Love More (Trilogy To New Flame)

His Promise

A'Jahnae

"Get off me, sis." AJ groaned moving around. I ignored her, closing my eyes.

Suddenly, I felt hands on my body. "Chris, what are you doing in here?"

"Baby, I can't sleep with you bein' in here." I sighed, pushing his hand off.

"A'Jahnae, you better go in there with your big head husband." AJ rolled over. I groaned, getting out of the bed. I pushed Chris out of the way, going into the bedroom. Seconds later, I heard him come in.

"So, you gonna be mad at me, huh?" I rolled my eyes, looking at the ceiling as he laid beside me.

"Just get out of my face."

"I'm not in your face. This would be in your face." I felt his lips touch mine and he sat back. "I know I was wrong but you gotta realize she is still the mother of my son, and she will always be."

"I never said she wasn't, Chris. Your son is almost a grown man, he has a daughter and everything. You telling me you sent her money for Jakari is dumb. You could have sent it to him."

"Okay, and I admit that was a lie. I sent her money because I have it, and I want her to be good." I shook my head as tears ran down my face. "Tell me why you're crying, A'Jahnae."

"You know why I'm crying, Chris. You're just making excuses as to why you still send her money. You don't need to do that, she is a grown woman."

"But don't I give you money so you can treat yourself? So why can't I do her the same way?" I balled up my fists but I put them under the covers, calming myself down. "I didn't mean to say that. But look, even though Jakari is his age, I should still be able to help her-"

"You know what? I don't want to hear anything else from you." I grumbled.

"I'm just..." He trailed off. I looked at him and saw he put his head down. His vein started showing in his forehead so I sighed.

"Take your pills." I pulled them out from the drawer. "Take the pain medicine first."

"I'm not taking shit." He looked away. I kissed his lips softly, handing him the pills. He gave in, taking them.

"I'm sorry." Chris looked into my eyes. I nodded laying down. 

Later That Day

"Fuck!" Chris hissed as I cleaned his wound for him. I had to clean it regularly so that it didn't get infected.

"There, it's all done." I bandaged it back up. He groaned laying back.

"It'll all get better, baby. I promise." I straddled his lap, kissing his cheek. His phone began vibrating. Before he could reach for it, I grabbed a hold of it and I saw that Jamira was calling him.

I narrowed my eyes at him but then I smirked, handing it to him. "Answer, and put it on speaker phone." He hesitated before answering.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Chris, the plane just landed." She breathed. "It was such a long plane ride." She giggled.

"Where did you go?" He asked.

"I came to London, I thought you knew I would."

"I didn't know that." Chris looked at me and I raised an eyebrow.

"What's your hotel name? I could maybe get a room or something next to yours? I don't know anybody out here." She laughed.

"Mmm, I don't know." Chris trailed off.
