"Look at me" He demanded. I flinched at the tone he used but lifted my head to look at him. I stared at the wall behind him. I couldn't look at him. "Into my eyes" He added in the same tone. I took a deep breath and landed my gaze on him. I saw a ghost of a smile form on his lips. He seemed happy but I could see his eyes watering, making his inky blue eye color appear lighter. "You never look at me" He whispered. I could hear a crack in his voice. "Before you I thought I was nothing-" He smiled bitterly, "-but when you look at me I feel like I'm worth something.

I dragged my nails lightly over his chest, slow, my eyes locked on his. "You told me I was in control, remember?" My voice dipped lower, sultry, daring. I leaned close enough that my lips brushed his ear. "Then say it, baby. Say you're my bitch." A dark laugh rumbled from his lips, low and sinful, the kind that made my stomach flip. His eyes didn't waver, didn't blink. "I'm your bitch," he said...calm, but hot as fuck. The words rolled off his tongue like he'd been waiting to say them, and God, the way he said it almost made me melt right there.

Ve don't smile in pictures. Don't like mirrors either. With acne that feels louder than her voice some days, she learned early how to fade into the background and clown first so nobody could clown her. Then Gwap walked in - gold chain, slick Charger, hood energy heavy - and stared dead at her face like it was art. He don't talk much. Ain't friendly to nobody. But somehow, with her, he's soft. Now Ve's stuck between believing his words or the voice in her head that's been dragging her since middle school. 'Cause loving herself? That was never part of the plan. Not until him.
