Fight For Me

Alexis

"Alexis come here!" I stop applying my eyeliner and walk into the bedroom. "What?" He comes up behind me. "You look beautiful." "Baby you interrupted me for that? I have to get ready to go. I have to get to work in thirty minutes and it's going to take me twenty minutes with no traffic. You already know how the highway is at this time of morning." He massages my shoulders. "Breathe baby. Your car is ready for you. Go finish you're face and then I'll drop you off. I know all the back roads that you refuse to learn. You'll get to work within ten minutes."

I make it to my job clocking in just in time, I told him it would be traffic. I walk inside my classroom and see my coworker Tia. "You know DeAndrea kept peeking her head in here." I roll my eyes, "She needs to find some business about herself and stop worrying about me. Preciate you for covering for me though." "You already know I got you girl. Long night?" I smirk, "Very." She laughs, "Okay Chris."

I check my phone while the kids play on the playground. "What's up ma?" I tuck my phone away quickly and turn around seeing old friend Zay standing there. "Hey Zay what you doing here?" "Came to pick up my son early." He points to a little boy in my class name Malachi. I didn't know that was his son. "His mama never told me his teacher was the one and only Alexis James." "Maybe she didn't feel a need to bring it up." "Hm. It was good seeing you." "Likewise."

"You know Malachi's dad?" I shake my head yes. "Girl that man is rolling in some dough." "Since when?" The last time I saw his ass he was still riding the bus with some ratchet bitch. Zay was my baby. The crazy thing about the whole ordeal is me and my big sister Zola almost got arrested for going on that bus and showing out that day. "Girl like two years ago he came up inheriting his grandfathers company." "Hm... Ms. James class it's time to come inside."

I prop the door open and count as the children walk in. "Alexis let me see you in my office." Here this bitch go. "Okay. Tia can you finish up here? Ms. King is about to bring their lunch in a minute." "Yeah I got you." I walk inside and into Ms. DeAndrea Johnson's office. She moves her things around the desk. She looks like she just got back in here. "Alexis you were almost late again." "I know DeAndrea but I got here just in time." "You're constantly checking your phone when your supposed to be watching the children. Tia isn't the teacher, she's the teachers assistant. She should not be performing your duties."

"Once again I know and apologize. She's only covered for me a few times." DeAndrea shakes her head, "Im sorry but you're fired." My mouth drops open and I really want to reach across this table and drag her ass to the parking lot. "Cool." I get up and out.

"Baby where you at?" He finally answers the damn phone after I've called five times. "The crib. What's wrong?" I sigh, "I'll explain when you get here just hurry up." We hang up and I post up against the building. I can't believe this bullshit. A car horn blows and pulls into the lot. "What's up Lexie?" It's August brother Ty. "Hey." I say dryly. "Why the long face?" "Just got fired." "Damn forreal? And you stuck walking home? That's fucked up." I suck my teeth, "Please go on and continue you're day." He laughs, "Chill I was making a joke. You always taking everything so serious." I see Chris pulling in.

"Catch you later Ty." I get inside the car. "What happen?" "Where were you?" I semi yell. "I just told you I was at the house. Why you sweating me?" "Why the hell yo phone always in yo fucking hand until I call? It took me calling yo ass six times!" He grabs my hand, "Baby I'm sorry. I'll answer the next time. What happen at work?" "I was fired." "Why?" He asks sounding as offended as I was. "Almost coming in late, not performing my duties. Bullshit ass excuses like that." "Damn baby. I'm sorry."

"Who was that you was talking to before I pulled up?" He asks. "It was just Ty." "Oh."

We get back to the house and I shower as soon as I get inside. Wrapped up in the towel I walk into the room. Why the fuck does it smell like this? "Chris." "Yeah baby?" He walks inside the room. "What you spray in here?" "That's not your perfume?" Stale facing him, "You know that's not none of my damn perfume! Who the fuck you had in my house?"

"Alexis calm yo ass down!" "Chris I swear to God." He removes my towel gripping my ass bringing me closer to him. "Stop." I moan against his mouth. "Stop trippin so much over lil ass shit." He parts my legs open with his knee. "If you're cheating on me I will kill you and -" His thrusts shut up my words and turns them into moans.

The day rolls by and it's now night time. We lay there after we went round after round after round. "I love you baby." Chris says kissing my forehead. "I love you too baby." His phone starts ringing. I glance over at it. "Who the fuck is that?" "It's about business." He walks out the room. It's 10 o'clock at night who's making business calls this time of night. "Business my ass." I throw his pillow on the floor and walk into the hall for a sheet. He's sleeping on the floor tonight.

"Baby what you doing man?" "You finish your damn business call on the floor." I roll over cutting my light off. "Playing with me like I'm stupid or some shit. A fucking business call." I mumble to myself. "Alexis."

A few minutes later, I feel the bed push down. Chris gets in trying to wrap his arms around me. "Don't fucking touch me." "Baby stop trippin I'm not cheating on you! I swear." I don't give a flying fuck what he has to say. "Whatever Chris." Im so tired of arguing about this shit. Since I found them numbers in his pocket almost a month ago I can't help but to think he's cheating. He claim they just numbers from some random bitches but let them random ass hoes know you have a girl. I let my suspicion get the best of me at times but his actions ain't helping either. Actions always speak louder than words.
