Raising Kiva

House Guest

Welp this will be something new!!

.............................................................

Macy's POV.

It had been two months since that incident and I transfered Kiva to a new school. She loved it there. She made friends, she made good grades, and I was proud of her. She got her report card today and she had honor roll. I put on the refrigerator and she beamed with pride.

"You know what Ki?" I asked. She looked at me with a smile.

"I think you deserve.....ICE CREAM!!" I exclaimed. She squealed then she paused.

"Can Lisa and the boys come too?" She asked.

"Of course, come on." I then took her to the car , drove to Aaliyah and Caine's house then picked up the kids.

Her, Lisa, and the boys got their ice cream and I brought them back to my house so they could play in the yard. They were content with their ice cream and the toys in the backyard. Kiva was back to her old self and I was happy.

RINNNG!!

I looked at my phone and saw Trae calling. Huh? Answering, I went into the house.

"Trae what's wrong?" I asked. I heard him breathing heavily and he sounded angry.

"I'm coming over." He said. I heard him starting up his car and I looked back at the playing kids.

"Okay, just, don't startle the kids." I replied

"Kids?" He asked.

"Kiva, Lisa, and the boys." I clarified.

"Oh."

We hung up and the kids decided to go up to Kiva's room. They were happy, yet why couldn't I be? Something about Trae's voice made me worry.

He pulled up and I went outside. He got out of the car and he looked angry. I furrowed my brows and went to meet him halfway.

"Trae, are you okay?" I asked him. He nodded then I saw a bruise and scratch on his face. I gasped.

"Trae..." I whispered, touching his wounds slightly. His features softened and I took him in the house. We went up to the bathroom and knocked.

"I'm in here." I heard one of the boys, Carvonne say. I sighed and took him to my adjoining bathroom. He looked around my room and I sat him on my bed.

"I'll be right back." I told him then went to go get my first aid kit. When I went back into my room, I saw him with his eyes closed and he was laying down on his back. I smiled a little and walked to him.

"Trae, can you sit up please?" I asked. He groaned and sat up reluctantly.

While I cleaned up his face, I saw him clenching his fists and hissing at the pain. I stopped and he looked down at me.

"Why'd you stop?" He asked.

"You're in pain." I replied and he put my hand with the cotton ball back up to his face. He winced a little, but nodded. I continued and once I was done, I put up the kit and sat back beside him.

"Trae?? Um, how did this happen?" I asked. He shook his head as if to say, "don't sorry about that.'

"Trae..."

"Angelica and I got into a fight, she hit me a few times so I packed my stuff and left." He explained. Oh..

I looked up at him and turned his face to meet my eyes. His eyes held so much longing in them that it kind of frightened me.

"Trae, you can um," I looked away but he pulled my face back to where it was "stay here." I whispered the last part.

He looked at me as if to ask if I was sure. I nodded and he hugged me. I hugged back, his scent enveloping me. When we pulled away, our lips were merely inches apart and I could feel his cool breath on my lips. I flicked my tongue over my slightly dry lips and it hit his too. We both inhaled sharply and his eyes flickered to my lips. We were about to lean in until my phone rang. I pulled away quickly, got my phone, and went into the hallway.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Mace, my mom's here and she wants to see Kiva and the kids," said Aaliyah. I bit my lip and nodded, forgetting she couldn't see me.

"Okay, I'll bring them over. Be there in 10 minutes." I replied then we hung up.

I went back into my room and sat beside Trae.

"You can, um, stay here if you want. You know like...here...at my house." I offered. He looked at me and nodded.

"I'll be right back, I'm gonna go take Kiva and the kids to Aaliyah's house." He nodded and stood up.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Get some clothes, "he said and left.

...

After I dropped the kids off, I came home and Trae was sitting in the living room with his head in his hands. I sat beside him and he lifted his head up n looked over at me.

"I have to go to work later," I shifted "so I'll cook dinner before I leave, okay?"

He nodded and looked seriously wounded. I reached out and did something that I never thought I'd initiate. I hugged him.

He hugged back tighter and put me on his lap facing him. At the time there was no intimate meaning behind this, but when we looked at what was pressed together, our eyes somehow trailed up to meet each other's. His light brown orbs held so many working emotions in them. I could feel what he felt and before I knew what was going on, he kissed me. His lips were still as soft as they were four years ago and I wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed back. His arms wrapped around my waist tighter and I could feel him getting aroused. His tongue flicked over my bottom lip and I flicked my tongue over his. He groaned and grasped my ass in both of his hands , causing me to gasp and his tongue explored every part of my mouth. We both moaned into the kiss and slowly we pulled away, kissing each other lightly.

When we finally pulled away, we were both breathless and aroused. He pressed his forehead to mine and I looked up at him. Our eyes were connected in a needy gaze. I looked away and got up.

"I-I'd better get started on dinner." I whispered.

This was going to be one helluva few days...
