New Flame

Chapter 6

Chris P.O.V "I Was Giving The Crowd Their Money's Worth On This Performance. They Was Turned Up Singing Right Along With The Songs I Was Doing But As I Turned To Look Up At My VIP Area I Saw Aayliah & Mimi Talking But Couldn't Help But Notice Something Wasn't Right. When I Mean Something Wasn't Right Something Really Wasn't Right I Saw Baby Girl Have Tears In Her Eyes & I Figured It Had To Do With My Question On Why Mimi So Protective Over Her & It Instantly Made Me Worry. I Just Hope She's Okay" I Said To Myself Going Back To Finishing Off One More Song & Addressing The Crowd "Thank You For Coming Out Tonight But Let's Turn Up Some More. DJ Drop The Beat" I Said Turning To My DJ & Walking Off Stage Back Over To The VIP Area Seeing Aayliah In Full Blown Tears & Boy Did It Shatter Your Boy's Heart" I Walked Over To Aayliah With A Concerned Look On My Face

"Aayliah Are You Okay?" I Asked Her Concerned Hoping What I Said To Her Didn't Cause Her To Cry

"Yeah I Guess So I'm Sorry You Did An Amazing Job" She Said Wiping Her Eyes

"Thanks But That's Not What I'm Worried About. I'm Worried Bout You. I'm Hoping What I Said Didn't Make You Cry Like This Cuz If It Did I'm So Sorry" I Said Sitting Down Next To Her Seeing Her Hands In Her Lap So I Grabbed Her Left Hand & Held It

"No What You Said Didn't Make Me Like This It's Just.." She Stopped Talking Noticing I Had Her Left Hand In My Hand

"Just What Baby Girl Tell Me" I Said Looking At Her Hoping She'd Tell Me

"Can We Go Somewhere Private Please I Don't Want Too Many People In My Business" She Asked Me & I Looked At Mimi & That's When It Hit Me That Mimi Was The Only Who Knew Why She Was Crying But I Respected That Cuz Mimi Was Aayliah's Best Friend

"Yeah Come On" I Said Letting Her Hand Go & Standing Up Holding My Hand Out Again Hoping She Would Take It In Her's

"Thanks Chris" She Said Looking Up & Seeing That I Had My Hand Out & I Felt Her Grab It

"You're Welcome Aayliah" I Said Guiding Her To The Private Area Looking At Her From The Corner Of My Eye

Aayliah's P.O.V "I'm So Scared To Tell Him I Just Know He's Gonna Judge Me Or Say After I Tell Him About The Miscarriage & My Past That He's Not Gonna Want Anything To Do With Me Even If It's Just As Friends Cuz That's Pretty Much What We Are Right Now & I Know He's Concerned & Thinking Its His Fault When It Really Isn't His Fault Cuz He Didn't Know. But I Was Broken Out Of My Thoughts Running Thru My Head

"Here We Are Babygirl" He Said Guiding Me To The Booth & Letting Me Get In First & Then Him Sitting Next To Me "Tell Me What's Wrong Please I Hate Seeing A Beautiful Woman Crying" He Said Putting His Hands On The Table

"I.." I Tried To Get The Words Out But They Just Wouldn't Come Out & I Looked At Chris

"Take Your Time Sweetheart We Can Stay Here As Long As You Need In Order To Get Your Words Together" He Said Touching My Left Hand

I Looked At Him Nodding & Sighed Collecting My Thoughts Feeling Tears Fall & I Felt The Touch Of Chris's Hand Wiping Them Away "I'm Scared Your Gonna Judge Me But Here It Goes" I Said Taking A Deep Breath "You Wanted To Know Why Mimi So Protective Over Me" I Said Looking At Him Making Eye Contact

"Yeah I Wanna Know Only If You Wanna Tell Me" He Said Looking Back At Me Still Clearing My Tears Away

"The Reason Mimi Is Over Protective About Me, Is Because Of My Past Relationship With Michael" I Said Looking Down

"What Happened Baby Girl" He Said Lifting My Chin

"We Were Together For A Couple Years We Started Dating When I Was 17 & One Thing Lead To Another & One Night I Came Home From Work & Caught Him Cheating On Me" I Said With Tears Again Only To Have Chris Clearing Them

"I'm So Sorry That He Did That To You, You Don't Deserve That But That Still Doesn't Explain Why She's Protective Aayliah" He Said Rubbing My Back "There's More Isn't There"

I Looked At Him Nodding "Yeah There Is"

"Like What?" He Asked With A Questioning Look On His Face

Sighing "When I Caught Him Cheating, It Slipped Out That & I Told Him I Was Pregnant With His Child But Because Of The Hurt He Caused Me, I Lost The Baby" I Said Looking Back Down

"So You Had A.." He Started To Say Before I Cut Him Off

"Look I'm Sorry I'll Leave You Alone Cuz I'm Sure You Want Nothing To Do With Me Anymore I'm Sorry I Should Go" I Said Running Out The Private VIP Area Crying

"Aayliah W.." He Said But It Was Too Late I Already Left "Damn Now I Understand Why Mimi Protective"
