Sleeping With The Enemy (EDITED VERSION) COMPLETED

chapter 7

I got up early to make Carmen breakfast. I wasn't finish what I had started last night. I was making blueberry pancakes, eggs, sausage, grits, and biscuits. It was going on 9:00 o'clock when I was taking Carmen her breakfast. When I got to the room Carmen was still sleep. I shook my head at the way Carmen was stretched out in the bed like she lived by herself. I smiled because she looked like she was at peace. I sat the wooden breakfast tray on the night and sat on the edge of the bed. I pushed carmen's  hair out of her face and kissed her cheek.

"Wake up baby" I said whispering in her ear. she jerked her body in frustration before turning over and sitting up.

"What Derrick?" she asked rubbing the sleep bogeys out of her eyes. I watched her noticing her face seemed flushed and feverish.

"Baby are you okay?" I asked with concern.

"Yes babe I'm fine" she said placing a light kiss upon my lips.

"I made you breakfast" I placed the breakfast in front of her and I watch her skim over the food.

"Are you okay?" I asked because she wasn't acting herself.

"Yeah I'm fine"she waved me off and began taking a bite of her sausage.

I watched her as she ate then I looked at her face noticing her bruise was trying to heal. My stomach knotted up knowing I was the cause of the damage on her face. A part of me would never forgive myself for it.

"Derrick" Carmen said waving her hand in my face trying to get my attention.

"Yeah" I said snapping out of my thoughts with wide eyes.

"I don't feel good" she said covering her mouth.

" Do you need me-" before I could finish what I was saying Carmen had jumped up out the bed knocking the food onto the floor darting for the bathroom.

I began picking up the mess carmen had made and took the stuff to the kitchen dumping it in the trash and putting the dishes in the sink. I rubbed my fingers through my dreads as I headed back towards the room. when I entered the room I noticed Carmen was still in the bathroom throwing up. I walked into the bathroom seeing her bent over the toilet clenching her stomach.

"Babe do you want me to take you to the doctors or something?" I asked scrunching up my face at the sound of her throwing up her guts.

"No I just want to be alone and rest" carmen then began throwing up again. I told her I love her, but she didn't respond back because she was too busy throwing up. I left out the bathroom and went into the closet and pulled out my grey Adidas sweat pants with my white and black Adidas shirt with my low top white forces and got dressed. I put on my gold 14 carat necklace with my silver rolex. After I was fully clothed I went to the bathroom to do my hygiene when I noticed Carmen was curled up in a ball in the bed. when I was finished I went back into the room and laid behind Carmen on the bed pulling her in for a tight hug. I put a gentle kiss on ear lobe.

"You sure you want to be alone?" I asked because I didn't want to leave her alone while she wasn't feeling good.

"Yes Derrick"

"Okay I'll bring you back some soup, crackers, and 7up call me if you need me" I said kissing her cheek then getting out of bed and grabbing my phone and charger off the night stand. I went over to the dresser and grabbed my car keys out of carmen hand bag then left.

I haven't been to the "TRAP HOUSE" in two days in it was time to stop playing house and get down to business. I glanced at the clock noticing it was going on 11:30 in the morning. I pulled up to the red light when my phone started going off. I picked up my phone up off my lap to notice one of my my old friends from high school calling me.
