Playing With Fire

Chapter 28: Mixed Messages

Chris:

Getting Jhene to stay her ass in the bedroom whilst I set up this damn balcony was harder than I expected. I had the blinders drawn and her in the bedroom with the door locked just so she couldn't try and spy her nosey ass inside before time. However, I'd done a pretty good ass job with setting it up and all so quickly. I mean it could've been better but shit I'd done this off the rip in 30 minutes and I only had the shit in my house to work with and put everything together.

I'd taken the bed comforter off the bed from the spare bedroom and had it laid out on the floor of the tent along with all the pillows nshit that was in there too, made it as comfortable as possible just so our asses would hurt sitting on this hard ass balcony floor.

To the left of me outside the tent, I'd dragged out the small square side table from my front room and sat it in the middle of 2 large cushions either side Chinese style, with the only candle I could find placed in the middle of 2 empty plates,

I had the pizza delivery on their way seeing as that was her favourite shit to eat; well it used to be anyway so I was hoping she still liked pizza. Thinking about it, ordering pizza was something I should have done from the beginning instead of burning out my damn oven tryna be fancy and cook.

I had her gift wrapped and ready something I think she'd find very thoughtful. It was something I was supposed to give her 2 Christmases ago, but yeah shit happened and Christmas never came for us. Either way I never threw it away just because I couldn't.

The outside lights of the balcony where all switched on to brighten the place up. The only thing that was missing was music but shit, I'd let her decide if she wanted music or not. I wasn't about to play no romantic setting songs for her to laugh at me, you see Jhene had this thing about shit being corny, she was a weird girl when I come to think of it, all the romantic shit most girls loved she cringed at the thought of So I weren't tryna overdue shit.

5 minutes after id finished, my buzzer beeped from inside signalling that the pizza delivery was here.

"Chris I'm getting real bored in here now!!!" I heard Jhene yell from the bedroom as I walked past to answer the intercom, I laughed and shook my head at her impatient ass; she hadn't even been in there for that long yet. I ignored her and picked up the buzzer.

"Yo?"

"Hey Mr Brown, its Hailey, I just need to confirm with you that there is a pizza hut delivery down here awaiting you, is it ok if I send him up?" she spoke through the intercom

"Yeah, yeah send him up" I confirmed.

"Ok, I'll send him up now. Thank you" I hanged up the phone and opened the door a little. In a matter of minutes he was at my door. I paid him for the two large Pizza's id ordered and then paid him extra for the bottle of pink lemonade I had him pick up for me separately for me. I set the pizza boxes on the floor beside the table along with the lemonade. Grabbed two wine glasses and placed them down on the table. Briefly, I looked around at my settings and if I must say myself I was a damn creative genius. If I was a girl even I'd be impressed with me. This shit looked like I'd taken it from a brochure and placed it on my balcony

Now it was time for me to let Miss Impatient out...

****

"Just close your eyes!" I repeated for the third time since I'd let her out of this room, she kept protesting no because she didn't trust me. Jhene huffed and finally followed my instructions

"I swear to god Chris if anything jumps out on me or try's to scare me, I'm going to fuck you up in here tonight, real shit!" she threatened whilst I guided her with my hands over her eyes towards the living room
