Rose Cut

Breakfast

We finally stumbled to my apartment and I was silently thanking my nosy ass for leaving the door open.

" This way. " I told Jamir as I guided him towards my guest bedroom. The sheets in there were gray so I didn't mind messing them up. I laid him as gently as I could since he was taller than me. He grimaced but didn't complain.

I admired him for that but, kept quiet as I busied myself with getting all the supplies I needed. I went into my closet and grabbed a leather belt and lastly. I washed my hands and grabbed the first aid kit out the bathroom with some shears in it.

Jamir breathes came out measured and slow. I sat next to him and started cutting his shirt. Halfway through he finally spoke.

" Just couldn't wait to get me out of my clothes." He grunted in between breathes. I ignored him and focused on cutting through his blood soaked shirt. "So your not speaking now? " He asked, irritation slick in his voice.

Why should I speak when he hasn't even looked my way til now. He muttered women in Spanish making me giggle. He returned my smile but, his face contorted in pain. I could see the wound now and it wasn't bad but, it wasn't good either.

I was use to this. So I kept my face neutral and started sterilizing the needles. Since he needed stitches. I didn't see the bullet but, there wasn't an exit wound. So I knew I had to get it out. His red skin was bruised, so I gently placed my hand on his abdomen.

The hole was on his side. Jamir strained to give me access to it. I grabbed the alcohol and we exchanged a look before he closed his eyes and braced himself. I poured the alcohol ignoring his silent swears as his body became rigid but, relaxed once again.

I passed him the belt and watched him nod and bite down, as I quickly pushed a finger in to find the bullet. He groaned biting hard but, I already had the tongs in the hole gripping the bullet. Once it was out. I stopped the bleeding and cleaned the area as I began to stitch him up.

I was now covered in his blood. Up to my elbows but, I neatly finished and patched him up. I left out to clean up a bit. I came back with a glass of water and two hydros. I had changed into my house shorts and crop top after the quickest shower ever.

Jamir was half sleep but, I could tell he was in pain. He felt my weight on the bed and his eyes popped open. I helped prop him up and handed him the pills and water. I watched him take it and place the empty glass down.

We just looked at each other for a minute, before I broke eye contact and started cleaning up. I can't believe Jamir was here in my apartment. I had already made up my mind to help him but, my decision just caught up with me. He was now shirtless with only some charcoal joggers on and his Jordans.

I averted my eyes and rushed out the room to get a warm rag and a shirt. I liked to sleep naked so I had big shirts to spare. I came back to him watching me with the bowl of warm water and rag. I sat down slowly and placed the bowl on the night stand with the glass. I dipped the rag in the water and ranged it out, before I started to clean him up. He sighed clearly still in pain but more relaxed.

" You've done this before. " He stated. His velvety voice sending chills down my spine. I nodded and kept to my work avoiding his eyes. I saw him move as he lifted my chin to look at him and leaned up.

" Thank you. " his lips spoke because, I wasn't listening to him anymore. All I could think about was how close we were, with his hand on my face and his lips oh so close. I bit my lip.

" Talk to me Rosalina. " said Jamir with a hint of his accent slipping through on my name. I blushed a little before finally speaking up. " de nada. " I whispered. He nodded and laid back down relaxing more. " Do you got any henny? " he asked once he was comfortable.

I finished up and passed him the shirt. I cleaned up and left to get him a drink. I found a half of bottle of henny. Sitting down at the foot of the bed I passed him the bottle. He turned the bottle up and took a bunch of gulps practically finishing the bottle.

" So how you know how to stitch people back up. " he asked again. Wiping his mouth. I sighed. " I was taught. " I answered.

" Damn, that's all I get. " he snapped. I looked up to see him mugging. " you are soo nosey. " I replied. He sat up and scooted next to me.

" Your one to talk. Your all in my business tonight. " he retorted. I giggled. " And it's a good thing I am. " I paused for a minute. I could feel him watching me but, I didn't mind.

" A woman named Cora taught me. " I said finally answering his question. He nodded and stroked his chin.

" I heard about Cora. I met her a few times. " he said making me tense up. " I searched his face our eyes meeting again before he continued. " So you must be in some serious s**t outside of doing hair, if you know her. " He commented.

"Not at all. So tell me what happened to you? " I asked switching subjects. " So your gonna give me that dry ass response but, expect a nigga to fill you in. I appreciate the help but, if you wanna know about me. I need to know you. I'm trying to get to know you Rose. " He said fully turning towards me.

