Elijah
When Ray told me that Erika was at the door, all I could think is how did she find me?
I open the door to see a whole different look of Erika, she wasn't all made up like she normally be.
"What you doing here Erika and how did you find me"?
"I need your help, I didn't come to start any trouble".
I look back at Rayvn who was already looking at me. "I'll be back" I tell her stepping outside closing the door behind me.
"So what's going on with you"?
"I can't really say much but I need a place to stay just for tonight".
"You can't go to an hotel or better yet how come you didn't go to your parents house" whatever she was keeping to herself probably wasn't good.
"I'm out of cash right now and far as my parents they don't know I left town. Elijah I really need your help, I can't go back to Houston or I'll end up in jail".
"Whoa jail? What did you do"?
"Someone is after me EJ and if I didn't leave soon they'll probably kill me".
"Erika I don't know, let me talk with Ray".
"Okay I'll be in my car" she walk back to her car as I went back in the house to only hear groans from behind the door.
"Damn man you didn't have to open up the door all fast" Sean said rubbing his head.
"Shouldn't been nosey, Ray I need to see you for a moment" I help her up off the couch taking her towards our bedroom.
Once I close the door I start telling Ray what Erika said.
"Its fine with me, she only said for one night so I'm cool with it".
I don't know if that's the pregnancy talking or what. I was expecting her to say no or go off.
"Are you sure"?
"Yeah, where she at now"?
"Outside in the car".
"Okay go get her" she got up from the bed wobbling over to the door to open it.
Walking back into the living room I left out the door to go get Erika. I don't know how I feel about Ray being okay with my ex spending the night, let's see how this go.
Rayvn
"Ray have you lost your mind? I can't believe you agree to let her stay here".
"Juila calm down, she only staying for one night" I finish fixing Erika a plate then taking it to her.
I may not know the girl like that and all but I don't mind helping out. Plus I'm quite sure she's not worrying about getting back with EJ anyway.
"Thanks again" Erika said as she began to eat.
"Mhm I don't trust her" Juila mumble walking pass me going to sit on the couch.
"No need to thank me, I'm only looking out for you".
I went over by Elijah as he was talking with Sean and Cornell. "Y'all better watch her" Cornell said while he was eyeing the girl down.
"Baby are you sure you cool with this, I can put her in a hotel room".
"Nah let her sleep in the car" Sean jump in.
"I got this okay, if I wasn't fine with it I would've been said no".
"Okay whatever you say".
*****
By the time everyone had left I start straightened up the place so Erika could get some rest.
"Here go you some covers right along with a pillow and the towels are already in the bathroom for you".
"Okay, I'm just going to go out to my car and grab a couple of clothes".
"Alright, holla if you need anything".
Erika
Stepping out the shower I start drying off as I start putting on my clothes. I was sorta iffy at first since I figure Rayvn wasn't going to let me stay.
Seeing her carrying Elijah baby made me feel some type of way. That supposed to be me with his first child not her.
After handling my business I walk out the bathroom going into the living room sitting on the couch finding something to watch on tv.
Elijah had came out the room going into the kitchen looking for whatever while I only watch his every move. Seeing him with her only made me guilty of what I done to him.
Once he got whatever out the kitchen he look my way making me turn my attention back to the television.
"Get you some sleep cause tomorrow morning you gotta get up out of here, have a goodnight" he tells me as he disappeared in the back.
I got comfortable on the couch pulling the covers over me and not before long my eyes was closing.
