"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

“How are feeling?” Britt asked softly her voice running through my car speakers since my phone was connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth. 


“I’m okay,” I mumbled putting back the car seat waiting for Spain to return from the store. 


“You don’t sound okay,” she replied earning a small smile from me. 


“Frustrated,” she confessed and I frowned slightly coming to the realization that I was. 


“Do you wanna tell me what’s the cause of your frustration?” she asked as I bit my top lip playing with my watch gathering my thoughts into words. 


“I placed Taj in charge of the entire security thing and it’s just not going as smoothly as I thought it would,” 


“Because a percentage of the guys are ex-convicts it’s, making things more difficult,” 


“Trust, I have a few places like umm remember that guy we met at the gallery I took to on one of our dates?” I asked hoping to paint a mental image.
