Forever And Always (HCBTO Sequel)

"It feels good to be out that hospital" Lona smiled, walking into Jayceone room slowly. It's been a week and she's finally released after being held for observations.

Doctors told her to take it easy and stay hydrated so Jayceone offered to take care of her and anything she needs. After he said he'll be that special person for her, Lona couldn't stop thinking about what'd it be like to be with Jayceone.

Around school, he's the top dog. Guys always want to be around him and girls always want him in them. So if Lona and Jayceone did get to together, its either he'd cheat repeatedly or be the sweet and gentle Jayceone she knows.

Brushing off the thought, she slowly walked to the king sized bed and laid done her back. The room door opened and Jayceone walked in. "U feelin ok?" He asked, setting her things down by the door.

"Yea, I'm ok"

"Ok well momma cookin now, so Imma run u some water before u eat. So u can soak. U want bubbles?"

"Yes please" Jayceone disappeared into the bathroom and Lona sat up. "Do u know what she's cooking?"

"No, but it smelled good as fuck" the water started and he walked back out. Looking at her, his smile fell "What we gon do about Robert?"

She shrugged "I don't know. Hope he goes away because honestly, I think next time he sees me he'll finish the job"

"Don't talk like that Lo, forreal. Just chill ok? I'll handle him"

"No, don't" she almost yelled "I don't need u going back to jail. How can u protect me if your in there?" She asked.

Jayceone stared at her and she stared back "Come on, the waters ready" he said. After he helped her into the bathroom, he met his on downstairs "I think I'm in love momma"

She looked back and smiled at him, playing with the bottom of his dreads "I knew that already boy."

"But she isn't taking me seriously. She said I don't really feel that way, I just feel sorry for her"

"I mean, that does make sense. But just give her time ok? Don't rush or pressure her. She's been through a lot so u have to prove your different from those people she let in that hurt her"

"I thought that's what I've been doing"

"Well do more of it" the front door bell rang and Jayceone went to answer it. Xavier stood there with Imani's favorite flowers in his hand. "Wassup nigga, ain't seen u in awhile"

"Yea, shit ain't been right" they dapped each other up and Xavier followed Jayceone into the kitchen where Sydney was. "It smell good in here

"Is that Xavier?" Sydney smiled, turning to face him. "Hey sweetie, how u been?" She hugged him tight and pulled away.

"I been ok, Imani here?"

"Uh, yea. She should be. Go check her room" Xavier turned to walk away "And nice flowers. They're her favorite"

As he walked up the stairs, it seems like he could hear his heart beating out his chest. Nervous wasn't the words to describe how he felt.

Imani is unpredictable. Either she'll welcome with open arms, or snap in a second.

Standing in front of her door, Xavier knocked then slowly pushed it open to find Imani sleeping.

He closed the door behind him and walked closer, setting the flowers on her nightstand. "Imani" he said, shaking her gently. She moved a little "Imani"

Realizing the voice, she moved away from his touch and slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes and yawning. "Why are u here?" She mumbled in a sleepy voice.

"Well u did change your number"

"That's what people do when they don't want to be bothered" she climbed from her bed and walked into the bathroom. "Can u leave? I have work in a few" she brushed her teeth, looking at him through the mirror.

"I was hoping we could talk" he picked the flowers off her nightstand "I got u these, I know they're your favorite" he smiled a little.

Wiping her face, Imani turned and grabbed them. "These are nice" she smiled before dropping the flowers and stepping on them "Last time asking nicely, please leave"

"Imani i-i"

"Xavier, get out of my room now. I don't havs anything to say to u and don't want to listen to anything u need to say"

"Why not though? U didn't even give me a chance to e-"

"Explain what? I know what I saw. U and Ariana coming from the back of your Job. I should've known something was up when I saw that picture"

"I didn't tell her t-"

"Yea, whatever Xavier. U know, I thought u were different from other guys. I thought maybe we could last and you'd be my first of many things. But I'm glad I caught u when I did"

"Can u just l-"

"Xavier g-"

Finally having enough of her talking and not listening, Xavier snapped. "Let me fuckin talk" he yelled "How the hell can u already know what happen when u wasn't there. Now shut up, sit the fuck down and listen to what I got to say"

Imani slowly walked to her bed and sat on the edge of it. Xavier's never yelled or cursed at her so instead of testing him, she listened.

"When I said it wasn't what it looked like, I ment it. She followed me into the backroom after asking for a size so I went to get it"

"That doesn't exl- sorry" she quickly said seeing the look he gave her.

"She followed me and started asking for a taste, touching, grabbing and kissing on me. She pulled her titties out, got on her knees and unzipped my zipper. I pushed her away and what u saw was me fixing myself and so was she"

Imani stayed quiet as Xavier sat down next to her "Nothing happened Imani, u gotta believe me. I didn't and still don't want her. I don't want anyone, except u. " he grabbed her hand "But I do admit I was wrong for not putting a stop to her games before it broke us up. I didn't think it'd get this far. U forgive me?"

It awhile for her to answer, but eventually she did "Yea, I forgive u Xavier"
