Criminal Love

Chapter 34: Jo Elma's POV

As we hit the interstate back to Pensacola, we hold hands. I am tempted to suck him off while he's driving, but I think better of it and stay seated. As we are driving, I look out the window and stare at the other cars and the trees. I grab my new phone out of my purse and my old headphones and put one in my right ear. I click on Spotify and put on Dinah Jane's "Bottled Up". I love this song so much. I sing along to it, forgetting that I'm in the car with Jason.

"Dinah Jane

I don't need no diamond ring, baby, I got you
I can buy the finer things, simple things will do
Said the best things in life are free, now I know why
Since you gave your love to me, opened up my eyes

I'm a bad chick, I need a bad one with me
Work from home, but he gon' stay up with me
No sleep tonight, yeah, you know what I like
If you ride for me, I'm gonna ride for you
Back to back, but we gon' make it through
No sleep tonight, yeah, you know what I like

I'm drinking, baby, 'cause I'm bottled up
I'm smoking, baby, yeah, I'm high as fuck
I'm drinking, baby, 'cause I'm bottled up

Dolla Sign
Bottled up, yeah, yeah

I put 50 on your wrist, that don't mean shit
When you tell me that you're mine, I know you mean it
D'Ussé, put it on the rocks
Little baby, on that French Vanilla Ciroc (ooh, yeah)

I know that sex appeal is all they sell
I could get it with a one night stand, but it won't be real
But he putting in the work
Let me feel if this is worth it
Gonna have to hit him with the bust down
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a bad chick, I need a bad one with me
Work from home, but he gon' stay up with me
No sleep tonight, yeah, you know what I like
If you ride for me, I'm gonna ride for you
Back to back, but we gon' make it through
No sleep tonight, yeah, you know what I like (yeah)

I'm drinking, baby, 'cause I'm bottled up (I'm bottled up, yeah, yeah)
I'm smoking, baby, yeah, I'm high as fuck (I'm high as fuck)

Bottled up, yeah
Baby, I'm bottled up, yeah
Baby, I'm bottled up, yeah
Baby, I'm bottled up, yeah, yeah, yeah (bottled up)
I'm bottled up, I'm bottled up"

I look over to Jason staring at me in awe. I look down, blushing beet red.

"Wow, babygirl, that was amazing! You should keep singing!" he says to me as I look back up at him to see him smiling that bright smile.

"Thank you and I will!" I tell him with a smile.

I look for another song to sing and pulled up Ariana Grande's "God Is A Woman.

"You, you love it how I move you
You love it how I touch you
My one, when all is said and done
You'll believe God is a woman
And I, I feel it after midnight
A feelin' that you can't fight
My one, it lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman

I don't wanna waste no time, yuh
You ain't got a one-track mind, yuh
Have it any way you like, yuh
And I can tell that you know I know how I want it
Ain't nobody else can relate
Boy, I like that you ain't afraid
Baby, lay me down and let's pray
I'm tellin' you the way I like it, how I want it

And I can be all the things you told me not to be
(Yuh)
When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishing
(Yuh)
And he see the universe when I'm in company
It's all in me

You, you love it how I move you
You love it how I touch you
My one, when all is said and done
You'll believe God is a woman
And I, I feel it after midnight
A feelin' that you can't fight
My one, it lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman

I'll tell you all the things you should know
So, baby, take my hand, save your soul
We can make it last, take it slow, hmm
And I can tell that you know I know how I want it, yuh
But you different from the rest
And boy, if you confess, you might get blessed
See if you deserve what comes next
I'm tellin' you the way I like it, how I want it

And I can be all the things you told me not to be
(Yuh)
When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishing
(Yuh)
And he see the universe when I'm in company
It's all in me

You, you love it how I move you
You love it how I touch you
My one, when all is said and done
You'll believe God is a woman
And I, I feel it after midnight
A feelin' that you can't fight
My one, it lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
(God is a woman, yeah)
My one
(One)
When all is said and done
You'll believe God is a woman
You'll believe God
(God is a woman)
Oh, yeah
(God is a woman, yeah)
(One)
It lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman"

I finished singing and look up to a smiling Jason again.

"You ready to tell me the address for the first person because we are in Florida now?" he asks me.

"Yeah!" I say to him as I write down the address to my ex, Stephen Jones's house and hand it to him.

He grab the paper and sets the GPS up to head that way.

Let's do this. Be prepared for a new and better me, I think to myself as we push forward to the first house.
