The Come Up

Chapter Fifteen

Arika's POV

I don't know where things are heading with me and J. For two weeks now, I've been sleeping in the guest room. And J's rarely home. I know he confronted Kirko about the kiss, because I heard him on the phone with him, and he quickly left out when he saw me listening. I rolled out of bed, and stretched, with a yawn. I walked down to the kitchen, and saw J sitting at the island. I grabbed my Fig Bars from the cabinet and poured myself a glass of milk. I could feel J staring at me, so I left from the kitchen.

"Could of said good morning" I heard him mumble as I walked out.

"What you say?" I asked backing up into the kitchen.

"If you can "what you say" me then I know you heard, with the fuck I said." he said getting up from the island and placing his dishes in the sink.

"What exactly is the problem Jermaine? Please tell me, the fuc..." I was cut off by J walking up to me and smashing his lips against mine.

He picked me up and sat me on the island. He kissed down my neck and back up to my lips. He picked me back up and moved to the table. He laid me down on the table, and y'all know what happened.

"I'm sorry baby" Jermaine said, looking at me as I out my clothes back on.

"J, how many times have you cheated on me since, we've been together?" I asked picking my bra up from the floor.

"Baby it doesn't matter, just know that I'm dropping them hoe's for you." he said walking out the kitchen.

I sighed and walked out of the kitchen and upstairs. I went into the bathroom in the guest room I've been sleeping in and took me a hot shower. After, showering and handling my hygiene I went downstairs to the living room. I heard keys jiggling and furrowed my brows.

" J you leaving?" I yelled.

" Yeah, I'm going to the studio, but I'll be back later" he said leaving out the door.

I bit my bottom lip and sighed. I guess I could call Jasmin and Cece back. I ran upstairs and unplugged my phone from the charger. I unlocked my phone and went to contacts and clicked on Cece's. The phone started ringing and she answered on the third ring.

"I want to know what happened, when you hung up the phone!" she yelled down the phone.

"Okay, but let me call Jas first." I said clicking over.

"I wanna know and I wanna know right now!" Jas yelled into the phone.

"Aha I'm merging calls Cece is on the other line." I said hitting the merge button.

"Cece you there?" I asked.

"I'm here, is Jasmin on" she asked.

"Present" Jas spoke.

"Alright, we're in this call, because you guys wanted to know what happened two weeks ago. We got into an argument, I've been sleeping in the guest room, and this morning, we had sex on the table." I told them laughing.

"Y'all trifling, I'm not eating on that table." Jas said like she was disgusted.

"What does it feel like to have sex?" Cece blurted out.

"Your a virgin?" Jas asked.

"Yeah. You telling me your not a virgin?" she asked back.

"That's exactly it" Jas said laughing.

"Alright y'all about to get into an argument that I don't want to hear so I'm hanging up." I said ending the call.

I turned the TV on and flipped through the channels. I saw that Bait was on and settled on that.

Cece's POV

I can't believe that I'm still a virgin and my little cousin isn't. Maybe its best that I wait so, I can say that I'm the first in the family to wait til marriage. I put my shoes on, and grabbed my purse. I headed out the door, and towards the hospital for work.

*8 hours later*

I was in my car heading home, when I thought about the gay male patient I had today. I absolutely have to call Jasmin and let her know. I pulled into the parking lot, of the apartment building and parked my car near the door. It was late so I didn't feel like eating. I grabbed my purse from the passenger seat, and grabbed my keys from the ignition and got out the car. I locked it behind me and ran into the building. I got into my apartment, and locked the door. I went to my room and stripped down to my panties. I grabbed a oversized shirt that Michael left behind, and put it on. I went and turned my lamp on, then turned out the ceiling light. I laid down in bed, and pulled my book out from the nightstand. I didn't feel like reading so I threw it back in the drawer and turned off the lamp. I felt my eyes get heavy and I  drifted off to sleep.
