You Can't Help Who You Fall For

Chapter 7

(Imani in the MM)
Chresanto.

Ray always knows how to throw the best parties. Shit I was enjoying myself I was so geeked I barely knew what was going on.I knew Ray was with that girl, Amber I think her name is well yea they was all on each other dancing. That nigga Jacob was with Jennifer all kissed up in the corner and Imani, she was on the couch with Daniel. Wait a minute hold the fuck up did I just see Daniel with her. Why the fuck she talking to him? Is she drunk or something?

I don't even why but I couldn't help but watch her every move. They talked,danced and then I seen him take her upstairs she could barely stand up let alone walk he was basically dragging her.when the door closed I kinda started to panic I don't know why I felt as if I had to protect her. Five minutes later I heard her screaming and I ran up the stairs busted through the door when I seen that this nigga was forcefully on top of her. I blacked out I remember throwing punches left and right. When I was finished I looked up and Imani was passed out on the bed I picked her up and put her in my car and drove to my house. When I parked in the driveway of my house I looked over at her still passed out in the passenger seat.I picked her up yet again she was heavier than I thought.I brought her up to my room. I laid her on the bed and placed the covers over her.

I watched her sleep; she looked so peaceful. Looking at her reminded me so much of Craig, she was so much like him. I never even knew he had a girl cousin I mean I knew about Jacob but not Imani . Like he mentioned Jacob a few times but never her I guess he never wanted her on the mix of all this shit he was in. Imani was real laid back, quiet, sweet and she was just beautiful plus she had the deepest dimples I ever seen. She was everything I wanted but everything I couldn't have. Like I killed her cousin and if she knew that it would hurt her and if he was alive he wouldn't want me around her.

He would be like her second older brother even though Jacob doesn't give two fucks about her anymore. That's why I feel responsible to look after her for Craig. I wouldn't do this shit for any other girl but her. I watched her sleep for another three hours before I fell asleep myself.

Imani.

I tossed and turned in what I thought was my own bed trying to go back to sleep finally I sat up to a room that wasn't mine the walls we're painted like a sky blue and it was black scripted writing on the wall. I noticed that they we're different quotes on the walls from hip hop artist.

"Reality is wrong, Dreams are real."
-Tupac Shakur

I read one of the quotes to myself before seeing that Chresanto was asleep in a bean bag chair.So this is his room? How did I get here? I got out the bed and walked around the room seeing different things related to music like music was his passion.

" Your awake?" I jumped at the sound of his voice. "Yeah" I said turning around in his direction. "How did I get in your room?"

"Oh I brought you here after you passed out" he got up from the chair and stood up in front of me. We were like an inch apart from each other. Iwaated to feel his hair so badly. I took my hand and ran it through his tiny curls as he stared in my eyes. The temptation was killing me so I kissed him and he kissed back our lips perfectly matching and moving in motion. It felt so right to do that, he then pulled away and looked at me with lust in his eyes. As I grabbed my bag and went home.
