Izel
The next morning, I woke up with my legs pure sore. I felt like I was drilled. I was in Reggie's hold so I turned around and looked at him.
He looked so peaceful when he slept.
"Baby, wake up." I traced his chest tattoo.
His eyes were partly opened before he smiled. "Morning gorgeous."
"Good morning." I smiled. "Do you have extra toothbrushes?"
"Look in the medicine cabinet." He spoke.
Right when I stood up, my legs went numb and I almost fell.
"You straight?" He laughed.
"No, the got damn hulk attacked my ass last night." I threw a pillow at him. "I need to go home by the way."
"For what?" He followed behind me.
"That's where I live.. All my stuff is there."
"Why don't you buy your own apartment? You're eighteen. He can't do nothing about that."
"I don't have my own money for an apartment." I frowned. "And I don't like being lonely."
"I'll stay with you then." he smiled.
"Reggie, you're the sweetest boy ever. I don't want to depend on you for everything though. I have to learn how to be independent anyways." I grabbed an unused toothbrush. "I think I'll become a stripper. My nickname would be Candy Minaj." I giggled.
"Yea, that's a no." He shook his head. "Why don't you model?"
"Me? A model? Boy, please. Models are so overrated and completely complicated."
"Why you think that?"
"Because, the people they model for want them to be an exact height, exact weight, have to have nice skin, perfect teeth, like no." I shook my head.
He laughed at me and walked out the bathroom. "You should really think about it." He yelled out.
I shook my head and started brushing my teeth.
When I was done, I started the water in the shower and took off his shirt he gave me.
I turned around and looked in the mirror. He left so many marks. There were some on my neck, and a lot on my chest.
I stepped into the shower and I instantly felt relaxed because of the hot water.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in." I spoke.
"I forgot to give you one of these." Reggie spoke while handing me a loofah.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"And I got you a towel and another one of my shirts." He sat it on the bathroom counter. "I'll be downstairs when you come out."
"Alright, thank you!" I yelled when he walked out.
-
I walked downstairs and I smelled breakfast.
This dude is too sweet.
"Baby?" I called out. I didn't see him no where.
There was already a plate made on the island so I sat down. There was a note next to the plate.
"Sorry for leaving without telling you. I drove down the street to pick up my sister from her friend house. Be back in a few minutes, enjoy your breakfast big head"
I smiled and put the note in the trash. When I had started eating, my phone started to vibrate.
I looked at the caller ID and saw it was August calling me. I debated if I wanted to answer it or not. I declined the call and finished eating.
A few seconds later my phone was ringing again and this time it was Travis. I sighed and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Why you decline my call and not Travis?" I heard August.
"I have nothing to say to you." I was about to hang up until he started speaking again.
"Come ova' ta' the house."
"For what?" I frowned.
"So I can talk ta' you. Fuck else am I gon' want you ova' hea' fa'?"
I sighed and shook my head. "Talk to me about what? We can talk over the phone."
"Nah, I wanna talk face to face."
"Well, you don't always get what you want." I rolled my eyes. "If this is about the ass whooping I gave Tatianna, there isn't much to talk about. The bitch disrespected me multiple times and I was fed up. She got what she deserved."
"I don't need no random hoe beatin' up on my girlfriend like dat. You know you was in the wrong. You coulda' just walked away from her like you do everything else an-.."
Before he could finish, I hung up.
I took a deep breath and swallowed my tears. I'm tired of him hurting my feelings like he's doing. It's like their purpose is to ruin me and break me down.
I heard the front door open and heard Lili talking to
"Hey Izel." Lili smiled and waved before walking up the steps.
I waved back and smiled at her.
"You okay?" Reggie asked before kissing my cheek.
"I'm fine. Thank you for the breakfast." I smiled.
"Don't gotta thank me." He chuckled.
"I have a question.."
"Shoot." He looked at me.
"The way you feel about me.. It's true, right?"
"What you mean?" He frowned. "I cant lie about liking you hella lot." He chuckled. "I might just be falling in love with you." He rubbed my hand.
"You won't leave me?" I looked him in the eye.
"Nah." He pulled me closer to him. "I mean what I said." He kissed me.
"Okay." I smiled. I moved his messy hair out the way and giggled.
"I thank your parents." He spoke.
"Huh?" I frowned.
"I thank your parents... I appreciate them.. They gave me a beautiful ass girl."
"Yea.." I smiled. "If you say so." I spoke before his phone dinged.
He looked at the message and started to text back. "Me and you heading to this party tonight, cool?"
"Who's party?" I frowned. "Reggie, I hate parties."
"It's just a few of my boys and they folks. Nothing bad happens when you with me, so trust me." He kissed me while grabbing my neck.
"What boys? And why I gotta go?"
"Because, I wanna show you off." He smirked.
"Shutup." I pushed him. "I'm not going. I'll stay here with your sister."
"You going." He kissed my cheek then walked off. "And all you gotta do is wear something comfortable." He spoke.
