Rose Cut

Anxious

Jamir

This was the second time I called Rosalina and I was starting to get anxious. I paced back and forth in my office at the tattoo shop. I was running over a few things with Meanor but, something didn't feel right.

" Mir! " snapped ShaMilla sitting on the couch with a sleeping Priscilla in her lap. " Huh? " I answered sluggishly. I stopped pacing to see her laughing at me.

" Dude. I called you like a hundred times. " she chuckled, moving Scilla to lay on the couch. ShaMilla walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Whats up with you?" she asked, and I shook my head. " Nothing. " I answered but, she just gave me a look.

"You know you can't lie to me Jamir. " said ShaMilla. " Go ahead and check on her. I got little mama and ill close the shop up. " said Meanor with a smile.

"You sure? " I questioned her. ShaMilla always has my back but, I didn't want her to think I was loosing it over one girl.

"Get out of here stupid." she answered, smacking me in my head. "We will be at the loft. I'll grab Kailey on the way." said Meanor, as I nodded my head and grabbed my keys. It was late as hell but, I was going to Rosalina's loft to see what was up with her.

About 15 minutes later, I was pulling in my usual spot and I noticed seeing Rose's car on the way in. So she must be home. I took the elevator to her floor and damn near jogged to the door.

" Yo, i'm bugging. " I whispered to myself rubbing my head. I took a deep breathe and tried her phone again. Of course she didn't answer but, I could have sworn I heard something in there.

I Knocked a couple times and waited. I wasn't impatient but, it felt like forever went by standing outside her door. Fed up, I picked the lock and opened the door; only for it to stop on the chain lock.

"Rose? " I called out into the opening, as I connected the silencer to my .40 caliber. I aimed perfectly and shot the chain letting myself in. I kept my gun raised and stalked further into the Loft, letting the door close behind me. So far everything seemed fine but, I kept my guard up.

The only light came from inside the master bedroom, so I checked there first. The light was actually in the bathroom, and there were objects scattered all over the place. I saw money on the ground and rushed in to see a blonde haired woman in the tub holding herself.

" Rosalina? " I called to the woman lowering my gun. She didn't move but, her shoulders shook showing that she was crying. I walked closer to see it was Rose but, she wasn't her self. I sat on the ground next to the tub across from her, where I could see her face.

" Whats wrong? " I asked her waiting for a response. Rose didn't move, so I leaned forward and lifted her chin. Her lips quivered as her green eyes sparkled with fresh tears. "What. Happened?" I said pushing for information. Rose watched me for a moment, as I sat quietly waiting to hear what she would tell me.

Her breath hitched as she lifted her hand out of the water and wiped her hair from her face. She jumped seeing the color but, rolled her eyes after remembering something. Finally she turned to me and spoke.

" I give up. " she said, her voice cracking. Rose started falling apart again but, I wasn't bouta watch her cry.

I stood and searched the large room for a towel. I found one and pulled her out of the tub and into my lap. I wrapped her soft curves in the towel, trying not to focus on the fact that she was naked, and getting me wet. I didn't care though, I just couldn't let her cry.

" Rose. " I said, getting her attention. We made eye contact as I lift her chin to hold her eyes. "Tell me whats going on Ma. I'm freaking out over here." I chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. Even vulnerable she was beautiful but, it wasn't the Rose I knew and cared for. She took a deep breath and began to tell me everything.

How she was r***d at a young age and lost the baby by that same man who r***d her. She was in a hospital for months before Cora took her in. After she escaped from there she came here to start over. The more she talked, the more she relaxed. She wasn't shaking anymore but, laid relaxed in my arms.

She snuggled up to me but, I didn't mind. I ran my fingers up and down her legs just letting her talk. Processing everything she was telling me. Rosalina was a survivor. Every step she took, something was against her but, she kept going. I would have never known she'd been through so much.

Rose was me telling about Dorian and how they met. It made my blood boil to know that he was using her. I knew that the only reason Dorian and Apollo wanted Slayed Life, was to cover their own tracks.

If Sharon signs it over to them. She will end up with nothing. Not to mention the big crime lord Knox, was actually Andre. Dorian's father and a r****t.

I shook my head as I tried to adjust to the new information. There was only one week left, before ShaMilla and I's plan to take over. With Dorian and Apollo framing me, I can turn them all against each other.

Knox doesn't know its his son that's working against him. I smirked thinking of a new plan and I couldn't wait to tell Meanor.

"I slept with him." stated Rose. She was watching me but ,waiting for me to say something. "I can't believe it but I did." she continued closing her eyes.

" Hey don't do that. " I told her shaking her just a little. " Look at me. " I said turning her face towards mine. Finally, she listened and at that moment. I noticed Freckles decorated her face.

I froze thinking back to our conversation in Waffle House. She tried to tell me but, I wouldn't listen. I shook myself mentally for getting sidetracked. Everything else could wait.

Apollo, Dorian, and ShaMilla would have to wait. I had to make sure she was straight.

"You didn't know who he was and it doesn't matter." I spoke up, breaking the silence. "Long as you keep pushing through, they have no power over you l. Feel me." I reassured her but, she had this unsure look in her eyes.

