My Sweetest Sin

Chapter 3

5:30am "Fucking Christ" is all I said with a yawn and a stretch. I reach over grabbing my phone going off on the night stand and turn off the alarm, its then I notice a text from J as well as a email and butterflies hit my stomach, but what I dont understand is why Im having butterflies. I open my text to read

Jordan: Midget Joe enjoyed the convo

he also said 10pm tonight?

I quickly responded

Me: Tell him I will be here !

I hit the email Icon on my phone to find a email from Joe

Bella
Hope you don't mind me calling you Bella.
Jordan said your a law student, that's fuckin
Awesome, what is your primary focus? So
Inquiring minds want to know why Jordan
Calls you Midget are you really that short?
Well I gotta jet she just got home ugh!
-Boo-

A smile instantly crossed my face. What the hell was happening to me. I have to just keep in my head all guys are the same and my lifestyle isn't going to allow me to be with a outsider. I got up showered threw on some clothes before heading out the door to class. For some reason I find myself drifting off into thoughts of my conversation with Joe, I know the inner 8 year old Reign is dying but realistically this is never gonna amount anything I just have to remember what Treach had taught my most guys are just in to play.

Class ended at 9:30 and I hurried into the atrium to meet up with Stephanie. I quickly grabbed a coffee and grabbed my phone out my pocket another email...damn. Quickly I opened it

Bella
Morning sweetheart just wanted to
Stop by and say good morning. What
Do you have planned for today.
Boo

A smile crossed my face, I was unaware that Stephanie had even sat down across from me.
"What you all smiles about""me..nothing""right""seriously yes you are" and just then I feel her pull the phone out my hand, I jump up trying to get it back, "Steph give it back!" She stops and reads the last email, " awww Reign""what"a smile crossed her face. " What are you smiling at""he likes you""likes me bullshit""he does even J says he does""how would J know""duh they are best friends.""Steph two things 1 he doesn't like me that shit there is game and two I couldn't even if I wanted too I only deal with street guys you know that.""Yea well he isn't a street guy but what's the problem with him not being a street guy so what if he is generally a nice guy?""I only know how to be with street guys that all I've ever known." "Ok seriously I don't see why your being so difficult with this""I'm not""yes...." just then Stephanie's phone rang, "it's a FaceTime from J" we both cram into the screen. Jordan popped up a second later, "Stephi, Hey Midget""Hey Babe, Hey big brother", and that's when I hear it, someone's voice say " J did you just say hey Midget" turns turns to look back, " yea" and then that's when it happened I was answering a text and that's when I heard him say "Bella" I just stopped dead and looked up. There looking at me was the man I spent majority of my childhood crushing on looking at me, "Boo" is all I managed to say. We just sat for a second looking at eachother before Jordan jumped in " umm Midget say something" I couldn't I opened my mouth and nothing came out, "Joe..Joe bro say something" he snapped out of it a second later, "so Reign I enjoyed our conversation last night""ummm me too" I look over to see the smirk on Stephs face, I was just dumbfounded and didn't know what to say he must have thought I was a idiot " I uh have to um get to class I have umm Probate law class" and before anyone can say anything I grabbed my bag and hitailed it out of there.

I sat in Probate law just at a loss on how big of a idiot I had just made myself out to be, I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn't even realize that professor Murphy had placed a test on the desk in front of me, a fucking pop quiz great.The test took me the remainder of the 45 minutes of class, I quickly turned in and and left opting to blow out the rest of the day. I jumped into my Hummer and headed to Trim's house, that was who texted me when we were on FaceTime with Jordan. I had some business to handle with the crew. Stephanie and Jordan hate that I am a part of this lifestyle always saying "your better than running with thugs and gangbangers" but at the end of the day the thugs and gangbangers are my family. I swung my car into Trim's driveway on Central and hop out finding Trim and Fresh and the porch making a deal with some neighborhood addict. Diesel and Remy Trim's pits sitting next to him growling at the crackhead standing there. "Baby R what's up ""shit just got outta class", Fresh hands me a beer and I take a long drink and place the bottle down. I sighed and Trim looks over "Reign wuz wrong""shit Austin and..." just then my phone buzzed with a email I opened it
