LOVE ME. ( Not Edited.)

0047

" Is that daddy again?"

Ara said startling me. After driving away and leavind Ayo at the parking lot, I went to puck up his children because I had promised. He has been constantly calling me since then and  I have been ignoring his calls thinking that they were unaware of what was happening. They were too young to understand that people argue, so I do not want them thinking the worst.

" Yes."

" What did he do this time?"

I was taken aback by her question, this child was eight going in twenty-eight.

" What do you mean by this time?"

Angel asked. She was here with Hailey to pick me up as we were going to the club after Ayo picked Ire up since Ara was being picked up by Londi's mother for the sleepover.

" I might be eight but I hear and see what the media says about him. Plus mom is always complaining about how he's always doing dumb stuff."

I was speechless and shared a look with my sisters. Her phone rang and she left the room to answer it. Angel asked me why I was not answering his calls and I told them everything that happened today and that led me to talk to him like that.

" Come on babe, you're being over dramatic. This shows that he actually cares and loves you."

" Hailey don't tell me that you're the type that believes a man being jealous like Ayo does ,proves to you that he has feelings for you?."

" I mean-"

" No if he wants to show me that he should show me in a way that doesn't involve him being angry.  Next thing you'll be saying a slap is love. No, this just proves that he does not trust me."

" That's not what I am saying, I'm just saying a little jealousy is good."

" There are women who think a slap now and then is a good thing too. The media has already made a prediction on how long it will be before I become another of his "women"-"

" Is he putting his hands on you?"

" No Angie, it's just when he gets jealous there's also anger there and I fear he might just do something but he doesn't do anything to make me feel like he will put his hands on me."

When I agreed to date him I made the promise not to judge him on his past but his unfounded jealousy made me fear that he might just be overcome one day because of his anger issues, although I have not really seen him angry.

" They're here."

Ara came running into the living room with a huge smile on her face.

" Wait, you know you're not to answer the door alone."

Yeah I was a bit paranoid. I opened up the front door to her friend, Nala and her uncle. Who had a look of recognition on his face and surprise at the same time. Nala looked at me with amazement..

" Ara was right, you're so beautiful."

" Thank you honey and you're very pretty too."

" Nala be good, I'll be here Sunday to pick you up at six."

" Whatever bye!"

I was shocked at her attitude towards him but then recalled what Ara said.

" Don't mind her, she thinks I'm the devil. Hi my name is Craig."
