I woke up with an ache between my legs and a smile on my face. I looked over at the time, 4 am. Remind me not to fall asleep early in the day. Josiah was still asleep next to me snoring softly. I looked up at him with a smile, I really gave this man my virginity. Do I regret it? Not really.
Josiah's phone suddenly lights up and starts vibrating next to him on the bedside table. I sneak a glance over the phone to see who's calling since Josiah doesn't seem like he'll be waking up any time soon.
Richard Louis name appeared on the iPhone screen. After the ringing finished, a text message followed. "We need to meet and talk now. It is urgent, she may be in danger."
Since when has Josiah been such good friends with my ex boss to have each other's numbers? Shouldn't he be in jail or something now for fraud? And who's the girl that might be in danger? The only girl they both know that I know of is me, and I certainly hope they are not talking about me. I'm tempted to ask Josiah when he wakes up, but I don't want it to seem like I was snooping on his phone.
I decided to get up for a snack or something and sneak out of bed. I grab one of Josiah's t-shirts and throw it on before heading down the stairs to the kitchen. I pull some ice cream out of the freezer and grab a spoon before sitting and enjoying my meal. After eating and scrolling on Instagram for a good 10 minutes, Josiah wanders into the kitchen shirtless.
"There you are."
"Here I am. Couldn't sleep anymore?" I ask. He shakes his head, "Not without you." And kisses my head.
His phone begins to ring again and he pulls it out of his pocket to answer. "What?" He pauses waiting for the other person to speak. "I'll be there in 5." I continue eating my ice cream pretending to ignore his call. "Baby I'll be back in like 30 minutes okay? It's urgent." He grabs a hoodie and zips it up before also grabbing a gun from a safe in the closet.
I nod my head and continue eating my ice cream. "Don't be like that, I'll be right back I promise." He raises my chin to peck me on the lips. I nod again and before he leaves out the door I call out, "Tell Mr. Louis I said hi!"
He stops before opening the door and turns around to face toward me. "How did you know?"
"He called earlier, I saw the caller ID and the text."
"I'll explain when I get back alright? I love you." Before I can say anything back he's out the door. I sigh and decide to put the ice cream away. Since it was practically morning, I might as well start my day now. The time was now almost 5:00 am so I decided to hope into the shower and get dressed for the day. By the time I made it back down to the kitchen to start breakfast, Josiah was already home.
"Good morning." He said coming up behind me as I stirred eggs on the fry pan. "Am I the her that's in possible danger that you had to go talk about with Mr. Louis?" I asked.
"So no good morning?" I frown at him. "Look just don't worry about it, no one will ever lay a hand on you again."
"Josiah what's going on?" I ask again.
He cups my face and kisses me, "Don't worry about it."
"Josiah!" I whined. "Do you think you could put cheese on my eggs?" He asks ignoring my protests.
I frown at him again, "I'll drop it for now. But don't think I won't go out and find answers myself."
"Please don't."
"Then tell me at least why he isn't in jail for fraud."
"We don't associate with law enforcement, you know that. And he is also working with us for something."
"Then why am I in danger?"
"Last night was amazing wasn't it?" He asks trying to change the subject.
I ignore him and keep making breakfast. He tried to kiss my cheek but I dodge him by moving away. He sighs before heading upstairs for what I assume is a shower.
When breakfast is ready I toss his plate in front of him and take my own food somewhere else. "You're not gonna eat with me?" He asks sadly. I don't answer and continue my meal in the kitchen. He walks into the kitchen with his plate and takes a seat beside me. "I want to tell you but I can't."
"You say that a lot don't you?"
"When it all blows over I'll tell you everything okay? Just be patient with me."
I let out an "Mhm." Before getting up and putting my plate back in the kitchen. "I'm going out." I way before putting on my shoes and grabbing my purse.
He sighs, "Where are you going at 7 in the morning on a Saturday?"
"Don't worry about it." With that I shut the front door and head out. As I drove off I noticed security following right behind me. I roll my eyes and decide to go visit my girls back at the apartment.
