Me: Understood.
After I hung up the phone I got out of the tub and showered. I went to my closet to find a black dress and some vans to put on. "Maya come down for dinner pumpkin." My momma yelled from downstairs. I put my hair up in a slick ponytail and put my glasses on as soon. As I got to the dining room area all the seats were taken except one and it was by Malik.
15 minutes into the dinner:
I couldn't eat at all. All I could do was think of Malik and me. I don't wanna admit it but I still love this man like crazy he was the only boyfriend my parents liked and allowed him to keep me out after curfew, but besides the point. I see myself with Malik and spending the rest of my life with and building a family with him. I can't believe this is going through my mind I remember the first kiss and I even let him take my virginity my parents still don't know because they think I'm waiting till marriage but I was nervous and anxious. Every time I think or get around him I feel so much better. My thoughts were interrupted by Malik whispering in my ear "You ok ma." With his hand rubbing my thigh. I shook my head yes and smiled at him.
Dinner is over I decided to help clean, just to clear my head. Until Malik asked to talk to me outside alone for a few minutes and of course, my mom goes "Yeah yeah go on me and Simone go this."
Soon as we got outside boom our lips connected like the first time "I missed you, babe." He said to me as he held me in his arms "Tae and Shay told me about you working, why." He said sounding so disappointed. The two can't hold water damn I thought to myself "Well ever since you got locked up I didn't wanna sit at my parents' house thinking about the 2 years. To me that feels like forever and so I decided to get my career job and work that's why." "Plus you're mom told me that she made you come home on your birthday. Maya wtf you working on your BIRTHDAY for?" He said getting pissed at me. "Like I said I NEEDED THE MONEY MALIK SHIT!" "I wanna quit but I can't" "I'm tired and stressed." "And with you not being here with me I worried and I prayed for you to come home every day and night," I said crying in his chest. "Listen to me as long as I'm here you'll never have to work again. Understood." He said before kissing my forehead.
After the talk, we went back into the house to tell my parents that we were back together again. After that conversation, I felt so much better like a weight being lifted off but I had let him know.
