Save Me

"Wow, this is nice. When are you officially moving in?" Gloria asked me as we walked through my new condo.

"I mean, I already have the keys so whenever I have time. I'm thinking this weekend some time."

Glo arched her brows. "Girl, you had your keys last weekend too...what's the hold up?" She questioned me about me moving too slow, but I guess living alone is still a fear of mine.

"Busy," I replied.

"Mhm, whatever. Let me find you don't wanna leave Mr. Moody's loft."

I simply shrugged. "It's a nice loft..."

Gloria laughed hysterically. "I knew it. Hmm, I feel like his nice loft isn't the only reason you don't wanna leave. Give me details."

I sighed and looked over at Nas who was sitting on the kitchen counter with his headphones in. "Nas isn't the biggest fan of us moving out. He loves having Bam around."

Glo nodded with a smirk. "You do too apparently."

I arched my brows at her expression. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just think that you're downplaying your feelings for him. Remember, you told me last week bout the seeing him naked situation. You were lusting just thinking about it..." I sighed immediately regretting that I disclosed that to her.

I was so happy that they let me off early today because I really wasn't feeling work. Too much going on in my mind.

I looked down at my watch and saw that I still had half a day before I had to go pick up Nas from school.

Walking into the loft, it was fairly quiet. I did hear rumblings coming from the kitchen. I assumed that Bam was home.

"Bam?" I called out.

There was no reply, so I strolled to the kitchen to see where the noise was coming from. I went in to see a perfectly sculpted bare body with nothing, but a towel wrapped around him. I bit down on my bottom lip, enjoying the sight from behind. I quickly snapped out of it.

I noticed that he had his headphones in his ear, blasting the tunes so he couldn't hear me. I tapped Bam as he was scanning the packed refrigerator.

My sudden touch startled him, causing the towel to fall to the ground. He quickly picked it up, to cover himself up again and ran back to the bathroom. It was too late, I had seen all of him.

"What's the big deal? I thought it was a funny story, so I told you. No big deal," I lied. I couldn't unsee him even if I tried.

"Lie again."

"Whatever. You working tonight?" I asked her, trying to change the subject.

"Yep, gotta put in overtime for Christmas. You?"

"Nah, off tonight. I need it," I told her with a sigh of relief.

"Awh, damn. Poor Dr. Morgan. He's gonna miss you tonight on shift. All that flirting and other shit y'all do." Gloria teased about my flourishing relationship with Chaz.

"He'll be okay. We were with each other all last night."

Gloria eyes widened. "All last night? Getting cozy already..."

I smacked my teeth. "Shut up! You know what I meant. Don't be nasty." I glanced down at my watch and smirked.

"Anyway, lets go. I don't need you being late because of me."

Me and Nasir stood in the elevator quietly on the way up to the loft. I knew that he was still in one of his moods.

"Nas, we can't stay with Bam forever. You do know that, right?"
