Love Me (Interracial Love)

Chapter Fifteen

If you thought I got any sleep think again. I was up in the morning at four. I got up and went to the kitchen. I was starving. I couldn't stand my stomach grumbling for thirty minutes. I went to the kitchen. I was craving peanut butter, and brownies. When I saw we no longer had the two I ran to Ben's room.

"Ben wake up its an emergency." I said tears coming out. He woke up instantly. Turning the lamp on.

"What's wrong?" He asked checking for any damage.

"We don't have peanut butter and brownies." I said and he stared at me for a second.

"Don't scare me like that Aaliyah. I can always get some on my way home." He said laying back down.

"No I need some now. It's four in the morning. I am craving now. Ugh fine I'll walk there myself." I said, and he stood.

"No lay back down I'll be right back." He said slipping his shirt on.

Ben's Pov....

I left, and drove as fast as I could. I didn't want her to starve. I went to the market and grabbed brownies and peanut butter. "Hey Ben." A voice I never thought I would hear from again.

"Lauren." I said trying to brush past her.

"Ben please. Can we talk for a little. I leave tomorrow and I just thought we can talk?" She pleaded. I sighed. I bought my items, and I drove her to her motel. "Would you like to come in for drinks?" She asked holding up the beer. "Such a shame they don't have wine."

"No I need you to make this quick. I have to get home." I said worrying about Aaliyah.

"Ah I see. Your pregnant girlfriend is having cravings." She said.

"She's not my girlfriend. Just a great friend." I said.

"Than come in. I just want to talk for ten minutes top." She said, and I sighed. I parked the car and we went inside. I declined the drink of beer when she offered me a bottle.

"The first taste is nasty." I tell her as I remembered Liyah told me.

"How is Skylar doing?" She asked.

"Good. She's four." I said and she nodded.

"Thats good. Tell her I say hi and that I love her." She said, and I shook my head.

"It's best she doesn't get attached to such words. You didn't want her so she has grown up without you. I want her to stay happy." I said and she nodded.

"I'm sorry how things turned out." She said.

"Are you really sorry Lauren. You left Skylar at home alone. She was only two days old. I come home to a screaming baby. All I get is a note saying you didn't want the relationship nor our child!" I yelled. My blood was boiling. The audacity of her to make such claims how sorry she was.

"I know it was wrong. I was only twenty getting my life together. I was scared. You have to understand." She begged holding my arm.

"I understand you were scared but you left her there alone. She could have died!" I yelled and stood. I started pacing back and forth.

"I know. I feel the guilt everyday. I shouldn't have done that. I felt guilty leaving you too. I love you." She said and threw herself at me. I pushed her off.

"No you don't. Get off of me. I don't love you anymore. Not after what you did." I said angrily.

"You love her don't you?" She asked. I looked at her.

"She's carrying my child. She's a great friend. My love life is also none of your concern. You have no business doing here." I snapped.

"I thought I could fix things. I'll leave. I'm sorry." She said. "I hope you are happy with her." She said sincerely.
