"What do I do next Tati?" Skilla asked his sister through the Facetime call. Skilla's phone was propped up against the microwave as he maneuvered around the kitchen listening to his sister coach him on making iced coffee.
It was only nine in the morning and with everything going on these last couple of days, Skilla thought it was best to bring Alexis back home to Los Angeles with him to give her time to heal and deal with the miscarriage. It had been almost a week and Alexis had barely said a full sentence to him or anybody. He wasn't trying to be insensitive about the situation but he did prefer for her to open up and talk to him about how she felt especially since he was upset about it too. He wanted them to get through this together and didn't want Alexis to think she had to deal with anything alone.
By three years, Tatiana, Trevon's older sister spoke, "That's it."
"Taste it first and make sure it's not bitter."
Doing as told Skilla took a sip of the cold brew before frowning. He hated coffee and even though it was sweet the taste of coffee disgusted him. He didn't understand how girls liked to drink it so much.
"This shit nasty," Skilla said before placing the cup on the counter beside the breakfast that he made for Alexis. He wasn't the best cook but just like any other nigga from the hood, he knew how to make good breakfast.
"You must like her if you cooking for her," Tatiana said with a side-eye. Tatiana knew her brother and she knew that he was very private with his love life but that was because she knew he didn't have a stable one. Skilla was known for being a ladies' man that couldn't be tied down. Tatiana and Latrice only met one of his girlfriends who was Skilla's high school sweetheart. After she moved to Miami to pursue her fashion career and left Skilla heartbroken, he promised himself to not bring another girl around his family unless it was serious.
Picking up his phone from off the counter, Skilla nodded his head before turning around in the kitchen being met with a fully dressed Alexis coming down the stairs. After days of being cooped up in bed, Alexis had decided to get up, shower, do her hair, and put on a lounge set.
"Imma call you back sis," Skilla said hanging up before she could even respond.
Trevon took in Alexis' beautiful appearance but couldn't help to become sad once he noticed her red puffy eyes. Instantly feeling down, Trevon walked over to Alexis' simply embracing her in a tight hug. Hesitant at first, Alexis wrapped her arms around Trevon, taking in the scent of his Native Coconut body wash.
The two stood in the middle of the kitchen in silence as they held each other tight.
"You look pretty," Trevon said as he placed a kiss on the side of her face. Alexis looked up at him with wet eyes showing that she had begun to cry. Taking the pad of his thumb up to her face, Skilla gently wiped the tears away.
