"Where are we going?" I asked him

Carlos made a couple of turns before we pulled up to a familiar area "Somewhere it's safe to talk"

He parked the car looking up I see my apartment complex, this nxgga. He could've told me we were going back to my shit. Climbing out the car we walked thru the lobby, the guy at the front desk gave me a look before waving to which u returned. He probably things I'm finna fuck Carlos, I don't care to correct it because it ain't his business what I do with who or what. Entering the elevator I pressed my floor button, moments later I heard a soft 'ding' as the elevator doors opened. Stepping out I lead him to my apartment unlocking it walking in first, he followed after me locking the door behind himself. I sat on my couch staring at him.

"Big Z put me up to watch over you I gotta protect you, especially since you been around Kaere it's gonna make you a target. At first Ian wanna do it cuz' I wasn't finna be nobody babysitter but it's the least I could do for familia, watch out for him and his" Carlos explained they his thick accent taking a seat next to me

I shook my head looking up then back at him "Of course Alzmir did, he still treats me like a child"

Carlos played with a strain of my hair "It mean he cares 'bout you"

I side eyed him removing my hair from his fingers "You not gonna ask before you touch?"

He slowly licked his lips looking me up and down "My fault, your hair looks shiny"

"Yea it's called moisturizer" I laughed

"Z you're pretty and imma be around a lot so we best friends now" He shrugged

Ou the way this man is looking at me he fine as hell, might ride his face a little. I can't help but feel like he has an alternative doing this though. It can't all just be for Alzmir, I know loyalty runs deep but he's literally going out of his way for Alzmir maybe he owes him. I'm not sure but I don't fully trust Carlos call it a gut feeling.

"You tryna?" He said looking downwards towards my pearl his tongue slowly gliding across his bottom lip

I mushed just arm "Boy stop I still don't know you like that"

He lightly pulled jus bottom lip in his mouth "I can think of a way for me to get to know you"

I smiled rolling my eyes "Carlos what you tryna do"

He chuckled "I think you kno', it involves you sitting on my face"

"Like I said I don't know you like that to be doing allat" I told him

This man was fine but I have morals, I just met him I'm not about to let him do none of that. For the next couple of hours we talked and watched a movie, he's really cool and I like him so far.

"I'm tryna watch something else" Carlos said wiping his face with one hand "It's too much feelings in this sappy shit"

I raised my eyebrow handing him the remote "Then what you tryna watch?"

He grabbed it searching through Netflix "Shit Ion kno' "

Carlos put some show I've never heard of "This shit good, you-"

His phone rang cutting him off "Hello?" He answered

I watch his body language change to more serious and tense "Hold on-" he hung up getting up from the couch "Aight Z I gotta go I'mma see you in a lil"

"Finally" I signed

He looked fake hurt and gasped "Just like that? Wow I thought we had something"

I got up pushing him out the door "Bye Carlos"

I looked it behind him going back to sit on my couch.

I walked down the hall to the elevator "Hello? Hey boss, I got in I'm gathering intel on Kaere through her"

"Aight, keep it up update me" He said through the phone

"Copy" I said before hanging up walking into the elevator shortly after walking through the lobby and out the doors

Climbing in my car I pulled off, time for me to get shit done.
