Cereal & Meetings

I pull out and stand from the bed to watch her calm down from her high. "I'm serious, Ariyah." She looks at me still shaking. "I don't want him anywhere near you again." She nods. I walk out of the room and to our bathroom and get a warm wet towel.

"Alex." She whispers while I clean her. I look at her and nod for her to continue. "He was my friend. I really didn't think he would try to do something like that. I'm really sorry." She says sitting up and stopping my movement.

I take a deep breath. "I'm not mad at you Ariyah. It's just, I had Isiah in my ear this whole week telling me something would happen and I kept telling him I trusted you. And I still do but to be able to trust others around you like I did tonight, I don't know if I can do that." I say honestly.

She looks down from my words. "I understand baby. But like I said, we are going to end up having a meeting with his parents and most likely with him too. You'll be there if that will make you more comfortable." She tells me while holding my hands and playing with the rings.

I nod. "Yeah I guess. I'm sorry again. For lashing out but seeing that he was still out there just set me off."

She kisses me and presses out foreheads together. "It's fine baby. I'm just glad we're ok." She says softly. I nod and kiss her back. She grabs the back on my neck and pulls me back on top of her.

I pull back just inches away from her lips. "You really were beautiful tonight baby. I'm sorry your night was ruined by assholes." I joke.

She laughs and shakes her head. "It was made up by being with you. I should've just stayed home." She kisses me my forehead and I lay my head on her chest while my body is in between in her legs. She massages my head and uses her other hand to trace my back.

"I love you." I say kissing her chest.

She giggles. "I love you too baby." My eyes shut at the relaxing moment and I fall into a deep sleep.

Sunday Morning

I wake up to Ariyah not in the bed. "Baby?" I call for her when I don't hear the shower. I get up and put on a sleeveless black Hero Academia shirt and black basketball shorts and my Nike slides. I walk out of the room and I'm met with the voices of Malin yelling at Ariyah in the kitchen and Isiah in the living room watching One Punch man while eating cereal. My cereal at that. "The hell is going on?" I ask irritated that I didn't wake up next to my girlfriend and then walk into my brother eating up my Frosted Flakes.

He looks up at me and then swallows. "Mornin sis. The girls are in kitchen talking about last night. Malin is pissed." He says putting another spoonful of my cereal in his mouth. I take the bowl away from him. "Hey!"

I sit down on the couch and continue to eat my cereal. "Why is Malin so mad?" I ask while Isiah just stares at me.

He slouches in the couch with his arm crossed. "Malin came over to ask how last night went and when Ariyah told her exactly what happened she started going off saying that she was stupid to even allow him back into her life when she's with you because she knew Jackson was still in love with Ariyah." He explains.

My brows furrow and I roll my eyes. "It's been resolved. She ain't gonna be around him no more. There's no need to continue to put her down." I stand up and walk towards the kitchen.

"No Alex. Let them talk." Isiah yells for me when I walk into the kitchen and see Ariyah with her back against the kitchen sink and arms folded and head down while Malin is in front of her with her hands on her hips.

"What the hell Malin?!" I yell getting the girls attention.

"The hell me? What the hell is your problem?! You taking your anger out on people again Alex!" Malin yells in my face.

My head goes down in disappointment. "He deserved it Malin." I mutter.

"Deserved or not, Isiah and I saved your ass last time when this happened and you told us it would never happen again!" She yells poking into my chest.

"It's fine Malin, please." Ariyah begs.

"It's not fine. This can go very wrong. Jackson's parents are powerful Ariyah. He might not want to press charges out of feeling guilty but his parents, especially his mother, will pressure him into doing so." Malin says.

"Babe come on. They both feel bad for what happened. It'll get talked about tomorrow at the meeting." Isiah says trying to calm down his girlfriend.

Malin rolls her eyes and goes back to the kitchen island. "I'm sorry. But this is serious. Alex," I look up at her, "this cannot happen again." I nod in agreement.

I look at Ariyah. "Baby I'm sorry." She apologizes. She pulls out her phone and sees a calls from her dad. "Hey dad." She pauses. "Yes I know. Yes she's fine. Well if he told you what happened, why is it a problem? Yes sir I understand. Yes we will be there. She's right here mom." She rolls her eyes and hands me the phone.

I take it confused and put the phone to my ear. "Yes ma'am?"

'Alex are you really ok? Jackson came to our house this morning and he told us what happened.' Ariyahs mom said.

I swallow. "Yes ma'am. I'm fine. I really didn't mean to cause problems for you guys and your business. I just."

'There's no need to apologize honey. But Jackson's parents are furious. So tomorrow morning you both will come down to our office and we will all have a discussion together to determine what happens now.' She said in the tone like Ariyah when she's in a meeting at work. 'We're proud of what you did for Ariyah sweetie. Don't upset yourself over this. Please.'

"Yes ma'am. Thank you. See you tomorrow." I say and we hang up. "We're meeting them on Monday." I say sitting Ariyahs phone down on the counter.

"Ok baby." Ariyahs says kissing my cheek. "Can you cook breakfast please, I'm hungry." Ariyah asks with a pout.

I smile. "Of course baby." I kiss her softly. "Why did you let Isiah eat my cereal?" I say seriously.

"Baby, we needed him out of the kitchen and he kept saying he was hungry." Ariyah says laughing.

"I'm right here!" Isiah says still eating the bowl of cereal.
