"It's you" She announced softly

"So I did do something?" I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly.

"You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind.

"And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words.

"What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly.

"That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory.

"I won't, and I know that's hard for you to believe because of past experiences but I'll prove it, we can move at whatever pace you want to,"

Riptide

I looked around the club as they continued to add the finishing touches to the decorations for tonight's opening, Spain and I had bought the place a year ago in the center of the city but had just recently gotten around to flipping it. 


"Ice" Dice called out and I turned watching as he walked towards me. 


"Terrell was asking if he could slide through tonight" 


"Yeah, he can, get someone to watch the baby and let his girlfriend come as well" I agreed knowing she probably needed a break since she had spent most of this week getting things sorted for school next month. 


My phone began ringing as he walked off and I removed it checking the caller ID before answering it. 


"My friends want to meet you" she announced softly and I smiled since that meant she was talking about me. 


"I actually have a club opening tonight, I'll send you the address and you invite them"
