Love and Pain {Book 2}

Chapter 8

Ming Lynn's Pov:

After I Got Out Of The Shower I Got Dressed In All Black. Black Tee, Black Leggings, Black Tims And Even Black Socks. I Left So Much Stuff I Forgot I Even Had. I Put My Hair Into A Very High Ponytail. When I Walked Downstairs Que Was Staring At Me.

"What?" I Asked Him.

"Nothing, You Look Good." He Said Smirking.

I Tried Not To Blush And His Smirk Turned Into A Smile. Damn, What Is He Doing To Me? I Walked Past Him And Into The Living Room.

"So You Got Any Plans For Today?" I Asked While Taking A Seat On The Couch.

"Uh, Nah."

I Huffed.

"Aye Don't Be Doing All That." He Said Walking Into The Living Room.

I Side Eyed Him And He Came And Sat Next To Me.

"Seriously, Nothing Planned?" I Asked.

"Nope, I Just Want To Stay Here And Spend Some Time With'chu. We Can't Just Do That?"

"Fine."

I Put My Feet Up In His Lap And Laid My Head On The Arm Rest Of The Couch. My Phone Buzzed And I Took It Out My Pocket And Looked At It. It Was James, Asking Where I Was, If I Was With Que And Some Other Crap. I Looked Up And Que Who Was Looking At Me Intently. I Put My Phone Back In My Pocket.

I Sat Up And Crawled Over To Que Laying My Head On His Shoulder. He Put His Arm Around My Waist And Pulled Me Close. Being So Close To Him Made Me Feel Good, Safe, Secure. He Was Warm, As Always And Smelled Good. He Didn't Have On Too Much Cologne Like Other Guys I Knew.

I Closed My Eyes For A Second, Reminiscing. I Missed Que Being Apart Of My Life And I Didn't Want To Be Mad At Him Anymore But I Still Was. I Couldn't Help Being So Upset. How Could You Claim To Be My Best Friend And Then Hurt Me Like That.

"You Tired?" He Said Breaking Me Out Of My Thoughts, Making Me Open My Eyes.

"No."

"Yo, Can I Tell You Something."

"...Sure."

"I've Always Been In Love With You, Even When We Were Kids...And I Still Am."

I Didn't Say Anything. I Actually Couldn't Help But To Smile. Why The Hell Is He Just Now Telling Me. Why Didn't He Tell Me Years Ago, Like When We Were 14 Or Something.

"...Que?"

"Yeah Baby Girl."

"I Love You."

"I Love You Too. Forever And Always."

He Kissed Me On My Forehead And I Closed My Eyes, This Time Falling Asleep In His Arms. When I Woke Up Que Was Gone From His Spot On The Couch. I Looked Around The Room. I Stood Up From Spot And Went Toward The Stair.

"Que!" I Yelled Out.

"Upstairs In The Bathroom." He Yelled Back.

I Walked Upstair And Saw That Que Was Looking At His Self In The Mirror. I Walked Up Behind Him And Wrapped My Arms Around His Waist, Nuzzling My Face Into His Back. It Was Completely And Utterly Quiet And I Was Okay With That. He Set His Hands On Mine.

"I Don't Want You To Hate Me Anymore." He Said

"I Don't...I Just- Im Just Still Mad."

I Let Go Of Him And He Turned To Me.

"I Love You Ming Lynn Lee And Don't You Ever Forget That, Understand?"

I Nodded. Later That Day We Went To A Hookah Lounge. We Chilled And I Called June And Told Her To Come And To Bring Tony Too. When They Showed Up It Was A Little Quiet. Then I Realized, Que And Tony Never Got To Meet. They Introduced Themselves And We Continued To Kick Back.

"So What Are You Going To Do About James." June Whispered To Me.

" I Don't Know, I'm Gonna Have To Talk To Him."

"And Que."

"We're Getting Back Onto Good Terms."

"Honestly Ming, Neither One Of Them Is Good For You. They Are Both Cheaters And James Is Too Physical."

I Looked At Que Who Was Conversing With Tony. Was June Right? Maybe I Need To Take A Break From Guys For A Minute. I Had Everything I Needed With The Shop, I Didn't Need Anything Else.

After Leaving The Lounge Me And Que Went Back To His Place. I Needed To Get My Truck So I Could Go Home.

"You Really Gotta Go?" Que Asked Leaning Back On My Truck.

"Yes Que. I Have Work In The Morning."

"What That Got To Do With You Leaving."

I Side Eyed Him And Opened The Trucks Door, Hopping In And Closing It. I Started It And Rolled Down The Window.

"Get Off My Car."

"Rude." He Said As He Stood Up Straight And Turned My Way. "Text Me When You Get Home."

When I Got Home It Was Completely Dark. I Walked Up The Driveway And To My Door, Unlocking It And Walking Straight In.

I Turned The Light On And Was Shocked When I Saw James Sitting On The Couch. He Looked Up At Me.

"What The Hell James, What Are You Doing Here?" I Asked Him

"We Got Business To Handle."

"How Did You Get In My House."

"I Had A Key Made."

He Got Up And Started Walking My Way. I Was About To Pull Out My Phone And Call Que But As Soon As I Did, James Snatched It Out Of My Hand, Threw It To The Floor And Stomped On It.

"What Is Your Problem?!" I Screamed.

In A Matter Of Seconds I Felt James Fist Against The Side Of My Face, Knocking Me Off My Feet.

"I'm Not Gone Play Games With You Ming."

"Have You Lost Your Damn Mind."

He Grabbed Me By My Shirt And Looked Me Deep In The Eye.

"Baby Girl, You're Mine, And You Not Going Nowhere. Gone Head And Tell Him I Hit You, I'll End Your Life And His."

I Was Shocked And Scared. Who Was This Standing In Front Of Me. This Was Not James, This Was Someone Else.

"Get Your Hands Off Me." I Said Pushing His Hands Away.

His Fist Dashed Across My Face Again And This Time Harder Than The First. I Grabbed My Cheek.

"I Own You, That's It And That's All."

He Walked Out, Leaving Me On The Floor With A Pain Filled Face.
