Chris POV:

I woke up to the sound of light snores. I turned over to see a women sprawled out. Did I have a one night stand?

I lifted the cover and seen I was fully clothed. My movements must've woken her because she rolled to look my way.

"Morning." She half smiled.

"I'm not gone lie. I thought you were just some random for a quick second." I lightly laughed.

"It's okay we had a few drinks last night." She stretched.

"Yeah." I just watched her as she got out the bed and stretched her whole body. "You do this every morning?"

"Yes it relaxes the muscles from being tense in your sleep. Did you know when we are sleep it's kind of like rigor mortis because the muscles and all of that stuff stiffen so you won't move much in your sleep." 

"I didn't know that. Wow." I was amazed that she's intellectual. No offense. Most models aren't.

Speaking of her being a model. "How are you a model but you don't have confidence? Like it's weird most models are cocky."

"Well being a plus size is harder than a regular size model. We model granny clothes. We are constantly told we have to be a certain type of plus size. Then there's the people who discriminate. Telling me stop promoting obesity and etcetera."

"Wow that's crazy. I'm sorry I prejudged."

"It's okay I know you didn't mean any harm. Listen Chris. I want to thank you for last night, it was well needed. I needed to cry. Laugh. Interact with a fresh face is what I'm trying to say. Yes I know you still are my therapist and you can't be friends when there's a business or contract involved but I feel like we'll become well acquainted."

"Girl fuck that business shit. I want to be your friend. I want you to be able to come to me in need without having to make an appointment. Based solely off of our time together so far I can see us being partners in crime."

"For sure. Hey do you have a spare tooth brush? We holding whole conversations with stank breath." She said making me laugh.

"Yeah its in the closet, in the hallway. It should be on top of a towel and wash cloth. Do you want clothes to leave in?"

"Why? You want these sweats back?"

"Yeah they my fav." I laughed.

"Stingy. What if I liked them?"

"They having a sale on them at Macy's."

She fell out laughing. "You ain't shit."

I shrugged as I laughed along with her.

As she showered I left out the house to Chick-Fil-A. I remember her telling me she loved their chicken minis. I played it safe and got her a orange juice to go with it. If she doesn't like it I have fruit punch at the house.

I unlocked the door and walked in my home to my name being called.

"Chris?!" Her head popped out from against the wall.

"Wassup? I went to get breakfast. Did you check your phone? I told you where I went."

"Oh no my bad. Thank you so much." She followed me into the kitchen.

"Aye did you tell your parents you were staying with them?"

"Uhh about that. They're gonna want to know the exact reason I'm staying there. It's not that they care. It's just if it's David related my father is going to lose his shit."

"But this is serious. He laid his hands on you."

"I know but-"

"If you not staying with them do you have a friend you can crash with? If not you can stay here. I would pay for you a hotel but my house is much cheaper."

"My friends are gonna just react the same way my father will. It's fine I can go back home."

"Tabria no."

"Chris I can't impose. It's rude. Don't want my problems to become yours." She took a quick swig of her orange juice.

"They kind of already did. When we agreed we can be friends."

She glared at me making me laugh. "I'm serious we're going to your home to get some belongings and you're coming back with me."

"I can go alone. I'm a big girl."

"Yeah no. For him to try to lure you back in with a fake ass apology and make up sex. I been there, did that." 

"You right." She saddened. "What do you mean? Been there, did that. You don't seem like the type."

"That's because I changed and put my boyish ways to the side. I used to cheat, deceive, basically do all the shit your not supposed to do in a relationship. And I would manipulate my girl by buying her things, make up sex, all that and more. I just finally realized what my actions were causing therefore I fixed it. But the one thing I'll never do is lay my hands on a female. I was raised better than that. I didn't like when dudes did it to my mom. So why would I do it to anyone's sister, mother, or whatever."

"Wow he's on his grown man shit."

"Thank you I try to be." I smiled.

"I didn't mean-"

"To say that out loud." I finished for her. "Yeah I figured." I smirked.

"Don't do that little smile." She rolled her eyes laughing at me.

"Chop chop we have a busy day planned ahead."

"But we haven't planned anything." She said confused shoving the sandwich in her mouth.

"I did. We gotta go get your belongings. Who knows how long that'll take. Then we needa go to the grocery store because I have no food. By time we're done shopping we'll most likely be hungry therefore we gonna have to find somewhere to eat lunch."

"Okay yeah. Lemme put my hair up then we can bounce."

To be continued...

Sorry I been absentee. But I'm back. Appreciate the support.
