I was surrounded by all black and the only voices I could hear were Monte and Craig's, who were talking about me! It felt like I was being held down by a strong grip and I couldn't move! So I punched and kicked around trying to get free, but nothing was working.
"Rayne? Rayne, wake up!" Monte shouted. I was thrashing my body around so I could break free and make my way to where ever Monte was.
"Monte! Monte, help me!" I yelled
"Rayne!" My eyes shot wide open and I saw Monte hovering over me with a concerned look on his face.
"What happened?" I asked shaking
"You were having a bad dream. You were kicking and swinging your arms around." I started crying while Monte moved closer and tightly hugged me. "Shh, its ok I'm right here, babe. Now get some sleep." Monte covered us up and pulled me closer to his body wrapping his arms around me. I just hope that I don't go back to that nightmare.
The next morning I woke up later than I usually do, but I think I needed the extra hours. Thanks to that dream I laid in bed half the night wide awake. I heard laughing and talking coming from the kitchen, so I decided to play detective and spy. I walked down the steps and into the kitchen to see Malachai sitting on his father's lap and Kirstin sitting next to Craig smiling.
"Well look who's up" smiled Monte
"Mommy!" Malachai squealed running over to me and hugging my waist. I picked him up and kissed the top of his head.
"Good morning, sweetie" I smiled at him
"Here, I made you some eggs and poured you a cup of coffee" Monte said setting the plate of food on the table. I set Malachai down and walked over to the table and started to eat my food. Well mostly I picked at it because I really didn't have an appetite.
"Thank you. So Kirstin, how was the date last night?" Kirstin just smiled at me like an idiot, while I gave her a 'well tell me!' look.
"Craig asked me to be his girlfriend" she said smiling. When I heard those words I almost choked on my food.
"Chew! Then swallow!" Craig instructed
"But that was fast?"
"I know, but we really seemed to click. I really adore her" I was so angry inside for some reason I could literally feel my blood boiling. For God's sake I'm engaged to the most wonderful guy in the world and we have a son! So why am I so damn jealous?
"Congrats, but Craig she's pr-"
"Pregnant? It really doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that Ronnie tried to ruin our date and he wants no part of this baby's life." Craig was starting to get pissed as I was starting to get even more jealous.
"Babe, calm down. He won't bother us no more" Kirstin said kissing his cheek.
"Ronnie tried to ruin your date? Is that why you're sporting a black eye, Craig?" Monte asked
"Yeah, he came in all drunk and tried to grab Kirstin"
"But Craig defended me and made things all better!" I couldn't take hearing this 'My hero!' shit, so I got up from the table pissed and threw my dish in the sink.
"I'm getting a shower" I said walking up the steps steaming. What the hell is wrong with me?! I need to calm down.
After I was clean and dried I was sitting on mine and Monte's bed folding up our laundry. I looked into the mirror and stared at my reflection, I got up and took a closer look at myself.
"Am I losing it?" I asked out loud. Am I starting to lose it since I had Malachai? Why am I so jealous that my best friend is dating my ex? I should be happy right? Right!
"Babe? What are you doing?" I looked towards the door and saw Monte standing there looking at me
"Oh, I thought I had an eyelash in my eye" I lied
"Oh, so I was thinking that we get the whole group together and go out tonight"
"Yeah, that'll be nice. I'll call my mom to see if she can watch Malachai"
"Alright, but no booze one of us has to be able to drive." Monte said walking to the closet.
