Shine For Me (Official Chreets Series)

Chapter 9

“They don’t understand our love…”

(Sweets POV)

When I woke up I was still in B’s arms and he looked so peaceful sleeping. I looked at the clock: 7:30 am and I knew I better get moving so that I could be ready when Tina came to take me home. The last thing I needed was to draw anymore attention to myself after this morning. Great now Mama J probably thinks I’m crazy as hell and wants me far away from her son and just wait til Tina finds out. Just great. I just gave her more reasons not to like me!

Way to go Helena...

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair then I decided to throw on some jeans and simple shirt I had in my bag also a hat. When I went back in the room B was sitting up watching ESPN and I felt akward. So much had happened last night and now he was leaving. After everything I’m actually glad we didn’t have sex on top of it because now everything felt weird. Once he came back from taking a shower I looked over at him and I saw a red mark on his jaw.

I felt so bad...

“Morning Beautiful.” He said with the most caring expression on his face.

“Morning.” I said with a shy smile. He always made me blush when he said that.

“You ok?” He asked concerned.

“Yea B, I’m fine thank you…and I’m sorr-"

“Don’t even worry about it…It's nothin…You know I got you.” He interrupted me walking over to one of his bags.

“You got me?” I asked.

“I got you…Always.” He said like we always did when we left each other or got off the phone. I guess it was our own way of saying those 3 words without saying them.

He pulled out some grey sweats, white tee, hat and grey dunks making giggle as he put them on then walked out the room going to the bathroom. The tee came down to his knees and look 3 sizes too big!

“What?” He finally asked after returning looking at me now brushing his hair.

“I don’t know why you have to wear clothes that are so big.” I said happy to change the subject.

“That’s just my style Shorty…Don’t hate.” He said smiling with his still sleepy face.

“Ok.” I said laughing.

“So you gotta be at Ciara’s rehearsal at 10 huh?” He asked pulling his bags over to the door and opening it.

“Yea…We'll be working on a new “Oh” routine for two week then it’s off to some promo performances for 3 weeks but I'm waiting on that to be confirmed.” I said excitedly.

“That’s so cool man…I’m happy for you…I know you gonna kill the routine yo.” He said turning off the TV.

“And you know this!” I said. “But thanks for always practicing with me. You know you got skills too…You keep me on my toes.”

Just then we heard footsteps and Tina walked in so I wiped the smile off my face and grabbed my bag.

“Hey you guys are up!” She said all bubbly.

She must've got her some last night. Gag! I thought as Chris smirked at me like he read my mind.

“Ok well we gonna pull out of here in an hour so I can drop you and your Mom off at the airport Chris but Helena we are gonna drop you off first.”

I just nodded my head ok. Chris was obviously still irritated with her because he just rolled his eyes then nodded.

“Well ok I will leave you two alone…Oh don’t forget to bring your bags to the top of the stairs Chris.” She said as she walked out of the room.
