Love Don't Change

Chapter 36

3 years later...

"Lani, stop running around the house like that!" I tell my 3 year old daughter as she bumps into one of my moving boxes and falls on the floor.

I walk towards her and pick her as she was still lying on the floor, crying. Oh, dear. I grab her pacifier from the kitchen counter and put in her mouth. She immediately stops crying and smiles, while bouncing up and down in my arms. I smile back.

She looks so much like Keith and I can't stand it. I always wished that when I have a child, that the baby would look just like me, but sadly she doesn't.

"I'm home!" I heard Keith shout as he comes through the front door with a gift bag in his hand. I walk towards him with the straightest face, because I wasn't having it today.

"So... you said you was gon' be here by 9 p.m., honey it's past 10," I say, while Lani tugged on my loop earring. I take it off and hand it to her, so she'll stop.

"I went out to get you something," he says. I roll my eyes.

"If it's not food, then you better be ready to sleep with the snakes, cause I'm not going through this shit again with you," I say, putting Lani down on the floor. Keith smacks his teeth.

"Yo, just shut up and take the gift, witcho' stubborn ass." I Keith a stank face and snatch the gift out of his hands and look inside. I searched all inside the bag, but I found nothing.

"Nigga, what you want me to look at?" I ask Keith with a confused look. But when I looked down at Keith, he was on his knee with a diamond ring out.

"Keith." I manage to say, but he quickly sushes me.

"I've loved ever since the first time I saw you with Deion at that lit ass senior party. I knew you was getting your ass beat by a man when I saw you trying to cover up those bruises with make-up, but I still found you beautiful with and without it. You still fucked with me and took care of my child when I had KJ and manged our relationship when I was fucking around and fucking shit up, so I thank you for that. And you also gave me 2 beautiful twin babies." I smile at his words beautiful words, which also made me tear up as well.

"I can't live my life happily without you, because you bring joy into my life. Now, I didn't want to bring you out in public because I'm saving up, but also because our love is between us. And I wanna keep it that way. And... since I wanna keep it that way, I just want you to bare with me on this, ight." I nod my head and he smiles. 

"Brelyn Malika Brook," Keith says. I nod my head.

"Will you marry me?"

Tears form in my eyes. Okay... shit just got real and super emotional. Like... after all these years of suffering and finding someone who will love me and care for me, I finally found love. I know what it feels like.

I jump on Keith and tackle him to the ground and give him plenty of kisses everywhere.

"I mean, can I get a yes, a no, a maybe if you'll pay my rent kind of answer," Keith says and I laugh.

"Hell yes," I say as I take the ring and slowly put it on. Damn... this ring is mad pretty.

"At least you said yes." Keith picks me up and throws me on the couch. He starts kissing me on my neck and I unbuckle his pants, until I hear Lani crying again.

"This baby is gon' be the death of me," I whisper. I get up from the couch and walk over to her, to pick her up. Keith gets up from the couch as well and grabs my arm.

"Let papa handle it," Keith says taking her out of my hands. "I don't want you messing up that 20k diamond ring." I smile as I walk towards the couch and lay on it.

"Waaaaa!" I hear another baby cry. And just when I thought I was gon' get my relax time.

"Fuck...," I whisper. Keith laughs.

"I guess mommy forgot that you had a twin brother, baby," Keith says to Lani with a babyish voice. I flick him off.

"Hey, not in front of the baby," Keith says and I immediately changed my middle finger into a crucifixed cross, by putting another finger over it, with a smile.

"Go head and go to sleep, ight. I'll take care of both, Lani and Bobby," Keith says to me. I shake my head no and walk over to him.

"A hard-working women never stops her work," I whisper into Keith's ear. Then, I reach down low and grab his dick and release it, with a smirk.

"You're trouble," Keith says to me.

"You still put it on though." Keith shakes and chuckles.

"Actually the ring was for Jasmine, but then she turned me down," Keith says with a really loud laugh afterwards. I give him a death glare.

"So... we're not fucking tonight," I say going upstairs and he immediately stops laughing.

"Wait, I take that back. It's for you," Keith shouts from down stairs, but ignore and keep on.

Oh, how I love my family of 4.
