You wake up in a luxurious bedroom not knowing how you got there. Your admiring the room and see a God of a man sitting on a chair nearby. Little did you know that man could change your life from better to worse.....

I woke up early the next morning. I looked over to the clock on the nightstand and saw it was 5:10 in the morning. I didn't really want to stay in bed and stare at the ceiling thanks to my restless night. I felt tired during the day but when I tried to get some sleep. I couldn't, I assumed it was because I was thinking about too much.
I got up from the bed, trying not to disturb Malik as he slept, and I walked to the kitchen. I looked through the fridge for bacon and eggs and went back to the fridge for the pancake mix. I started humming while I cooked to keep myself entertained.
Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum, rum bum bum bum bum Man Down!
"Ayy, savage right der." a deep husky voice said behind me.
"I didn't know I was singing that loud. I didn't mean to wake you up." I said.
"Well you're cooking bacon.... it was sort of inevitable." Malik replied laughing. He walked around me and snatched one of the cooked pieces of bacon, and then he turned around to me with clear concern in his eyes.
"What's on your mind babe?" Malik asked.
"Nothing really, I just felt a little restless." I answered back.
"You know you need sleep with you being pregnant and all. It's not healthy." He said slowly, still with concern in his eyes.
"I know, I just have a lot on my mind."
"Is it about that guy again? Are the nightmares coming back?"
When I didn't answer, Malik turned me around to face him and hugged me. Amazingly that's all I really needed. I let Malik take away the pain & I released all my pent up frustrations out through my tears.
I cried because I still saw Chris everywhere I went. I cried because I always had the constant thought that Malik was too good for me. I cried because I was scared about the life of this baby that I was about to give birth to. I didn't feel prepared to raise this baby. I didn't feel prepared for anything.
Malik just held me as I cried everything out. He didn't make me feel like a burden. In fact, he's always made me feel like I was the center of his world. He even told me so more than once.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone, I'll take care you Ambs." Malik said rocking me back and forth as I continued to cry.
That's what I was counting on.
