Chapter 12 #2
“None of your business,” Ava fired back. Miles leaned down and kissed her lips.
Titan circled my waist with his hand and leaned down to whisper in my ear. “You ’bout ready to go?” he asked.
“I’m ready whenever you are.” He nodded.
“Aye, I’m out. I’ve been down here long enough. I’m taking my ass upstairs to get out of these clothes,” he said to his friends.
He grabbed my hand and led us away from the crowd, but not before getting stopped by cameras.
“Titan, can we get a picture of you and the pretty lady?” a man asked.
“At least you had the decency to ask this time,” Titan uttered before pulling me in front of him and draping his arm around my waist, resting his hand on my stomach.
The guy took a few pictures of us before Titan told him that was enough. We got stopped by a few more reporters, but Malik blocked their path to us as we got on a private elevator.
“That was... interesting,” I stated as we rode the elevator.
“That wasn’t shit. Wait until the headlines hit in a few hours,” he said as the elevator stopped.
He nodded for me to step out first, and we walked into a beautiful penthouse suite.
“This is nice. Is it yours?” I asked.
“It damn sure ain’t this nigga’s.” He laughed pointing at Malik.
“Smartass.” I rolled my eyes.
He left Malik upfront and escorted me to the back, where we ended up in a bedroom. I noticed a lot of his things were here, so he had to frequent it a lot.
“You must come here a lot,” I mentioned as I looked around the room.
“Yeah. I pay it yearly. The nights I don’t want to go home I come here.” He shrugged.
My feet were killing me, so I sat on the chaise so I could take them off.
Titan noticed what I was doing, and he came over to assist me.
He’d already taken his jacket off and unbuttoned his shirt.
He was so delicate, almost like he was scared he would break me.
When he was done removing my shoes, he just stared at me for a few seconds before he stood to his full height.
“I had Lani grab some things so you could shower and change. It’s already in the bathroom. I’ll shower in the other one,” he said as he walked out the room.
Getting up, I went into the bathroom and found the things that he had there for me. This had Nae’s ass written all over it. Yeah, he’s been to my house but not in my bedroom where my bathroom and personal things were. I picked up my phone and texted her sneaky ass.
Would you have anything to do with Titan knowing all my personal things ??
She must’ve been waiting for me to text because her ass texted right back.
Nae Bae ????: And did… you’re welcome now go slide that pussy all over that fine ass nigga and give his hair a good condition ????
I cackled at that phone and placed my phone on the counter. Pulling out my toiletries, I washed all the makeup off my face first, leaving me with lashes and a bare face. Once my face was clean, I removed this expensive ass dress and hung it up on the hanger that I brought with me.
The water pressure was to die for, and I wish I could take the showerhead back home with me.
After lathering my body good a few times, I rinsed and finally got out.
I wrapped the towel around me and went back to the bag to see what Nae packed me to sleep in.
I was happy she packed my regular boy shorts and tank top, but I would’ve preferred her to send me some actual pajamas.
Once I was dressed and moisturized, I repacked my things and gathered everything and went back into the room.
Titan was sitting on the bed facing me, but he was on the phone.
I didn’t bother him, but he never took his eyes off of me.
I placed the bags on the chair that was near the wall and grabbed my phone.
“Aight, Ma. I’ll call you tomorrow. Yeah. Aight... I love you, too,” I heard Titan say before he hung up.
“You straight?” he asked.
“Yeah. I texted Nae and cursed her out because I knew she had something to do with that hoe bag,” I laughed and he joined in.
“Don’t give her too much,” he laughed. “I had Lani tell her to get you some shit together because I wanted to kick it with you, besides with all the cameras, it looked believable that you’d stay with me.”
“A little heads up would’ve been nice,” I asserted.
I headed for the door, but Titan stopped me before I could leave.
“Where you going with your pussy out like that?” He frowned.
“My pussy is not out and I’m going out there to watch TV,” I countered.
“It is and you can watch it in here. Graves out there and I would hate to have to kill my boy for looking at you a second too long,” he stated. The look on his face let me know that he was serious.
“Uhm, so you expect me to sit up in here with you all night?” I crossed my arms under my breasts and glared at him. I saw his eyes zoom in on my center and I snapped my fingers to get his attention.
Snap!
“Aye, don’t snap your fucking fingers at me. That’s the second time you’ve done that shit,” he spat.
“And I’ll do it every time I need to get your attention if I have to,” I shot back.
Titan rose from the bed before I could blink and closed the space between us. He was so close that he backed me up against the door, and his hard chest was pressed against me as I looked up into his face while he stared down into mine.
“You got a smart-ass mouth... you know what?” he spoke lowly as he glared at me with those piercing brown eyes of his.
“And you have a problem listening,” I shot back. I was surprised I even got that out since my breath was caught in my throat from him being so close.
His next move caught me off guard because he picked me up with little effort and locked my legs around his waist and crashed his lips against mine.
We fought for control of the kiss until I gave in and let him take the lead. He kissed me with so much passion you wouldn’t think that our relationship was fake. He walked us back to the bed and laid me on my back without breaking the kiss.
Every nerve in my body was going haywire from his touch, and I needed to feel him... now. I reached for the waistband of his shorts and tugged at them. You would think that he would continue, but he jumped up like my body was suddenly forbidden.
“Shit,” he huffed as he rubbed his hand over his hair and down his face.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“I can’t do this shit, Tink,” he responded. “Not like this,” he continued. “Your little mean ass deserves better than some in the moment shit. Besides, I fucked too many bitches in this room. I can’t and won’t do that to you,” he said honestly.
I wanted to be mad, but I couldn’t. He was respecting me while I was ready to give it up quicker than a Hot N’ Ready. I didn’t respond... I only nodded and went into the bathroom to freshen up. He had successfully ruined my underwear.
When I came back into the room, he was lying in the bed with the TV on.
“Stop overthinking the shit, Tink and come lie down,” he instructed.
I plodded over to the empty side of the bed and got under the covers.
Titan pulled my body close to his, where my head rested perfectly on his chest. No words were spoken as we watched Martin reruns.
We stayed like this until we both fell asleep.
The crazy thing about it was that it felt natural and not uncomfortable at all... and that’s what I was afraid of.
