yo I don't know how to feel about J. It's too soon to even be wit him and if we was to get together I would ruin every good thing he got goin for his self, everything I touch or Everything I start to like I destroy it. I feel like I like him but I ont know if he like me, ima try to keep my distance doe. We pulled up to this big tan house and I'M guessin this was his parents house. "We here" he said and he turned off the car. I sighed and sat back in my seat. "You a be aight. I promise" he said in a reassuring voice. I looked at him and nodded. We got out and he grabbed my hand and we walked up to the house. He got out his key and unlocked it. We walked inside and he let my hand go. He got behind me and slid my coat off. "Good look" I said and he nodded. He took off his vest and hung it up. "Come on" he said wrapping his arm around my waist. "Pops" he yelled. I heard foot steps and a man appeared that looked just like j. I looked at J with wide eyes and he laughed. "Wassup" his dad said huggin him. "Sup pops" he said and then his dad looked at me. "Wassup" he said and I nodded. "What's ya name? " he asked. "Paris" I said. "Awl like the place Paris?" He asked and I laughed and nodded. He squinted his eyes at me and nodded. "I gotta test you real quick ma" he said and I cleared my throat and nodded. "Na pops" j said and I squeezed his hand. "It's coo." I said and he nodded. "What's yo favorite movie" he asked. "Not into love stories, don't really watch comedies. All about action. Favorite movie is illegal tender" I said and he smirked. "My 2nd favorite. She aight. Next question, Do you think sellin drugs is bad?" He asked and j sighed. "Pops" he said and I shook my head no. He looked at me and sighed. "Nah. You gotta get it how you get it. Nobody trynna be hungry all they life. Me personally I have never sold drugs but I grew up around people who do. Motto was always BITE " I said and j looked at me with wide eyes. His dad smiled and stared at me. "Marry her" he said while huggin me. "It ain't nothin like that. She a close, a very close friend " j said lookin at me. "Whatever" his dad said. "Where my moms and Kendrick at ?" He asked. "Kitchen and Kendrick upstairs " he said and then the door opened. "Yo" somebody said and I turned around and it was a man, his wife and his two daughters.

"Food is ready" his mom yelled. Everybody walked into the kitchen leavin us two in the back. "Wassup" he asked and I looked at him and shook my head. "Thats her" he said as we walked into the kitchen. He took a seat to a boy that looked like him , guessin thats his brother. I sat next to J and he whispered in my ear.

"What?" He asked while coughin. "You makin commitments Already? " he asked and j shook his head no. "She needed help. Mom always told me it's better to give then to receive. I gave her a safe place to stay and I promised her ima protect her and I don't expect nothin from her in return. Just a friendship" he said lookin at me. "That's Wassup. What you in trouble or somethin ma?" His dad asked and I shrugged. "I don't know what to call it" I said and he stared at me. "Aight" he said. His mom looked at me and arched her eye brow. "Wanna talk" she mouthed to me. "It's aight. All she wanna do is help" j said and I nodded. I stood up and followed her out of the kitchen. She walked to this room and opened the big doors. It was a huge office. She walked behind the desk and sat in her chair. I sat down and she looked at me. "You in trouble? Wassup?" She asked. I explained Everything to her and she listened. "Well I'M glad you met a friend like my kid. When he told you he a protect you he will ma, believe me. You a beautiful girl yo, like no bullshit. I like you, alot. If you ever need anything call me. You might as well call me mom. You look like me" she said and I smiled. "J told me that too" I said and she smiled. "You do though" she said and we sat and talked until the door opened. J walked in and closed the door behind him. "She told you?" He asked and she nodded. He sighed and tapped me . I got up and he sat down , I was about to walk away when he pulled me onto his lap. "J tomorrow we gotta talk about this whole situation with her dad. Don't need people After our family or her" she said and he nodded and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Ma let me talk to her" j said and she nodded and began to walk out. She kissed my cheek and then walked out. He waited until the door shut. "Paris" he said still holding me. "Sup" I said. "When you plan on leaving? He asked and I stayed quiet. "Reason why I'M askin is Cause I ont want you to leave. I got all this money and ain't finna spend it on my self so I a rather spend it on us." He said and I looked at him and he leaned back and looked at me. "I'M foreal m. Wassup" he asked and I sighed. "I wanna stay" I said and he smirked. "Good Cause I wasn't gone let you leave and I'M sorry about cali. I ain't know she was coming" he said and I shrugged. "It's all good" I said and he nodded. I looked down and he used his hand to turn my face toward his. "Why you do that?" He asked. "What?" I asked. "Always look down. Sad, angry" he said and I shrugged. "That's just me" I said. "Can I change that?" He asked and I stared at him. "Can I"? He asked starin into my eyes. "I know you got some wounds in yo life that ain't healed yet but I guarantee I can change that" he said and I looked away feeling myself tear up. I tried not to cry but a tear dropped. "It's aight Paris. I got you. Just let me help you. Let me show you love and what it feels like to be loved Cause the way you actin I can tell you never been loved. I understand you insecure which ain't cool cause a girl as beautiful as you is shouldn't be. Just let me change all that for you" he said wipin my tears. "Okay" I said and he smirked. He sat up and turned me towards him. He stared into my eyes then he leaned in and kissed my lips and I felt like I was gone die yo. I broke the kiss and he laughed. "You trust me" he asked and I looked into his eyes. All I seen was honesty, care, love. All I been lookin for. "Yeah" I said playin with his chain. "Good" he said peckin my lips. "I got you. I promise." He said and I smiled.
