Page 68 of What You Do To Me
“Happy birthday beautiful,” he said extending the gift in my direction.
“Thank you, Noah,” I smiled big. “You remember my sisters,” I pointed back at Chy and Star.
“Ladies,” he nodded at them both.
“You can help your—” I paused when I saw the crowd part like the Red Sea and that tall muscular frame moving in my direction. I didn’t even allow him to make it all the way to me nor did I give a fuck what I was just talking to Noah about, I flew down the steps into his arms.
“BABYYY!” I jumped in his arms. “I missed you so much!” I cried into his neck; I had my face buried there but I could feel us moving so knew that we were moving towards VIP.
“I know, I missed you more girl,” he responded after kissing my exposed shoulder. “Get down baby, let me look at you.” I shook my head no. I didn’t want to let him go. He let out a low chuckle and kissed my shoulder again. “Get down baby, your ass out and I’ma have to kill one of these niggas.”
That statement made the decision for me. I didn’t want him to hurt anyone in here and I wanted to party still. Once I was on my feet, I fixed my dress then stood on my tip toes to kiss his lips and wrapped my arms loosely around his neck.
“You look good as fuck tonight baby. Why you wear this lil’ ass piece of shiny cloth when I’m not around?” His handsome face was frowned up as he spun me around.
“Shut up Jawan, you bought this.”
“I buy everything, that’s not the point though. Wear this shit when you go out with me, Ma. Unless you want another body added to your list,” he raised his brows.
Just the thought of him killing those men had my palms sweaty and my heart rate increasing. When I made eye contactwith him again, he had a stupid smirk on his face because he knew it bothered me that he could take a life so easily. I rolled my eyes and turned to go get another drink when I ran into Noah.
“Always running into each other.” Noah smiled as he caught me from falling.
I returned the smile and also let out a small laugh because we were always running into one another. The thoughts of our first encounter were quickly interrupted when I was snatched away, and Noah was pushed on to his ass.
“Aye, my nigga, fuck is you holding on to my bitch like that for?” Jawan gritted.
Quickly trying to intervene, I put my hand on Jawan’s face to make him look at me, “No baby, he didn’t mean any harm. This is my friend from school.” I would have reached to help Noah stand but I was afraid of how Jawan might react to that.
“Friend?” he frowned deeper. “Naw, you got me fucked up. You got one fuckin’ friend and he damn sure ain’t it. The fuck you mean?”
Noah stood to his feet and dusted himself off while watching Jawan the entire time. “Look, my man I?—”
“I ain’t ya fuckin’ man, my nigga,” Jawan cut him off.
Chuckling, Noah corrected himself. “Aight,Grim,” he sarcastically started, “I didn’t mean any disrespect. Tiomi and her girls invited me to the party, and I didn’t want to be rude and decline. There’s nothing going on with me and your wife.”
“Oh, I know that because ain’t either one of y’all stupid,” Jawan arrogantly responded. “Just keep your fuckin’ hands and eyes off minemy mans.” With me tucked under one of his arms he bumped into Noah and pushed us further into the VIP area. I turned and mouthed ‘I’m sorry’to Noah and he offered a head nod and a smirk as he went in the opposite direction. Once Jawan took a seat he pulled me into his lap.
“Did you have to do all of that baby?”
“Tiomi don’t piss me off aight? I’m not about to discuss that clown ass nigga. Niggas know better than to play in my face like that and you do, too. Smiling and shit. I should have put one in his head right in front of your stupid ass,” he huffed. As crazy as it may sound, I loved when his jealousy seeped out.
“Aww baby. You know I don’t want anybody but you,” I said as I kissed all over his face.
“Yeah, because you ain’t ready to die. I missed the fuck out of your pretty ass though baby,” he said before kissing my lips. “Let’s go to Shad’s office right quick.”
Shaking my head, no, I stood up. “No sir. We have all night for that.”
Jawan grabbed my hand, pulled me back down into his lap and bit my earlobe. “And I need all night. Let’s go.”
He stood to his feet and grabbed my hand and we started to move around the section, bidding everyone farewells. “But baby this is supposed to be my birthday party,” I whined.
“Girl fuck this party; I need to be inside of you like yesterday. These muhfuckas ain’t nobody. Them ones you took out my safe, I’ma fuck you right on top of them after you dance for me.”
I bit my bottom lip at the visual, Jawan was always on some kinky shit. “Well, in that case, lead the way.”
