"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 turned off the stove before moving over to my phone to see that I had a missed call from her, the sight leaving my mind drift back to the memory of the text she had sent earlier a smile quickly greeting my face as I called her. 


“Jaz,” I greeted the moment the call connected as I leaned against the counter, my entire body coming alive since my mind was still focused on the text. 


“Hey baby,” she replied the raspiness of her voice leaving me to wonder if I woke her up. 


“Were you sleeping?” I asked the sound of her voice turning me on slightly since the raspiness had mixed with the natural deep feminine sultry tone of her voice, creating a sound that had me in a memorized state. 


“Nothing I was just wondering,” I replied and she laughed slightly. 


“Did you see my text?” she asked teasingly and I smiled. 


“Yeah that,” she answered laughing.
