The Bodyguard [J COLE FF]

Part 14

Jermaine Cole

"That place was amazing, you'll have to take me sometime again." Simone smiled as we held hands on our way back to the truck.

I couldn't wipe the stupid grin off my face at the moment. Seeing her happy honestly made me happy on the inside.

Her smile was everything.

"Aight cool I can do that." I replied to her as I opened the door for her to hop in.

Once she was in, I walked over to my side & got in. After we got settled I began to drive off.

"I honestly had a great time Jermaine." I glanced over at Simone & looked back toward the road.

"I'm glad you did cause no lie I was a little nervous." I laughed.

She laughed also & shook her head repeatedly.

"It was perfect! I'm not into extravagant dates & expensive dinners I mean it's nice & all but simple things are much more intimate & it has special meaning you know?"

I nodded my head in understanding as I continued to drive. It was silent for a while but it was a comfortable silence which was good.

I could tell she was in deep thought based on the way she was looking out the window.

"So um you want me to take you home?" I asked.

Her head snapped over to me quickly.

"Um is it ok if I stay with you tonight?" She asked like she was afraid that I'll say no.

"Yea it's cool, no problem.. You asking with a hint of fear in your voice like I was gonna say no or some shit." I laughed as I hit a right turn at the light.

"I just wasn't sure if you wanted company over tonight." she smiled at me.

"You're welcome every time." I smirked at her which caused her to blush.

We pulled up to my apartment building & hopped out the truck before making our way inside the main lobby. As we walked by a couple of teens was walking past us & they couldn't help but stare.

"Yo is that Simone Dionne?" I overheard one of the teens whisper.

We continued to walk but I could feel their eyes on us. As we made our way around the corner the elevators was closing so we stopped it just in time & hopped on.
