His Love

I Tried

Damn maybe I shouldn't have brought it up.

"I'd say I know yo ass ain't that stupid to be messing with a fucking pig. Not only are we not so squeaky clean but neither are you and you still talking to nighas in the hood. You know how easy that man could get shit out of you."

"Okay James calm down it was just a hypothetical."

"Well hypothetically yo ass bet not be fucking with no cop." He said mugging the shit out of me.

Instead of answering I gave my niece the remote then went to my room. Like damn we all know my brother but I didn't think he was gone do all that.

I had just stripped off my scrubs when James walked in.

"Look my bad for flipping out but I won't take back what I said. A cop is worse then a dope boy. But if that's what you want I can't stop you but I can try to convince you that he ain't the right one."

I shook my head and went into my en suite. I heard the front door shut as I hopped in the shower.

Today was boring I thought as I washed my hair. Hurrying my shower I rushed out to call my future.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Laying down watching Aladdin with my nephews."

"Where's Brayden?"

Before the question was all the way out there was a picture message coming through on my phone. It was of them. Brayden was asleep on his chest while Michel and Adin were on either sides of him tuned into the movie.

"Awwww that is so cute.... When are we going to have one?"

I heard him sigh through the phone. "When you decide to tell yo family about us, when we are living together and when we are married."

"Well I started the process. I kinda told my brother about us."

"What's kinda?"

"I posed it as a what if kinda question."

"That's not exactly telling him now is it."

"I tried Mano, you have to give me that." I said getting frustrated. Hopping out the bed I stood in front of the window. Couldn't he see that I was doing the best I could given the circumstances?"

I heard shuffling before he finally spoke. "I've given you a year Yazmine, a year to tell your familia about us, a year to stop acting like tu follando sola, un año to get your shit together, a year should've been enough, hell tres mes should've been enough time. But you've had a year, un follando año to tell your familia. And your year, is just about up babe." Before I could get a word in, he had hung up.

Got dammit I thought stomping my foot. How does he not know that whether my family knows about us or not, i'm all in, how could he not get that I want him and only him.

I laid down in bed while shooting him a text. "I love you babe, goodnight"

"Yeah just not enough huh." Was his reply.

Instead of answering I sat my phone on the dresser and cut on the tv.

Before I knew it I had dozed off.

"Yazime I know you are not still sleeping, you promised you'd take Perish to her doctors appointment." Annemarie whined, sitting on my bed.

"Marie her appointment is at 1 it's only 10." I said putting my head back under the covers.

"True but I have to be in class in 30 minutes and Prince has already left for work."
