Love The Way You Lie

-Chapter 23-

I didn't even notice King had came and got back in the bed with me until I felt him kissing the back of my neck .. I woke up smiling, I rolled over staring him in his eyes ..

"I gotta go" he said kissing me

I sighed and sat up looking at my digital clock across the room that read 8:07 am .. King got out of bed and started putting on his clothes .. I sat in bed and stared at him as he walked over to me, he kissed my first forehead first followed by a kiss to my lips ..

"When will I see you again ?" I was disappointed he was leaving ..

"I'll call you" he said running his fingers through my hair ..

I got out of bed and walked him to the door ..

"What you got planned for today ?"

"Got some business to handle with Caine"

I bit my lip and nodded

"I'll call you aight"

"Ok" I replied

He walked out of the door and I closed the door behind him as I shook my head .. I went and got my phone to answer Nicollas phone calls .. It was obvious she had just woke up from her groggy tone ..

"You call me ?" I sat on the couch

"Yeah, what happened to you last night ?" She asked

"I don't wanna talk about it Nicolla"

"You never wanna talk about it E'mani !!"

"Nicolla, don't start !!"

"Well it's the truth !! You're my bestfriend and you bein all secretive & shit !!"

"It's for a reason Nicolla .. Shit is complicated right now, and I don't wanna hear about what I need to do or should be doin !!" I replied

I heard Nicolla sigh on the other end "We done been through too much together for me to judge you E !!"

"It's not about that, some of the stuff that's been happening I don't even want to say out loud Nic .. Caine is bein Caine !!"

"What about King ?" She asked

"King is growin on me .. I don't know whether to pull back or what .. I cant read him"

"Maybe it's nothin to read into" she said

"He ain't as perfect as he seems I'm sure" I said

"I'm sure too, but he's probably a good dude let your guard down E'mani"

"We'll see"

"You gonna come to KOD tonight ?"

"Maybe, Ill let you know"

"Aight bitch .. well, Im about to go back to sleep !! I ain't leave KOD till bout 3 !!"

"Slow night huh ?" I asked already knowing

"Hell yeah, broke ass mu'fuckas wasn't hittin on nothin !!" She said with a slight chuckle

I laughed "Alright Nic, I'll see you"

"Alright"

She hung up and I went back and deleted Kings messages out of my phone, then I ran up on Caines unanswered messages .. In addition to the ones I never answered last night it was a total of 9 messages, I sighed not really wanting to even read them knowing they had nothing nice to say ..

"Caine: I might not make it tonight.. Got some business to handle .."

"Caine: what you doin ?"

"Caine: E'mani, I'm sorry about earlier ma .. Imma do better .. I lost my cool again, you aint deserve that .. I love you girl !!"

"Caine: Mani call me back"

"Caine: What the fuck you doin ?"

"Caine: You pissin me off .."

"Caine: I know you still mad but at least.. text me back"

"Caine: I aint lettin you go E"

"Caine: I'm on my way, Your ass better be sleep"

I sighed in pure frustration, Caine was too much .. The fact that I didn't know what he was capable of pissed me off even more .. I just wanted to get away, the Caine I first met was nothin but a front .. and allot crazier.. I unlocked my phone and texted him back, I knew he'd be walking in at anytime ..

"Me: I just woke up Caine"

I got up and got in the shower to wash the events of the previous night off of me .. the last thing I needed was for Caine to come in and for me to smell just like another nigga !! I was also wondering where he was even coming from .. by the way King talked it seemed like he knew Caine was somewhere with a female but didn't want to tell me .. I was drying off when Caine opened the bathroom door staring me up and down .. I didn't say anything to him, instead I just wrapped myself up in my towel and walked past him ..

"Where were you ?" I asked flipping the script on him before he could flip it on me

"I told you I had some business to handle" he replied still studying me as I sat down on the bed

"What kind of business & where ?

"It ain't important" he replied sticking his hands in his pockets

I shook my head as I stood up and dropped my towel sitting back on the bed to apply my lotion .. Caine walked over to me and pushed me back on to the bed ..

"What are you doing ?" I asked attempting to get up

He bent down pressing my stomach back down making me fall back on my back .. the first thing that ran through my head was that I had just fucked King a few hours ago and I wasn't trying to fuck both of them in the same damn day !!
