I backed up from the door in fear and he walked in. He pushed me against the wall and ran his hand around the trim of my shorts. I had on a pair of Mike's black shorts that said lastkings on them and I had on a half shirt. He ran his hands threw my newly dyed hair and breathed on my neck. I shivered in disgust and fear. I tried to push him off me but he was just a strong as I remembered. He kissed my lips and I didn't kiss him back. I smelled the alcohol on his breath. He pushed himself closer to me and kissed my shoulder.

"Mike!!!" I yelled out. Marian put his hands over my mouth and pushed me into the closet. He tried to pull down my shorts and I kicked and screamed. There was no way I was going to let him take me again. I heard Mike yelling my name and I tried kicking the door but Marian grabbed my leg. I kicked him and kicked the door for Mike to find me. The door swung open and Mike drug Marian out or the closet. I got out and Mike was beating him.

"Call the police!" I ran to the kitchen and called them and went to find Mike and Marian was on top of him hitting him. I got this big vase off the table and hit him on the head and knocked him out. Mike got up and pulled me to him and I cried on his chest. He comforted me.

"Who was that?"

"The guy who raped me." I said into his chest. We heard sirens and I let him go and looked down. He lifted my chin and wiped away my tears.

"Go upstairs. I'll handle all of this. Please don't stress because you don't need to loose this baby. Go." He kissed my forehead.

About 15 minute later he came upstairs and got in the bed with me.

"When are you going home?"

"I don't know." He said pulling me to him.

"Will you stay the night?" My voice cracked and he made me turn around. I layed down on his chest and cried silently. "

"I'll stay as long as you want. Go to sleep. I love you."

"I love you too."

I woke up and I saw that Mike wasn't in the bed so I went down stairs to find him. He was in the kitchen on the phone with someone. When I came in he got off the phone and hugged me.

"What are you doing today?" He asked me.

"I'm taking Cai home and me and Tre are going to get ready for the party. We moved it up to tonight."

"Why can't you get ready with me?"

"Because it's me and Tre's birthday. We wanna do this together. He's like my brother."

"Better be." He said kissing my forehead.

I walked to the reception desk and got Cai release papers so he could sign them to leave. I knocked on the door and walked in.

"Hey babe." I took a deep breath and slightly smiled. I knew I had to tell him today but I don't even know where to begin.

"Hi." I gave him the pen and paper and he signed them. He already had his street clothes on so all we had to do was sign and go. We walked to the car and I started to drive to his house. Alot of things started going through my mind. I just decided to wing it.

"Look I have been thinking and I think we should date other people. And I also thought about that if Mike had cheated on me then I would've gave him another chance. But I just don't think we should be together anymore. Maybe it wasn't meant to be." I looked over at him because I didn't get a response. He was just looking out the window.

"So you're leaving me to be with Mike?"

"I mean we're not together but I love Mike I always have."

"Kehlani you couldn't  have told me that before things got serious between us? And don't you love me too? Or is it that you love Mike more? What can he give you that I cant?"

I pulled over and turned to face him. "I didn't know at the moment. Believe I would've told you. I love you I really do I just want to be with Mike."

"Soooo all these months were wasted?   All that we've been through? The miscarriage. Me helping you through your mental scars and then our child now and you're gonna leave me for some other nigga?"

"I-"

"Nah you know what? Fine. I can't make you stay and I won't beg you. All I know is I'm not about to have my child calling anyone else daddy. If you recall we both wanted this so I will be there for him or her."

"Of course. But are you going to fire me or take the house you bought?"

"Nah. You should know I ain't like that. I'm not even tryna be mad at you." With that I pulled back onto the road and we pulled into his driveway in 10 minutes. "I'll see you at your party tonight." He got out and wiped his face. I didn't realize he was crying because he wouldn't look at me. Even when he talked. I feel like shit. I saw him struggling to unlocked the door so I turned off my car and went to help him.

"Lani I got it."

"Cai give me the key." He finally gave me the key and I unlocked the door so he could go in. We walked in and I helped him up the stairs because he was still a little sore. "I'm gonna be with Tre for the rest of the day so if you need anything call me." He nodded and I walked to my car and called Tre.

"Hey tiny."

"Hey I'm on my way. But I told Cai."

"How did he take it?"

"I don't even know what to call it. It didn't go as bad as I thought tho." We stayed on the phone til I got to the mall where we were supposed meet. I gathered my things and got out the car.

"Boy who told you to match me?"

"I didn't know you were going to wear ripped jeans and timbs. So hush."

"Oh well. It's cute or whatever. We going to get your outfit first?" I asked walking through the door he was hold for me.

"Yup. I guess I'll let you choose my outfit since you've been begging me. But on one condition."

"And what is that?"

"I choose yours."

"Deal you better not be having me looking bad either."

"I won't cuz how it's gonna work is imma let you try on different outfits and I choose my favorite." I nodded my head and went to the men's section to find his outfit. I pulled out a white and black button up and some black pants. He followed me over to the shoe section and got him a pair of black timbs.

"You like it."

"Hell yes. I didn't know you had good taste like this."

"You should. I'm the one that dresses your brother."

"Fr?"

"Yeah go try this on." We walked to the dressing room and he threw everything on and came out. "I like it. Stay here while I go get mine." I quickly got my outfit and payed for it and went back to him with my bag.

"Hold on. Wasn't I supposed to choose your outfit?"

"Sike boy you thought. Besides it's a surprise you have to wait til tonight to see it."

"Ha." He tried to take the bag out of my hand and I ran in the dressing room but forgot to lock the door. He walked in and tried to get the bag again and he just stopped and kissed. Lord have mercy. I'm not doing this. Again. I stopped kissing him and ran out the dressing room and he chased me all through the mall all the way to the car and I finally gave up. I threw the bag in my car and locked it. I just hope he doesn't make shit weird between us now. I'm just gone ignore it and act like it didn't happen.

"Bruh that's fucked up. I wanted to see your outfit." I patted his shoulder sympathetically.

"You'll be okay. Come on. Time to go get my hair done and you coming."