I saw him flinch but, he ignored the pain. " For some reason you pop up right when I need it. " I froze hanging on his words. " I can't help but feel like it's for a reason. So I want to know you l. And not that tough girl s**t you put on either. " he finished with a smile.

I noticed he didn't have his golds in and he had some pretty teeth. " What do you wanna know. " I asked him as he gave me space and scooted back into his original spot. He got real comfortable before answering me. " Just talk. It takes my mind off of it and my ears are open."

" Well. . . " I paused gathering my thoughts. Jamir was patient though. He finished the bottle and texted someone making me think of Priscilla. " where is she?" I asked out loud. He gave me a look but, answered me anyway. " She's with a trusted friend of mine. I told em I was stepping out about 2 hours ago."

" what were you doing tonight Jamir? " I asked cautiously. "What do you think I was doing?" he said seriously. All kinds of thoughts ran through my head but, I thought of me and Priscilla's conversation a while back.

" Bad things?" I said to him m. He grinned mischievously but nodded. I was curious and wanted to know more but, decided I could tell him something. Once I started it just felt good to get it out.

" I was 15 when I met Cora. She was kind at first but stern. " I checked to see if he was listening and he was watching me of course. So I continued. " She took me to this 4 bedroom house. I remember because, it had this gold brick walk way."

" Made me think of The Wizard of Oz. " I laughed dryly but, got serious again. " At first she had me reading medical books, and then she got me the props to practice with. " I closed my eyes taking in a breath.

" She would always congratulate me as I got better. Said I was a natural. " I peeped over to see his eyes closed but he opened them when I stopped talking. "After my 16th birthday. Cora told me I had to earn my keep. Said I had to do my part. " I sighed and laid down next to him to stare at the ceiling. I thought she meant to get a job but, she already had one for me . . . "

******************************************************

" ROSALINA!!! " shouted Ms. Cora from the basement. I jumped. Dropping the Anatomy book I was reading on my way to my room. Ms. Cora sounded frantic so I rushed towards her voice, leaving the book where it fell. " Yes ma'am. " I called out heading downstairs.

I opened the door to the basement to be blinded by bright lights. There was a wet gurgling sound, getting louder as I descended the stairs. " Hurry up child! " she commanded. I sped up but, stopped in my tracks on the last step. I gasped at the sight of a slender woman lying on an embalming table, with her throat being held closed by Ms. Cora's blood drenched hands. The woman eyes were white but her chest rose and fell quickly.

" Stop staring and GET YO ASS OVER HERE! " she snapped jumpstarting my feet. I walked over slowly but kept my distance. " Get out the tools little girl. You know what to do. " she spoke trying to stop the bleeding.

I was frozen, gaping at the poor woman. There was a medical bag on the table next to Ms. Cora but, I couldn't bring myself to move. I felt a hand crack across my face, knocking me on the ground.

I tasted blood but it wasn't mine. My cheek burned from the pain of the slap, as blood dripped from the handprint down my neck. I sobbed and tears came. " Oh , none of that. You're gonna do your part. Ya hear me. Grab her neck so I can do this. We're losing her and I don't lose patients. " Said Ms. Cora impatiently.

I scrambled up, quieting my sobs as I tearfully assisted Ms. Cora. She had to stitch up the woman, since I couldn't stop my hands from shaking. . . "

*********************************************************

" The woman died anyway but, Cora said I needed the practice." I said to Jamir as I finished reminiscing. I felt better getting to talk about it, instead of burying it. I looked to check the time and saw Jamir now asleep.

It was 4:00 in the morning and I had to admit I was tired too. I scooted to the top of the bed to where he laid, and moved as close as I could get without touching him. " Thank you for listening. " I whispered closing my eyes and letting sleep take me.

I awoke to my phone ringing. I opened my eyes to see me now laying on Mir's chest with his arm around me. I jerked up agitating his side waking him. He sat up abruptly grabbing his side as my phone finally stopped ringing.

Jamir mugged me a little before he relaxed. " Let me get some more painkillers? " said Jamir trying to get comfortable again. " you need to eat first. " I said getting out of bed and grabbing my phone. It was Dorian calling me and I had 2 missed calls from him and a bunch of texts too.

