Moni Pov

I lather my body with lavender body wash. I take my braids out and run my fingers through my hair. I hear footsteps walk past the door. I'm such an idiot. I can't believe I groped him while I was drunk and then if that wasn't the worst part, I threw up in front of him on my favorite satin sheets. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I face palm myself as I hang my head under the shower head.

I rinse off my body and turn off the water. I step out of the shower wrapping my lime green robe around me. I towel dry my hair until it's damp. The tv in my room starts playing as I slowly open the door.

'Martin, I don't have time for this. I have to go' the tv blares.

I step into my room and Dewayne looks up at me and smiles. That smile. I blush smiling back.
I look around and all the bottles, pizza boxes are gone. My sheets were replaced by my black back up set. How did he even know where to find them?

"You look so much better. Beautiful," Wayne says turning the tv down.
"Thank you," I tiptoe to my walk in closet. I scan and flip through my racks of clothes.

 "What are you getting yourself into today?" Dewayne asks from the bed.
" I want to get more furniture. You know, make my new place homey," I grab some ripped shorts to go with the white-t in my hands.
"Do you mind if I accompany you," I hear him say but his voice is  closer. I turn around, he's leaning against the closet door.
"No. I don't mind at all," I say taking my green button up jacket off the hanger. I feel his eyes still lingering on me.
"That's good ma," Dewayne says licking his lips. I blush turning around to my shoe stand. I take a minute to look them over and settle on my black open toe strapped pumps.

After I finish getting dressed, I begin to blow dry my hair. Wayne comes and stand in the doorway watching me.
"What?" I smile at looking at him through the mirror.
"You look fine as hell girl," he says looking me over. Lord this is too good to be true. This man keeps calling me beautiful and fine. He keeps looking at me, Mhmm them lips. Baby!
Dewayne smiles and walks back down the hall to my room. Just take it slow girl. Keep your guard up, baby steps can't hurt, right?
I comb my hair down letting it fall over my shoulder and down my back. I walk into the bedroom and Dewayne stands up smiling.

 "You ready?" He asks walking towards me.
"Yeah let's go," I say.

"We gotta stop by my crib first. Cuz if you getting all cute, I need to look fly too," Dewayne says after we're in the car.
"Who you tryna look daddyish for?" I joke laughing. This man is something else.
"Maybe I wanna look good for you Moni," Wayne says casually looking over at me. Now I'm starting to feel like this is all too much. How I know this nigga and tryna butter me up to get what he want?

"Dewayne I thought we talked about this. Now I know you like me and all.. but I feel like your over doing this with the compliments all the time. It a lil too much for me. I want our friendship to work and build on. I don't want to me too fast on anything," I say sternly to him.

"You know what? You are absolutely right, my bad. We friends, I see that now. I'll fall back that kool," Dewayne avoids my eyes and pulls out of the parking lot. I can tell he feel some type of way about what I said, but I had to let him know
I said what I said. My guard will stay up until further notice. I can't handle being hurt again.
I look over at him while he's driving.
Lord, just look at him. It has to be a catch. I have to figure out what it is before I get caught in it.

Not even five minutes later we pull up to a condo complex, eight stories high. Oh he on the nice side. He parks in the parking lot on the side of the building.
"You can come in or you can wait here," Wayne says getting out the car without looking at me. I roll my eyes getting out the car. I follow him inside and to the elevator.
The elevator doors open and we step in. I watch him push the 7th floor and watch the doors close.
"Wayne," I say looking at him.
"Wassup," he says looking down at his phone texting. I look at his demeanor and analyze his tone of voice.
"You know what.. never mind," I say. And to think I was going to apologize for snapping.🙄 Dewayne glares at me before looking back at his phone.
