Marlei

"You good?" Will asked as soon as I walked back into the living room.

"You should go" I replied, ignoring his question.

He pursed his lips for a second before nodding his head and grabbing his car keys.

"Call or text me I guess" he said on his way out.

I nodded in response and followed him to the front door. I watched him get into his car and drive off before closing my front door and locking it.

I was pissed with Chad for popping up at my house the way he did. Yes, I haven't been speaking to him but we are not in a relationship so he had no right.

I decided on taking a shower to ease my mind. I connected my phone to my Bluetooth speaker and blasted "London" by Jacquees.

Once I was out I lotioned and put on a long black tee. Laylah had went out with a guy she had met from here awhile back so she would probably be gone for awhile and I wasn't gonna bother her.
Laying down in my bed, I continued to let my music play until I drifted off to sleep.

I rolled over and felt strong arms wrap around my waist causing me to jump up quickly, knowing I hadn't let anyone into my home

"Why you trippin?" He asked, looking frustrated.

"How'd you get in my house?" I responded.

He ignored me and pulled me back into the bed. I tried to fight him off but he was too strong.

"Calm yo ass down!" He said through gritted teeth.

My eyes watered as I looked him in the eyes. He actually made fear travel through my body.
I watched as he took his gun from his pocket and sat it next to my head.

"Now I want you to answer me this"

I just stared at him without saying a word.

"Why you feel the need to ignore me? Thennnnn on top of that get a new nigga at the same time?"

I didn't respond which only cause him to chuckle. He put more of his body weight on me as I began to cry.

"He wasn't my nigga, he's just a friend" I cried out.

He laughed and sat up a little. "So what am I?"

I remained silent.

"You deaf now?" He raised a brow

I shook my head. "You're my friend also"

"So how come you ignoring a friend for another friend? What make him so special?"

"How did you get in my house?" I ignored his question

He reached towards his gun as I watched him closely. "Gimme your phone"

I stayed still as I watched him snatch my phone off the charger and call a number.

"Hello" I heard the voice on the other end answer making my heart pound

"Aye bruh, Marlei gotta nigga so whatever you thought it was gon be between yall is dead"

"Say less" the person on the phone responded before hanging up.

"Now that he's out the way we can get back to doing us and you can stop playing with me like I'm some game" he looked at me, licking his pink lips.

I laid there still wondering how he had gotten in here. I must be dreaming cause I know this man can't be that crazy to break into my home.
I watched as he got up and walked over to me, pulling me up to him.
