Can't Stay Away

Chapter III

Stephanie

I woke up to the smell of a warm breakfast. Girl hurry up out of this nigga house and get your stuff, You have to study for your test at home. I thought. Damn, medical school ain't no joke.

I walked downstairs, following the trail of fresh hot French toast and maple syrup. And King was there with nothing on but his boxers and Nike socks on, while I had nothing on but my bra and panties. I tip toed on his cold wooden floor, to the island. "Good morning." He said.

"Good morning." I said.

"How was sleep?" He casually mentioned.

"It was... good." I said. I walked up to him and he gave me a weird ass hug. Like a hug you give to like a groupie.

"Well here's yo plate ma." He put my plate and his on the island and sat down and ate. I was still stuck from this hug he gave, I walked up to him and looked in his eyes. Something was different, nothing was there, any other time I could see how much he cared for me and loved me, they were just black. Nothing. I got sad and ran upstairs.

King

I chased after her because I knew she saw that the feelings that I had for her was slowly dying inside me. Its just she can't have both and I ain't no one's second choice.

I ran to the locked bathroom door and I heard her weeping. "Open the door." I said. "Why are you in here?"

"I just want to go home King Damion." Her saying my first and middle name meaned she was serious.

"Why?" I asked. She never answered back. "Hello? Open the door so we can talk baby." Even calling her baby felt weird. After ten minutes, she opened the door and stormed pass me into my room and layed in my bed. I crawled next to her and grabbed her. "Now what's going on?"

"Do you still love me King?" She squeaked.

"Of course, but you have a nigga now, if you mines I want you to be only mines Steph. I'm for damn sure not gone be second and you know this." Her eyes welled up again.

"But even when I'm with him, I still think about you and love you as much as I did from when I seperated from you." Her comment shocked me.

"Well you can be with me then baby." I kissed her.

"But, I love De'Shawn too." I pushed her away.

"Man make yo mind up. You can't have yo cake and eat it too." I pulled out an already rolled blunt up and I began to smoke it. "I stopped caring enough about you, because you was gone get that nigga hurt. Matter fact, since you wanna go home get ya stuff on and come on. Imma take yo ass home, so you can be with him." I spat. I felt the jealousy come out from deep within.

She smacked her lips. "This how you gone do me?"

"Yup, til you make yo mind up. Talkin bout me, yo ass can call me when you ready. I ain't never gone go no where regardless, but this shit gotta stop. Who is it gone be?"

"I don't know." She yelled.

"Let me make it up for you... Him. Get yo shit and come on." I said I put my clothes on and sat in my car. After 15 minutes she came out and got in. I took her home, I parked two houses down, because I aint wanna start shit between them. She looked over at me. I chose to not look her or in her eyes, because they was gone make me regret everything I said.

"So, we really done?" She said. I never answered back. "King please I'm sorry. I'm just going through something and its hard. I need you please baby." Her voice shook. "King. Please don't leave me." I felt her hand creep up to my chin and she turned it her way. Now I'm looking in her soft big eyes and I knew she was for real, I couldn't leave her if muhfuckas paid my billions. She was like a drug that I needed to be alive. She pulled my lips upon her's and we kissed passionately. She put my middle console up and she got on top of me. She stopped and hugged me. "Never leave me King, I love you."