"Rosalina, you are strong and you got me. Don't give up m. ight." I said more forceful, as she nodded giving me a weak smile.

I checked my watch to see it was about 3 in the morning. "It's waay past your bed time." I joked, as I scooped her up, and carried her bridal style out of the bathroom, and into the Bed room.

Rose giggled a little before hopping down and clutching the towel. "Thank you Mir." she whispered, not meeting my eyes. "Your welcome Peaches." I chuckled and she rolled her eyes but smiled.

Rose smile dropped as her eyebrows creased with worry. "Would you stay? " She asked in a whisper. I sucked my teeth and went to sit on the bed.

I took off my jordans and patted the spot next to me. "I don't know how you thought I was leaving." I answered.

"I was worried about you tonight, and after everything I just heard. I'm not about to leave you alone no time soon, and thats my word. " I told her after she came to sit down. I stood up and stripped out my layers. I folded my black joggers and Black t-shirt up and went to get in the bed with just my boxers and undershirt.

Rose snatched up the shirt I just took off and put it on dropping the towel. The shirt stopped at her knees but, I already saw everything I wanted to see. She crawled into the bed and snuggled back on my chest. I just draped an arm across her, and rubbed her til she fell asleep.

Later that morning . . .

I woke up spooning with Rose. I tried to ease off of her but, my morning wood was not helping at all, and every time I moved away she followed me. Rose started to stretch waking up.

I took my chance and readjusted myself before she noticed. She was still wearing my shirt and It slipped up enough to show her plump ass. I groaned thinking about dead puppies and Priscilla.

I wanted Rose but, I didn't want her to put me in with Dorian. It wasn't just the s*x I wanted, but at this moment I was with whatever.

"Morning." she yawned smiling sweetly. Her eyes were a little red from crying but, she looked much better than she did last night. " Morning Peaches . " I chuckled as she joined in laughing with me.

"What happened to LEENA." she joked exaggerating her accent.

"I like peaches better." I told her licking my lips. She caught my eyes and moved in. I let her get closer, before I pulled her in and kissed her. It started light but, I guess we both was feeling it. I deepened the Kiss, letting our tongues dance, as I shifted in between her legs, hovering over her.

I trailed kisses from her lips to her neck, and she gasped ruggedly, trying to catch her breath. She moaned and tugged at my shirt. I stopped and Looked up at her for an answer.

Our eyes met and she nodded. I let her sit up and grabbed the hem of the shirt as she raised her arms. I took it off and tossed it to the side as I took it all in. Rosalina had me going crazy just from her body. I stared lustfully at her curves in all the right places and her n*****s were pierced.

She had a couple of tattoos and I traced over them with my tongue. Rose wiggled underneath me moaning softly. I placed my erection right on her c**t grinding against her teasing as I pinned her wrists together over her head.

I took her n****e in my mouth and swirled my tongue around her piercing, as I let her go to play with the other breast. I watched her faces, as she tried to hold back her moans and I switched back. Rose arched her back struggling against me to keep still. "Your driving me crazy." she moaned breathless making my chuckle.

I stood up with her watching me and took off my shirt and boxers. Her eyes got big seeing what she had to deal with. "Relax." I said against her lips feeling her tremble. I kissed my way down her sides, avoiding her breast this time. Her body lifting up towards wherever I touched.

I laughed against her skin continuing to her thighs. I breathe over her pleasure and went to the other thigh making her restless. "Jamir." she whined wiggling. "Tell me what you want." I told her, going in for the kill.

I slurped up her juices and sucked on her sensitive button. "Ohh my Gosh. Jamir!" she cried out, pulling to get me to let up but, I wasn't stopping. I threw her legs over my shoulder. Her thighs tightening around my face, as I slipped in my finger, speeding up my pace.

She moaned out relaxing, and letting go as she came. I drunk every last drop, and licked my lips, letting her legs go. "I want it." said Rose, with lust in her voice. "I want you Jamir." she demanded, and I laid her down. "Say no more." I answered.

I lift her legs and pushed her knees to her chest. I placed myself at her entrance and slid up and down her slippery split, before pushing in. She was dripping all over me and I only had my tip in. I stroked in some more, as Rose gripped my back. "Damn. Your tight ma." I grunted biting back a moan.

Rose had a nigga feeling like a king. She felt perfect and I was gonna make this her best. I kept it slow, letting her get use to me. Rose was taking everything I was giving her. So I knew she could handle it.

I opened her legs wider, on the side of me and slid my whole length in. " s**t!" she moaned out, biting her lip. I sped up my strokes, writing my name in it. I felt her nut coming when her legs started shaking.

"OH MY GOD!" shouted a women from the doorway. "Dorinda GET OUT!!!" screamed Rosalina, snatching the cover up. I rolled out of the way, pissed the f**k off . Rose rushed in her closet cursing under her breath.

I snatched up my things and went into the bathroom. I took a cold shower for about 5 minutes. I figured that would give the women enough time to straighten things out. While I waited, I cleaned up the mess from the previous night.

The events catching back up to my memory. I headed up front and saw Dorinda sitting at the Island. She looked a little different from when I last saw her. She had cornrows and wore a navy jumper.

