The Price We Pay

Who Can I Run To

Jovita

The apartment complex was nice as hell, I was nervous and texted him that I was here, I watch him step out of his place and I got out the car

'You look nice' he says I smile 'Why because I'm wearing yoga pants' he starts laughing 'I can see your face more' he says I walk in his place and it was nice and well cleaned 'Wow your place is nice' I say

'Thanks come take your shoes off and relax' he says I did what I was told and sat on his couch 'I made some pasta' he says handing me a plate of spaghetti 'You could have poison me' I joke 'Well I guess I'm dying with you then' he says eating his food, I took a bite and moan 'Wow Frank this is good how did you learn how to cook' I ask

'My mom taught me' he said 'It's very good' I say eating more of it 'Jovita I w- 'Look Frank for tonight can we just skip past that conversation, I'm not mad and I forgive you' he smiles at me 'Glad to hear that, you thirsty' he ask I smile 'Yes can I have some wine please' I ask 'Chardonnay or Meriot' he ask 'Chardonnay please' he nods making my cup

I love his place is was really nice he sits besides me and hands me my cup 'What are you drinking' I asked him as he smiles 'Henny' he says turning onto some R&b music 'So have you thought about what I asked you' Frank ask

'I'm not going to have time to make a dozen shirts for little kids at such short notice' and he smiles 'We have 2 months to get everything together, so what's another exucse you have' he ask

'I have sorority stuff going on' he smiles 'Alphaaaaa Betaaaa nobody can ever beeeee us BEEEETA' he teases making me smack him 'Don't do that' I warn him as he smiles 'Ahhh so that's what we're doing' he says drinking some more henny

'How did you know' I asked 'Guess , but looking at you I don't get that vibe from you' I frowned 'Everybody keeps saying that' I whined 'Then you should take that as a sign' he says 'I am my mother legacy' I respond

'You don't have to be, remember what I said about my dad'  he says referring to how his dad served and Frank refuse to do the same 'Frank I really don't wa- 'They beat you don't they' he ask I shook my head 'No Frank' I lied as he looks at me 'Jovita are they hitting you' he ask I nod my head yes

'What if someones dies' he ask I sigh the alohcol was getting to me 'Fuck Frank I don't know alright everybody is fine though I promise' I say as he wipes the tears from my eyes 'Well it's getting late 'You can have my bed I'll take the co- 'No I want to sleep with you please' I asked as he nods helping me up, as I went to grab my bag but of course the stupid condom falls out

'Wow is that what you had in mind' Frank ask making me laugh 'My friend put it in there okay I promise' I say as he smirks 'Mhmm if you say so' he says 'Can I be honest with you' I asked him and he nods 'If I wanted us to have sex would you agree to it' I ask he stood 'I would say no' he responds walking past me

'Umm why' I asked trying not to get offended 'Your hurt right now, and I'm not going to take advantage of your mental state' he says

'Am I not attractive to you' I ask as he chuckles 'Jovita you're beautiful' he says standing right in front of me 'Then why wo- 'Because I don't think it's the right time alright' he assures me giving me a peck on the cheek

'You can at least kiss me on the mouth' I say but he shakes his head taking his shirt off 'Jesus' I whispered not even realizing

'What's that' he asked smirking as I shake my head 'Nothing I hit my elbow on the door' I lied as he starts laughing 'If you say so, next time I'll make sure to baby proof the place' he winks I glare at him

'I'm going to go change' I say walking into his bathroom, I had on boy shorts and a regular Rick and Morty shirt. I washed my face and brushed my hair into a ponytail after I was done I walked out and headed back into Frank's room 'Damn' he whispers as I walk in 'What is something wrong' I ask as he chuckles 'You look beautiful' he says walking in front of me 'Boy I dont even have makeup on' I say waving him off 'You look beautiful in your natural state' he says wrapping his hands around my waist

'Whatever you say Drake' I laugh as he gives me a confused look  'Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no make-up on that's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong' I rap as he laughs 'Aye it's true though and you're hair is so long' he says playing with my ponytail 'Gracias now can we cuddle' I ask as he smiles leading me to the bed I quickly dove under the covers as he did I was happy when he wrap his arms around me I laid on his chest listening to his heart beat

His room was dark but he had these lights that shine every so often and it was peaceful 'Wow I really enjoyed my time with you' I say as he gives my forehead a peck 'I just want you to be comfortable here' he says 'And you live here by yourself' I asked as he nods 'Yep' he replies

I wanna live here, I thought to myself 'Then move in with me' he says 'Frank I would love to but this is happening way to fast' I say 'What difference does it make if we wait till later' he ask

'I'll know you better as a person and plus my mama wouldn't allow me too' I say as he smiles 'Jo your a grown woman, it's time you start making your own decisions' he says

'But I'm only 19 with no job, how could I help you with rent' I ask 'Your a smart girl, you can literally start your own business or work with me' he says but I made a face

Hell no.

'I'll pass on that offer' I say, I moved on top of Frank as he stared at me deeply 'Jovita I'm not playing with you' he says 'I just want a kiss' I smiled 'A peck and that's it' he says I nod leaning in, I felt his soft lips and moved my lips urging him to do as well

'Shit you make this harder than it needs to be' Frank says wrapping his arms around me, he then flips us around and he's on top I was so turned on right now, I then felt his lips going towards my neck and how his hands traveled to my ass and gave it a soft squeeze

'We got to stop' he says getting off me 'Frank what is the deal' I asked 'If I didn't care about you so much I would've fuck but because it's you I have so much respect and I refuse to have any intercourse with you'

'Wow that is really sweet of you' I say as he sighs 'I'm sorry and I felt bad when I kissed you that day at the par- 'But I'm fine and I want you to kiss me' I argue back I stared at him and he seemed unsure

'Does this have to do with the fact that I recently got out of a relationship' I asked and he nods 'I think you need time to yourself I don't want to be some rebound' he responds

I understand where he's coming from. I sat up and started thinking, I still love Aaron but I like Frank but in order for me to be fully open with Frank I have to get over the feelings I have for Aaron

What do I want in life
