Page 100 of Halo: Tales Of A Hitman

Halo’s hand squeezed my ass cheeks right when I massaged conditioner in his hair.

“I know and I wanted to kill him.”

I laughed, “Halo, I would never, ever do anything with your brothers.”

His eyes opened. “I know that boo, I trust you and my brothers fully. I was just mad because you did his hair and not mine.”

His confession made us both lose words for a few minutes. The Weekend was the only thing heard.

“I told Dallas we had to stop hooking up.”

His sentence made me stop mid-protein treatment. “Why?”

“I been hoeing around including with her. I allowed Dallas to go around saying that I was her man but that was never true. I never moved like I had a girl after you even with my fuck up. Seeing you at Tapper’s made me realize what I want.”

As I massaged his scalp. I looked in his eyes. “Halo, it’s been so long, we ended terribly---

“I know that Story and on my parent’s grave I apologize about that. I never meant to hurt you boo, never. I ain’t blamin’ the alcohol and edibles but it played a part. My mind was overthinking when it came to us and I had a moment of fucked up judgment.”

This was the last thing I wanted to talk about but screw it. We were here so I might as well.

“Halo you do not need to keep apologizing. It makes me angry that you were so insecure about us just because I did not say that I loved you back. I just wasn’t ready, but I showed that I loved you. You should have gotten out of your own damn head and talked to me. Not let some desperate thot slut temp you and win.”

“She won a damn nut Story. That ain’t shit she could ever be proud of. It’s you that got me, even after three years.” He must have gotten mad at my last sentence. Because his face twisted up and he gripped my waist hard.

I exhaled and said, “What do you want from me Halo?” I started rinsing his hair out.

His big hands caressed up and down my back. “You Story, I want you.”

I stood up because I was done with his hair at the wash bowl. “That’s a big step and I do not know if we can get our old thing back again. I need time and to trust you Halo.”

“I can get with that if you tell me we can get back in touch with each other.”

When I turned the water off, I wrapped the towel tightly and he stood up. His height was inches above mine and when he looked down at me, I wanted to climb him like a tree.

“You know I am not taking no for an answer Story. Remember how I was when we broke up. I’ll be worse now cause’ you are what I want. I’ll do whatever but leave you alone. I just can’t boo.”

I chuckled, “I promise you are crazy.”

All he did was shrug his shoulders. Halo walked to my chair and took his phone out of his pocket before he sat down. “Here.”

I took his phone but was confused.

“Unlock it and put your number in. It’s still the same code as before.”

“Excuse me sir but I never said you can have my number.”

“Stop fuckin’ with me Story.”

The fact that I remembered it was funny. I put my number in and gave him his phone back.

“We are just friends Halo.” I let him know then started sectioning off his hair so I could blow dry it.

“I know boo, I know.” His smirk on his face told me that he thought I was bluffing.

Really, I did not know what I was doing but I knew that Halo had a lot of work to do for me to trust him again. After I blow dried his hair, he shared with me that he told Greek and Golden about his trauma. I was speechless and got emotional when he told me their reaction. I then let him know how proud of him I was.
