“So, apparently, someone had tried to kill him, and he barely got away,” I said keeping it short. I wasn’t sure I wanted her to know everything that Ghost was into. Yeah, I trust her, but it wasn’t my story to tell.
“And now y’all out her in the woods playing house?”
“It’s not like that,” I said, holding back a laugh. “It’s complicated. After that night... things shifted. We got to know each other, we vibed and I saw something in him that I wasn’t expecting. We only came here to let the heat die down before I went back home.”
The thought of going back home caused a weird feeling in my stomach. Ghost and I had been in hog heaven these past few days, but the realization was, I would eventually have to go back home, and I didn’t know what would happen with us.
“How long after that did y’all fuck?” Tori asked, narrowing her eyes. “And don’t play with me, cause’ I can tell by the way you walking that you been fucked, Ivy. Real good at that.”
I burst out laughing. “Not long.”
I shook my head, still half in disbelief. “It’s crazy, because I use to have all these thoughts and standards about what type of man I wanted to take my virginity. I was holding on to this fantasy of being in love, making it special. Girl, all shit went straight out the window with him.”
I met her gaze, my voice dropping. “I didn’t give a fuck that I’d only met him days ago. My body was craving him, screaming for him to touch it and I tried to fight it. I really did, but after a while, I gave in. I made the move on him, knowing damn well I had no clue what I was doing.”
“So, he was there the day I stopped by the shop, right?”
I gave her a smirk.
“Girl, I knew it. You were way to damn jumpy that day,” she said, shaking her head. “So, I guess the real question is… how was it?”
“When I say it was next level? Girl… were right. One time and I was hooked,” I squealed.
She leaned forward. “Wait, wait. You mean to tell me you bee?—”
“I’ve been climbing this man like a tree every chance I get. He got me addicted to him and I don’t give a damn about how toxic that sounds.”
Tori screamed, laughing. “Not little miss I want to wait for love, obsessing over dick she barely know.”
“That man got demon dick, Tori. I ain’t even ashamed to say that I wanted him to fuck me the first night... hurt, bleeding and all,” I laughed. And he knows his way around my body very well. I be laid the fuck out, questioning my whole life after.”
We doubled over cracking up like two kids who couldn’t keep a secret. Suddenly, I sat back, feeling a wavy of dizziness take over.
Tori frowned. “You good?”
“Yeah, just lightheaded. Probably because I haven’t eaten yet. I was so excited to see you, food hadn’t crossed my mind.”
She tilted her head, studying me. “Now that I think about, you do look pale as hell. Ivy, what going on with you?”
I opened my mouth, but she cut me off.
“Hold up. Y’all been using condoms, right?”
I hesitated. Mentally cursing myself, because I only remember using one, once. After that… in the heat of the moment, it slipped my mind every time. Her jaw dropped.
“Oh my God. Ivy.”
“I mean… the first time, yeah. But after that, we weren’t really thinking about it... well, I wasn’t. You know I’m not experienced with stuff like this Tori. Hell, the erotica I read even mention protection so?—”
“And that’s exactly why your hot ass shouldn’t have been fucking without calling me first,” Tori stood up. “Grab your shoes. We about to go find out. I think I passed a pharmacy not too far from here.”
“What? No. Ghost said?—”
“Ghost? You got to be fucking kidding me, Ivy Monroe. You’ve been laid up placing house with a nigga name Ghost? It’s a setup, bitch. He probably fucking your brains out just toGhostyou once he find out you’re pregnant!”
“Ghost is not his real name, Tori,” I groaned. It’s Roman…Roman Carter. Ghost is just… like his work name.”
“If you say so. But enough with all the stalling. Ghost ain’t here so what he don’t know won’t hurt him. And we’ll be quick. Come on.”
