Vanity

The two of us ended up going back to his place where we caught up with Chastity and of course I got my evening of fun with Chaniyah as she ran all over the house like a wild child but ended up plopping asleep right on the living room floor. Overall it was such a loving environment to be in, I had the love from Chaniyah, Chastity and of course CJ all around. With all of them here at his place, I'd much rather stay the night here than alone in my apartment again and naturally CJ opened his home for me to stay the night. Giving me the option of sleeping on the couch, with Chastity or with him... I ultimately chose with him since he has the bigger softer bed.

I was sitting on the bed in one of his soft cotton solid black shirts he was letting me use for the night. I liked wearing his things because of the scent he left on his clothes, it was a very faint smell of his cologne but mixed with his own smell and together it was just a treat for my senses. Breaking out of my moment of inhaling the smells of his shirt, he came into the room and closed the door behind him. Hearing the tick of the lock, getting me to raise a brow out of suspicion and he caught that change in my expression.

"I don't want Chas wanderin' in here. She might try to suffocate me with a pillow or shove a cork down my throat." He said nonchalantly as he crawled onto the bed right next to me and I just stared blankly for a moment. "And she not invited to watch movies with us."

"You're so childish when it comes to her and she's the same back with you. I swear you two are more like siblings than best friends." I said with a slight shake of my head along with a subtle laugh. Since the heater was pretty high- because Chas was complaining it was too cold in the house- I was actually starting to feel myself sweat at the nape of my neck and began to fan myself with the collar of the shirt. I was envious of him as I watched him take off his shirt and now he looked all the more comfortable in just his grey sweats and black socks.

"She the childish one that starts all our problems." He said and that was a big fat lie, he knew it was too. "You're hot, huh? I see you fanning yourself and you're a little flushed in the face." He mentioned with his eyes studying my face.

"It is warm and we're right under the heater so a little fanning is needed." He grabbed the remote off the nightstand on his side and began to search through Netflix for something good to watch. I trust him with his movie choices since he hasn't let me down so far.

"Take off the shirt." A shrug of his shoulders. "It's just you and I and the doors' locked so no one gonna walk in on you." He continued to say and at first I was reluctant because this shirt was really soft but the heat was not helping so I started with just pulling my arms through the sleeves and then leaving the shirt looped around my neck so I was still covered for the most part but I didn't feel any cooler than before.

"This didn't help. Can I close the vent?"

"Can you reach it?" I looked up and shook my head. "I'll give you a boost and you can close it 'cause I can't even reach it."

"Then why ask-"

"Wanted to see your answer. Come on." He shifted to standing on his knees and coaxed me up onto his shoulders. Using the wall behind the headboard as something to steady myself, he stood up and I was able to easily turn the dial thing and seal it. It was even hotter up here and I gave two taps on his head to let him know to go back down.

Sliding one leg off of him, I grabbed onto his shoulder and he instantly winced, nearly knocking me off onto the bed and that startled me so I quickly jumped off.
