Deception (ON HOLD)

Chapter $ 6

I woke up in the middle of the night to a rustling noise in my room. I thought nothing of it until I heard it again. I got up quickly and reached under my mattress for my desert eagle. I slowly got out of the bed and headed towards the bathroom to turn on the light. Once I turned the light on, I quickly pointed my gun to where the sound was coming from.

It was just a shopping bag moving from my window I had cracked open. Wait why was my window cracked when its freezing outside. I walked out of my room and quietly looked around the rest of my house.

I went into the living room and turned the light on. Nothing really different. I then went to the kitchen. It was spotless everything in place. I checked the closets. Nothing. I swear I was paranoid after that.

I made sure my front door was locked, plus the patio door. I went back to my room and shut and locked it. I don't know why I had the feeling someone had been in here while I was sleeping. I don't remember Ryan opening the window.

I reached for my phone and looked at the time. 3:32 a.m. I sighed. I'm glad its saturday, otherwise I would be a bitch if I had to work. I couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to call Ryan to see if he was awake. He answered on the third ring.

"Whats up ma?" he asked. I thought this nigga would be sleep.

"Hey Ry. Nothing just got a little scared. I thought someone was in my room."

"For real. You aigh tho right? Do you need me to come over there?"

I smiled when he said that. "You don't really have to. I'm ok now." I lied.

"You don't sound too sure. I'll be over there in a minute. I'll stay with you until morning."

"Ok I'll be waiting." I smiled.

"Aigh ma."

With that he hung up. I decided to light some candles to relax my mood. Not just because Ry was coming over, I just needed some calm energy in my room. I laid back and closed my eyes. A few minutes later and I heard my doorbell.

I got up to answer it. Once Ry was inside I walked back to my room with him following behind me. I sat down on my bed and watched him put a black duffle bag down by the foot of my bed.

"Whats that?" I asked him. He smirked.

"Oh thats just some protection."

I laughed at the word protection. I shook my head "Mmhmm but you know I have my own."

"Yea I remember." he smiled. He took off his beater and shorts and climbed in the bed.

I couldn't keep my eyes off his body, let alone his tatts. My eyes then wandered to his v-line. God he's blessed. I quickly took my eyes away. I heard him chuckle. I looked over at him. He had his hands behind his head, just plain cocky.

"Whats funny?" I eyed him.

"You ma. I saw you looking. You can touch 'em if you want." he smiled showing his perfect teeth. I blushed.

"I'm fine." I leaned back and laid beside him. He turned to look at me.

"Why you so far away?"

"Why you asking so many questions?" I said with an attitude.

I honestly didn't know why I just snapped on him like that but it just came out that way.

I sighed. "I'm sorry Ry. I don't know whats wrong with me right now."

He rolled to his side, scooting closer to me grabbing my waist to turn and face him. "I know whats wrong wit you." he smirked.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You need the D. Thats what."

We both busted out laughing.

"Mm.. I just think you want some of this." I said staring straight into his eyes. He licked his lips.

"And if I do? I mean its not like you gonna give it to me."

I laughed turning red. I did want to let him have it but I just didn't want it to be out of lust. He made me feel some type of way everytime I'm with him. But if it was really the case of me just wanting to fuck him and nothing else, then it would have been went down.

"I'm not gonna lie Ry. I want you in me but I don't feel the time is right, right now." I explained. He nodded.

"I know ma. But when you be walkin around damn near naked, you make me wanna do everything to you."

I smiled. "Well.. it was my fault earlier for teasing you but it was just playing around."

"I know ma."

I started tracing his tatts with my fingers, while he played in my hair. We just did this for awhile until he pulled me close to him. I laid my head on his chest, hearing his soft heart beat.

"Can I tell you something?" Ryan asked.

"Yea whats up?" I sat up looking at him. I wanted to see his face. He looked down and I could tell it was something he was afraid to say.

"I do some things that I'm not proud of and I feel I need to let it be known now since I have feelings for you." he explained.

No not now! I can't do this right now. Please tell me this isn't happening. I can't tell him what I do!

I started to get nervous. I felt hot, my heart was racing. I just wanted to die right now.

"Uh-mm ok. Soo what do you do?"

"I hussle."

"Ok. Whats so bad about that?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"I hussle women for their money."

I laughed in my head. What a fucking coincidence that me and this nigga end up catching feelings for each other.

"Its ok Ry. I don't see you any different. To be honest.. I- I do the same thing." I said lowly. I looked at him and he busted out laughing. I see he doesn't take me seriously.

"What you don't believe me huh?" I asked him.

"Hell no I don't. You don't look like you'll hurt a fly."

For some reason I got furious. This is exactly why I didn't want to tell him, let alone any fucking body for that matter. I got up off the bed and walked to the bathroom, slamming the door behind me. I sat down on the floor as the tears rolled down my face. I feel stupid as hell for telling him and he basically just played me, laughing in my face. I took offense to that. Thats why I just stay to myself.

I heard foot steps come towards the door.

*knock knock*

"Jhene baby please open the door."

He just called me baby?

"No Ry. You basically laughed in my face like I'm not good enough to do what you do. I'm sensitive about that shit. I should have never told you."

I heard him sigh. "Jhene please.." he said. I could hear the sadness in his voice. I slowly got up and opened the door. He walked in and held me. I couldn't help but let the tears flow.

"Jhene stop crying. I don't want to see you cry." he said wiping my tears away. I sniffled and wrapped my arms around him, embracing him.

"I'm sorry ok. I promise I didn't laugh purposely. You just don't look like the type thats all."

"I know." Was all I could manage to say.

I let him go and walked back to the bed. He followed behind me. I laid with my back towards him and he came close behind me. Wrapping his arm around my waist. He turned me to face him. By now the candles had burned out and it was pitch dark in my room. I could still see his face though.

"Good night Ry."

He smiled "Good night Jhene."

I felt his soft lips press against mine. I kissed him back forcefully and passionately, letting all my emotions take over.
