Trouble in Paradise

Chapter 12: Sanai

That is Julian btw.

For a minute I closed my eyes, basking in the moment. His lips, Heaven to mines; so soft, delicate and full. His tongue, candy to my taste buds, I just couldn't get enough. How could something so wrong feel so right?

What the hell am I doing? I broke away from the kiss, eyes still closed, lips tingling.

Seconds later, I opened my eyes to see him staring back intensely. Cupping my chin, he spoke.

"I want you, Ma. And whatever I want I get." his facial expression confirming every word he said. He was dead ass serious.

He turned and walked to his apartment, leaving me in the parking lot dumbfounded.

Every fiber of my being wanted to follow him and devour those things he call lips.

"What are you doing to me?" I voiced as if he could hear me. I shook my head.

"Get yourself together, girl. You got Raymond and you love him. He loves you, so hold him down." I coached to myself as I walked up the steps to the apartment.

Once in the house, I rid myself of my clothing and proceed to go take a much needed shower.

I stood with my eyes closed, letting the hot water flow freely over my body.

Over the course of 48 hours, my life took a drastic turn and not for the greater good.

From Ray getting shot and slipping into a coma, getting kicked out of my house, and now temptation creeping up on me; things were getting difficult as the hours ticked by.

In what normal world have you heard all of that happen to a teenage girl in just two days? Right now I just wish I could go hide under a rock. I have nobody to comfort me and say everything's going to be alright. My support system is on life support. My family is against me & my girls are just M.I.A. Who could I run to?

After 20 minutes of standing there and letting the water run cold, I decided to clean myself up. I didn't even bother to dry off and put on clothes afterwards. I just got in the bed and snuggled against Raymond's pillow, wishing he was there beside me. For a hour I lay until sleep finds me.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I stirred a little and tried my hardest to tune out the banging.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"What the fuck, man?!!! I can't never sleep!" It was 8:03 in the morning.

I jumped out of the bed still half asleep and stomped all the way towards the front door without even taking my appearance into consideration. Whoever this person may be was about to get all this morning breath cause I knew it smelt like 'Who the fuck?' and 'What the fuck?'.

The banging continued as I unlocked the doors and snatched it open.

"Why are you banging on the door like you're the police?!"

The man smirked and licked his lips, looking me up and down like I piece of steak with A1 sauce.

"Why you looking at me like that?" I asked giving him attitude lowkey.

"Look for yourself." He simply said. I looked down.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" It was then I realized my dumb ass forgot to put on clothes. I answered the door in my birthday suit. Went from mad to embarrassed real quick.

Just as fast as I opened it, I slammed it and locked it. Running into the room, I put on clothes, gargled mouthwash amd tried again.

This time I was more humble and too humilated to look the man in the face when I opened the door.
