If YOU Only Knew

Chapter 12

Its been roughly 3 weeks sense the first blunt abuse. He hasn't hit me sense but it's because I haven't done anything to anger him. He can sense the fakeness of my words and actions but says nothing.

We are now on our way to his parent's house. I've never met them but if they are anything like him. I have a feeling this little meet and greet wont be pleasant. We pull up at the home which of course was larger than life. I'm not surprised being it's Mega.

We walk up to the door and he lets himself in. I follow close behind. His family was in the living room talking and they all looked up at us. He didn't have all his family there like my mom did. It was just his mom, dad, brother, sister, and their significant others.

I introduced myself and tried my best to not show how miserable I was. His family seemed to like me I guess.

After dinner I volunteered to help with the dishes along with his sister. His brother's girlfriend seemed a little off almost as if ahe was too good to be in the kitchen. As I washed a plate his mom took my jaw in her hand softly.

"Sweety what are you doing with him?" The question caught me so off guard. "Um what do you mean?" "That boy has a bad temper. He's my son and I love him but he doesn't deserve a woman especially not a good one." His sister rubbed my back softly, "I don't even know what to do. It's not love keeping me with him, it's fear. I don't love Mega." His mom took me in her arms as I cried on her shoulder. "Baby girl you have 2 choices. Leave and fight or stay and fight."

Later that night everybody in the house was asleep I couldn't sleep thinking about what Mega's mother told me. Then I hear singing. I look up to see Mega's brother Simba. "Oh my bad ma I thought everybody was asleep." "Nah I can't sleep." "Me either my girl been tripping all night." I started laughing and he sat down beside me. "So you ready for marriage?" "No." "Then why you getting married ma?" "I don't know." "Listen if you do plan on marrying him. I got you, let me know if he start getting out of hand." "Okay." Simba was nothing like Mega he was more thuggish and his dreads were longer. He was taller and just a little lighter. His voice was smooth and deep.

I would be lying if I said he didn't make me moist. I stood up to go to Mega's room but looked back one more time. "Did your dad beat your mom?" "No I don't know where Mega gets the shit from. My pops don't hit women and neither do I."

I went up to Mega's room and gave him the work. Call me crazy if you want. I didn't do it for him. Lets just say Simba had ya girl feeling some type of way.
