Chapter  10

I was still in shock about what they guys had told me. Could he really be shy like they said? I have seen his sweet side and his I’m the shit side. But could it all be a front for insecurities he might have deep down inside. I was not sure of what to think so I started to pack up my things.

I was coming back tomorrow as things were going great with the calendar and I was on schedule at the moment. But did I really have time to waste on a guy right now. I must be honest with myself and admit that I like talking to him on the phone at night. He seems to be more relaxed and genuine with me.

Maybe the guys are right?

Blaise POV

I went looking for Alia since I knew it would be time to leave soon. She at least did 3 guys today. But that just got her closer to her goal and farther away from me. I frown, thinking of not talking to her again. Not being around her anymore. No, that was not acceptable. But I don’t think I have the guts to tell her I have fallen in love with her. I love her strength and the fact that once her mind in set there is no changing it.

She is persistent and tenacious and well I love every part of that sassy yet smart woman. She has this sexiness about her that she doesn’t even realize how the guys were all bending over backwards to please her. But I have to gather all my strength and well, finally be me and put myself out there.

I’ll start by inviting her out to the club with us tonight. If she says yes, I’ll at least be able to hold her in my arms tonight and smell her skin as she’s close to me. I had my eyes closed and was lost in my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I didn’t have to open my eyes to know that it was her. “Are you ready to go?” She asked looking at me in a strange way.

“I smiled at her “sure, would you like to have a late lunch with me?” I asked her.

She smiled back and looked a little shy “sure” she said and I grabbed her bag and we walked out together. As I placed my hand on the small of her back, happy it at least made me feel like I had some dibs on her. We walked out and the guys looked on. They all know I had feelings for her. But no matter how much advice they gave me. I was still not able to grave the bull by the horns and just come out and tell her.

We went to eat hot dogs; I wanted this to be a non tension lunch. I just wanted to enjoy being around her without fighting. We had been doing a lot of that when we were together. It was only on the phone that I was able to be myself. When I didn’t have her near me, when I wasn’t looking at her eyes or mouth or hands. Picturing then running all over my body.

Holy shit, I better stop this train of thought. Because I was getting hard again and this was not the place for that.  “So um, we are taking Sebastian to the club his parents own tonight. I was wondering if you would like to go with me.” I held my breath waiting for her answer.

She smiled and her cheeks pinked “um I’m not sure. But I will talk to my cousins. If they go with me I will meet you there.’ She said non committal; then again it wasn’t a no.

I smiled wide “better than nothing” I said as I raised my coke to her. She smiled and we continued talking.

“Hey did I tell you Scott if having dinner at Uncle Victor’s house tonight. Giselle was so made when she found out.” She told me and I laughed.

“Oh believe me Scott was not happy at all either.” I told her and we continued to talk. I then had her drop me off at home and I called the boys to make sure we were still on for tonight. I had to call Scott and tell him Giselle wasn’t happy he was going over.

“Damn that woman I had a hard time sleeping last night since I was still pissed off.” Scott said as I laughed at him through the phone.

“How are things coming along with Alia man? Grow a pair and ask her out already. With all this time you have been hanging around her and talking to her. It’s like you’re already dating anyways. Just ask for the commitment.” Scott said.

Well holy shit, if that don’t beat all. I’m the one wanting a commitment. I laughed and Scott caught on to my train of thought. “Does this make you the bitch in the relationship?” he asked through his chuckles.

“Well, damn I guess it does” I hung up and went to check my closet for what to wear. It was then that I realized I had forgotten all about Monique. I didn’t remember her still being at the station. I wonder if she left with Carter. I like the kid, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her as happy as I’ve seen her when she’s with him.

I guess I had spoken to soon about liking the kid. The next thing I know Monique’s door opens and carter strolls out in his underwear scratching his stomach. My eyes grew wide as I felt the familiar anger run its way through my body as he stopped and locked eyes with me.

“You little mother fucker” I yelled as I charged at him.

“It’s not what you think” He says as he runs back in the room and locks the door. I start to pound on it.

“Get your skinny little ass out here. You defiler of little girls” I yell as I try to break the door down.

“I am a woman not a little girl” Monique yells at me through the door.

“I am going to kick his ass for using you” I yelled still trying to break the door down.

“I love her man; I would never use her like that.”  He yells at me.

“Oh Carter I love you too” I hear her tell him and it sounded like they were kissing. “Get the fuck off my sister.” I yell out again pounding on the door.

Next thing I know there is a pounding on my front door and Alia is standing there looking all out of breath. “Monique called and said you were going to kill Carter.” She says trying to still catch her breath.

“Your fucking cousin deflowered my sister” I yell at her.

“First off do not scream that out like that” she said looking around making sure no one heard. She pushed me inside and I followed her as she went to sit down. “Secondly, if you yell at me again like that I will kick your ass.”  How can such a little thing like her not be scared of me?

“Lastly, they are in love. Do you know the meaning of that word? He wanted to be with her in every way possible. When people love each other they express it through the connection of the mind as well as the body” She tells me and I am looking at her not believing she is trying to give me the birds and the bees talk.

“Carter, Monique, get out here.’” She tells them and they come out of the room. Thank God fully clothed.

“I’m sorry Blaise but I love him.” Monique says as Carter hugs her to him.

“I love your sister man. I don’t want to sneak around anymore. She deserves better than that.” He tells me and my jaw is ready to shatter my teeth I was clenching it so tightly.

“Stop gritting your teeth Blaise. It’s bad for them” Alia said as she grabbed my hand and squeezed it. “Now be happy for your sister.”  She said to me and then I remembered why she was here in the first place.

“I am not happy about this. But it’s not my call but yours. If you think he was the one then good for you but I don’t have to like it.” I said as I looked at Carter.

“We still cool then?” Carter asked as he came closer to me. I held myself in check since all I wanted to do was bash his face in.

“Yeah sure” I said as I went into my room and slammed the door.

I could hear Alia tell them not to worry that my bark was worse than my bite.  I was mad as hell now. I’ll show her how bad my bite can be. I thought as I hopped in the shower then came out and got dressed for the club. When I came out she was gone and Carter and Monique were cuddles watching TV.

“Where are you going?” asked Monique.

“To get the guys, we are going to the club”

“Oh, Carter lets go” she tells him and he kissed her and I almost gagged, so I left.

I was hopping Alia would show up so she could see just how much I could bite.