I rolled my eyes as I stretched . I didn't feel like his s**t but, I did forget to call him, and there was Jamir being here. I could understand it and I would be considerate of his side of things.

" Make a nigga some breakfast then. " Jamir demanded, snapping me out my thoughts of Dorian; as if to remind me of his presence. I raised my eyebrow at his rude ass and didn't pay him no attention as I headed out the room. " Por Favor! " he shouted behind me making me giggle.

I felt lighter this morning and I noticed I didn't have any nightmares. I guess talking about it did help. Or maybe it was the extra company.

I walked into my master bathroom and started my morning hygiene. After brushing my teeth my phone started ringing again. I answered it knowing that it was probably Dorian calling.

" WHERE THE f**k ARE YOU! " I snatched the phone from my ear almost instantly. His voice boomed over the receiver. I went to sit on my bed as my iPhone buzzed from his unnecessary loudness.

"Cállate maldita! " I snapped at him when I could get a word in. " I get it and I apologize but, your not about to talk to me all kinds of ways. " I snapped back at him. Dorian has been getting out of hand lately. He's so controlling.

I laid down as he went on and on about Me disrespecting him, and how I was his woman and needed to corrected my bullshit. I would have interrupted but, I was distracted as Jamir walked smoothly into my room. He didn't look hurt but, he was determined to look for those pills.

We made eye contact as he strolled over to my dresser where I left the bottle of pills. I sat up and pulled the phone away as I mouthed " eat first. " He nodded and took two hydros dry. I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed.

" Rose! ARE YOU f*****g LISTENING! " Dorian shouted.

" Okae! Goodness I hear you. " I responded irritated. I felt a hand wrap around my ankle, before I was yanked to the end of the bed. My legs dangled off the edge as I propped up on my elbows to stare at Jamir.

Dorian was still going off but, I could barely hear him with the way Jamir was looking at me. He pushed me back down as he came to stand in between my legs. My eyes widen as he bent down to nibble across my stomach, around my navel to the other side and back.

I was wet as hell as I bit my lips. I let go of my phone, it was already forgotten as I lifted his head making him look at me. "What are you doing? " I asked, my voice coming out in a whisper. He gave me this sexy smile before sliding off my shorts. " Breakfast. " He breathed against my skin as he trailed butterfly kisses up and down my inner thighs, as he skipped over my kitty everytime making me squirm.

My mind was racing but, I was so turned on I didn't wanna think. I was so wet you could see me soaking the sheets. "Damn, she's pretty. " he said while I sighed as I felt him blow on my pearl. I was soo happy I had a wax not to long ago.

His tongue felt like silk as he trailed it up and down my slit slurping up all my juices . I moaned squeezing him with my thighs. I played and gripped his curly hair as his tongue danced on my pleasure. My moans got louder and louder as he teased me to my breaking point.

I was on cloud nine when I felt him slide his fingers in searching for my spot. He knew he had me when my back arched and I cried out. I never experienced pleasure like this. I mean yes, i've had s*x but, it didn't feel close to this. I felt my climax coming so I pushed his head down and he gladly devoured me.

I finally let go and fell apart. Jamir sucked and slurped everything till I was sensitive. I tried to buck and wiggle away as my legs shook and another one ripped through me. I relaxed exhausted as he stood and wiped his mouth. He went into the bathroom and came back with a warm rag .

He cleaned me up as I watched him unable to really move just yet. That was actually my first orgasm that I didn't give myself and it was only head. I was shocked and didn't know what to say. Jamir took the rag back into the bathroom but, stood by my room door and watched me. I stared back and he began to chuckle.

" Well. I'll see you around Rose." He said turning to leave as if nothing happened. " Or should I call you Peaches? " He winked as I blushed turning red. " Thank you for Breakfast. " he said on his way to let himself out. I heard the door close and rolled over to look at the ceiling.

" Did that just happen?" I said out loud. I was in shock, I couldn't believe it. Jamir knows just how to shake things up on me. He had me at his mercy but, I had to say I liked it. Just then, I remembered I was on the phone with Dorian.

I scrambled for my phone and sighed with relief that he hung up on me. I was upset he tried to bang on me but, was grateful he didn't hear what just went on. I haven't even let Dorian in. He always drops me off and I only kiss him. I've been debating on when to bring s*x into our relationship and immediately felt guilty for actually cheating on him. The worse part was , If it was with Jamir. . .

I'd gladly do it again. . . . . .
