"Man just leave her be, I don't understand why you choosing to act all possessive and what not now when she been so clearly damn near pleading for you to get your shit together. I mean you been acting an ass to her for how long now?" Shaking his head, Chris clenched his phone in his hand tighter while pacing back and forth.
He wasn't sure what he was more mad at, the fact that Maleah went out and found somebody else to be giving her attention that fast, or the fact that when he called Luca he was expecting his friend to be on his side, yet he was only taking Maleah's. He knew he couldn't have been crazy for feeling the way he felt, justifying it in his head all morning that he had the right to be upset. Considering in his mind, she was purposely trying to hurt him, not the other way around.
"I been acting an ass? I stepped up for the kid, currently trying to protect her by housing her and her kid in a crib that's really off limits, and even going so far as bringing her out the country to relieve her of her stress. And this the shit she goes out and does?" Staring at the phone with a blank face, Luca would have jumped across the screen and hit him if possible.
He didn't care whose friend he was in terms of whatever situation Chris and Maleah had, because he'd been watching the entire thing go down from the beginning. He wouldn't act like Maleah was completely blindsided to everything going on because it was clear she wasn't, however Chris' mentality towards everything annoyed him. Feeling as though regardless of anything, Chris should have had a lot more respect for a woman bringing his first child into the world.
"You listed a whole bunch of shit that you supposed to be doing, so I don't know what type of ammo you thought that was. That girl ain't even do nothing to you except act a fool, while you been doing everything under the sun-."
"She ain't do nothing to me?! Is she or is she not going out her way trying to prove some dumbass point thinking imma come crawling back to her or something- it ain't even nothing to crawl back to because we was never together. How she upset at me when I never even gave her the idea that I wanted to be with her. I made it clear to Maleah since day fucking 1 that it was just sex-."
"Nigga you can say that shit a billion times if you want to, you wasn't giving that girl just sex. I have sat and watched you first handedly admit to her that you got feelings for her. You playing see-saw and I don't know why." Pausing from his walking, Chris pulled the phone back a little bit to eye it as though it had three heads, just as he seen bodies above his view.
Raising his head, he stared out of the living room window to see Maleah walking towards the house with a bright smile on her face, Michael close next to her with a smile mirroring. For a week, he'd had to deal with her leaving out early and coming back late due to her spending most of her time down there with Michael, the two of them instantly reconnecting the day after they first met, and everyday after that.
