Rose🌷

I poured myself a cup of coffee ignoring the glare Jay was giving me. "How'd you sleep Ms. Rose?" Yolanda asked me. "Fine thank you very much." I said.

"Yolanda can you tell Rose that I want to talk to her later?" Jay asked. I scoffed. Yolanda sighed. "Ms. Rose-" "Well you can tell him that I dont wanna talk to his boujee, scary ass." I said.

I heard him scoff. "Well you can tell Rose that I wasn't in the mood and she can get over it." He said. I turnt around and faced him. "Well you can tell Jay-" "Alright! That's enough." Yolanda said cutting me off.

We were silent. "Whatever it is between y'all please fix it cause I hate being in the middle of drama." She said. We both glared at each other. Yolanda grabbed her plate of food and walked off.

"So you gonn' keep starring or actually say something for once?" I asked. "If you weren't so butt hurt-" "I'm not butt hurt." I said. He laughed. "Right." I rolled my eyes. "You always think something's funny."

"Your funny." He said. I flipped him off. "Owe that hurt." He said. I  grabbed my coffee and took a sip. "So what you wanna talk about? I literally have all the time in the world since I can't go anywhere." I said.

Jay smiled. "Remember when you said you loved the draw?" He asked. I nodded. "Follow me." He said. I raised a brow. He grabbed my hand and led me upstairs.

I didnt even know where we were going this mansion was huge. I saw a room at the end of the hallway. "What room is that?" I asked. "Don't worry about it, it isn't important." He said like I was just gonna drop it.

We walked inside a room with paintings everywhere. "Oh my God." I said. Jay smiled. "Look at all these different colors." I said. "And the brushes." I said.

"You like it?" Jay asked. "Hell yes! I love it." Jay licked his lips. "Then its yours. This whole room." I frowned. "Really?" I asked. Jay nodded. "Yea." I smiled and pulled him into a hug.

"Thank you." I said. "No one has ever did anything like this for me." I said. He slowly hugged me back. "No problem." I pulled away. "Come on, I wanna draw you." I said grabbing his hands.

"Oh no-" "Come on! It'll be fun and I might let you draw me while I'm naked." I said. Jay raised a brow. "Really?" I laughed. "You gotta let me draw you first." I said. "Right Right. Pinky promise?" I laughed again.

This man was a trip. "Pinky promise." I locked our pinky's together sealing the deal. "Cool." he smirked. I playfully rolled my eyes.

"So how old are you?" I asked picking my paints out. "23...You?" He asked. "21." I said. "You young." He said. I smiled. "Nah you just old." "I'm only two years older than you." He said.

"My point exactly." I said. Jay smacked his lips and I smiled. "Just sit on that couch, its gonna be a cartoon." I told him. He nodded his head and got comfortable.

"There all done." I said. Jay stood up and took a good look at the cartoon I drew. "That's amazing." He said. I smiled. "You really think so?" He nodded. "Yea its beautiful." I smiled.

"Thank you." "As soon as it dry up you wanna hang it up in the house?" He asked. I nodded. "Yea in the living room." I said. "Whatever you want." He said.

I looked back at the painting feeling his eyes on me. I could tell he wanted to say or do something but was too scared. I felt his arm wrap around my waist causing me to look up at me.

He leaned in to kiss me and I met him the rest of the way. I wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. He picked me up and laid me on the couch getting in between my legs.

It wasn't no sex, just kissing. But to be honest that's all I wanted.