She was drinking a mimosa but, pretended to choke on it. She put the cup down and turn to face me. I paused a couple of steps away.

"So you do know my friend?" said Dorinda, smirking at me. I just shook my head and grinned. "Yeah, I know her pretty well." I chuckled, and she hopped down rushing over to me. "You asshole. I just caught you f*****g my best friend." she laughed, playfully punching me.

"I guess this is your complication?" questioned a grinning Dorinda, referring to when we met. I shrugged and smirked at her. "You better watch it Jamir. Rose has been through enough." she said to me getting serious. "I wanna believe your a nice guy and I do; but not if your playing my friend." she confessed. I nodded understanding what she met.

"I know, and I don't have any intentions of doing that. She's different and I wanna see where that goes." I answered honestly. I felt like I needed Dorinda to trust me. She was Rose's friend and Rose was perfect with my family.

Dorinda smiled satisfied at last. "Trust me, I have definitely seen how it goes and it is not easy to watch. Or hear. " she said, fake cringing.

"Oh, Cállate Dorinda! " snapped Rose, coming from the guest room. She was drying her hair in a towel and had different clothes on. She smiled at me, as she walked around the Island and grabbed some orange juice out of the fridge. Dorinda got back in her seat and I leaned up against the side.

"OOU sassy, good job Jamir." teased Dorinda. "Seems she got a new attitude, now that that itch got scratched." she said with a wink. I just laughed it off and shook my head at her.

Dorinda reminded me of ShaMilla when she would annoy the hell out of me. Speaking of which. I had to put her up on game. I tuned back into the conversation, right when Rose started fussing.

"I told your ass about just walking in like that!" Rose complained, as Dorinda rolled her eyes. "Well b***h, you should try locking and closing doors if you want that to be successful." Dorinda retorted, while cleaning her already clean nails. "Besides the lock wasn't on it." she corrected.

"Yes it was. I locked the door last night." argued Rose . Seeing her with Blonde hair wasn't so bad, but the freckles were hard to miss. I kept thinking it was too good to be true.

"As great as this conversation sounds. I gotta head out." I spoke up, before they could really go at it. "What do you have planned to do today Rosalina?" I asked.

"Nothing really. I just have to stop by Ms. Sharon's. "she answered me and I nodded."Okae, finish drying your hair. Your coming with me today and I'll take you over there." I told her, meaning what I said about not leaving her alone.

"I don't think so! " stressed Dorinda, hoping out of her seat. "You are not standing me up again. " she whined, pouting at Rose. "You could go Jamir. I'll take her over there ." she said, grabbing her purse and heading out.

" Damn Dorinda.Why you gotta make things difficult." I told her in a serious tone.

"She's my friend. So let her choose. " said Dorinda, as we both turned to her for an answer. Rose chewed on her lip for a moment, before crossing her arms.

"How do y'all two know each other?" she questioned us. I looked at Dorinda, since it was more so her story to tell. She looked nervous playing with her fingers. "He works with Dorian and Apollo, and I met Jamir at Apollo's house. " she spoke up.

It pissed me off that she was explaining my business and not why she was there. Rose was looking at me confused and a little angry.

"You work for them?" she questioned me, walking up on me. Dorinda moved out of the way, as Rose came to stop right in front of me. " How long before you were gonna tell me?" she snapped. rolling her eyes.

She bumped past me as she was walked into her room. I followed her into the bathroom and she paused seeing it clean.

When she saw me behind her, she tried to walk away so I grabbed her wrist. "I can't trust anyone anymore." she stressed snatching away from me. She went to the mirror and dried her hair.

I rolled my eyes and pulled her to me. "I haven't given you a reason to doubt me. Why start now?" I told her, and she sucked her teeth. "Chill." I warned her, as I wrapped my arms around her.

"Mir..." she began, but I interrupted. "I don't work with them. It's complicated." I said. "I promise I'll explain but, we gotta get moving." I spoke, lifting her chin to me. "Trust me?" I asked her, raising my brow. She nodded and I kissed her before walking her back to the living room.

"Better?" Dorinda asked cautiously. I gave her a look but, nodded. "You can take her over there and I'll come back and get her. " I explained, as everyone headed out the door.

"What the f**k happened to the chain?" questioned Rose, as she picked it up from the ground. I laughed and she looked at me. "I told you I was worried." I chuckled shrugging.

She smiled and shook her head. We were all standing in the hall while Rose locked what she could. "Uhm, Jamir." Rose spoke up, as we got in the elevator. "I think you should come to Sharon's ." she said confusing me.

"Oh hell no Rosae." argued Dorinda. "Chill Rinda. You can still take me but, he needs to be there." she explained.

"Need?" I questioned. "Yeah." she nodded. " Do you remember what I told you on my birthday?" she asked me, as I looked at her freckles. I nodded, not sure where she was going with this.

"I think you should hear it for yourself." she said, walking off the elevator towards Dorinda's car. I think it was about time I had a conversation with Ms. Sharon. I needed to hear what she told Rose. I headed for my car and got in. I pulled out the garage and headed for slayed life.
