CHAPTER SIX
❦
Justus leaned back against his headboard, licking the end of the wood and sealing it closed. Grabbing the lighter off the rolling tray that was on his lap, he flicked it and ran the flame over the body of the blunt. Once it was dry, he placed one end in his mouth and cupped his hand around the other end, finally lighting his blunt.
He inhaled slowly just as Raven came out of his steam filled bathroom, fresh out of the shower. She was dressed in only a white cropped wife beater that she cut herself and a pair of black Nike Pro shorts with her hair wrapped neatly and tucked into a hot pink bonnet. Her face was clear and free of any makeup, glowing after just completing her skincare routine and Justus couldn't help but stare, admiring her as she walked in his direction.
"You started without me," she frowned, placing her toiletry bag inside her small carryon suitcase and flipping it closed.
"My fault," he said, holding the blunt out to her after taking another hit. She grabbed it, taking a deep inhale and blowing the smoke out of her nose. She gave the blunt back to Justus and climbed into bed, placing herself in his lap in a straddling position.
He rubbed her smooth thigh with one hand, pulling from the blunt that was in his other. She rested against his chest, sighing contentedly and wrapping her arms around his waist with her head on his shoulder. She subconsciously rubbed his back while staring out into space, seeming to be in deep thought.
"Hm," he hummed, holding the blunt to her lips. She inhaled slowly, blowing smoke out of her nose before taking one more hit. "What you thinking bout?" He questioned lowly, putting his hand on her back to pull her closer.
With her body pressed up against his, Raven hummed and tucked her face into his neck. "You.." she responded softly.
Justus couldn't help but smirk. "What about me?"
"I just like being around you," she stated simply. "It just feels comfortable with you. And safe. Like I don't have to do too much."
Justus hummed in thought, realizing he got the same feeling whenever he was around her. She always had this warm and inviting energy about her and whenever they were together he couldn't help but feel at ease.
"Shit crazy.." he muttered in agreement, putting the roach of the blunt out on the rolling tray. He had smoked the majority of it without either of them even realizing.
"I know, right?" She responded, wondering if it was too soon to be feeling this way.
With other men, it usually took her a while to decide whether or not she even liked them. Meeting Justus, she knew the moment she saw him, she wanted to get to know him. She wouldn't go as far as calling it love at first sight but there was definitely an instant gravitation towards him that she just couldn't fight.
"It almost feel too good to be true," Justus said, voicing her exact thoughts while rubbing her back gently.
Raven nodded subtly, feeling herself blush as butterflies fluttered in her stomach. Their conversation was short with very little words exchanged, but it didn't take much for the two of them to come to some kind of understanding. Lifting her head, she met his low eyes and gently pressed her lips to his. Justus returned her kiss, instantly taking control of it and sliding his tongue in her mouth, caressing hers gently.
