Ms. Fallon (GXG)

Punishments & Promises

Alex POV

SMUT TIME

After finding out about Isiah and everyone calming down, Isiah came back to Ariyahs house so we can talk. Ariyah is actually kinda pissed at me for yelling at her and calling her by her name and basically risking killing my self. So she's been ignoring and avoiding me ever since.

"The doctors said they can remove it. But it'll be a risky procedure. And it's not guaranteed it won't come back." Isiah says as I lay my head on his lap and he plays in my hair like we did whenever one of us was really stressed about something. I used to do it ALOT before he cut his hair.

"But it'll atleast be gone for now. It's a good thing you caught it before it grew anymore." I say.

"Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't tell you as soon as I found out. You already had Ariyah to take care of I didn't want you worrying about me too."

"But you are going to do the procedure right?" I ask.

"Hell yeah I am. I couldn't live knowing I had a chance to live and didn't take it, leaving you, mom, Malin and Ariyah. I'm the man of this family I gotta hold us together." He says and I can hear the crack in his voice.

I sit up and hug him. He hugs me back. "I love you Isiah. Don't ever keep something like this from me again or I swear I'll kill you before the cancer does." I joke but serious.

He laughs. "Never again. I love you too." We pull apart and wipe out tears. "Now enough of this sappy shit. We got a game to finish and I'm pretty sure I was up by 4." He said and we grab the controllers and continue the game.

He beat me 112 to 107. I let him win but don't tell him that. "Dinners ready guys! Come eat!" My beautiful and forgiving girlfriend calls from the kitchen where Malin and her have been at since Isiah got back. Malin has been ignoring Sai as well for worrying her and leaving her with no way of getting home.

Ariyah made salmon and rice and asparagus. "Ooh this looks and smells delicious baby." I praise and go to kiss her but she dodges me and goes to the fridge to get wine and sodas for us to drink.

Isiah snickers at the encounter but stops when Malin eyes him. We all sit down at the dining table in silence. Ariyah and I sit beside each other on one side and Malin and Isiah on the other. "This food is amazing Ari. It may be better than Alex's." Isiah says trying to stir up conversation.

"Thank you Isiah. I'm glad you like it." She replies back with a smile.

"Uh yeah baby this is great. You should start cooking for now on." I say. She clears her throat but doesn't reply. I look at Isiah and his face says 'this is awkward'. I lean to her ear. "Baby come on, I'm sorry. I was upset, please don't do this." I plead.

She looks at me. "And I'm upset so I guess you got to deal with it." She attempts to stand up but I push her leg down and put her back in her seat holding her there.

"Will you guys excuse us?" I say to our friends but keeping my eye on my pissed off girlfriend.

They get up and take their plates with them. "We'll be in the living room." Malin says.

"With the tv on high volume." Isiah whispers but Malin hears and pulls him out of the living room.

"Baby I'm sorry for yelling and addressing you as 'Ariyah'. It was mean and hurtful and I'm sorry. It won't happen again. But do not ignore me." I apologize looking at her as her eyes have been stuck to her plate since I set her back down. "Baby talk to me."

"It wasn't just you yelling." She looks at me. "You were going to drive Alex. You would've hurt yourself or gotten yourself killed if I hadn't stopped you. What if I couldn't have stopped you?!" She yells and stands up to take her plate to the kitchen.
