I've Experienced It

Chapter Three- Playing Games

Camela woke up as the sun crept through the curtains. Sitting up and stretching, she checked her phone and noticed a text message from Jackson "goodnight beautiful, I love you." Camela rolled her eyes, got up and went into the bathroom. She did her hygiene and prepared to walk outside the room. She was so nervous mainly because of the behavior Jackson displayed last night, he was sending her mixed signals and she didn't like it. She peeked her head out the door and looked left and right, the scent of breakfast being made made her smirk because she was indeed hungry. She made her way into the kitchen and stopped dead in her tracks. She heard voices speaking and it was obviously between a male and a female.

"Yeah, my brother flew this broad out here and told me all this shit last minute. I don't even know what to do about it but I hopes he handles this shit before I do." the unknown voice said. She couldn't see who it was so she just assumed it was Jesse. "I think it's so rude for him to do that, just to invade your privacy with no permission, you need to talk to him about it because I'm not into it baby." She heard the lady say, clearly with an attitude. "Don't worry about it, come give me a kiss." the male voice said. A few minutes later there were kissing noises. Camela tip toed back to her room. All of her hunger instantly disappeared, she felt unwanted and dirty. She couldn't understand why Jesse was talking so mean about her when he was so nice yesterday.

She picked up her phone and texted Jackson, "uhh hey, I don't know what I did to you yesterday or why you behaved the way you did but I can find some other place to stay, I heard your brother talking this morning about how he doesn't want me here and I'm sorry but I'd rather not be a burden." She looked over the message about three times before sending it, mainly because she didn't want to start problems between the brothers because they both owned the condo. Camela just sat on the bed not knowing how to move and begin her day. Everything was just so crazy and fast, she was finally feeling it. She thought about home and felt nothing but anger and hurt. She didn't care if she never saw them again, she felt nothing for her mother and siblings at all. "they won't look for my ass anyway, they are probably happy", she thought. At home was actally different now that she was gone, it actually took a turn for the worst. Her step dad Troy was now beating her mommas ass because he was angry that Camela left, he was basically blaming her mom for driving her away.

Her phone chirpped and broke her out of her thoughts, "What? I'll deal with that right now baby girl, are you okay? Are you hungry? How did you sleep?" as she read the message from Jackson her heart started to speed up mainly because she didn't want no problems. She was confused and even more hurt because he could've just came to her and made sure she was okay, the vibe was really off. How can you be so sweet in text but so rude in person? She just didn't understand but she knew that everyone was different and dealt with sudden change differently. She just wished he was more open with her. She texted him back saying that she slept good was really hungry. After that she went into the shower and got lost in her thoughts.

Jesse came out of his room to see Jackson in the kitchen with his ugly ass "situation". He didn't bother to acknowledge her much rather speak. "I need to talk to you nigga, minus your lil burden" Jesse said referring to Chanel. Jesse didn't like Chanel because she was a homie hopper and just be on any nigga with money but its like his brother made the stupidest choices with women. "No the burden is that broad you got living here with no one's permission, she needs to be on your wing because she's your problem." Chanel replied smartly with her hand on her hip. Jesse looked back and forth between Chanel and Jackson with a crazed look in his eyes. Jackson knew he was older but he knew that Jesse had a very short temper and had no problem knocking Chanel's teeth down her throat. "Yo, go in the living room let me talk to my brother for a minute." Jackson said tapping Chanel on her thigh. Jackson didn't bother correcting Chanel because it was the truth, he wasn't feeling this game his brother was playing.

"Yo, this morning she heard whatever you two ugly asses said. I think she came out looking for breakfast." Jesse exclaimed. He could tell his brother wasn't listening and neither did he care. He really needed Jackson to be considerate because Jesse had no plan on telling Camela the truth. He just got carried away with all the internet chatting and it became too real too fast. "I just need to know why you can't just tell her it's you and you're in love with her. Why wouldn't you?" Jackson questioned Jesse with his brows raised.

