Roommates

Khalil and Michael pull up to Dan house.

"You know if anyone else stay with him?" Khalil asked. He was beyond heated. Jayla wasn't his girl but it was clear he had feelings towards her. And the fact that a man, had the nerve to hit her was mind blowing.

"Naw he by himself. Let's go" Micheal said. The men jumped out the car and walked to Dan's door. Khalil banged on the door and seconds later, Dan opened it.

"Who the f**k are y'all? "

Khalil and Michael ignored his question and pushed their way inside. "Have a seat Dan, this may take awhile" Micheal said.

Dan was about to protest, but Khalil pushed him towards the couch while Micheal locked the front door and went to see if anyone else was in the house.

"Iight we good. Dan, we gonna ask you a few questions. Answer them honestly and we'll leave. Lie, you get dealt with and we stay until we find out the truth ok? Iight cool" Micheal said. The men sat across from Dan who appeared to be physically shaking.

"You know a Jayla Watkins right?" Micheal asked. Dan nodded quickly. "Now did you or did you not hit her?"

"No I didn't. Is that what she told you? That b***h is lying" Dan said becoming more comfortable on the couch. Khalil clenched his teeth. "I bet she also said I harass her. I'm not gonna lie, I would love a taste of that. She got a body on her and I would treat her right, forreal" Dan smiled to himself thinking of the things he would do to Jayla.

Khalil stood up and started pacing. Khalil is known for his anger issues and not being able to control it, which is why he takes pills.

Well, used too.

"Damn Jayla, Jayla, Jayla" Dan said shaking his head. Khalil walked towards Dan and began hitting him in his face repeatedly. At first, Micheal did nothing because Dan deserved it. But once blood was seen, Micheal jumped in.

"Khalil let's go. He ain't worth it" Micheal said. Khalil continued to punch Dan. "We have to go check on Jayla bruh, let's go" Khalil stopped hitting Dan and grabbed him by his coller.

"I better not hear anything about to touching, hitting or talking to Jayla. If you even look in her direction and stare to long, I will be back. Keep this to yourself or I will be back. This isn't a threat but a promise. Understand?" Khalil asked.

Dan nodded and Khalil let him go. Kahlil and Micheal left Dan's house. Micheal dropped Khalil off at the house and drove home.

Khalil walked in the kitchen to get some ice then walked into his room. He took a shower, then laid down in the dark. A few minutes later, there was a knock at his room door. Jayla walked in wearing a sports bra and yellow boy shorts.

"Khalil, are you sleep?" she asked softly.

"Naw ma" he answered. Jayla walked in and sat on the foot of his bed.

"What happen with Dan? What did y'all do?"

"Nothing you need to worry about. He won't be messing with you anymore but I want you to quit your job. I'm not asking or telling. I'm demanding" Jayla shook her but agreed.

"How am I gonna pay my half of rent or buy food?"

"I got that. Don't worry about it, come here" Jayla crawled into his bed and landed on his swollen hand. "Ahh s**t" he said. Jayla jumped up and turned the light on. She looked at his hand and saw how swollen it was.

"Oh my gosh, Khalil what happen?" she said looking at his hand. Khalil didn't answer her question, but she already know. "Did you kill him?"

"Naw I wanted to, but I didn't" Jayla nodded.

"Iight well goodnight Khalil" Jayla kissed his forehead and started walking towards the door until Khalil called her.

"Sleep with me tonight"

"Uhh I don't think that's a good idea"

"And why not?" he asked.

"We barely know each other" she answered.

"Jay really? We spent time together and we told each other everything. I'm not trying to f**k you, I just want to hold u that's it. Why is that so wrong?"

"It's not" she said lowly.

"Ok, then come here" She hesitated and didn't know if she should really lay with him. Sleeping in the same bed with him didn't really bother her, but when he said he wanted to hold her that's when she began to become nervous. "Jayla, please" Khalil said looking at her. She walked towards the bed and layed under the covers. "Come back some" he said. She scooted back towards him and he wrapped his arm around her waist tight.

Jayla has never been so close to a man before. The way Khalil was holding her close and tight, like he was afraid to let go. The way he would look at her, like she was the only girl in the world. She loved it.

She relaxed and cuddled closer into Khalil.

"How come you never had a boyfriend Jay?" he asked. Jayla turned around so she was facing him.

"You know why. Never had time cause I was always focused on school"

"Hypothetically speaking, what if I wanted to be something more than just friends? I mean, when we together we laugh and joke around. We have fun you feel me? I got feelings for you and I think you are beyond beautiful and I just love being around you in general"

"Well if you wanted to be something more, you know hypothetically speaking, I would like to try and see where it goes. But we would have to go slow cause it would be new to me. It's clear I have feelings for you too, just don't know how to act on them. Hypothetically speaking" she said smiling a little. Khalil chuckled and pulled Jayla close by her waist.

"Iight so we on the same page. We can go as slow as u want. So Jayla, will you be my girl?"

"Yea I would love to" Khalil smiled along with Jayla before leaning in and softy kissing her.

He has wanted to feel her lips against his for so long, and now that it's happening he feels something he never felt before.

Their lips moved in sync and became more intense as Khalil pulled her closer. A knock at the door brought them back to reality. They continued to kiss then pecked lips a few times before Khalil answered.

"Yea man" Khalil said aggravated. It was quite for awhile before the person answered.

"Uh tell Jayla I'm leaving. I got class tomorrow" Mya yelled through the door. Jayla began to kiss Khalil again and grabbed the back of his neck to deepen the kiss. Khalil began rubbing on her ass remembering she only had on boy shorts and a bra. "Hello, Khalil? You heard me boy?" Mya yelled.

"Yea bruh leave" he said against Jayla's lips. After a few more seconds they stop kissing and cuddled together before falling asleep entangled with each other.
