Hidden Feelings

"Amir, how many times do I have to tell you not to leave the fucking seat up!" Malina yelled at him from the top of the stairs.

"I'm sorry, damn. Why you yelling at me like that?" He sounded a little hurt making me feel kind of bad for him.

"Because you can't do shit right! I asked you to bring me peaches and what you bring!"

"The can-"

"The canned peaches, nigga!"

"Man, Malina gone with that bullshit." He told her in a dismissive tone.

She stomped back into the room, plopping down on the bed with her arms folded.

"Malina, why you do my Mir like that?" I couldn't help but laugh because she was really mad at him for leaving the seat up in the bathroom.

"Because he just gets on my nerves. But now I feel bad." She pouted and got up to leave the room again.

"Tater tot." I heard her say in a sweet voice almost making me throw up.

"What Malina?"

"I'm sorry."

"Okay." He said in a bored tone.

"Miiiirr." She whined as I rolled my eyes at these two. "I love you."

"I love you too my candy apple."

She skipped into the room with a satisfied smile on her face, sitting back down on the bed.

"He loves me." She said as I waved her off. "Speaking of love....you've been glowing these past few days. Sebastian must be hitting it right." She nudged me.

I sucked my teeth, "No, he's been being stingy for the past two days. He found my pills."

"Your birth control?"

"Yes." I ran my fingers through my hair sighing. "I do want another baby eventually, just not now. We aren't in a committed relationship."

"He'll get over it eventually. Amir did." She assured me. But knowing Sebastian he might do something stupid.

I was sure he was okay with me not wanting to have a baby right now, until the reminder for me to take my pill was turn off this morning. I almost forgot to take it.

"We all know how pressed Sebastian is for a daughter. Who knows what his crazy ass will do."

"Well I agree with your decision..." She trailed off.

"But..." I knew there was one coming. She always does this.

"You should've told the man. All this time he's been trying to get you pregnant."

It did make sense now that I think about it. He hasn't attempted to pull out once since we've been messing around.

"Nothing is ever good enough for him. He gets on my nerves."

"You know you loooove him." She teased, pinching my cheek. I slapped her hand away as I rolled my eyes.

"I guess." I tried to put up a front knowing I was going to be up under him when I got home. That man has really made me soft.

Amir walked in with his phone and handed it to me, "You in trooouble."

I ignored him and put the phone to my ear, "Yes?"

"So you can't answer the phone?" Sebastian's voice came through the phone. His voice was more raspy and deeper than usual, which means he woke up not too long ago.
