"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 continued my small movements running my hand up and down her back slowly, the smell of her perfume in the air as I placed a small kiss against her nose loving the way she snuggled closer into me. 


"Jaz" she called out and I shifted on the bed looking at her, silently telling her to go ahead. 


"Are you still coming Saturday night?" she asked referring to the anniversary party that Nia had invited me to, well more like instructed. 


"Of course I am baby" I mumbled as she turned on her side looking at me. 


"I was only late that one time" I reminded and she bit her bottom lip slightly her eyes telling everything she felt in the moment. 


"Wanna go again?" I asked my voice tired and she released a small laugh leaning forward placing a soft kiss against my lips.
