Jah
California
A few days later
Poking at the baked chicken Ms. Mary made Jah mentally sighed not even in the mood to eat.
He had so much on his mental, from this street shit to Liyah, it's like he couldn't catch a break. It was mainly Liyah, he couldn't help but think about the conversation they had a few days ago. He couldn't understand why she didn't want to move in with him as well as her pressing this relationship talk. Don't get Jah wrong he loves Liyah with everything in him and knows that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, why did a title need to solidify that?
It wasn't nothing that Jah wouldn't do for Liyah, he would go to hell and back for her, he was always there to pick up pieces as well as put a smile on her face and just overall show her that he's hers but it's like it's not good enough. The situation had him questioning himself and he didn't like that one bit. Jah never been in a relationship and maybe this was the reason why, why can't shit just flow naturally.
"Emin what's the matter?" Carla questioned not liking the energy Jah was putting off. He's usually talkative and perky, something was off. "Nothing nana I'm straight". He lied pushing the plate away completely losing his appetite.
Pulling his phone out he hit the lock button frowning a bit seeing Liyah and His photo on display. It was a picture of her kissing his cheek while they sat in the car. He thought the picture was cute so he made it his lock screen.
He would be lying to himself if he said he didn't miss her, she was his baby. But the energy she putting off wasn't sitting right with him, he was going to ask her to be his woman he just needed it to be the right time. He wanted to make it special, he knew that she never experienced somebody really loving her and genuinely doing things for her. He wanted to be the first and last person to do it, he knew that Liyah was for him. He just wanted her to be on the same accord with him.
"I done told you about that lying Emin, you suck at it so start talking", Carla too pushed her plate away wanting to get to the bottom of things.
Rubbing his face Jah leaned back in the chair closing his eyes, Ms. Mary had excused herself from the table wanting to give them privacy.
"I don't even know where to start it's about Liyah". Carla ears perked at Liyah's name, she hadn't seen her in about a week and she truly missed her. She loved her for her grandson, they were a perfect fit.
"Well what's going on with you two?" She rubbed his hand watching a small frown appear on his face.
"I don't know things just weird, I haven't talked to her in almost a week. I had asked her to live with me and she shot it down talking about we weren't together and she didn't think we were ready in other words. I guess it rubbed me the wrong way because we're dang near in a relationship. I love Liyah whole heartedly and it's nothing that I wouldn't do for her but I just feel like it's not good enough unless I officially ask her to be my woman, I do plan on it I mean I went above and beyond to cut out women in my life as well as move with grace and caution with her. I just don't know what to do or say at this point, I would of thought my actions speaking louder than my words which would be good enough", He explained running his hand over his freshly braided hair.
