The Forbidden Desire

Chapter 13

Avery entered the building with the rest following behind him. It was a crazy night for them. He found them having the biggest confrontation with another gang. Reginae went straight to the couch and lied down as she held her head. "God, I'm getting a headache," she mumbled as she massaged her temples. She looked over at Khalil before pointing to the fridge. "Pass me a beer bottle," she ordered.

Khalil hung his head low and headed towards the fridge. He had the roughest night from all of them. There was a cut on his cheek and he had a couple of bruises on his arms. Every step he took just hurt his body. He opened the fridge before grabbing a bottle.

Zonnique yawned and grabbed the front of Zoey's shirt. "Let's go into our bedroom," she said, winking at him. Zoey chuckled and nodded obediently before following behind her.

Avery pulled out a cirggatte and before he lit it he looked back to his room. Bahja could be there and he didn't want to get in bed smelling like smoke. Suddenly he cursed himself for caring what she thinks. "Are you going to light that?" Reginae asked as she grabbed the bottle from Khalil's hand and popping the lid off. She took a couple of swigs before staring at Avery. He shook his head no before throwing it at her.

Delano and Keke's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Um, I'm going to bed. You staying here tonight?" Delano asked Avery.

Avery sighed and nodded. "Oh, are you sure you want to sleep in your room? I mean Bahja in there. You can always share my bed," Reginae said as she perked up.

Avery shook his head no before turning his back on them and heading into his room.

Reginae gasped and looked furious. Delano laughed uncontrollably. "Ooooooo burn. He don't want your thirsty ass," Delano told her.

"Shut the fuck up faggot," she snapped.

"Somebody get her some water," Delano said laughing.

Avery pulled off his shirt before throwing it to the side. He looked down at the bandage that was still covering most of his stomach. His eyes fell on Bahja who had her back turned to him and was sleeping in his bed. Avery sighed. She gave him a good view he just couldn't shake off. He kicked his shoes off before climbing into his bed. Once he settled down, Bahja turned around and immediately her arm sprawled across his chest. He was taken back but when he realized she was sound asleep he didn't want to push her away. He swallowed hard and stared up at the ceiling. He didn't know what to do with Bahja. Surely he couldn't find himself killing her. It was a lot easier saying it then getting it done. She was practically the most beautiful girl he's ever met. She understood him within the first few days and that's what scared him the most. Avery kept replaying the night he first shared with Bahja over and over again in his head. He can't hate her because she was Chresanto's sister.

"Avery..."

Avery turned his head to find Bahja rubbing her eyes. He realized she started to wake up. "Yeah."

"Are you okay?" She asked him. He felt a sudden emptiness when Bahja removed her arm from his chest.

Avery nodded but realized it was dark for her to see. "Yeah," he whispered.

She sighed. "Is it okay if I cuddle into you? I'm cold," she told him.

Avery felt his heartbeat stop for a second. Cuddle? He wasn't the cuddle kind of person. He was up for sex though. He thought about his options. Something drew him to Bahja and he couldn't say no to her. She was cold and it was his fault for not owning some sweaters. "Yeah." He turned his body to the side as Bahja scooted closer to him. Avery wrapped his arm around Bahja's slim waist and pulled her right into his chest.

Bahja smiled and rested her head against it. It felt nice cuddling with him. "I'm sorry for upsetting you earlier," she whispered. Avery remained silent. How was he supposed to reply to that? "Just don't kill me," she said before moving her head up and kissing his cheek. Avery was shocked. These gestures of hers kept bringing out the soft side of him. He took a deep breath. Bahja was perfect.

Khalil moved around the kitchen trying to make breakfast for everyone. This is what he did on a regular basis, but after last night his body felt stiff. Zonnique later joined him in the kitchen. When she noticed her plate empty still she sighed and grabbed a banana from the middle of the kitchen counter. "Are you okay Khalil?" She asked.

Khalil dropped the pan he was holding and Zonnique immediately winced. He groaned in frustration before picking up the pan and placing it on the stove again. "I can't cook..." He trailed off.

"Why the fuck not?" Reginae asked as she walked towards the kitchen. She was wearing a hot pink dress that fell to her mid-thigh. In her hands she held a CD, which Khalil kept glancing at.

"I'm hurt," he told her.

Reginae scoffed and rolled her eyes in annoyance. She always knew Khalil was a pussy and that's why they kept him for house duty. "God, you made me sick," she spat.

Khalil lowered his head and Zonnique felt herself tense. "Why do you have to pick on him all the time? He's trying Reginae," she defended him.

"Shouldn't you be on zoey's Dick right now."

"What you mad because you can't get Avery's dick." Zonnique said as she glared at Reginae before getting off her stool and helping Zack in the kitchen. "I'm going to bitch slap your sister one day," Zonnique whispered under her breath to Khalil.

Khalil glanced over his shoulder to make sure Reginae wasn't listening. When he noticed her head turned away he looked over at Zonnique. "By all means," he whispered back. They both silently laughed as they prepared breakfast together.
