Anything You Can Do (Book one)

Finally!!

Cocaine

I gasp and quickly remove myself from Benji’s hug. I cannot believe he’s here! I start my way back up the stairs, but Benji pulls me back.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” he asks.

“Nothing.” I quickly wipe the tears that are falling down my face. “I just…. have to go. I can’t be here anymore.” I rip my hand from his grasp and run up the rest of the stairs.

Getting to Benji’s room, I assemble my things. Turning around to walk out the room, I bump into him.

“Baby, we talked about this. Stop running away from me. Now, what’s going on?”

“I-I-I can’t tell you!” I say, the tears flowing freely down my face.

“Yes you can. Listen, you told me that you’re here for me. Now I’m telling you that I’m here for you.” I walk away from him and sit cross-legged on his bed. Benji comes over and sits across from me, placing me in between his legs.

Rubbing my back and placing his forehead on mine, he says “I’m not asking again, Koka Yeena. What’s wrong?”

“You’re gonna hate me!” I sob into his shoulder.

“That’s impossible.”

“Downstairs… Tha-tha-that’s Andre!”

Confused, Benji looks at me. “Yeah. You know him?”

“He… He raped me!”

“EXCUSE ME?!” He yells. I jump off of the bed and huddle into the corner, trying to protect myself.

“I’m sorry. Ple-Please don’t hit me!”

“Huh? I would never, EVER hurt you. Listen to me.” Benji stoops to my level on the ground. He lifts my head up by my chin.

“Look at me, Koka. I am here to protect you. That sorry ass nigga will NEVER get to you and I put that on my life! You’re mine and…”

“Uhh, since when was I yours?” I smirked.

He chuckled and responded. “Wait here.” He goes to his dresser and picks something up. “Koka Yeena Kiyomi Baptiste,” he says, walking back to where I was still huddled. “I promise to keep you safe. I promise to protect you. I promise to never hurt you. I promise to give you my all. I promise to be your best friend, your man, your playtoy (he smirks), your beginning, your end, and your hubby. Will you be mine?”

*Sniff, sniff* “Of course I’ll be yours!”

“Pheww! It took me a month to gather up the courage to ask you that!”

I laugh at him, “You big baby!”

Smiling, he slips his black diamond encrusted “23” chain. It’s his favorite chain. I’m cheesing so hard I almost miss him saying “One day, I’ll be replacing this with a promise ring. Take good care of it, just like my heart, ard?”

“Yes sir.”
