Under His Control

Chapter 7

I looked at Ash. He is really not being loyal to his friend. It should matter how I look at him. Im with him.

"Ash I would never get with you." I said and he sucked his teeth. Sarah got up and walked to the kitchen.

"Why?" I couldn't think of a good reason on the spot. "See let me take you out and imma show you a good time." he said and sat down next to me.

"Please Ash I don't want you."

"Why you want that nigga Chris for. Im the nigga for you." he said and I stood up.

"Please leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you." I said. I walked in the kitchen to talk to Sarah. "Listen Im gonna go. I have to fix Chris food anyway." I lied just to leave. She nodded and I walked out the house.

"Nicole!" I heard Ash. He caught up to me and looked at me. "Nicole why won't you leave that nigga?"

"Why would I? He is everything to me." he looked at me. He leaned in and kissed me. He pulled me close and kissed me slowly.

I pushed him back and he looked at me. "Come on Nicole. Don't doubt your self. You like me." I looked at him.

"I don't even know you." I said and he held my hand.

"Get to know me." he said. I shook my head.

"Im sorry but I don't feel that way about you." I said and hurried back down to the house.

I walked in and locked the door. I stood there and looked at my self in the hallway mirror.

I burst into tears.

Why can't thinks be normal with me? Me and Chris could have a normal life together. We could get married and have kids.

But no. He thinks we are just having sex and nothing else. Then this guy I barely know kissed me and I don't even like him. Then to know that he would betray his best friend is like a stab in the back.

I walked into the room and laid down. I tried to go to sleep but the thought of Ash having his lips on mine made my stomach turn.

My heart hurt and my head. I looked at the time and it was only 11. I went to bathroom and cleaned up. Then I went into the kitchen. I started to cook.

I made some chicken fried rice. I was putting some on my plate when I heard the door. I looked and Chris came in the kitchen.

"Wassup Shawty." he said. I waved. He looked at me. "What's wrong?" I shook my head.

"Im just a little tired that's all." I said. He nodded and sat down. I looked at him as I placed a plate in front of him. 

He smiled and started to eat. "Damn baby this shit good." he said. I smiled at him calling me baby.

"Thank you." I said. He looked at me.

"You welcome." he said and I looked down. "Don't look down. I wanna see you beautiful face." he said. I blushed and looked up at him.

He got up and walked over to me. He rubbed my face. "You so fucking beautiful." he said. I looked at him and he leaned in and kissed me passionately.

I kissed back and he held my waist. He pulled away and looked at me. "When you tryna go on that date?" he said and I shrugged. "You think your period would be off?"

"Well its been on for a week so maybe tomorrow." I said.

"Imma take you Friday then." I nodded and he went and sat back down.

We ate and talked till I feel a sleep at the table.

I woke up in Chris' arms. I was looking right in his face. I traced his jaw line with my index finger.
"Stop staring." he said and I giggled. He finally opened his eyes and looked at me. "Good morning." he said and kissed my lips.

"Good morning." I said and sat up. I looked at his phone and seen it was 10. "Wow we slept till 10." I said. He looked at the time.

"Shit if felt like 5 mins." I giggled at him and got up. I walked to the bathroom and got the shower running.

I got some clothes for us and walked back in the bathroom. Chris came in and stripped and got in the shower with me.

I washed my self then I washed him. Then we got out.

I put on a black sports bra and tank top then my black boxers and gym shorts.

Chris put his black tank top and plaid boxers and white gym shorts and black socks.

We walked in the kitchen and I started breakfast. He sat at the counter on his phone.

"Aye bae you know how you wanted that phone?" I nodded and smiled at him calling me bae.
"Yea why?" i asked. He got up and went to the back. Then he came back with a bag. He sat it down on the counter. Then he pulled out an IPhone 6. He slid it over to me.

"I already programmed my number and Sarah number." he said and I nodded.

"Thank you." I said. He nodded and smiled.

"Anything for you baby." he said I blushed and finished breakfast.

We sat and ate before he had to leave for work. I sat in the living room getting use to my phone.

Then it rang. I seen it was Sarah wanting to FaceTime. I answered and she smiled.

"I see my baby mobile." she said and I chuckled.

"Yea my baby gave it to me this morning." she looked at me.

"Oh he is baby now." she said. I smiled and nodded.

"Yea but it feels like he been baby. I was just to scare to say it." I said honestly.

"Well why do you feel so comfortable now?" I bit my lip.

"He just been acting different lately and I really love that he is changing."

"Ooouuu do I hear wedding bells soon?" she asked with a smirk. I looked down.

"I don't know but I think that is far away from now." I said and she nodded.

"Well you already know imma be the maid of honor." she said. I nodded.

"Most definitely." I said and she cheered. I laughed at her.

"So you wanna go out today?" I shrugged.

"Yea we can go to the beach or something."

"I guess we can go." I said. She nodded. "Go get ready and come pick me up." she nodded again and hung up.

I walked to the bedroom and got my bathing suit and put it on. Then I went and put on some gym shorts and a loose shirt.

I heard a honk and walked outside. I looked and seen it was Sarah. I hurried and grabbed my stuff and walked outside. I locked up the house then I walked to the car.

I got in the front and she drove off.

"I invited a couple of more girls they said they were gonna meet us there." I nodded.

It took us a good hour before we got there. We got out and walked over and I seen the two girls.

"Wassup y'all this is Nicole my bestie/r.o.d./ my bitch." she said acting all ghetto and I laughed at her. "Nicole this is Kim and Goldie." I looked her.

"Why they call you Goldie?" I asked and she smiled and I seen a gold tooth.

"Wow that is cute." I said and she nodded. "So we gonna just stand here or enjoy the beach." they laughed and we all went and sat down.
