Out of the Shadows

Chapter 8

I walk back towards the room I was in earlier. I sit on the bed and realize I’m mad at Niq and Roc’s thirsty asses for having us out here like this. I don’t even have anything to sleep in. I could free ball, but I’ll save that for when I get home in my own shit. I get up and look around the room. This guest room actually looks like it belongs to someone. There was cologne on the dresser and some jewelry, nice shit too. I picked up one of the necklaces and put it on. I was checking myself out in the mirror, I could definitely rock this. This shit was hot, just the right amount of shine I’m blinding myself. I go in the bathroom and grab one of the face towels off the counter and wash my face. On my way out of the bathroom, I hear someone come into the room. I pause and peak out the door to see who it is. I see Jazz taking off his shirt walking towards the mirror. He hasn’t looked up to see me standing here watching him. And since he’s not paying attention to me, that gives me a minute to check him out.  He’s about 6’3, chocolate skin that looks like it’s been dipped in Godiva. Dreads that hung passed his shoulders. His lips are big and juicy, suckable. Baby’s body on point, he definitely works out. And something I noticed earlier is when he gets upset he has an accent. Jamacian or maybe Trinidadian. I was so wrapped up in my visual molestation of him, I didn’t see him checking me out.
“See something you like?” He said smirking looking at me thru the mirror.
“I ain’t seen the whole package yet, so I can’t answer that.” I say smirking right back at him.
“I feel so violated.” He said scrunching his face up trying to hold his smile in.
“Boy you wish.” I say laughing at him. He knows he wants to know what I would do to his ass.
“You right, I do. But I can wait for you to decide you ready.” He said straight faced.
“How you know if I’m ever going to be ready?” I asked because I wanted to know what his answer was going to be if I decided I didn’t want to sleep with him. Even though I already knew he was going to get it. I said his name on purpose. Why you ask? If I was going to fuck with this nigga I needed to know our business was our business, and some shit would stay between us. He turns around and looks at me, he then walked up to me and grabbed my waist firmly. Not enough to hurt me but just enough for it to turn me on. I like this side of Jazz, rough.
“You see how you respond to me, just from my touch.” He said as he squeezed my waist with his big hands. I closed my eyes and exhaled.
“Rather you want to admit it or not, you feeling me just as much as I’m feeling you. And I know you’re gonna fight me every step of the way. But you know what, I like the fact that you can keep your composure even if it’s at my expense. That means that you not out here fucking just anybody. If you not fucking all this than the average nigga ain’t got a chance.” He answered me serious as hell. I just looked at this nigga, when I say he wasn’t cracking a smile not even a smirk. He was dead ass. And I was turned on even more, if that’s possible. He had so much confidence it was insane. But what do you expect, this is one of Roc’s best friends.  Me and my people are in trouble. I laugh to myself, and just stared at this man in front of me.
“And if for some reason, you decide you don’t want to fuck with me, I’m a big boy Jazzy. We can just be friends, we’re family now. I win either way, wife or family. We’re connected because of business or them. We will probably be the only ones who don’t hook up, if that’s what you decide. My niggas on a mission.” He says smiling.
“What’s up with that anyway?” I ask him, cocking my head to the side.
“Well I don’t know if you know this but Don has been watching y’all for Roc for some time now.” He says looking at me with his eyebrows up like he was asking me a question. I simply nod because I know both Roc and Quan do this.
“He said he always knew we would go for y’all, but he said he had to make sure we were ready. Some bullshit if you ask me.” He whispers the last part. I simply laugh at that, looking at him so he could continue.
“But I think him deciding he was ready for something serious with Niq helped too. And Don wanting Mina helped also, he is tired of watching her from a distance. You know he threatened us about her before we even met y’all.” He laughed.
“He knew we all had to meet at some point. I mean he’s been working with y’all for years and we never heard of y’all. Well we knew there was a Niq, but not about the three of you. He kept that shit a secret until the night we all met, like a couple hours before we met. We tell each other everything, so we knew he was serious about that shit. He really considers y’all his people, so we talked shit for a little while but we understood. I mean I’ve only known y’all for a couple of hours and I feel protective of each and every one of you already. And I know them niggas feel the same way.” He tells me. I look at him and nod my head. Then I grab his hand pulling him towards the door.
“Come on, they probably think I’m in here taking advantage of you.” I wink looking back at him. We walk into the media room to everybody staring at us.
“Where the fuck y’all been?” Jade asked.
“Minding our business.” I say sticking my tongue out at her.
“Naw, I’m cool. I don’t know what you been doing with that thing.” She says giving me the stank face.
“And that was the longest bathroom break I ever seen. Nice ice too by the way. But I’m gonna sit here and sip this tea.” Diamond says nonchalantly.
“Fuck y’all, I didn’t do shit. Me and Jig was talking. And I picked my room for the night. That’s where I got this from.” I said waiting to see what he was going to say about me calling him Jig. But then something dawned on me, that was his room we were in. he changed his clothes while I was checking him out. How did I miss that? Cause you were perving Jazzy, I say smacking myself upside the head. Well he’s going to have to find somewhere else to sleep, but I’ll save that bit of news for later.
“Ok, you got that. But we didn’t do shit, but what we do. Her talking shit and me being pissed off.” He said looking at me upside my head. My nigga, I give him a wink. I look around and see Mina and Don getting their shit together to leave.
