The Love I Missed

Chapter 39

Zaijah,

My lips were swollen and I looked a mess.
I'm screwed I thought to myself as Eli looked at me with shock. He wasn't expecting me to be in here, especially with Kash.

Kash dapped up Eli and I looked at them baffled.

"Y'all know each other?" Kash looked between us and Eli scoffed.

"She my dawg's baby momma"

I facepalmed myself. Kash looked back at me then at Eli.
"How do you two know eachother?" I asked him.
"Eli my plug, I buy dope off him"

I pursed my lips.

"Zai lemme talk to you real quick" Eli flicked his chin up at me then licked his lips harshly.

"I'll call you" I said to Kash.
"Aight" he side hugged me before walking away.

"It was none of your business for you to tell him that" I said agitatedly and he shrugged.

"The man deserves to know what he's getting into, it ain't my business so Ian gone tell Kiron because that nigga always trigger happy, but you should be careful"

I rolled my eyes, "Be careful? Elijah I'm literally single and what I do is none of Rey's business or yours."

"Okay Zaijah, ion know how you gon cover up them hickeys cause that jacket sure ain't covering shit" he laughed to himself and walked past me into the room.

I returned upstairs and Kaliah was no where to be found. I pulled out my phone to text her but she didn't reply so I left assuming she went off with Cain.

As soon as I got home, I got my hygiene together. Rey was in the bedroom so I used the guest bathroom. I walked in our bedroom's walk-in closet then got dressed. I put on booty shorts and a cami before heading to the bathroom.

"He fucked me up like I did something" I muttered to myself as I used foundation and concealer to cover up my hickeys.

I walked into the bedroom and got in the bed with Rey who was scrolling on his phone.

I turned to him "Is everything sorted for Jamarni's birthday party?"
"Yea, we need to pick up the cake tomorrow before heading there"

"Okay" I pursed my lips and went back on my phone. I felt him eyeing me like he always does, it's too awkward being separated and to be realistic, we shouldn't be in the same bed either but this is MY bed and I ain't moving.

"Where did you and Kaliah go?" He sat up and faced me. Ever since he came out of jail, he's always fully clothed but I think it's because he's cold or sum.

Kiron,

"Went to your club" she yawned and laid on her side facing me. "How's our son"

I looked down at her and we made eye contact, "He's so attached to me, I tried to shower earlier and he sat outside the shower playing with his Ipad"

"He has attachment issues because he thinks you'll leave again" she played with the bed sheets.

"But I won't"
"Really Rey?" She dumbfaced me.

"Zai don't start" I huffed then laid on my back. "How's my baby doing" I rubbed her lil bump.

"This one didn't cause trouble like how JJ did, no morning sickness I just feel more horn-" she cut herself off and I raised a brow at her. "We're good Rey" her whole demeanour changed.

"Mood swings? Mmcht."
"Shut the fuck up, your lucky I don't report your ass for destroying my shop. You need buy me another"

"I don't buy things for cheaters"
She furrowed her eyebrows at me and I couldn't help but laugh, she looked adorable.
