A Match Made In Heaven - Brea isome (ebook reader for laptop txt) 📗

" well I don't jump when he says to, so i'll get to it when I can , alright? "

He gave me this twisted ass look but walked away shaking his head.

I continued my dances, I could feel eyes on me . He'll, everyone had their eyes on me, but I continued.

The night went slower than expected. Usually the 5 hours flew by but tonight they drug on and on.

When I finally got off at 2 I was exhausted.

I wanted to get home .

I re-dressed in my street clothes and packed my shit up to go.

The club was winding down, a few girls were still giving dance but it wasnt much.

When I steppped outside it was cool. The night air cooled the scorching hot sun of the day.

But it would be light agaain soon so I had to get home.

School started at 7:30 .

It was always an early start.

" I cant believe I never got my dance. "

I turned at the voice and I saaw him .

He was leaning against the side of the club, puffing slowly on a joint.

He looked too cool.

I wanted to laugh but I didn't.

" listen, " isaid, ignoring what he said" I want to thank you for what you did the last time. You know, you didn't have to. "

" iknow I didn't. "

And we were quiet. only distant noices were heard but we just stared at eachother once agaain, quiet.

what was up with us.

-Ashton-

I know I said I wouldn't but I had to. I was feeling like i had no choice.

" let me take you to breakfast ."

" breakfast? " she gave a small laugh" sure, why the hell not. "

We got inside my car and drove quietly to IHop.

On the way I was trying to figure out what was on her mind. She was staring out of the windoww concentrating on her thoughts and I was dumbfounded.

I felt like I should have pulled over and let her out because it just felt weird having her in my car.

She wwas under 18 .

I could have caught a fucking case messing around with her. But I was going to do what AJ said. I was going to have one conversation with her and see how I felt after that .

" so, tell me, " I said once we were seated inside the restaurant and had ordered" tell me why you work at Heaven. "

She raise her eyebrows" I dont know you ."

" you're right. But im just cuurious. "

She rolled her eyes before she gave an answer. " my mother died not even 2 months ago. I need the money. "

" money. . . So are you one of those gold-digger types? "

" no. I think money is great and all but id rather work for my own than take it lazily from a nigga. "

I smiled .

I thought to myself, im going to like her.

" so tell me, Ashton -"

I cut her off" woah, you remembered my name? "

She blushed a little but shrugged it off" anyways, what is it that you wanted to take me to breakfast for ?"

" to get to know you, that's all. "

" really? So you don't plan on dragging mr out back and raping me? "

I smiled at her bluntness" nah, lil mama. Are you sure that you not gone drag me out back and have yo' way with me , is the question . "

It was her turn to smile " not on the first date. "

" date? So this is a date? "

" its a friendsly date. . . You know , where friends go out together. "

" well since we're being friendly can I ask you another question? "

" sure. "

I thought for a second how to word my question" would you ever quite working at Heaven?"

" if I had another job I would quite in a heart beat. "

I could see in those pretty hazel eyes of hers how sincere her answer was.
Chapter 3

