It's Us Against The World

Chapter 27

Maleak's POV

I was woken by the doorbell ringing, so I got up and slipped on some basketball shorts before walking downstairs. I got shit to do tomorrow morning, so who the hell ringing my doorbell at three in the morning? I got to get up in three hours.

I looked out the peephole and saw Keyshia standing there. I opened the door because it's probably and emergency, about Dani.

"Keyshia? What happened? Is something wrong with Dani or something?" I asked still half sleep. She shook her head no. "Something happened to me." She said softly.

"What!?... Ard come in." I said moving aside. She walked in going straight to the living room before sitting on the couch. I walked and sat next to her trying to shake my tiredness off.

"So what happened? Did someone hurt you?" I asked staring her in the eyes. It is clear that she is drunk, but she must be sad because she's not acting all crazy like she usually does in this situation.

She shook her head yes as tears formed in her eyes. "Who? I'll handle this shit right now!" I shouted as I jumped up. "Was it that lil boyfriend you got?" I asked now wide awake and mad as shit.

"No," she said in a whisper as her head hung low. "Then who was it? I'll beat whoever's ass, I don't care who it is!" I shouted now pacing back and forth. "You," she responded. I turned and looked at her as tears fell from her eyes.

I instantly calmed down, as I still breathed heavily from being so upset at first. "What?" I asked feeling confused. "You hurt me Maleak! It's always you, and it's always been you. You hurt me everyday, you've been hurting me since we even started having sex." She said as tears fell down her face at a more quicker pace.

I sat down and rubbed my hands through my hair, stopping at the back of my head. I looked up at her for a few seconds. "I'm sorry, and I honestly mean that. I don't mean, and didn't mean to ever hurt you." I said staring her in her eyes.

She wiped her eyes, then gave a small smile."I need you to tell me you love me Maleak." She said seriously as her smile had left as quick as it came. "I love you Keyshia, and I will always love you no matter what." I said staring deep into her eyes.

She crawled on top of me staring me in my eyes before kissing me. Then she sat on my lap as she kissed me. I felt her running her small hands under my shirt, rubbing my stomach all the way up to my chest. I grabbed her waist and rubbed circles on her bare skin with my thumbs, as little moans escaped her mouth.

But I told myself I was moving on from Keyshia. She's with some other nigga treating him with love while she treat me like shit. She's too dramatic and since she is young she doesn't know what she wants and I'm not going to sit around to find out.

I'm loving this moment, I want her right here and right now. She don't know what she's doing, she's drunk. She probably will regret this tomorrow morning. But she probably went out tonight because her and her little boyfriend probably got into a fight and broke up. I am not about to be her rebound nigga, what the fuck do I look like.

I pulled her off of me, she sat there on my lap looking at me like I'm crazy. "Aye ma you got to go. I ain't about to be your rebound nigga. If you and your lil boyfriend having problems then that's y'all. Don't bring me in this shit unless he put his hands on you, threaten you, or say or do anything to my daughter." I said before sliding her back onto the couch, sitting her next to me.

"But you said you loved me, and your not a rebound because Tee and I are fine. I don't know what I'm doing here, I'm just really confused. I don't know what to do anymore, and I feel like I'm going crazy.

I just want to be with you, I just want you. It's always been you, I never wanted to be in a new relationship. I didn't want to be hurt anymore and the more we saw each other the more you kept us a secret. Then I got pregnant and scared.

Maleak I don't know what to do or to say, I'm just so confused. I just know I want you and only you, but I don't want to hurt anymore and I don't want to hurt anyone."

This can't be her talking, she has been hurting me since I found out she was pregnant. Not because she was pregnant, just the way she acted towards me and treated me. I don't got time for her lies, she's drunk and want some damn attention. She need to sleep this off, then maybe she'll make sense and be back to the normal Keyshia.

"Okay that's enough, you need some sleep." I said picking her up. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she got comfortable in my arms. I don't know why, because she's not staying in them. "Maleak you do know I love you right?" She asked as she was slowly blacking out. "Yes, I do know that Keyshia." I said walking up the stairs.

"Why don't you call me Keke anymore?" She asked lowly. "Because you changed, you're not my Keke, you're someone else. I don't know if you call this growing up or being a mom, but I don't think of you or see you as the same girl I use to know." I said reaching the top of the stairs.

"I'm sorry, there's an explanation for everything, I promise. Just forgive me, I know I've been a pain in the ass, and I'm not even your pain in the ass but I'm a pain in the ass to you." She said as I opened the guest room, yup got my own house; my parents helped out but I did a lot of it myself.

"Can I sleep with you?" She asked. I'm not sure if that's a good idea, she's a snuggler. "Please Maleak, it'll help me sleep better. I just want you to hold me one last time at least, pleeeaassee." She begged.

I blew out a deep breath before turning around and walking to my room. I opened the door and laid Keyshia on the bed. I began to undress Keyshia, before going into my drawer and taking out one of my shirts and putting it on her. To me it's normal sized, but on her small and petite body, it looked like an oversized T-shirt or nightgown.

I picked her up and pulled the blanket back before laying her down and tucking her in. I would've allowed her to get into more comfortable clothes herself, but she was blacking in and out. Afterwards I pulled my clothes off once again then getting in bed.

I am hesitant to hold Keyshia, I don't know if it will feel the same. I was taken out of my thoughts, when Keyshia scooted back to me, then taking my hand and put it around her waist as we both laid on our sides facing the left of my room.

After feeling her in my arms again, I felt the softness I missed. I smelt the smell of her coconut scented hair that I missed. I felt the warmth of her body on mines that I missed the most.

I wrapped my arms around her tighter and pulled her to me, holding her like I use to. The only difference is this time I held her like I am never going to hold her again, which I probably won't.

I felt Keyshia relax a little more in my arms, telling me she had fallen asleep. Then I soon fell asleep although I tried to stay awake so I can cherish this moment.
