The sound of the door closing echoed around the room and I looked up to see her walking over to me immediately getting on the bed.
"Did she fall asleep?" I asked referring to Aria knowing they had planned on rewatching Princess and the Frog for the hundredth time tonight.
"Halfway through," she replied cuddling into me and I looked down meeting her tired gaze, the way my body relaxed the moment she touched me letting me know I wouldn't be finishing my reports tonight.
"You look really tired," I pointed out closing my laptop putting it on the nightstand, my body yearning to be engulfed in her warmth.
"I am," she mumbled as I laid flat facing her.

She asked referring to the air and I nodded watching as she leaned forward doing just that.I shifted in my seat grabbing my phone sending a quick text to her father letting him know that we were outside not really wanting to be on a call with the man, at this point in time I was merely tolerating him for Aria's sake.

I asked the sound of her voice turning me on slightly since the raspiness had mixed with the natural deep femininesultry tone of her voice, creating a sound that had me in a memorized state.

Renae asked and I looked up to see Spain not sure when he got this close, the heavy feeling on my chest continued to grow making it somewhat hard to breath as tears threatened to fall."Drive-by," he announced and I took a step back resti

Jazmine's POV The conversation continued between us as we ate and I took the time to appreciate everything about her that I unknowingly fell in love with. My mind was still racing but my heart, spirit and soul were at peace, the image of her I had created was uncanny to God, meaning it was without flaws, mistakes, it didn't lack or need, it was absolute perfection, perfection I had drawn with the blood that poured from my heart every time she reminded it to beat. Her smile had the power to form my own, her eyes could see behind any disguise I had taken the time to create, her mind could pull the good from bad situations and her heart loved with no limit or restraint, and the fact she allowed me to see, hold and appreciate each piece of her long enough for me to be a

"Can you give me a minute?" I asked him softly and he nodded moving from behind the bar going the hall as I waited patiently on her call knowing I was going to receive it the instant she got to our bedroom.

"Baby," she called out tiredly directing her question to the person knocking who I knew was Aria as I glanced over at the clock that read 4:28 am. "Can I come in?" Aria asked from the other side, the request earning a smile from me before slight worry sat in my system since she wasn't usually one to be up this early. "Yes baby you can come in," Britt agreed amused and the door opened Aria quickly running over to us. "Good morning," she voiced cheerfully as Britt helped her onto the bed. "Good morning," we both replied as Britt got up turning on the lights and I sat up looking at Aria who held a box in her hand that was wrapped in crayoned book leaves. "Happy Birthday," she announced cutely as Britt sat down on the bed, the entire

Jazmine's POV "How are feeling?" Britt asked softly her voice running through my car speakers since my phone was connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth. "I'm okay," I mumbled putting back the car seat waiting for Spain to return from the store. "You don't sound okay," she replied earning a small smile from me. "How do I sound?" "Frustrated," she confessed and I frowned slightly coming to the realization that I was. "Do you wanna tell me what's the cause of your frustration?" she asked as I bit my top lip playing with my watch gathering my thoughts into words.

Brittany's POV I began walking towards the bed only to earn a sound of protest that had me giving my full attention to her. "We still doing this on the floor," she pointed out pulling me into her gently. "The bed is right there," I voiced amused and she bent slightly lifting me, my legs going around her waist immediately. Instead of replying her lips met mine kissing me passionately the feeling taking away every piece of protesting in me and before I knew it I was resting comfortably beneath her on the floor. "Imma be right back, don't move," she voiced softly and I released her reluctantly watching as she moved into the closet.

Jazmine's POV "I'm not trying to fight you," I voiced contradicting with the thoughts my anger had created. "I-" "Just get off my property," I announced cutting him off and he got onto his feet cautiously his eyes never leaving the mouth of the pistol. My gaze stayed on him as he moved down the driveway quickly going to his car, the level of fear his body expressed pulling a sigh from me as he drove off since I had realized that fear held more weight in this society than shown respect. I opened the car door placing my pistol inside before moving up hitting the button allowing the gate to close, a small part of me still wanting to mend the relationship betw

She didn't have to be at work until eight tonight and with Aria at school, we practically had the entire day to ourselves which I was extremely grateful for since alone time between us was very rare these days. A small part of me was also left frustrated since I didn't get much sleep last night with the newly found knowledge of Devin being responsible for the cause of missing children in the neighbourhood staying present on my mind the entire time. A small yawn left me as the sun continued to sit on my skin gently pulling sweat from my pores and I briefly thought about turning the mouth of

"What time is it?" she asked softly as I placed my duffle bag on the floor moving closer to her, her fresh haircut and retwist increasing the perfect features she held, the sight leaving me in a state of admiration. "12:38," I answered leaning forward placing a small peck against her lips, her presence relaxing my tense body slightly. "Aren't you tired?" I asked softly knowing ho
