Save Me ( Keith Powers)

32

Omniscient
When Ashly arrived back home she got caught up on some much needed sleep and then she got everything ready for tonight. Now she was heading over to Keith's house to have a nice candle lit dinner with her baby.

When she pulled up she didn't see Keith's car in the driveway so she went into his house and set everything up. She had Can't Take My Eyes Off of You playing lowly in the background as she sat the table with two glasses of wine two plates with their food on the table.

She smiled at the work that was in front of her and then sat in the kitchen chair waiting for her man to come through the door.

It was 8:00 when Ashly came here and sat the table and now here it was going on 11 and there was no sign of Keith anywhere. Ashly cut on the lights, blew out the candles & wrapped his plate up, pouring out his wine while she took her plate and glass of wine upstairs with her. She took off her heels and dress & got dressed into something comfortable and put her hair into a pony tail and she went on demand to watch the movie The Brothers with Morris Chestnut, D.L Hugely, Shemar Moore & Bill Bellamy.

Two hours later Ashly heard Keith stepping into the house lowly singing whatever song he was currently listening to. She debated on if she wanted to go downstairs and possibly scare the living daylights out of him but she decided against it and just decided to stay up in his room, leaned against the headboard looking towards the doorway with the lights and tv off.

After eating a little bit of the food that was left for him Keith went upstairs to get in his bed and sleep. As he walked up the stairs he lowly sung Drip by Luke while scrolling on his phone. He walked into his room briefly looking up to see what was in front of him so he wouldn't bump into anything while entering his room, that's when he saw Ashly in the bed and yelped and jumped a little bit.

After he calmed down a little bit he hurriedly cut on his light to see if it was her and once it was confirmed he walked into the room and stood against the wall.

"Didn't your mama ever tell you not to scare folks like that? That's how folks get hurt scaring other people."

He raised up off the wall and went to go get some pajama bottoms to sleep in.

"Where you been Keith?"

"Out...with the guys."

"Out where Keith?"

"What's with all the questions? I don't question you when you leave, do I?"

"Keith it is 1:26 in the morning."

"Okay? I know that."

"So why you coming in at this time?

"Why are you sweating me?"

Ashly was about to speak until she stopped herself to gather her words.

"Keith it's one something in the morning almost two, I come here at 8 and I don't see my boyfriend no where in sight and I'm calling but I get no answer so if me being worried is sweating you then let me sweat."

"No I'm not, you're not about to sweat me."

"When you don't answer your phone and don't come in at a decent hour I have no choice Keith!"

"Last time I checked I was twenty five years old which means I am a grown man and I can come in this house whenever I want to, which means I don't need no woman checking on me."

As he went to the bathroom to change Ashly gathered her things and left heading to her own house. When he heard the door slam he leaned on the bathroom counter sighing while shaking his head.
