If I have to (bwwm)

Chapter 23

James's Pov

Its been a little over a month since I first met Morgan. Man just the thought of her drives something in me. I haven't figured out if that's good or bad yet. She's not as readable as I initially thought. The damn girl is a walking mystery.

Last night was unlike any night I had with anyone.  Morgan is unlike anyone I know.  Usually, when I stay the night at a girls place we end up fucking. I mean why else would I be there. Instead, we stayed up most of the night talking, getting to know each other.

As much as I have loved to fuck mory last night, I knew that I had a better chance of flying than sleeping with her. It's actually refreshing to see someone with morals. Someone that is really genuine. 

I know it took a lot for her to let me stay over last night. Shit, I was surprised when she asked.   I wasn't too surprised when she told me l had to sleep on the couch. I'm learning that's apart of Morgan's personality.  Giving and taking going as far as her leash will allow.  Its become really fun to see her let go. It makes me wonder how far she can really go.

When we talked she asked questions and I answered. I asked questions and answered with more questions. One thing I know for sure is that eventually I rub off on Morgan and god I wanna see her come out her shell.

My thoughts of Morgan are paused when my phone began to ring. I let out an exaggerated groan at the sight of the caller.

"Yes, mom."

"James, now that is no way to answer your mother. Where are your manners young man?" her squeaky voice scolded.

"Hello, mom how are you?"  I said rolling my icy grey eyes.

"Hi, son. I was just calling because your brother informed me that you are bringing a plus one."

"Yeah, I am. Why ?"

"Well, I just hope she is well groomed. You aren't the best at picking girls. "

"Really mom, did you call me to chastise my date?"

"Oh, so it is a date, interesting. "

I can't but laugh at her noisy ass. That woman knows everything and what she doesn't know she finds out.

" For god sakes ma I'm a grown man."

"I know but you are also my baby and I know what's best for you. So let me say this in a way that you'll understand. No hoes, no bitches, sluts, skanks, and whats the other one the new one. Oh yeah no thots.

"Okay mom I hear you I'll see you tonight. "

"Okay see you then remember what I said. She better be well groomed. You know these parties are important to me."  She said ending the call.

God that woman is crazy, but shit aren't we all. I wish she would just chill sometimes.  These dinners are filled with judgmental assholes. I personally don't give a fuck what people think about. Hopefully, Morgan is the same way or tonight will be one hell of a night.

Morgan's pov

"Honesty Chloe there is nothing she can say.  She sticks her head so far up her ass that she forgets she needs air. "  I'm currently at war about what I should do with my hair. While on three-way with Destiny and Chloe.

"You know she means well," Destiny said. 

"Yeah means well for herself" Chloe muttered.

"Have you at least spoken to her?" Destiny asked.

"Nope and I don't plan on. James paid me for the cakes so I could care less. "

"Wait what."

"Moe, exactly how  did James pay you?"
I could hear the questions following already.  "Morgan I'm gonna ask really calmly.  DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT GET THE DICK?"Destiny squealed.

"Wow, that's some calm voice you got there Des. "

"Oh god Destiny she didn't say no," Chloe said dramatically.
"God, why are my friends so pressed about dick."

"Ummh not all us," Chloe said clearing her throat.

"Yall he paid with money and dinner. Apparently, his mom has had everything planned since day one. Now if you would excuse me, I'm gonna go get dress, see yall in a little bit. "

"Wait moe don't- click.

Ugh, what am I gonna do with my friends? They are the craziest people I know. My little makeshift family. Although I won't say it I'm not really mad at Ali anymore. She has been calling nonstop.  At first, it was probably about cakes.

In my last text, a couple of text messages from her were apologies.  I guess she found that I'm not making unnecessary cakes.

  She texted me and said that she did to impress Keith's mom. Apparently, she isn't the biggest fan of Ali. 

Poor Ali she always spent to much time worrying what people thought of her. It makes a bit apprehensive about tonight.  Is this woman really as sharp as James said she is? Hell, she's got Ali losing her shit wonder what she'll think of me.

Looking At myself in the mirror I get overwhelmed and do something unexpected.  I grab the scissors by the bathroom sink and go to work.  With each snip, I feel a little freer. It isn't long before my bathroom sink is full hair.

The sew in is out and my fro is free. My natural hair hasn't seen daylight in a while. I missed my curls. Besides, if I'm going into the lion's den I might as well feel like me.

A/N. 90K !!!!!! *BREAKS OUT INTO HAPPY DANCE* okay I was gonna update on my birthday which was Sunday,but wattpad was being really weird. So I might do another update tonight. Hope yall enjoy chapter 23. Ooh I almost forgot to tell Yall *clears throat.* I'M GOING SEE BEYONCÉ!  🍋🐝🌻
