A Month Later

Since I've been keeping my head low since I embarrassed myself after confessing my feelings to my therapist, I don't know I'm just not as social as I used to be. Think the rejection fucked with my confidence with women, full stop. That job, Wesleys offered back to me, I been bussin my ass to get some work done. I've been getting paid good too. Got a hundred thousands sitting up in my bank account. Specially after doing up a mansion, downtown. Took me about a month. Did a few other customers a favour and changed up their houses like no other. But the income, is just a whole nother story... so now I'm taking a trip up down to the car store. Get me sum, Ion sum bumping yk

Until I heard at knock at my door. I screamed like a girl when I turned round and saw them standing there like...

Paris: [She giggled covering her mouth] "Hey, your mom let me up here if you don't mind"

Y'all probably thinking, Paris? What she doing in my house. Well It's been a while right? And... well err... Paris hit me up before she flew out for her little business trip to hang out so we did. It was real cool. We hung out at some park downtown and then we kicked it back at her place on campus. I didn't expect she'd wanna hang out but since she was flying out she wanted to take the opportunity since she didn't know how long she'd be away from home. It was nice tho. I'd do it again, it was a real vibe. Anyway...

Jacob: [He chuckled] "Nah nah... come on in..."

Paris: "Who's car is that outside on the porch?"

Jacob: [He smiled] "Who do you think?"

Paris: [She gasped] "Really? Yours? That nice ass BMW i8?!"

Jacob: [He chuckled] "Shawty knows her cars well!"

Paris: "Daangg, boy you are elevating! That construction job really playing out well for you then, huh"

Jacob: "Yeahh.. I'm making me some serious money"

Paris: "Woow [She smiled] Anywhooo what are you doing exactly?" [She chuckled looking at her surroundings]

Jacob: "Ahh don't pay no mind I was just messing" [He chuckled nervously]

She nodded and sat on his bed. He sat with her

Jacob: "Wassup, you look different btw"

Paris: "Different? [She scanned herself] You mean good different or bad different?"

Jacob: "I mean you look like you own it. Like you a whole grown ass woman" [He said looking her up and down]

Paris: "Well thanks... [She smiled and threw her leg over, classy] I do feel great!" [She shrugged in a cute manner]
