K E N T R E L L | 🏕💚

Everybody stood in the living room in silence.

We got home 15 minutes ago, and the first I thing I did was suggest that Jalicia get cleaned up. Shit just went by too fast. I was just with Jalicia earlier today, and I could've easily lost her.

I'm just glad she didn't .... . Yes, she got harmed but I could deal with that. I couldn't take no pain anymore. I checked the time. It was 12 AM now. Still nobody said a word.

"Well, that was a lot." KD finally huffed. All I could do was nod in agreement. I thought that nigga was dead, whole time he was alive and plotting.

"Where did Jalicia say she was going again?" Ben asked me. He just gotten here a few hours ago when we left. Ben just got info about the news.

"I told you. She ain't wanna tell me nun." I replied, irritated. I didn't wanna talk about shit, I just wanted to move on with my life.

"You think she knew he was alive the whole time?" Three looked at us. "What? No, mane—" I quickly stopped talking. I doubt she knew.

"Don't do Jalicia like that." KD pouted. "I'm not saying she did, but it could be possible."

"Mane, you saying nonsense." I stood up. "Jalicia ain't no snake. Don't do shawty like that."

"So where she went then?" Babyjoe kept flickering his lighter. The fire kept popping up and vanishing. "I don't know. I'm gonna go ask her right na."

I walked upstairs, slowly opening my room door. The water had stopped running. I guess she was finished. I sat on the bed, pulling my phone out and looking Montana's text. I didn't have Instagram or any socials at the moment because the media was just too much sometimes.

The bathroom doors opened and I instantly felt an air of heat fly by. "Damn, Leesh. You was burning up in there?" U chuckled and looked at her. She was shivering, and was covered in a white towel. But she slowly walking up to me.

At first she looked scared, but let out a smile. "You know I shower in hot water." She stood in between my legs. I nodded and it went completely silent.

I could see her looking at me, waiting for me to say something. "Where you went?" I got straight to it. She sighed, grabbing something from my dresser. "Kentrell, can we—"

"Nah I wanna know. Cause you out here keeping secrets and shit I wanna know what's going on. Where was you at?" I repeated, staring at her legs.

"Keeping secrets?" She glanced at me. "What secrets Kentrell?" "Like where you went."

"I don't wanna say it cause I know you gone be mad." She shook her head, and her voice softened.

"It better not be..." I stood up. "I—" "You went to Monte nem?" My voice raised. "Don't yell at me." She backed up. "No. I should, cause you always acting dumb mane! You lied to me, you broke our promise!" I yelled, I couldn't control myself.

"Kentrell can you stop yelling, I don't feel good." She covered her face. "No, Jalicia. I'm tired of this shit. You need to stop. You pr—" I stopped myself.

"Do you hate me?" Her voice cracked. "Cause I hate myself. Why am I like this?" Tears started coming out her eyes.

I sighed, pulling her in for a hug. "No, mama. I don't hate you. I could never hate you. I just hate the shit you do." I spoke softly.

"I wanna die." She said in a muffled manner because her face was buried in my chest. "Don't say that."

"Well, I should. I think I'm pregnant. And I just know I'll be a terrible mother if I stay on that shit." She shook her head and I lifted her up. She huffed around me as I sat her on the bed.

"Jalicia don't ever say no bullshit like that. I'm here for you. I'll never leave. I did some shit in the past, but I'm not giving up on you. You gone be a good mother. I know you will." I held her hands, and kissed both.

She sniffled, wiping her eyes. "I didn't want to believe it. I had the symptoms and everything. What if I'm killing the baby?"

"You not. Which is why Ima help you with allat."

"Did you know..." her voice trailed off. I nodded. "I nutted in you for a reason." I chuckled.

"I love you so much Kentrell."

"I love you too mama."

J A L I C I A | 💘

I looked away, feeling nervous. It was always something about Kentrell's eyes or facial features that made me so anxious whenever I was around him.

I had known him since kids. And I still felt this way. "I wanted to give you something," he coughed, standing up.

"What?" I looked up at him. He looked nervous too. I knew he was because his voice had softened. "I just ain't know when I wanted to give it to ya, Jalicia."

Oh, he was serious. Not my government name. He barely said "Jalicia" unless he was actually being forreal.

"I don't know if I deserve you." He sighed, burying his head in his hands. "Baeeee," I dragged, standing up. "Don't say that." I shook my head.

"Mane, I just don't wanna fuck up again. Who knows what you'll do."

"Kentrell, don't worry. I'll be here with you all the time. I'll help you. Like you said to me." I smiled. I slowly grabbed his hands from his face, and he looked at me.

"You're so cute." I planted a kiss on his lips. He grinned. "Now tell me." I sat back down on the bed and he nodded.

Kentrell pulled something out of his pocket. At first, I didn't notice what it was but when I did my eyes widened.

"No, no." I shook my head.

It was a velvet box. It was small, so I just knew there was a ring inside. "I'm being serious, Jalicia. I'm giving my all to you this time. I wanna get married with you, have kids with you and allat."

You already have kids, but we can work with that.

I nodded, letting him continue. He got on his knees, and I stood up in awe.

I don't know what it was, but this time seemed more genuine and real that last time. I mean, I saw Kentrell change. Become a better person and everything.

"Will you marry me?"

to be continued ... 💘
