It was damn near 90 degrees this morning. Before the sun even came up I was sweating my ass off. Good thing we had a pool cause I needed to cool off. This hot weather was seriously fucking with my mood & my skin. An opportunity to cool down was what I needed. Plus, I was always jumping at a chance to walk around half naked. Ever since I lost all my baby weight, I developed a new confidence & Nani developed a new reason to yell at me everyday.
She would get super mad if I tried to wear crop tops or show a lot of cleavage. Don't even get me started on high waisted shorts; she would murder me if I even thought about it. I didn't even pay attention to her when she bitched, I honestly tried to tune her out. Every fucking day it was some new problem & I was getting sick of her bitching."Mac, where are my brown sandals?" I hear Nani holler from inside.
I'm by the poolside, lounging in a pool chair. Like I said before, I tuned her out most of the time so even though I heard her ask me a question I just ignored her. It was a forcive habit, not really on purpose.
"Max!" She hollered.
I sucked my teeth & turned my head around to face her.
"What do you want?!" I replied, extremely annoyed.
Nani rain up on me & towered above me. She grabbed me by my ponytail & twisted my neck.
"Who the fuck you talking to!?" She taunted.I tried to jerk away & set myself free but it wouldn't work. She had a firm grasp on my scalp. She eventually released me & threw me down to the ground but she contiued to hover over me.
"Whats your problem yo?" I questioned.
"My problem is you, man! You don't respect me at all." Nani complained.
"What bullshit are you crying about?"
"See, its that right there. You talk to me however you want & not to mention you cheating on me now!"
"You still clutching onto that? It was one time with one mistake of a bitch. I actively tried to resist her. Lets not forget you fucked some random bitch from MY CITY just cause she helped you find some fucking sneakers! And you had an ongoing affair with this ho!"
"Two wrongs don't make a right," Nani whined.
"I don't give a fuck, don't act like your bitch ass is innocent!"
SMACK! She quickly swatted me, making the whole right side of my face sting like hell. I quickly shoved her backward, shortly realizing I basically just challenged her.
"You wanna do this? You better sit your ass down," Nani warned me.
"Shut up!" I hissed as I hit her with a lefthand swing.
Nani of course didn't hesistate to punch me back and we started fighting. When I felt my body hit the water with Nani on top of me, I immediately panicked. I just wanted to get the fuck out of the pool. Thats how violent we were, we couldn't remember to move away from the pool before we started fighting.As soon as I pulled myself up from the pool onto the stone boarder, I could immediately hear the sound of my baby crying. I didn't even wait to see if Nani was okay. I staggered to my feet and hurried into the family room to check on my sweetie. She had just woken up from her nap so she was probably pissed that she couldn't find either of us to snuggle with.
I picked her up and held her close to my chest. Because of the hot weather she only had a diaper on so I wasn't soaking her clothes or anything.
"Shh, its okay mama." I cooed in an attempt to console her.It had been about 5 months since Camille's surgery and she was doing great. We went for tests every 2 months & so far shes still cancer free. The doctor actually says shes showing very good signs and this is the beat recovery he had ever seen. Nothing else made me happier than hearing him say that. I loved my babygirl so much & her being sick fucked with me mentally.
Nani came stomping through the living room, dripping wet just as I was. She came over to me, looking down at Cami.
"She aight?" Nani questioned.
"Yeah she just woke up." I explained.Although Nani pissed me off & smacked me around every day, you couldn't tell me she didn't love Camille. You could see in her eyes how much she loved my baby. Thats one thing that kept me around cause I'm not sure anyone else could love my daughter the way Nani did.
I took Camille to her play room & kept her in there while Nani & I continued to argue. Just cause we fell in the pool didn't stop the fight.
"I'm tired of you coming at me crazy," Nani complained.
"And I'm tired of you beating my ass like I'm your child. But we can't all get what we want." I responded.
"Don't act like you didn't used to hit me,"
"Yeah I did hit you! When you were a fucking crackhead that did dumb shit every day!"There was a mometary silence. I clearly struck a nerve within Nani because her face told the story. She couldn't manage to speak or defend herself.
After a single tear fell from her left eye as she finally spoke.
"Word? Thats how you feel?" She asked.
It was kind of shitty for me to put her addiction in her face like that. Especially because I knew how hard she worked to stay clean. With us fighting all the time & Cami having cancer, I knew it was hard for her to stay away from the dope.
"You be saying some fucked up shit too Nani," I tried not to pussy out.
I didn't want her to know I felt guilty.
"Whatever man,"
She turned to walk up the stairs but I gave in. I grabbed her arm, pulling her back.She had tears in her eyes & so did I. We were so broken and all I wanted was for us to be fixed. I wanted things to be the way they were back at my motel room in Cinicinatti. We were so into each other, it was like I was dreaming.
Nani kissed the crease of my neck & I followed up with a kiss to her temple, then her cheek & then her shoulder. Neither her nor I were good at apologizing. It took a lot for either of us to apologize to anyone. So this was how we apologized to each other, we just showed affection.
"We can't continue to live this way, we need help." I remarked.
"What? You want us to go to therapy?" Nani replied.
"We need to do something, we're gonna kill each other. Seriously,"
"You right baby."Nani placed a light peck on my lips and smiled for the first time in 3 weeks. She told me she loved me which I hadn't heard her say in a while.
"Do you really still love me?" I asked.
"Even though you're a big cranky bitch, I'll always love you." Nani explained.
"But why? Look at the shit we put each other through everyday."
"You're special, you're everything to me. I love you because of who you are. Ever since that night I brought you back to the apartment, I knew I wouldn't be able to shake you off."
"Bitch you're just tryna get in my panties." I rolled my eyes at her.
"I could get in them panties anytime. I ain't gotta butter you up to do that," Nani boasted.I chuckled. Her confidence was something I found real sexy. Ever since I met her shes been so certain & it turned me all the way on.
"You got it like that?" I remarked.
"You damn right," Nani responded, grabbing a handful of my booty.
"Girl, don't start."
"Watchu talkin' about? You started with me,"Giggling, I leaned in to kiss her. She put her lips over mine & laid the sloppiest kiss on me that she could manage.
"Kissing you feels so good," She whispered to me.
My hands snuck up the back of her shirt & my fingers traveled up and down her spine. She had goosebumps all over her body & so did I. I agreed, kissing her felt so damn good.
"Can you two go to your room with that?" Masaccio complained, coming down the steps.
