The Forbidden Desire

Chapter 16

Bahja woke up the next morning groaning. She didn't want to wake up after what happened last night. For the first time in a while Avery didn't sleep with her in his bed. Instead, he took off to his condominium. Bahja got out of bed and stood in front of the dresser mirror. She stared at herself and rolled her eyes. It's been long since she wore any makeup or did her hair. As comfortable as Beez's V-necks and boxers were, she was getting tired of them. Bahja walked into the bathroom and washed her face before brushing her teeth with the toothbrush they provided her with. She came out a few minutes later and headed out of Bahja's room, straight to Zonnique's and Zoey's room. From all the females in the building, Nique was the nicest to Bahja.

Bahja knocked on their bedroom door and patiently waited hoping Zoey wouldn't start nun. After a few seconds the door swung open and Nique stood there rubbing her eyes. "What's up Bee?" She asked yawning. She moved aside to let Bahja in.

Bahja walked in and looked around the room. It wasn't bad but it was nothing compared to Avery. She was glad she ditched it though. "I'm getting tired of wearing these," Bahja said, gesturing to her clothing. "I also feel like dressing up a bit so I don't look dead all the time," Bahja said blushing.

Nique immediately perked up at the sound of dressing up. She smiled widely before tying her hair up in a bun. "Give me five minutes," she said before scurrying out of her room. She came back just in time and headed for her closet. Bahja patiently waited on Nique's bed, staring at her hands. Nique grabbed a some black sweats and a black shirt bringing it to Bahja. "This is new. Stylish and simple. I think it'll look so cute on you!" She said cheerfully.

Bahja took it from Nique and stared at it. It was cute indeed. "Thank you," Bahja whispered. She walked into Nique's closet and quickly changed into the dress. When she came out she found Zonnique heating up the flat iron.

"Take a seat here!" Nique said. She was so happy, it kind of made Bahja wonder why. Who would've thought someone from a gang liked the idea of "dressing up". Bahja sat down as Nique inspected her face. She grabbed her makeup kit and began to work. "I should've honestly become a makeup artist. I'm so good at this," she exclaimed.

Bahja laughed softly, trying not to move her face. "Why haven't you? Oh and can you keep it simple? I don't want anything like Keke or Nae's." Bahja mentioned.

Nique nodded. "I was just pulled into the wrong crowd, you know?" She asked. Actually, Bahja didn't know, but she nodded regardless. After Nique finished with her makeup she began to straighten Bahja's hair. "So how are you and Beez?" Bahja questioned.

Bahja stared at her reflection in the mirror and swallowed hard. She wanted to pour out her emotions to someone and Nique looked like a trustworthy person, next to Khalil of course. "Beez and I kissed last night and he freaked out before going to his condo," she blurted.

Nique tore her eyes from Bahja's hair before staring at her through the mirror. "You guys did what?" She asked slowly. Bahja sighed, knowing Nique perfectly heard. "Um, wow. Beez doesn't... This is strange," Nique finally said.

Bahja's face fell. She wanted to hear something better from Nique. "I think I might-"

"No." Nique turned off the flat iron after she was done. She closed her eyes. "You can't fall for him," she said sternly.

Bahja got off the chair and stared at Nique. "Why not?"

"Look, Beez is dangerous. It's just not worth it. Bahja, he means a lot to me, but you seem like you can do a whole lot better. You guys are the complete opposites," Nique explained.

Bahja pulled her fingers through her hair and pursed her lips. "I don't think it will be a problem-"

"Did you forget you're Chresanto's sister? Beez's enemy's sister? Do you think he'll be nice to you knowing that? He's ready to kill you and you think he wants love," Nique snapped.

Bahja took a deep breath and looked away. "You guys think he's cold hearted but he's really not. I had a one night stand with Beez. If there was one thing I learned from him that night it was the fact that he bottled up a lot of emotions. The minute I asked about Noah, Beez said "he's dead" with no emotion. But behind his words, I saw in his eyes the pain. If Beez was really a complete hot headed asshole, he would've just killed me, or the least hurt me. He didn't do anything to me yet. He's confused about himself." Bahja whispered. She turned around and faced Nique. "How come I see that in him and you guys can't?" She questioned.

Nique froze speechless. She had no idea what to say. Nique walked up to Bahja and grabbed her arm. "If you could bring human to Beez, then I support you a 100%," she whispered. Bahja smiled and moved her hand into Nique before opening the door and exiting the room. The two walked to the living room to find everyone sitting around doing their own thing.

Once Delano eyed Bahja he smiled sweetly. "Damn girl you look nice," he complimented.

"Nice? Nigga that's sexy," Zoey said as he took a better look at her. Zonnique glared at her boyfriend before looking at Bahja. She had to admit Bahja looked hot. But instead of speaking her thoughts out she remained silent.

"Thanks," Bahja said blushing.

Reginae rolled her eyes and continued to watch TV. Her feet were propped up on the coffee table. Khalil handed her cigarette pack before looking at Bahja. He sent Bahja a genuine smile before she returned one back. Her eyes wandered around trying to spot Beez, but it seemed like he didn't come back from his condo.

Suddenly the door slammed open, and everyone's eyes darted towards the entrance. Wrapped around Beez waist was a girl, heavily making out with him. He didn't notice that his whole gang was in the living room as he continued to kiss the girl roughly.