Jesse wish he could just tell her but he couldn't mainly because he wasn't in love with her, he just wanted to help her as much as possible. He took to her as a little sister but she started to fall for him first and he didn't want to hurt her anymore than she was hurting so he played along. He knew the truth would break this girl more than ever. He was all she had, well technically Jackson was. "Nigga I just can't iight? Go in there and give her this breakfast." He said shoving the plate in Jackson's hand. Jackson was almost offended because he followed no one's orders. He felt like his brother was trying to play him. He knew that he wanted nothing to do with this chick, so he was even more furious and just wondering why his brother was doing this to him. He sucked his teeth and walked to the room anyway.

He knocked lightly on the door before opening it and peeking his head in. He didn't see her in sight so he silently thanked God and planned to get in and get out. He rested the food on the night stand and turned to walk out, "why are you avoiding me Jackson?" was all he heard behind him. He mentally cursed and cleared his throat before turning around. There Camela stood, hair damp and still dripping on her silk royal blue robe. The color complimented her skin tone perfectly. She had the robe tied loosely and her light brown eyes were glistening. Jackson didn't know if she wanted to cry or if she was just happy to see him. He almost couldn't talk because of the way he was captivated in her presence, he watched how she cocked her head to the side and waited on his repsonse. She was so graceful, she then started looking down pulling the robe tighter and it clicked to him that he was just staring at the chick. "Uhh, I'm not I was still trying to give you your space, don't wanna be so clingy already." he replied, that was the first thing that popped into his head. She began walking closer to him and he felt his body heat up.

"I'm okay, just happy to finally be with you. Thank you for staying true to your word and helping me for real. You didn't have to but you never left. I love you so much for that." she explained touching his face. At this point he was lost for words all over again when he saw her reaching up for a kiss, he stood frozen. Their lips connected and he surprised himself by kissing her back, their tongues wrestled for dominance and he obviously won. He grabbed her ass firmly but gentle pulling her closer into him. Her breast were now pressed against his bare chest and he felt her nipples harden. This made him squeeze her ass a bit tighter. That made her pull back and clear her throat, it was clearly getting too hot. She didn't want to feel like she had to fuck him for a place to stay, or that she was just pitiful and desperate. "I uhh, sorry. I shouldn't have." She tried explaining when there was nothing to explain. Jackson understood why she was behaving the way she did because she was misled. He hated to admit that he actually liked the kiss. "You good beautiful, I shouldn't have. I'm gonna let my brother take you out today to shop and get you some things, I got some business to take care of." he said walking out. As he closed the door the leaned against it letting out a sigh, he couldn't believe he kissed her. She was indeed beautiful and very much his type. He couldn't stop thinking about how much of his type she was, he was beginning to think his brother meant doing this. "Maybe I'll just fuck her" Jackson thought.

He entered the kitchen and looked at Jesse who was smirking at him. "Took a little long to deliver breakfast huh? What you think?" Jesse asked teasing him. "Man fuck you. That girl is just very clingy. When I fuck her don't be mad" Jackson replied going into the living room. Jesse just shook his head and laughed. He knew his brother, he acted tough but was very soft with women he cared about. He only witnessed his brother in love once and it fucked Jackson up a lot after it didn't work out but he knew Jackson was only fronting for now or was he?

"Jackson you are not serious!" Chanel said as Jesse came around the corner. "I thought I told you to leave, my bad but you could let yourself out love." Jackson said looking at Chanel. She looked so hurt and offended as if she didn't know what was good. She knew she was just a fuck and go, Jackson just had this charm that made the chicks he dealt with feel like he loved them. They always thought they were wifey after the first fuck. Jesse just laughed watching her entering the elvator. He was so happy that they didn't have a door. "Good thing you can't slam an elevator shawty cause you heated as fuck." He laughed while watching the elevator close. "You gotta carry her shopping bro, I already told her you would." Jackson said smirking at Jesse and walking to his room. "This bitch" Jesse though shaking his head.
