Deception (ON HOLD)

Chapter $ 4

4|

It was close to 2 a.m. and I just couldn't sleep. Maybe it was the anticipation of having the day off today. Its been awhile but I for the life of me can't sleep for shit! I tried watching tv, that didn't work. Tried finding a snack that would help. Didn't work. Tried taking a hot shower. Didn't work.

Ugh!

I was out of ideas.

I didn't have anything else to try when I remembered Ryan left me his number. I know I shouldn't give in and text him but it was either stay up all night or talk to someone and get tired doing it. I sighed. I really liked Ryan even though he was cocky. He was more than attractive and I thought, why not just talk to him and get to know him better.

To Ry

Hey are u up? 2:15 a.m.

From Ry

Yea who this? 2:16 a.m.

To Ry

Jhene... 2:16 a.m.

From Ry

Oh shit. U textin a nigga now lol

What u doin up ma 2:17 a.m.

I had told him why I couldn't sleep. He thought I would never use his number. He asked did I want company since I couldn't sleep.

My mind was saying No Jhene! that's like being a booty call. But I decided to let him come over anyway. Its not like I would do anything with him. Hopefully.

I heard a knock on my door not even five minutes later. I got up and walked to the front door, unlocking it and letting him inside. He came in and sat down on the couch. For it to be cold outside he only had on some basketball shorts and a beater. His tatted body was on full display through that white shirt.

Oh my god! Kill me now. He is too sexy lawd have mercy.

"Jhene. Jhene. Jhene!" Ryan yelled. I snapped out of my daydream.

"What?" I asked.

"You good? You were staring into space."

I laughed "Mmhmm. I'm fine." I went and sat next to him.

"So whats up ma? What you wanna do."

"Uh.. I don't know. But I do wanna get to know you better. We haven't really got to talk like that. You should be glad I'm interested in someone like you."

He chuckled "Someone like me? What that suppose to mean?" he asked looking at me.

"Don't act like you don't know. Player is written all over you, along with cocky." I said.

"Mmhmm is that right?" he smirked. I rolled my eyes. I got up to go get my covers.

"Where you going?" he asked.

"I'll be right back." I yelled.

I was picking my comforter up when I turned around and bumped into something hard.

"Oww what the fuck!" I yelled annoyed. It was Ryan I bumped into. He was just standing there smiling.

"I'm sorry ma."

"Why you back here. Didn't I say I was coming back." I asked him irritated. He grabbed my waist.

"Chill ma. I just wanted to get comfortable. You mind if we chill in here?" he asked, looking around my room.
