Close Calls

Regrets

Today Carter was going to be out all day so I had the house to myself. I was planning on taking a hot bath and just relaxing. But those plans changed as soon as Carter texted me.

Asshole: Bae can you do me a favor?

Me: what?

Asshole: Can you come to the trap and bring some McDonalds? :X

Me: .... Ok Carter

I never fucking get a break. When he's not hitting me he's asking me to do shit for him and his homies.

I throw on my black leggings, blue and white hollister sweat shirt and black flip flops.

I grab my car keys and headed out to McDonalds.

---

"Welcome to McDonalds, how may I help you?"

"Yes, May I get 13 double cheeseburgers, 13 fries and a chicken salad" I say.

"That will be 33.50"

"Okay"

I drive to the next window to pay.

"You're change is 7.50, have a nice day" the boy put the change in my hand and I pulled up to the next window.

The lady hands me 3 bags and I pull off going to the trap house.

I really didn't want to see him at all. When he's around his boys I have to be extra respectful or I got my ass whooped at home. The smallest thing would get him mad so I take a deep breath and headed in.

I walked upstairs and the smell of weed became stronger. I knock on the door lightly before pushing it open gently.

"Babe, I brought you guys food" I say walking in putting the bags on the table.

Carter sits me in his lap and kisses me. "Thank you bae" he smiles at me.

All these greedy ass niggas dig through the bag and start eating.

"No drinks?" Someone asks.

"Nope I guess I forgot, I'm sorry guys" I apologize.

"It's ight Tamika" Tony says.

I smile at him. "Babe, I'm gonna go home and take a bath, I'll call you when I get out" I get off his lap and bend down to kiss him.

I feel eyes on my ass but I shake it off.

"Ight baby, see you at home"

"Love you"

"Love you too"

I walk out the trap and into my car.

I plug in my phone before driving off. Me and Carter's favorite song comes on, Show Me by Kid Ink feat. Chris Brown.

"Baby you remind me of something, I don't know what it is, but you remind me of something, girl you gotta show me" I sing swaying back and forth. I decided to take the long way home.

I pull up to the house, unplug my phone and realize Carter's car was already here. The fuck?

I unlock the door. "Babe?" I say.

"Upstairs" he yells.

I put my bag and keys on the counter and walk upstairs.

I walk to the bedroom to see Carter sitting on the bed.

"What are you doing home so early? You said u weren't coming until 12" I say sitting right beside him.

"I wanted to spend time with my baby today" he says raping his arms around my waist.

O.o this nigga...

"W-what?" I say stunned.

"What? I can't spend time with my baby?"

"You never want to" i say softly, not wanting him to hear.

"What do u mean?" He says getting frustrated.

"I just feel like you don't wanna be around me anymore. You're never home, and everytime I ask you to do something with me, you're always busy".

To tell you the truth I loved when he wasn't home. He didn't beat me or yell at me. But I need to sugar coat what I said so he won't get mad.

"That's how you feel Tamika?"

"Yeah" I say softly.

"Well for now on it's all about you, okay" he says.

Shit! What the hell did I do?

"But you have work and ever-" he cut me off.

"I can take time off of that for you" he says.

"I would love that of you didn't hit me".

Carter looked at me angry. Did I really just say that out loud?

"What did you just say?"

"Nothing I was just.."

"You were just what?"

"Nothin forget it"

Oh here we go again. He's gonna say all that sweet shit and once I fuck up he's gonna beat me senseless...
