Fight For Me

Chris

I wait for the line to go through. "What's up bro?" "I need a place to crash bro." "Damn. Alright come thru." August says. We hang up and I drive over to his. Fuck how the hell did I get caught slipping! I didn't even know D was pregnant until Odell told me and when I hit her up about it she called and let me know. She told me all the numbers and shit and it matched up but I wasn't gone say shit to Lex about any of this shit until I knew it was absolutely true. So much for that shit now.

"What's up brozay?" August says letting me in. "Man she found out about D." His jaw drops a lil, "Oh shit. How?" I sigh sitting down, "I went to take her to the doctor this morning and Alexis was following us." "Damn nigga!" "She threw all my shit out the window, she kneed my damn balls, told me to go try and have some children, and she basically fought my ass with tears in her eyes the whole time. That shit is haunting man."

"Man I already know the feeling." He says shaking his head. "Damn man." I sigh loud as fuck. "You ain't got shit here to drink or smoke?" I ask. "Man hell nah. We can go buy some though." His phone starts ringing. "Yeah... Chilling with Chris. What's poppin?..." He glances over at me. "Alright bet." He hangs up. "Jordan and Jayla tryna chill." He says. "Man you still kicking it with her?" "Nah dawg not like that, just friends. They got bottles and weed though." That's all I needed to hear. "Let's go."

We get over there and they already had it lit. "Damn what's up Chris?" Jayla says. "What's poppin?... Hey Jordan." I pour myself a drink. "What's up?" She responds eyeing August ass down. I ain't too sure how right he is about being them being just friends but shit who am I. Ima let my nigga do his own thing, I got my own personal problems to worry about.

"How you been Chris?" Jayla asks sitting beside me. "Been better. You?" I get a good look at her and her face has cleared up a lot since the last time I saw them. "Good. Lil miss crazy found out about DeAndrea?" She asks chuckling. "Hell yeah." "Damn. What she do?" She passes me a blunt. "What you think?" I ask before inhaling. She laughs, "I didn't do shit but ask a question. You're still the same guy you were back in school." I look over at her, "What you mean?"

"A lil know it all smart ass jerk." Jayla got some pressure or what? "You feeling some type of way?" I ask. "No. I'm just calling it like I see it. Alexis makes a good match with you. You think you know it all and she doesn't know shit dumbass broad." "Jayla you might wanna chill." "Why?" "She already beat yo ass once she wouldn't mind doing it again." She laughs, "Fuck that hoe. We can get down again shit anytime, anyplace."

I'm finally lifted as the liquor invades my kidneys and the weed places my mind on different level. I look over at August and this nigga is knocked out. My phone rings. It's Alexis! "What's up baby?!?" "Where you at?" "Chilling with Aug." "Where?" I can't tell her exactly where the hell we at, unless she already knows, man this shit could get ugly. "What's up baby?" "Chris stop avoiding my damn question and answer me." She yells, yeah she knows. "Chilling with August and Jordan and Jayla." I mumble. "So y'all just... Okay. I just wanted to let you know your grandma came by and I told her EVERYTHING. She has the rest of your stuff that I missed. I hope the bitch was worth all of the trouble Christopher I really do." She hangs up. I shake my head. I swear to God I won't ever hear the end of it from my grandma, she loved Alexis ass. Fuck, how the hell did I let shit go that far.

We leave they crib around 2am. I get inside, Aug shows me my room, and I sleep like a baby.

Of course I wake up with a hangover and a badass headache. "Shit." I roll over laying there. I pull out my phone to try to call Alexis but no answer. Sighing I get out of bed and walk into Aug's kitchen. I make a giant ass bowl of cereal and go back into the room. My phone starts vibrating against the bed. Thinking its Alexis I quickly put the bowl down and jump over to it. But it ain't her, it's my grandma. Here we go.

"Hello?" I answer. "Christopher!" I drop my head, "Yeah grandma." "Negro what the hell is wrong with you! Didn't I raise you better than that?!?" "But grandma-" "But grandma nothing, who the hell did you get pregnant?" "Her name is DeAndrea." She sighs, "I am very disappointed in you." "I'm sorry grandma."

"Chris if yo ass has to get the damn moon and give it to her to get her back that's what you better fucking do. I'm not accepting no other woman as my grand daughter in law, I'm not meeting no new girlfriend none of that Alexis James is it. If you want peace from me you better get her back and treat her like I raised your hardheaded ass to treat a lady. You don't do any type of wrong to the woman you love." "Grandma I messed up big time I know. I'm sorry and I'm going to do everything in my power to get my baby back."

Soon as we finish talking I put on a shirt and some gym shorts. I need to make a pop up and get this shit straightened out or at least smoothened out a bit. I head over to the flower shop to get Alexis's favorites. I ride over to the crib, her car is here but Zo's isn't. I wonder where she went. I put my key in the door and I'm surprised as hell it turned the lock and opened.

I walk into our bedroom to see she's sleeping. Her hair is a mess, her face is a puffy, she's all over the place but she's still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. God how did I fuck up with this woman. Her eyes flutter open until she realizes it's me standing here. "Get the fuck out." "Baby can we talk please?" I ask sitting on the bed. "You got two minutes." She says leaning up. "Baby I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have been cheating and I swear to God I cut that shit off a long time ago. I just found out she was pregnant the say before all this shit happened and I swear I was gone tell you once I knew."

I look over at her as she stares at the ceiling. "Baby say something." Tears start to fall from her face. "Chris you don't do this!" She goes to hit me but I pin her down. "Get from off top of me!" "Baby I'm sorry I swear." I plead. "Chris move!" I don't instead I lay there holding her in my arm. "I love you Alexis." I kiss her lips then move to her neck. "Chris stop. I hate you. I wish I never met you. Stupid ass-" I kiss her and after a few seconds she wraps her arms around my neck. If sex is my only way to get through to her, let's do it. I take my dick out and then she slides the condom on. Her touch alone is making me hard. "Ahh." She moans. Her moans are the only thing I want to hear for the next hour or two.

I lay in bed holding her, tracing her tattoo near her left shoulder. I remember the night we went and she got this. She was scared as hell. I still don't think Zo or her pops know about this tat. Oh shit her pops. I hope this shit did something or her father will kill me, literally. He knows people from all around the world and I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to use them. I kiss Alexis neck and then try to go to sleep myself.

As soon as I drift off the bedroom door opens. "Alexis seriously!" Zola yells. Well shit so much for that nap. "Zo be quiet he's sleeping." "Are you serious right now?!?" I hear Alexis sighing. "I love him Zo." I smile on the inside while I pretend to still be sleeping. "Alexis less than 24 hours ago you find out he was cheating and you kicked him out now he's back in your bed. Why? What the hell are you thinking? Sex won't make a man act right. He was probably just horny as fuck and you gave right into him." "Zola leave me alone." Zo sucks her teeth, "Alexis really???? You being so childish right now." "Let me be that then. Shut my door on your way out please."

I wake up to Alexis still beside me. I bring her closer to me careful not to wake her. "Chris." She calls out. "What's up baby?" "You have to go now." Well I knew this moment was coming. "Alright." I get up and throw my clothes back on as she watches me. I jog out the room to grab the flowers and back in her bedroom. "I got these for you." I kiss her cheek. "I'm sorry once again and I love you." I leave out and head back to August place. "Where the hell you been?" August asks as I walk through the door. "Trying to get my girl back." "Any luck?" "We fucked if that means anything." He laughs, "Damn still getting the pussy. I wish Zo would let my ass hit it." I laugh, "man good luck."
