I started slowly grinding on him ans just when I started taking his shirt off he stopped me. "Stop." I pulled away. "I'm sorry what?" I asked. "I said stop. Get off of me." I scoffed.

"Are serious-" "Rose..Get the hell off of me." He said sternly without looking at me. I did as he head. "Fine whatever...This is crazy." "What is? The fact that you can't listen?" He asked.

"No, the fact that you keep sending me mixed signals then get scared." "Ain't nobody scared." "Right." "Rose just go to your room." He said.

"Thats not my room, I'm a prisoner remember?" "Rose go upstairs now!" He yelled. I rolled my eyes. "Something is seriously wrong with you dude." I said. I shook my head and walked up the stairs.
