Kira

I don't need validation, to tell me who I am.
I have lived the situation, and I've learned to understand. There's no such thing as imitation, I exceed expectation. I have learned to love me.

It was around two in the morning and I was sitting on the sofa drinking a glass of wine. Perri Jones was softly playing on the speaker and I had my candle lit on the table with all the lights off. More than anything, I was just chilling and thinking to myself. I took the day off for the next day which is why I was up so late.  My music was interrupted by a call from Bri. "I'll call her back in the morning," I said to myself because I honestly didn't feel like talking. She called again and I ignored it. That third time let me know that something may be wrong so I answered the phone.
"KIRA!!! Put some clothes on now! We gotta go to the hospital. Drea called me upset and crying. Marcus got shot."  Over the past couple months, not only had I been with Shootah a lot but I also grew close to Drea, Marcus, and Jay as well. DeeMan wasn't around as much but he was cool too. Believe it or not , in the short period of time I've known her, Drea had became more of a sister like Bri to me so I most definitely wanted to be there for her. She was one of the realest people I knew and she was a sweetheart. I felt bad because she called me while I was in the shower. I made a mental note to call her back in the morning only to find this out. Not to forget Shootah. I knew he was hurting too. Even though I was upset with him, I wondered if he was okay.
            I blew out the candle and quickly rushed to put clothes on. I put on a Nike sweat suit, a Nike hat and Nike slides. Bri was already outside waiting on me. I got in the car and she sped off. "What the hell happened?" I asked her. "I don't know honestly. I'm worried about her. She has to calm down. She's pregnant Kira. She told me when she called me crying about Marcus." I shook my head and said a quick prayer to myself for Marcus and Drea. We pulled into Grady's hospital parking deck and quick rushed inside. I found Drea slumped over crying in her hands. Shootah was sitting beside her trying to calm her down but moved once he seen us. I guess he thought maybe we could help calm her down more. He went to go sit with Jay and DeeMan. I sat on one side as Bri sat on the other side. We rubbed her back and encouraged her that it was going to be okay. "I can't loose him y'all. He's my best friend. I can't do this without him," Drea sobbed. My heart felt heavy for her. "I know baby girl. You have to calm down though Drea. Marcus is going to be fine," Bri said to her. We finally got her to calm down after a couple minutes or so.
              After about 20 minutes, a doctor came through the doors and said, "family of Marcus Cooper?" We all jumped up at once. "Yes, I'm his girlfriend. Is he okay?" Drea softly said. "Drea right?" the doctor asked. She nodded her head yes somewhat confused of how he knew who she was. "Marcus told the nurses your name before he fainted. The bullet barely missed his spine and he has lost a lot of blood. He's gonna be okay but I need to quickly get him a blood transfusion. You're the same blood type so we need you as soon as possible." The doctor led Drea to Marcus while the rest of us waited.
       I turned around to be met with Shootah standing over me. His eyes were red and I could tell he wasn't okay. He looked me in eyes and I seen a tear fall. My demeanor and emotions of being mad faded away and I became soft in the inside. I reached in to give him a hug. Shootah held on to me tight. He grabbed my hand and led me to sit beside him. The doctor came back and told us that Drea was staying with Marcus and that we could see him in the morning.
          "Did you drive Kira?" I shook my head no. "Stay with me tonight," Shootah said. His voice and tone made it hard to say no. "Okay," I softly said. He stood up and grabbed my hand leading me out the door. I text Bri letting her know I was about to go. We hopped in his car and he pulled off to go to his place. "Wait, Donte. I need some clothes." He shook his head. "Nah you good. You can sleep in mine and we'll go get you something in the morning." I looked at him but didn't say anything. We pulled into the parking deck. He scanned the door to his place before letting me in. Shootah had a penthouse so you could see the whole city from his living room. His living room was surrounded with glass windows. The city lights shined brightly against the night sky. I stood at the glass windows looking out at the city. I felt him hovering over me before he turned me towards him.
"Look I want to apologize to you about my crazy ass baby mama. It's not what it seems." I felt myself getting upset. "Then what was it Donte? I mean damn, I know we're not together but you lied to me. All you had to do was keep it a buck with me. I would have understood." He rubbed his hand against his face. "You're right. I apologize but if we really keeping it a hunnid, I don't want her. I was just playing my role. I should have just told you what was going on." I didn't want to have the conversation right now so I tried to walk towards the other side of the room to sit down. I shouldn't have came over here.
Shootah grabbed my wrist before I could walk away. "Kira, today made me realize a lot of shit. When you left earlier, it just made me realize how much you mean to me. The thought of even loosing you as my friend hurt me. Then with Marcus getting shot , it most definitely open my eyes. This kind of shit is hard for a nigga like me but ima just say it. I know you got feelings for me ma. It shows. I'm feeling you too. I would never do nothing to intentionally hurt you. I love you too much for that." Did this man really just tell me he loves me? It's like he read my mind. "Yeah I said I love you and I mean that shit. Women like you don't come everyday and I'm not about to let you slip away from me." I was speechless as hell but manage to look him dead in the eyes and say, "I love you too Donte." He brushed his hand across my chin and pushed it up towards his face before kissing my lips. Chills rushed through my body. He deepen the kiss and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer.
            It was like an electric shock ran through my body. Shootah picked me up in his arms and I instantly wrapped my legs around him. He carried me to his room and laid me on his bed. He stood up and took his shirt off before pulling mine off. I didn't have a bra on which left my top body completely exposed. He pulled my pants and panties off. Shootah hovered over me before his lips crashed into my mine. He made his way to my neck first before putting my nipples in his mouth. My body was on fire at this point. He then made his way down to my pearl. He dove in licking and sucking on clit. I felt my juices dripping down my leg. He had my breast in one hand playing with my nipple  and two fingers inside my pussy with the other hand. "Damn girl, you taste so good," he said. That turned me on even more. He began licking my spot at a fast pace taking his fingers in and out. "Aww fuck, Donte! I'm about to cum!" I screamed out. A feeling came over me that I hadn't felt in a long time. My eyes rolled to the back of my head as I climaxed. My legs were shaking but he wasn't finished yet. He stood up and took his boxers out. I became nervous at this point because his dick was thick and long. It must have shown on my face because he smiled and bit his lip. He climbed ontop of me and kissed my lips. I hissed as he inserted his dick slowly. "Fuck! It's so wet and tight," he moaned. Shootah moved in and out of me slowly giving long and deep strokes. I stratched his back as my moans filled his room. He picked up his pace slamming in and out of me causing me to scream. "YESSS, BABY!! RIGHT THERE!!! DON'T STOP!!!"  He pulled out of me before flipping me over. I stood on all fours before he arched my back pushing his dick instead. He slammed inside of me making love to me from the back. Shootah grabbed me by my hair and whispered in my ear. "I love you Kira. I'm not going nowhere baby girl. I promise." I told him I loved him too as we both climaxed at the same time . We took a shower together and fell asleep.
