The sound of keys jingling at the front door took my attention off the TV.
'Either that's Vanessa or I'm imagining things cause there's no way Slaughter came back' I thought as I readjusted how I was sitting just in case it was him
I heard trainers being kicked off before footsteps made their way towards the living room "Yo, you feeling better?" his deep soothing voice sounded
Slaughter stood in the door way holding two bags, one clearly had food in it as the delicious smell wafted into the room.
"A little bit" I half smiled at him as he made his way into the room and placed the bags on the table "Where did you go?"
He smirked as he looked at me "What you saying? You missed me?"
I rolled my eyes trying to wipe the smile off my face "No, you just left without saying nothing so I was just wondering"
"Is it?" He shook his head with a laugh before taking a seat next to me, his signature scent made his way up my nose causing my stomach to start doing backflips, he smelled soo good as usual "I grabbed us some food innit" He nodded towards the bags as he threw his arms around the back of the chair making himself comfortable "I thought you'd be hungry and them little sweeties Vanessa bought you weren't gonna do nothing special"
"Thank you Slaughter" I smiled ''How did you know there was sweets in the bags though? Why was you looking through them mr nosey''
"I had to" He chuckled ''I had to make sure she didn't have me transporting nothing dodgy in my car''
''Dodgey?'' I laughed ''Thats rich from you Mr Drug dealer''
''Good one'' He spoke sarcastically before he took a second to run his eyes up and down my body almost as if he was examining me "Wagwarn for you though? You don't look sick" He raised his eyebrow "The way Vanessa put it, I thought you was on your death bed''
Him saying this reminded me that I did indeed currently feel like shit, but it was like his presence gave me a natural high, making me forget about what I was currently enduring and giving me a much needed dopamine burst "I'm on my period, I'm not sick but I do definitely do feel like shit"
He nodded in understanding "Okay, so that explains how your little out burst earlier"
"What do you mean?"
"You was giving man hella attitude when I knocked" He laughed slightly "I should've drapsed you up but I decided to lowe you"
I laughed loudly "Bye. You would never"
"Yeah alright Sydney" He spoke sarcastically
"I don't even know why I'm being nice to you" I piped up suddenly remembering that he hadn't spoken to me in weeks prior to this "You said you'd text me and you didn't"
He sighed as if he was anticipating this "My bad, I've been busy innit"
"So have I, that doesn't make me incapable of sending a text or two though"
"So why didn't you?"
My face screwed up and I found myself unable to hide the irritation in my voice when I spoke "You don't text me back when I text you and furthermore you gave me your word that you would shout me, which you never did. If you're not interested just say that cause I'll happily find someone who is"
"Chill out man" He snapped "You ain't gotta do all that"
"It seems like I do at this point, there's plenty of niggas that wil-"
