Because Of You

Chapter 6

Weeks later

Torian

It's been some weeks now since the incident that happened at my moms and  I'm more than sure she knew that Kai and I weren't coming back now. She hasn't contacted me since the last time  she texted me that bullshit, which by the way she never fell through with. I knew she would fall empty on that threat that's exactly why I didn't stress it.

Things have actually been looking up for my sister and I.

When Sa picked me up from Josh's that day, we went apartment hunting and some of the property managers we visited, lived on sight and they didn't have a problem giving me a walk through of a couple of them. I saw some pretty nice ones and for a decent price. When I got back to Sa's place that night, I let Kai pick out the one she liked the best because well, she would be living there too and besides that, she was butt hurt about us not taking her with us so I let her have her way just to shut her up. That week, I turned in our applications and a couple of days later the manager called us back to let us know we were accepted immediately.

It was the best feeling in the world knowing that my sister and I were both going to be out on our own, in our own crib. For once I was feeling happy about how my life was going and it was all because of me. I worked hard to get to  where I am now and I was damn sure proud of myself.

I wasn't going to let my mom or anything else mess this up for me or my sister.

These past couple of weeks, Josh and I have been kickin' it a lot more than usual, after the day he picked me up from work, it's like we just fell closer to each other. Soon after it became an everyday thing and I grew accustomed to it. I wouldn't call us a couple but it was sure starting to feel like we were one. We talk 24/7, he calls and text me everyday,  Whenever I'm not at work, we're together, and whenever we are together this nigga can never keep his hands or lips to himself. If I'm being honest, I'll admit that I like the attention he gives me even if we're not together. Shit, if I'm being all the way honest, that man turns me on in more ways than just one and we haven't even had sex. It's just something in the way he carries himself that I can't deny and I can't lie...

I want him..

It's crazy because weeks ago, I was just telling myself how I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with anyone but now that everything is falling into place for me I was actually considering that idea.

Today I had the day off so I was taking that time to tidy up the apartment. Kai was still in school so I had the place all to myself. There wasn't really shit to do and I was starting to realize how boring my life really was. When I was done cleaning up I fell on the couch with a sigh.

A groan left my mouth once my stomach started growling, since we've only been in the apartment a couple days I haven't really had the time to go grocery shopping yet. Me and my sister have been basically eating fast food for the last couple of weeks and as much as I loved greasy foods, it's been a while since I've actually had a home cooked meal. I dialed Sa's number and waited for her to answer. After a couple minutes of ringing, I hung up. She wasn't answering and I wasn't about to bother her, obviously she was busy.

I didn't want to deal with Rell's sensitive ass and Dallas had a shift today so there was only one other person I could call.

I unlocked my phone, and scrolled through the contacts until I found his. Dialing the number I sat back and waited for him to answer.

"I was just thinking about you shorty, wassup?"

I couldn't stop the smile forming on my face.

"Joshyyyyy..." I dragged calling him by the nickname I gave him.
