I woke up wrapped in thick, soft covers. I stretched opening my eyes, then everything came back. I took another beating yesterday and Martesse said I was 'Beautiful' , whatever that means. I slowly eased off the bed without bending my bruised side. I slowly walked to the door peeking out, Martesse's voice filled the house. I slowly walked down the steps holding the rail. Once I reached the end of the stairs I limped into the kitchen. Martesse stood at the counter on the phone.
"I don't give a fuck Keisha ! you dont run shit!" he yelled though the phone.
I jumped back onto the wall , I was not expecting that. I peeped around the small wall.
"That shit you pulled yesterday was scan and disrespectful" he continued in a calmer tone.
There was a silence then a huge smack on the counter.
"SHUT UP KEISHA ! I'M DONE WITH YOU ! I'M DONE WITH EVERYTHING . DON'T CALL ME NO FUCKING MORE !"
He slammed the phone down then leaned Over the counter covering his face mumbling over & over. I slowly walked over to him. I hesitated at first but then layed my hand on his shoulder.
"Y-ou oka-y?" I studdred waiting on him to lift up.
He lifted up slowly before looking at me. "Yea, thank you"
"Okay, here" I ripped a paper towel and patted his eyes.
"Thank you" he grabbed my hand looking in my eyes.
"Your wel-come" I gave him a small smile then removed my hand.
"You hungry ?" he looked down at me. I shook my head yes."Alright C'mon" he picked me up taking me to his room.
"Wear this" he gave me a hoodie. I slowly put it on. "Theirs a tooth brush in the bathroom" he continued.
"Okay" He helped me to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. My face kinda healed over night.
"You can wear these, My lil cousin left them over. I'm sure she forgot about em" He handed me a pair of timberlands.
"T-hanks" I put the shoes on then looked back up at him. He helped me to the car.
We drove in silence to Wafflehouse. He helped me out the car into the restaurant. We seated then the waiter brung us our menus.
"Hi I'm your waiter Sabrina what would you like ?" the waiter said not even looking at us.
"Lemme get the double waffles with a side of eggs and bacon and a orange juice" Martesse said. The girl looked up and seductively smiled at him.
"Can I get you anything else ?" she bit her lip.
"Nah but you can take my girlfriend order ma" he looked at me then back at her.
"Your with h-nevermind , what you want girl ?" she popped her neck.
I couldn't talk. I can't talk, Martesse called me his girlfriend. Wait , he probably just playing.
"Darnesha baby , baby" Martesse shook my hand. I popped back into reality.
"H-uh , sorry" I put my head down embarrassed.
"Here, give her the same thing as me" Martesse gathered the menus handing them to her, seconds later I heard her walk away.
"Darnesha look at me" I slowly looked up at him. "You good ma ? why you so shy ?"
"I-dont know...habit" I put my hair behind my ear.
