New Native Land (The Next Step) (Book II)

Chapter 26 (Vice Versa)

I woke up because I heard the news on. I was in Ahm's hold, one I was shocked that he was still here and two I was shocked he was holding me like this? I opened up my eyes slowly, shifting just a little and looked up. I saw Ahm staring down at me with an eyebrow raised, "Since I stayed this time what do I get?" He asked me playfully. I mugged him and he grinned at me.

"It's too early to deal with you." I turned my head and laid back on his chest. I laid my head back down and closed my eyes. He chuckled a little to himself and he kept watching the news, "You shouldn't be rewarded for doing what you're supposed to do." I chimed in while yawning, "Oh, I'm supposed to be here when you wake up?" He acted like this is something new to him.

Ahm continued to tease me, "I didn't know I was supposed to entertain you bright and early in the morning." I rolled my eyes, "Aren't you a busy person or something? Go handle that." I told him and he laughed, "I am a very busy person, but I decided to stay here, and wait for you. That's why I thought I'd be getting something outta this." I scoffed at his words.

He laughed again, "Alright, get up." He took my bluff. I looked back up at him and glared, "So quick to leave me." He smirked, "I could say the same about you ma." He winked at me and I moved out the way so he could get up.

He went to his drawer and got a shirt. "I guess I left the AC on too cold last night, you were shakin, a lot. It made you get all up on me. I should make it colder tonight huh?" He teased me. I ignored him and stretched out on the bed then went back to fettle position with the blankets all wrapped up around me and I closed my eyes.

Shortly after Ahm came out and he threw a towel at me. I popped up and sent an evil glare towards him and he smiled at me. "I love fuckin' with you." I threw the towel back at him. I got up running towards him and tried to attack him but he stopped my hands simply picking me up and put me over his shoulder, ugh he is so sexy.

"What you thought you were doing?" He asked me and I kept hitting his back, "Let me go." I demanded and he slapped my ass. "Baby!" I shouted and I could tell that touched him. "Oh, I'm baby now?" He asked and I smacked my lips, and plead "Let me go!" He tsk'd, "Why?" I whined.

He walked me to the bathroom and said, "Watch yo head." I did and then he took me off his shoulder sitting me on the counter. He parted my legs so he could stand between them, and pulled me closer to him. He lifted my chin and began kissing me. I pulled away and stared at him like he was crazy and he did the same, "I haven't brushed my teeth." I told him. Ahm just made a weird face at me, ignoring what I just said, he pulled me by my hips even closer to him, leaning in to kiss me again.

He pulled away and said, "The fuck that mean to me. You my woman, I don't care." He kissed me again and I pulled away and pouted, "It makes me uncomfortable." He shook his head at me, "Trying to be intimate with you." I continued pouting, and his eyes softened, "Go." I smiled and hopped down and I went and got my tooth brush and I brushed my teeth. I grabbed a towel and washed my face and Ahm watched the whole thing intently. Kind of in disbelief too.

When I finished Ahm quickly grabbed me, turned me around, put me back up on the counter, and he kissed me passionately. His hands went to my hips, he pulled me closer to him and he squeezed me. That sent all kinds of feelings throughout my body. I pulled away from him and he looked up at me. He rubbed his thumb against my lips and his whole face was one full of lust.

He pulled me close to him one more, then he kissed my neck and he sucked on it again, I had to refrain from gasping again. I grabbed his forearms and I squeezed, he pulled away, but it seemed like the hardest thing for him to do at the moment, "I need to be careful with you. I'm going to lose my mind." His whole face went back to dull and his eyes stopped twinkling. Like he had to suppress his emotions in a time like this. If he was trying to be intimate, then he should do just that. It made me sad because he could quickly flip his personality after a moment like this, it was like he didn't care.

I dropped my hands from his arms and I pushed him away from me. Ahm watched me as I jumped down, he grabbed me, picked me back up and put me back on the counter. "Where you going?" He asked, staring me in my eyes, but I couldn't tell what he was thinking. I pushed him again and tried to hop off the counter, but he stopped me and he shook his head at me. "Talk to me." He pressed in a softer tone, I sighed, "You're unpredictable." His face didn't change, he wasn't shocked by my words.

"I thought women liked that shit." He said confused. "Yeah, if it's like romantic. I'm talking about your attitude." I said to him and he lifted his eyebrow just a bit, "You know how I am. I ain't soft but I try for you. I can't help how I get, I see myself giving too much and I gotta hold back." I shook my head and I pushed him out the way. I climbed down and avoided his hands trying to pull me back as I walked away I complained, "That's not how it works."

I went to my bag and pulled out some clothes to change into. I went back to the restroom and I pushed him out to change. When I walked out he was putting on a watch and had changed his clothes as well. He was as emotionless as always. I went to my bag pulled out a stick of gum and started chewing it.

"When can I leave this hell hole?" I asked him and he made a face and smirked, "This a hell hole now?" I rolled my eyes, "Since it's a hell hole why don't you stay another day." He threatened and I glared at him, "You can't keep me locked up in here." Ahm made an oh really face and challenged, "Wanna try me?" I kept glaring at him, "That's not cute, you don't keep people prisoner." He let out a sarcastic laugh, "Ain't nobody keeping yo ass prisoner. You can leave when you want to." I mugged him and walked out the room

I went downstairs and Ahm followed close behind, he said, "Better fix that face." I let out an angry exhale as I reached the bottom of the stairs. I heard conversations being had, "Y'all get up too early." I complained as I reached the other dwellers in this house.

"There's money to be made." Scrap was the first to speak, I shook my head, "What the fuck is that on your neck?" Shad asked me shocked and I looked confused. "What?" I was confused, Ahm walked up to me and smirked. Smokey dabbed up Ahm but I was still confused. "A mosquito bite perhaps?" Smokey teased me, "Maybe an Ahm bite." Scrap joined in with the jokes.

I ran back upstairs to look at a mirror and went to see what they were talking about. I turned my neck and saw two bruise marks on my damn neck. "AHMED!" I yelled, all I heard was laughter.

I walked back downstairs ready to murder, "What did you do last night?" Scrap asked and I simply said, "We had sex." Which I knew Ahm didn't want me to do. He rolled his eyes and shook his head as the guys tried to dab him up, "We ain't do shit. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you niggas." He told them and they laughed.

"I was going to say, it was a little quiet." Shad suggested and I rolled my eyes.

Ahmed boasted, "Yeah, if I hit, you'd know." I tried to run up on him but Scrap grabbed me and held be back, and everyone started laughing again. "She knows what'll happen if she tries it." I gave him my death glare, one I save for just the right occasion. Ahm took it in but he smirked, "Gonna have to do something scarier than that to make me shake." He declared arrogantly and I smacked my lips at him.
