Love & Lies

Understanding

"Because that's the way my parents had me" I answered twisting my face up at him.

"I see you got jokes." he laughed.

I giggled, "I wanted to ask you something." I said not making eye contact.

"Sure ma, ask away."

"What's your real name?"

He didn't beat around the bush, he answered without any hesitation.

"Rico" he replied.

"Cute name." I smiled, "your not gonna ask me mines?" I asked

"Why? Your name famous Miss Tayja. Everybody be talking about you."

I turned my head to him real quick, "what you mean talking about me?" I asked

"Like how fine you are, only good things ma."

We continued to talk and get to know each other. I learned that his grandma passed away a few months ago, his mama gave him up for adoption and his dad was locked up. He had a bad life just like me, but he had perks to his life while I was always down and out.

Rico POV

Tayja was fine as fuck, thick in all the right places and she had the face to match, long hair to the middle of her back. She was the prettiest shade of brown, her mama and daddy truly made a princess. I wouldn't change anything about her if that was my girl.

We talked the whole time she was here, we even talked so much until she fell asleep. Her phone rung, but I didn't wanna wake her up. It was 7:47 so I got up and went to go take shower and follow after lil mama.

I stepped out of the shower 15 minutes later. I put on some basketball shorts and a tank top, since I wasn't alone I didn't wanna make Tayja uncomfortable with no shirt and boxers. I got in the bed and followed in lil mama footsteps and went to sleep. *

Tayja woke me up, it was 12:39 and she was crying her eyes out.

"What's wrong?" I asked trying to calm her down.

"I need to go home now, my mama and daddy going to kill me." she said still crying.

"Tayja its late, its 12:42 I'll take you home first thing in the morning."

"Rico please, you don't understand.I need to go now." she started crying even more.

"Well help me understand."

She started to tell me everything from how her mama beat on her till how her father rapes her. Her father doesn't know that her mom beat her and her mother doesn't know that her father rapes her.

I calmed her down, "Don't be scared." I said rubbing her back.

She cried a little more, and then finally laid down to go back to sleep. She cuddled upto me and I didn't push her away. I wanted to bethere for her and I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. I had to help her. She didnt deserve this bullshit her parents put her through!
