Save Me

17;

Adrian's POV.

I woke up to the sound of beating on my door. I turned around seeing it was two o'clock in the morning. Melvin was sound asleep and snoring. That's how you know he put in work because he never snores.

I heard the beating again making him stir in his sleep.

I pulled the robe over my naked body and slid on some slippers. I rubbed my eyes walking to the door. It was entirely too dark outside to see and my vision was blurry.

I grabbed the metal bat from by the door. I count down to three before swinging the door open.

"Zariah what do you want?"

She sat there with her head hung low and a backpack on her back.

"Adrian hear me out." She sniffed running her hand down her face. I sat the bat down folding my arms waiting for this bullshit of a speech.

"I want you back and I'm sorry for even doing that to you." She sniffed adjusting her bag.

"I was dumb for letting a woman like you go. I really enjoyed you and I still want to."

Just as I was about to open my mouth Melvin came in.

"Baby who at the ... door."

I looked up at him and he had the biggest grin across his face. I shook my head remembering how once he was on the other side.

He wrapped his hands around my waist kissing me on the top of the head.

"Wassup Zariah."

I rolled my eyes as he pushed up on me.

"Sup." Zariah tried to look like seeing Melvin didn't phase her.

"I'm sorry Zariah but me and Melvin are back working on something. After what had happened I just could handle the hurt again.

I looked up at Melvin and his looks said he was sorry.

"I know Adrian and I was wrong for doing that to you knowing that you just went through some shit." She sniffed.

"I just need somewhere to crash for three days." She looked up with pleading eyes but I just shook my head.

"So let me get this right. You cheat on me with Mesha then you come back to me like I'm a shelter when you can be living in that bitch crib?"

I felt anger take over my body but Melvin gripped my hand making ease.

I was about to tell her no but Melvin butted in.

"Let her stay, ain't gone hurt none."

I looked up at him like this nigga had two heads and shit.

He looked at me like I didn't have a choice. I just didn't want this shit to be uncomfortable.

"Fine." I sighed opening the door wider as she walked in.

"Thank you." She settled in on the couch.

"No problem." Melvin said locking the door.

"Now let's get some rest baby." He picked me up walking towards the bedroom.

Zariah looked at me with so much hurt in her eyes. I almost felt sorry for her but I shook that shit off quickly. If she felt uncomfortable then she is welcomed to leave. No one is holding you against your will.

"Baby are you sure?" He sat me down on the bed.

"Yeah I'm sure, I don't mind helping the needy." He teased bending down to kiss me.
