Boundaries

Chapter 14

[Andrea ]

I laid in Deon's guest room watching pretty little liars.

I haven't really gotten around to talking to Deon about everything. He was currently back home taking care of business.

He told me to wait until he got home because he wanted to talk to me.

Shortly after my binge watching got tiring deon was knocking on the door.

I got up to open the door.

He stood there smiling carrying a bouquet of white roses.

"Are those for me? "

"Haha. No. They're for the kitchen table " he said sarcastically.

"Nah, I saw these and thought of you. " he handed me the flowers and walked off to the kitchen.

I stood there smiling for a while.

I swear I'm like a high school girl that has a crush.

He sat on the couch with a bowl of icecream.

I sat down beside him and curled up with the pillow.

"You can get closer. I won't bite. And plus I know you cold. Them little ass shorts you got on. Lemme warm you up."

I giggled and snuggled up to him.

I felt so secure.

"So. Can we talk now? "

"Shoot " I was now paying close attention to him.

"I've been meaning to tell you. If you would like, this could be your permanent home. I only want the best for you and Yoheaven. You'd pretty much be living here free other than food matters. I want you to be comfortable and not have to worry about shit. "

"I don't wanna be a burden to you Deon.." tears threatened to fall.

This was a blessing.

He was a blessing.

"Listen. Andrea I wanna show you that I'm here for you, I want you to know that you and your daughter are safe with me, you could never become my burden. I want you here with me. I need you here. You see I nearly burnt down the house trying to make yall breakfast last week "

Our laughter filled the room.

His laugh is so heavenly.

"But anyway, I'm serious about this. I don't know how to word this, and you might either fall in love or hate me forever for what I'm about to say.. "

"But you have something that so many niggas look for but can't find. Like.. I don't wanna let you slip through my fingers. I can't let you go. Your the woman I've been praying for. I knew you we're special from the moment I saw you with yo goofy little birthday tiara on. I wanna know what makes you smile, I wanna know what angers you, I wanna know all your secrets and I'll tell you mines in return, I wanna know everything about you. I need you man.. everyone has an addiction and mines just so happens to be you and that daughter of yours. I wanna be able to make the both of yall happy, shit, more than happy, I need y'all in my life. Only if you'd let me in. If you'd at least tear down that wall a little bit so I can climb over and show you what you've been missing. "

Tears fell down my face.

I grabbed his face and kissed him passionatly.

"Okay. Fuck it. I'm all yours." I smiled and kissed him again.

He sat there with the biggest smile ever.

"You serious? "

"Yeah. " my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard.

He wiped my tears and smiled even harder.

"Say it again. Let me hear it again. "

"I'm all yours. " I smiled devilishly.

Deon was truly heaven sent.

I was slowly falling in love with the kid.

For the rest of the night I cooked him dinner, and we sat up watching Netflix and eating junk food.

I haven't felt this way In so long.

I've longed for this.

Being that kevin is the only person I've been with, I never knew how refreshing it could be to experience this with someone else.

I was at peace.

In that house I wasn't at peace.

In that relationship I wasn't at peace.

I was always on edge.

At this point..

I know it sounds horrible but, fuck kevin and everything he stands for.

I was finally done with him.

Forever.

If it was Sienna dirty ass that he wanted, then he can have her and they can struggle together.

I was tired of being mistreated.

I was tired of not being paid attention to.
I was tired of being a sex toy.

I was tired of my worth not being noticed.

I was tired of crying.

I was tired of chasing after a nigga that clearly didn't love me as much as I loved him.

And it's nice to say..

I'm done.

With all of it.

It was time to just coparent and work on our relationships.
