Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 19

Kyla

I have been at my parents house all day and they have been annoying me since i stepped foot in the door.

My mom was in the kitchen cooking us something to eat and my dad was in the restroom at the moment.

I made myself more  comfortable on the couch and placed my feet up and crossed them over one another.

Pulling my phone out i was texting Nene telling her i would be home later on tonight.

My dad walked in and sat down in the chair across from me. I looked up at him and he was just staring at me like i disgusted him or something. "Kyla how is school going?" My mom asked walking back into the living room.

I shrugged my shoulders. "School is school." I tell them. "And what the hell does that mean?" My dad asked.

My mom gave him a look and i ignored him as i played a game on my phone. "So did you decide what you wanted to take up?" My mom asked. I nodded my head yes. "I'm taking up nursing school." I tell her.

"That's not Law." My father said while shifting in his seat. "Obviously" i mumbled.

My mom clapped her hands together and begin rubbing them. "Well the food should be ready, who's ready to eat!?" My mom asked trying to dye down the tension between me and my father.

"Nah, im good mah, i forgot i had a lot of work to do for school and i have to work tonight." I tell her as i stood up and stretched.

"You just got here Kyla. I was hoping we could sit and eat like a family again." She said with a sad look on her face. My dad mumbled something under his breath and got up and walked out of the room. "I'm sorry ma, but I'm ok. Ill stop by maybe tomorrow if I'm not busy." I tell her.

She walked over and gave me a hug and kissed my cheek. I gave her a smile and grabbed my purse off the table. "Bye mom." I tell her. "See you later baby, i love you." She said as i walked out of the house.

I walked to my car and got inside. I didn't mean to upset my mom but i just couldn't be there. I'm surprised i lasted that long. Me and my father don't get along at all. When i got grown and didn't go off to the college he wanted and decided to be a nurse he just snapped. He had my whole life planned out for me. But i was tired of living in his image and shadow. To be honest, I'm glad i followed my dreams and I'm proud of the woman i have become. I just wish he would see that.

Loyalty

Me and Nene was at this fancy restaurant. It was nice and i had only been here twice. Once with Cherish and another. But that was to handle business.  "You like the food baby?" I asked Nene as she sat across from me eating. She was beautiful. One of those underated females. I think that's why i liked her so much. Just something about her. "Yes its good." She said with a smirk. "How would you like it if we go somewhere. Just me and you?" I asked. "That would be fine. Where to?"

"Umm i have to go on a business trip in about two weeks, in the Bahamas, so when i get back im all yours. And wherever you want to go." I tell her.

She smiled and continued to eat. She was so humble. Didn't ask questions and didn't pressure me. Something you don't see often in these females now a days.

"Sir would you like me to grab this?" The waitress asked while pointing to the plates we had eaten off of. "Yes please, oh and can i get the bill please?" I asked her. She smiled and said yes she would bring it back and walked off with our plates in her hand.

Nene grabbed her wallet out of her purse and i cleared my throat. "Why you getting that out?" I asked her. "I was going to pay half of the bill." She said. I looked her over. "Nah i got it mah."
"Well can i at least leave the lady a tip?" She asked with a attitude. I looked her over...."Put that shit back in there, close your purse up and don't pull it out ever again when you with me." I tell her.

She did what I said and made a face at me while mumbling something under her breath. I laughed and she mimicked it.

Just as i was about to say something the waiter came back and i gave her 2 hundreds and told her to keep the change. The bill wasn't but $70, but she was a good waiter so i added alil extra to it. "Thank you, hey you guys have a nice night." She said. We said goodbye and Nene grabbed her things and we walked out.

"Bae you staying over tonight?" She asked. "Why, you want me to?" "Yesssss" she said as she got inside the car. "Iiaght mah."

Kevin

"Moriah, im not ready for a relationship right now."

I grabbed her arm as she turned away with tears rushing down her face. "I love you Kevin!! I want to be with you." She said.

I hated seeing girls cry. My mom use to cry when my father would leave, and when he never came back one day she just lost herself in any man that came along. Me and Dre had to sacrifice a lot of shit as kids. So to see her breaking down like this i just couldn't take it.

I pulled her into me nd she hugged me tightly with a grip on my shirt. I picked her up and layed her on my bed. I took her shoes off and placed a cover over her and did the same.

Pulling her body closer to me she tensed up a little but eventually gave in.

"I love you too Moriah, but on some real shit i don't know if this is my baby. I do the shit i do for you because its a possibility. Im sorry if i hurt you by the shit i said. But you weren't honest with me." I tell her.

She snuggled closer to me and wiped the little tears that were rolling down her face. "I understand Kevin. I wouldn't want you to go through anything you don't want to go through or have to go through. I wasn't completely honest with you but i really don't know who it could be and it scares me. I want it to be you though." She tells me.

It seemed like everything she told me from here on out was a lie, but a part of me wanted to believe her. I don't even know how we got to this point. We were chilling, talking, then all of a sudden the secrets started coming out. I'm starting to believe what Dre said though. But another part of me is saying not to care about it and still be there for her. I done did so much and went through all this with her....why should i stop now.

I leaned down and kissed her cheek while i played with her hair. She wants to be in a relationship but i don't think i can go that far with her until the baby is born.

She sat up and hugged me and gave me a kiss on the lips, taking me out of my thoughts. I sat there for a second then i found myself kissing her back.

I grabbed her waist, deepening the kiss and she let out a slight moan. She pulled away from me and stared into my eyes.

"Im sorry Kevin....im sorry." She said. She got up out of my bed and put her shoes on and grabbed her back pack that she brung and walked out.

I didn't know if I should have stopped her or not. All I know is that for the first time in my life I was in love with someone who I couldn't trust. And i didn't care too, and that's what scared me the most. I wish we would have talked this shit out a long time ago. Maybe it wouldn't be this complicated.
