She Saved Him

I Looked Over At Dex And Saw That He Was Fast Asleep With His Arms Wrapped Around Me. I Sighed And Removed His Arms From Around My Waist So I Could Get Up And Go Take A Shower.

I'm Glad I Had Dex Home With Me Again, But Lately His Sex Drive Has Been Through The Roof. All We Do Is Have Sex And Though I'm Not Complaining Because His Dick Is Too Bomb, But I Am Late On My Period And I'm Just Really Worried. Like Don't Get Me Wrong, I Do Want More Kids And Dex Is Already A Great Father To SaMiyah, But Now Is Not A Good Time For A New Baby. Besides...Dex's Friend Had Called To Tell Us That He Burned Dex's House Down In Atlanta And Semaj Made It Out Alive. That Scared Me To Death Because Now He's Missing And No One Knows Where He Is. All These Thoughts Were Circulating In My Head As I Started The Shower And Stepped In.

On Another Good Note, India Is Doing Good And She Was Released From The Hospital A Few Days Ago. She's Planning On Moving Pretty Soon And Hopefully She Takes Our Mother With Her. I Think We All Deserve To Get Far Away From Atlanta As Possible. She Also Revealed To Me That She Had Gotten Pregnant By Semaj And That She Had Gotten An Abortion, But It Sounded Like She Regretted Doing That. In All Honesty...I Think She Developed Some Type Of Feelings For Semaj, But I Could Care Less. If She Wants To Be Involved With That Crazy Ass Nigga Then She Can Have That!

After My Shower, I Went To Check On SaMiyah And Saw That She Was Still Fast Asleep. I Need To Start Spending More Time With My Baby Girl. I Miss Our Quality Time. I Headed Downstairs To Start Making Dinner And Clean Up The Living Room, But As I Started Pulling The Food Out, The Doorbell Rang.

"Ugh!" I Said As I Stomped Towards The Door.

"Who Is It?" I Asked.

"It's Lacey." I Opened The Door And Invited Her Inside.

"Hey...How Are You?" I Asked.

"I'm Good. Did Dex Tell You I Called?" She Asked.

"No...When Did You Call?" I Asked.

"Like An Hour Or Two Ago. I Was Gonna Invite You And SaMiyah To The Spa With Me And Morgan, But Dex Said You Were Putting SaMiyah To Sleep." She Said.

"I Was. She's Still Asleep Right Now, But A Spa Sounds So Wonderful Right About Now." I Said.

"Well That Offer Still Stands. Where's Dex?" She Asked, Looking Around. I Swear She Has A Thing For My Man, But I Know For One Thing...She Better Fall The Fuck Back!

"He's Upstairs Sleeping Too." I Said.

"Oh. How's He Recovering?" She Asked.

"He's Recovering Nicely." I Said. When We Got Back Home, We Told Lacey And Anthony That Dex Got Into A Car Wreck When We Were In Atlanta Visiting A Family Member. They Were Just Nosey As Hell So We Had To Tell Them Something So They Would Stop Asking Questions.

"That's Good. Well...I Have To Go To The Grocery Store. We've Been Having Some Company And They're Eating Us Out Of A House At Home." She Said.

"I Know The Feeling, But Okay. Call Me Later And Be Careful." I Said. She Nodded As I Walked Her Out And Closed The Door Behind Her.

SaMiyah And Dex Had Finally Waken Up From Their Naps And We Were All Eating And Watching TV. Dex Had The Meanest Mug On His Face And I Wondered What Was Wrong With Him.

"What's Wrong With You?" I Asked.

"Nothing. Why?" He Asked.

"Just Asking." I Said.

"Mm. What's Wrong With You?" He Asked.

"Nothing. I'm Just Tired." I Said.

"Well Pop One Of My Pain Pills And Take Ya Ass To Sleep." He Said.

"Daddy Stop Cussing!" SaMiyah Whined.

"I'm Sorry Lil Bit. I'll Try To Stop." He Said.

"Tuh...Good Luck With That." I Said, Getting Up From The Couch.

"Shut Up!" Dex Said, Slapping My Ass. I Was Use To Him Doing That Now, So It Doesn't Even Bother Me Anymore. I Walked Into The Kitchen And Sat My Dirty Dishes In The Sink. I Heard Dex And Them Loud Ass Crutches Coming Into The Kitchen Behind Me.

"Bae What's Up?" He Asked.

"Nothing." I Said.

"Nothing My Ass." He Said, In A Low Voice. "You Been In A Real Bitch Ass Mood And I'm Not Feeling It So What's Up? Don't Make Me Ask Again."

"You Know You Just Basically Called Me A Bitch?" I Said, Tryna Shift The Conversation.

"Nah...If I Wanted To Call You A Bitch Then I Would've Called You One Straight Forward. Bitch." He Said. I Couldn't Even Hold In My Laughter As I Started Laughing. Ugh...This Man Drives Me Crazy.

"Dex Don't Play With Me!" I Said. He Chuckled As He Sat At The Kitchen Table And Motioned For Me To Come Sit On His Lap; Which I Did. I Straddled His Lap And Positioned Myself Facing Towards Him. 

"All Jokes Aside Ma...What's Up?" He Asked, Kissing My Neck.

"I'm Late On My Period." I Said.

"EW! Ion Wanna Talk About All That!" He Said. I Laughed As I Covered His Mouth.

"Shut Your Overgrown Ass Up! This Isn't Necessarily About My Period Dummy! This Is About The Fact That It's Late." I Said.

"Okay And?" He Said. Ugh! Was This Nigga Serious Right Now? I Huffed Loudly As I Rolled My Eyes. .

"Dexton...If My Period Is Late Then That Means That There Is A Possibility That I Could Be Pregnant." I Said. His Entire Face Flushed When I Said That. Like Literally...All The Color Drained From This Niggas Face. There Was An Awkwardly Long Silence, That Wasn't As Silent As Due To SaMiyah's High Pitched Laughs Coming From The Living Room.

"So...It's A Possibility That You Could Be Pregnant With My Child?" He Asked.

"It's A Slight Chance." I Said.

"Aight Cool." He Said. Wait What? Hold On...Let's Stick Shift, Ride It, Back It Up, And Then Park It. I Just Told This Nigga So Life Changing News And All He Has To Say Is...Aight Cool? What The Actual Fuck?
