Say Goodbye (A Chris Brown Love Story)

Chapter Eight

I was a little scared the whole night, you could just feel the tension between Chris and Rodrick. We were eating pizza and because Rodrick kept glancing at me, Chris ended up moving to the love seat and he made me sit in his lap. Chris was never this protective of me before, I guess he was actually scared that Rodrick was gonna do something to me.

We were watching a movie and I started to get sleepy in Chris's arms. Daniella was already passed out on Rodrick's lap. Chris's chest was so warm, I wish I could always sleep on him. It was getting late and I felt Chris nudge me.

"Baby, go upstairs." He whispered, causing my eyes to fly open. Did he just call me baby?!

"W-what?" I stuttered, wiping my eyes and looking up at him.

"It's late, and you're sleepy, go upstairs." He said.

"Oh, okay." I started to sit up and I saw Rodrick glance at me again. Chris must've seen him too because he suddenly sat up, wrapping one arm around me and kissing my jawline. It caused me to giggle and I leaned in his arms, placing a kiss on his neck. I liked how he was claiming me like this, it made me feel like he actually wanted me.

"Go upstairs and put Dani in her bed." He said in my ear. I nodded and stood up, walking over to Rodrick to get Daniella. He was just staring at me as I picked her up, laying her head on my shoulder. I was glad to get out of there. As soon as I got upstairs, I felt a whole lot better. I couldn't stand to be down there with them. After I put Daniella in her bed, I dragged myself to my room and grabbed my black night gown, changing clothes quickly. Once I was comfortable, I fell out on my bed and pulled the blankets up on me. The bed didn't feel like Chris's warm chest but it'll do. I felt drugged and I was about to fall sleep when my door opened.

"Mariah." I looked over and saw Chris. "Come here."

"I can't, my legs are broken." I whined. He chuckled and walked over, slipping arms under me and picking me up. I wonder what he wanted with me but then I realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. God, he was so sexy, and his tattoos made him even sexier. I started to trace one with my finger and I saw Chris smile as he carried me into his room. He laid me down in his bed and I wanted to ask him why I was in here but I stayed quiet. Then he slid in next to me, tugging the comforter up over over both of us. Was he actually letting me sleep with him tonight? He cut off the lamp light, making it completely dark and I felt his arms wrap around me. He WAS letting me sleep with him! He and never let me before, not that I had asked but sometimes when I was in here and he was about to go to sleep, he'd tell me to go to my room.

"Chris." I whispered, turning over in his arms so that I was facing him.

"Hmm?" His hands rested on my back. I leaned up and kissed him softly. He deepened the kiss, tightening his arms around me. I wanted him so bad but I didn't want him to freak out like before. I slowly ran my hand down the front of his chest, seeing what his reaction was. When he didn't do anything, I went down to his abs, feeling each one of them. But when my hand reached the top of his boxers, his hand grabbed mine, pulling it away.

"Baby, please." He grumbled tiredly. "I'm just not ready, you know that." I was still shocked at the fact that he had just called me baby. AGAIN.

"I know, I'm sorry." I said softly, wrapping my arm around his torso. He sighed and held me close as we both drifted off to sleep.

In the morning, I was sitting at the table with Daniella, giving her some medicine and feeding her applesauce. The medicine was just to help so she wouldn't feel bad while she was at daycare.

"Mariah, she can feed herself." Chris said, walking into the kitchen.

"Chris, she's 4, she hasn't had the chance to be a baby and she's so cute when I feed her."
