Since we all grown up, you tryna show me
What you tryna do now, huh
You played me once before, now you feel like you want me

"I wish I would have had a baby shower...but she got so many gifts as is." Maleah sighed, looking through her purses to pick out which handbag she wanted to use for the day.

"I don't think you supposed to be up and moving around the way you are, you need to relax baby-."

"Woah...don't call me that." Maleah turned to look at Chris as though he'd lost his mind, him instantly raising his hands in surrender from the threatening look in her eyes.

She didn't even understand why he was there, not wanting to really be under the same roof as him although it was inevitable. Getting released from the hospital 2 days prior, she was happy to be home, but dreading the fact it opened a door for her and Chris to have even more communication than before. This time because her mom wanted to speak to the both of them for whatever reason.

"My fault, my fault." He apologized, nibbling on his bottom lip to refrain from laughing. He tried to give her her space and boundaries, but he would be lying if he said it wasn't difficult. However he just had to continuously remind himself to keep cool if he wanted to be around Nova, since she ultimately had control over that. He could be petty and act dumb, but he would never bring her to court or go that far when it came to the baby since he knew she didn't want to cut him out from being a father. A word of her doing so prior was simply based off of his actions.

"Mhmm...anyways, I got sent a lot of stuff for her and I mean a ton. She doesn't even need all of this, and because Nova's so little she won't even fit all of it anytime soon- look." Maleah held up one of the little outfits on the top of the stack with her bottom lip poked out. Taking a seat on her bed while formulating a response, Chris instantly jumped to his feet while looking as though he was about to be sick, Maleah eyeing him weirdly from the look in his face.

"You be fucking that bitchass nigga in this bed that you watched me sit in?" He raised an eyebrow, causing Maleah to straight face him because she thought something was actually wrong.

"I'm not fucking anybody in that bed, him and I haven't- my sex life is none of your business-."

"Nah, you and him haven't what? Continue..." He cupped his hand next to his ear as a goofy grin spread across his face. Reaching out, he grasped the back of her crop top to pull her body into his so his front pressed against her back. Sucking her teeth, Maleah instantly pushed him away while he nodded.

"Why are you even here? I told you to meet me at my mother's house, not for you to come with me." She rolled her eyes in annoyance, grabbing her comb to make sure her long hair was smoothed out in the way she wanted. Though she wore a hat, she didn't need to deal with flyaways. Running his tongue over his lips from how good she looked, Chris had to take a step back to admire her entire frame.
