Hard Knocks

Chapter 23 " Lost One"

Nia

I woke up to my phone buzzing.

I grabbed it off the nightstand seeing Marley text me.

Bestie: I hope you get well girl, and don't forget to tell me about the date 😊.

Boss: I'm so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well, I hope you feel better soon darling.

I was sick?

I read through my messages seeing that someone hint:rock was pretending to be me sick.

I shook my head.

Since I was "sick" I guess I'll be staying in today.

After taking a shower I look through Rock drawer seeing one of his work shirt.

I needed to do laundry and didn't have anything to lounge in.

Surprisingly his shirt fitted me perfectly stopping at mid thigh.

Speaking of the devil I heard a door close.

I walked in the living room seeing he was just coming through the front door.

" morning beautiful" he said smiling.

" morning handsome"

He came right up to me kissing my lips.

I swear I could get use to that coming from him.

" I got breakfast , you hungry" he asked

" yes very, thank you"

" no problem"

He laid the food out on the counter while I got plates for us.

I did realize one thing, he needs to go shopping. He lacks silverware and other dishes. Half of things we use are my stuff.

Not that's it's a problem at all.

" so you had work today"

" Nawl but it was an emergency and I was there to the rescue" he said lifting his arm"

" you are so silly" I said laughing at him.

" but something came up while I was their" he said staring at me as he ate his eggs.

" what happen"

" I took the offer"

" oh my God really !" I said getting excited.

" yes I figure it was time for me to take big steps"

" that's great I'm really happy for you"

" thanks"

" sooo what are you going to do all day" I asked.

" spend it with you"

" I'm pretty sure since I called in sick" I said rasing my eyebrow.

" oh dang foreal, we gone have to get you some medicine" he said smirking.

" Rock don't play with me I know you sent those messages out"

" well it worked didn't it ?"

" yep unfortunately it did" I said smirking.

" well good hopefully you can give me a recap of what took place last night"

I watch as he removed himself from his seat walking to me picking me up.

" Rock I'm eating" I said as he carry me to the couch where he laid me down getting between my legs.
