More Than Friends With Benefits

Bella leaned her cheek against the steel she had just knocked on, it felt cool against her skin as she waited, she heard the lock being undone at the other end. Pulling her cheek away, the door slid open.  "Bella" "Hey Dean" Bella wiped her eyes trying to gather herself. She  thought her brother would have been the one to answer the door,. Insight it was silly not to have expected Dean, her brother's best friend and roommate to answer the door too, Dean and her brother Marcus had met since their first year in high school and has been paddies from then on, he has brought Dean to the house two months before Bella's tenth year birthday and from then on he has become a member of the family. Dean's eyes wrinkled in corners "Bella what happened? "He looked past her trying to figure out if the source of her pains was behind her, unable to find anything he ushered her in closing the door behind them and stood there staring at her quizzically " Bella say something, did something happen with…homeboy? "Bella yanked at the sleeves of her hoodie, extending it over her fingers. She seemed focused on the task as she nodded. "I had to end it.., I wasn't…it needed to end" She rubbed roughly. her eyes to stop her ending stream of tears, She looked towards the stairs and asked "is Marcus upstairs?" "He is away at a conference." Her shoulders dropped. Bella was trying to show a brave face but she needed her elderly brother's love., "Talk to me, I know I'm not Marcus but I promise you his advice is always from me. I taught him basically the things he knows". She cut her eyes at him skeptically, Dean forged hurt and clutched his hands to his chest, "You know what normally I would just kick you out and run to my room to cry and play " Unbreak my heart playlist.., But i'm gonna push my pains aside and be there for you" He bowed his head towards her "you are welcome"  She stared at him and the word flew effortlessly through her lips "why are you such a fool?" "Well only  you say so..Ladies think I am charming..!" Dean rubbed his hand licking his lips as if he was slow moving in a music video, Bella didn't want to but a smile peeked out, ignoring the Tingle that danced down her body at the licking of his lips, "You are so foolish Dean" "Foolish enough for you to stay..? Smoke lil ting I got on my way back home and got one of them sticky party pre rolls" she paused if she is being honest she wasn't sure if she want to go home, As her roommate have a friend sleeping over tonight, she don't know if she have the strength to be there especially this time when a person is likely to make toxic decisions, Like calling her ex and having ex s*x that she could regret once she was done. "OK yeah" Pulling her hoodies over her head she did a head shake, Like a dog shaking water off its fur, Her Curls sprang to life happy at no longer being confined, They bounced around until they settled into afro at her heart shaped face, Dean turning to tell her a joke stopped at the view of her hair drifting into place. Telling himself that beauty wasn't the only reason to be with a woman otherwise a beauty like Bella has no business crying over heartbreak. "f**k him Bella, Dead ass,." He whispered, moving to stand in front of her. "You and yuh dead ass" she mumbled to herself than a response Dean's eyes roamed slowly over her face slow enough for a lump to form in her throat she tried to swallow it avoiding his gaze as butterflies fluttered in her belly, He wrapped her in a bear hug warmth Creping to the back of her neck as his frame enveloped her "You are gonna be okay Bella" he said his lips brushing against her neck and her c**t did a low drum solo but she pushed all her emerging nasty thought out of her mind Would she like to climb Dean's dark skin god like goodness? She laughed to herself as she thought of that Donald Glover meme ..uhh Dot. Dot. Dot. Yes..! Her mind and p***y were in perfect union on wanting Dean but Dean only sees her as a Surrogate baby sister. He never gave her any reason to think otherwise but for Bella growing up and having him around he has always been her secret crush but he has always been nothing but nice to her both at school and at home, He does knock at her door anytime he comes home and they only discuss two things French movies and Animals and its not really for long but for the fact that he took time to speak to her even for a few moments made her feel so what special and it has taken her tween heart long to worship him, somehow Bella has gotten over her childish fantasies of getting down with Dean but sometimes there were rare moments like this when she remembered how physically she was attracted to him of course Dean's Tan dark skin and perfect frame didn't help either he was wearing a simple white tee and a basketball shorts his hair looked neat like he had gotten it done recently. Bella is a confident woman but she hasn't always been that way, Marcus sister use to feel like a colossally awkward nerd around boys it took her a while to find her stride still Bella won't easily risk Dean's rejection, follow by the humiliation she would feel each time saw him at BBQs, family gatherings or birthday parties  "Are you Hungry?"  Her belly fluttered and she felt a sweet pressure on her c**t at his seemingly dirty word. She would eat, her mouth watered thinking of sucking on him, Devouring hi… "Devouring what….?" "Huh..?" "You whispered something about Devouring?" Bella broke out of his embrace ducked her head to conceal the embarrassing heat flushing her face, "Ohh Devouring Piazza!" "Piazza?" "Yea let me order while you go get the pre-rolls it's the only reason am staying as as fumbles in her pursue for her phone and tapping a way intently, He laughed and walked towards the stairs, " Don't forget wings!" He added over his shoulders.