Ashton
Something about her was just too much for me .
Sixteen, sixteen, sixteen.
There was a five years age gap between us, it was illegal. Even me sitting at the table with her felt innocent enough but spotted by the right person they could see the look in my eyes.
I wanted to figure her out, know her whole story.
She intrigued me more than any woman, 21 oor older, and I wasn't suree why exaactly.
She was beautiful, that waas for sure, she had a certain style about that screamed she was mature for her age.
I could tell she had a good heart and a great head on her shoulders and everything. . She was so different but could I really even continue to get to know her without getting my feelings getting involved.
She was beautiful and smart with her thoughts going right with a sense of humor as well. But the main thing about her that was exciting to me was that she was independent. I wasn't particularly down with her being a stripper but that wasnt my choice. I had just met her and I didn't like how possesive I felt over a. . . Girl.
I sighed a little, dismissing my thoughts about her age and I continued to look into her eyes.
She wasn't intimidated by me at all but she wasn't shy, she was somewhere in the middle, closer to shy now that she was out of the club.
" so, " I said breaking our silence. We were still waiting on our food to come in the nearly empty IHop at 2:30 this particular morning. " what's a goal you have? "
" I used to want to go to Harvard but, now my main goal is to get a regular job and my own place. I think if I ddo those 2 things then everything else will fall into place. "
" everything else like what? " I asked curiously.
She shrugged "like high school. I think finishing will be alot easier without being up all night at a fucking strip club. "
" how about I give you a job? "
Shee narrowed her eyes at me" if its at another strip club then ill pass. God, I didn't know you and your brother both were perverts. " she said playfully .
I laughed " no, no, no. I own a clothing store. "
" oh really? "
" Yupp. "
" so how is it thaat you and AJ both own businesses? "
" well . . . My father left us a nice chunk of money and property when he died. "
" and what did your father do? "
" like I tell everybody, he was a business man. " I told her, trrying to keep it to a minimal. I never was to ffond of taalking about what my fatheer did for a living to become so well paid. He did everythingg and anything to make money. He had a hand in anything illegall in Brimson. That waas just it. " so how did you end up at Heaven. "
" woah, all we've done is talk about me. What about you? What are your aspirations? "
" hmm. . . " I watched as the waitress emerged from the back carrying our food in heer hands. I looked back to Saphiree" to fall in love. "


And so we ate, conversing back and forth about nothing and everything at the same time . I learned that she was dead set on finishing high school. I could respect that. She admitted to being a dork ; singing off key in the shower and dancing in the kitchen while she cooked. She had me falling out laughing. I told her I was a little bit out of whack too ; listening to Taylor Swift from time to time. She looked at me like I was crazy for a second befor she had a laughing fit of her own.
She was too cool.
By the time we finished talking it was damn near 6 in the morning, the sun was beginning to rise and Saphire was dead on her feet. She sat at the table, nodding off every few minutes.
I laughed when nodded forward so far her head banged the table with a loud thud. She jumped up, rubbing her forehead. " shit. "
" come on, " I stood up, dropped money on the table and pulled her up with me. " let's gets you home, ma'. "
She was so drowsy.
I should have known better thaan to stayy out talking with her all night. She had told me she had school early the next day but I got so caught up. . .
We got in my car and I drove straight for a few minutes until I realized I didn't know where the hell she lived at. I pullled over to the side of the road and tried to shake her awake from her resting place in the passengger seat. But she wasn't having that. She didn't wait up no matter how much I shook her and called her name. She didn't mention she was a heavy sleeper.
So ended up driving to my place, and carrying her down the driveway and basically all the way up to the spare bedroom I had.
I owned a small house right on the other side of the tracks so it wasn't in the hood. But if I drove 10 minutes in the other direction I would be right back in the hood.
I took off her shoes and put her under the covers and went to my own bedroom that wwas just down the hall.
A quick shower and I dressed in my plaid pajama pants and next thing I knew I was knocked, having sweet dreams about Saphire.
How could she be the beautiful objeect of my dreams so soon.

-Saphire-
I opened my eyes, slowly. The bright morning sun was shinning through the curtains . It stung my eyes.
I breathed deeply and I enjoyed the feel of the silk covers surrounding me . Those definitely weren't the covers at Jas's. I lifted my head to look around the rooom, panicking, before I realized where I was exactly .
I flopped back down on the bed with a goofy smile coating my face.
He'd taken me to breakfast. .. .
I could remeber enough of our discussions from last night and early morning to know that he's a wondeful person. His tattoos could fool anyone into thinking that he was a thug or jus a product of his enviorment but I now knew that that wasn't true at all. .
He was such a gentlemen toward me.
He spoke to me nicely, flirted a bit, and even paid attention to the things that I was saying.
For a second I wondered if AJ was the ssame underneath all of the rough edges. I laughed at the thought. No, that couldn't be possible. AJ had proven time and time again that
