In Love With a Thug✔️

Chapter 29

~1 year later~

It's been a year later and things have been great between me and Malique. We even had another baby a few months ago. Her name is Promise and she's the spitting image of me. Why did we name her Promise? Because she was conceived the night we made the promise to never cheat on each other again. Jr is just as bad as ever. He is just like his father. Jr is now 1 years old going on 2 years old.

Ever since that night Malique has been different. I don't know. He's more caring than usual. He caters to my every need and want.

Malique accepted the fact that nothing could come between me and Jonah's friendship and said "fuck it." I think it helped a lot that he was back in New Orleans, as was Jasmine and I missed them everyday.

My phone rang and it was Jasmine. I smiled and answered the facetime call. "Bestie boo." Jasmine sang her beautiful face showing up in the camera.

"What do you want, Jasmine." I faked aggravation with her.

"So we're using full names now?" she pouts and I roll my eyes.

"What do you want, Jassy?" I correct myself and she smiles.

"That's better. Well anyway. What's up bestie? How are you doing?"

"I'm doing okay, just bored." I say honestly. I haven't left the house since I've had Promise and I was mad annoyed.

"You need to get up out the house." she says and I roll my eyes. Obviously I need to get out of the house.

"I want a job." I say and Jasmine stopped what she was doing and stared at me. "What?"

"You want a job? How does Malique feel about that?" she ask and again, I roll my eyes. I haven't talked to Malique about me getting a job because I didn't want him to shut me down.

Since I started having his children he didn't want me to work anymore.

I'm sitting in the room just watching TV. Both Promise and Jr are sleep. I hear the door open and know it's Malique getting home.

I hurry to the front to greet my man.

"Hey mamas." he smiles back at me. I walk over to him and throw my arms over his neck and peck his lips.

"Hey daddy." I say pecking his lips one more time. "We have to talk." I say trying to get out of his hold but he just holds me tighter and I giggle.

"What you wanna talk to daddy about." he says, pecking my lips and finally letting me go.

"I wanna get a job." and there was silence. Malique just stood there looking at me like I was crazy.

"Why?" he asked and now it was my turn to look at him crazy.

"Because I hate being in the house all day. I'm bored, maybe if I got a job." I stop mid sentence.

"No." he says and walks away from me, not even listening to what I had just said.

"Why though Malique? I'm bored in the house all day. You're barely ever here because you're always at work."

"Because I said no. You don't need no job bae. Where the kids gonna go?"

"I think Jr is old enough for a daycare. Hell Adrianna would love to keep them."

"Nope, not gonna happen. My kids aren't going to be nowhere but here, with you."

"But Ma-" I'm interrupted by Malique.

"No buts mamas. You don't need no damn job. Why you wanna job anyways. You need to be here with the kids and waiting for me to get home from a long day of hustling so you can cater to me." he says walking away from me and into our room.
