Alisha's POV

I woke up with a huge headache. I rolled out of bed and made my way to the connected bathroom and started my hygiene. I decided to wash my hair today because I still have that nasty feeling from last night.

I didn't bother to blow dry my hair so it was still kinda wet. I walked down the hall to get hit in the face with the smell of good breakfast being cooked. I turned the corner to see Eric at the stove. "You're up, how'd u sleep?" I gave him a small smile. "I slept good actually, I just want to say thank you again." He laughed a little. "You don't have to thank me, and I'm glad u slept good."

While we was eating breakfast all u could hear was smacking and more smacking. Eric looked up at me and just looked deep into my eyes as if he was trying to read me.

"Lisha if you don't mind me asking, how long has this been going on? The thing with your stepdad." I was shocked that he brung it up. I cleared my throat and looked down and start playing with my fingers. "If you don't want to talk about it I understand." I looked at him and swallowed hard, "It's been happening for about 9 months now, he was just the best thing that happen to my mom, he was so nice to me, but after a while he become abusive and he start coming home drunk a lot." Tears formed in my eyes but I'd be damn if I let another tear drop for his ass. "I'm so sorry that happen to you, was this the first time he tried to assault you in anyway?" I went to speak but I choked the tears started to fall. "No, but he was never as bad as last night. He would come in my room when my mom isn't home, and want to cuddle. I never told my mom because I knew she would blame me."

He got from is seat and wrapped his big long arms arm me. I felt so safe in his arms.

Eric's POV

I could get use to holding her in my arms. It just feels so right. I took my finger and lifted her chin. I looked in her eyes, I can  see the pain and hurt that's inside her. I took my thumb and wiped her tears. "Why are u being so caring to me?" I didnt even respond. I just kissed her forehead and we stayed in the hugging position.

After she cried In my arms, which felt like hours I heard slight snores. I picked her up and put her in her room. I pulled the covers over her and left out the room. I let out a breath, 'ughhhh what are you doing to me lisha'. I walked in my room to get ready for my day. I'm about to head to the trap to see what's being going on, haven't been in a few days.

Before I left out I went into lisha room and shook her a little, "hey I'm about to make a run real quick, I'll be back in a couple of hours. If your hungry there's food or u can order a pizza or something." With that she nodded her head sleepily and before u knew it she was gone. I smiled to my self. I leaned over and kissed her forehead, she looked so at peace.

I pulled up to the trap. Everything was running smoothly, money coming in as always. I set in my chair and got into my own thoughts. 'Damn I'm really the youngest in the game right now. I'm the shit on bro.' I got knocked out my thoughts when I heard lot talking and arguing. I hopped out my seat and went to the door. I slung the door or to see my two cousins. "Y'all making to much fucking noise, I ain't got time for the fuckery today. Take that shit outside!" I said getting irritated fast. "Damn somebody pissed in yo cereal dis mornin." My cousin Trey said with a eye roll. I laughed at his goofy ass. "He must not be getting no type of pussy with dat attitude." My other cousin Tony said. I walked back into my office. (Trey and Tony in mm)

"What y'all niggas on today?" I asked changing the setting. "Shidd nun." Tony said with a shrugged. "What bro said, what about you?" Trey said. I was finna say sum but Trey cut me off. "What's this I hear you got some bitch staying with you?" I looked at him and chuckled. "First she ain't no bitch, second where you hear that shit at?" He glared at me. "She must me special you taking up for her and shit, okay cuz I see u boa." He said getting hyped. I swear this nigga a fool.

"Yeah I got this bad lil jawn, she a friend that I'm tryna help at the moment." I said tryna hide the sprinkle that came in my eye when I talked about lisha. "Awe shit boa I see u over there, u must be feeling shawty." Tony said. "Sum like that." I said nonchalantly.

After we talking and we over everything, I decided it was time for me to head back to the house.

Alisha's POV

I woke up to a quiet house. I rolled over and stuck my hand under my pillow feeling for my phone. I got out of bed at went to the bathroom cause I had to piss. After I got done I washed my hands and went to see what's up with E. I went to his room and knocked on the door but there was no answer. So I peeked my head in the door, he wasn't in bed. So I went down stairs searched the whole house and called out for him. He wasn't no where to be found.

I gave up looking for him and I decided to call him. As I was about to click on his contact I heard the front door open. I didn't bother to go see who it was I just went to the kitchen. I was looking the refrigerator, but couldn't find anything I wanted so I settled for orange juice.

Eric finally came in the kitchen. I was lent over the counter and I felt eyes on me. I smirked, "like what chu see?" I said in a flirty tone. Eric let out a loud laughing. "I mean shidd If ask me, hell yeah." My cheeks turnt hot.

I turned to him and crossed my arms around my chest. "Are you still going to take me to see my mom?" I asked him. After I went to sleep earlier and woke up I felt much better. "Umm, if that's what u I want, I'm all for it." I smiled and walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist and looked in his eyes. "Um imma go get ready I'll see u and 20." I nodded his head.

I made my way up stairs. I was look in my duffle bag for a outfit. The whole time I was thinking about Eric, I wanted to know if he was ready to move on with our relationship, was I ready? I guess I was giving it a long thought because Eric cleared his throat. I looked up, "u been in her for a long time, u said 20 is been like 45 mins." I laughed. "I'm sorry I lost track of time." I said. "What was u thinking about?" He asked. I didn't want to tell him because to didn't want to bring this up to him. "Uhh nothing much, just what my future would look like."I half lied. "U being honest with me, because I don't think u are." My said looking at me. It was like he could just read me by looking at me. I sighed, "If I'm being honest I was thinking about how we could be a couple and all that." I said, that's when I got nervous. He looked down at me and rubbed the back of head. "And if I'm being honest with you, I thought about it too." I looked at him shocked.

"If that was the case why didn't u tell me?" I asked him. "I was going to tell you last night when I called you, but u was kinda in the middle of something and I didn't want tell u anymore cause I wanted you to have some time with your self and cope with what just happened." He said. I got jumpy inside and my stomach was turning. I finished putting on some clothes and I walked over to where he was sitting on the bed. I stood in front of him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Eric I would love to move forward with our relationship, if that's what u want." I said looking into his eyes. With our warning he reached up and grabbed my face smashing our lips together.

"So u want me to make you mine?" I had a big kool aid smile on my face. I nodded my head to his question and kissed him again but this time I pushed it. I bit his bottom lip so I can enter my tongue. After the soft moans and wrestling match that was happening in our mouth I finally pulled away.

He got off the bed and walked out the room making our way down stairs. He stopped in front of me and put his hands on my butt, " I'm so glad we made our decision." I smiled and we hugged and we kissed one last time before going to the car.

The car ride to the hospital was quiet, but not awkward. We drove in silence no music what so ever. He rested him hand on my thigh.

After the visit we stopped and got food, then we made our home. Soon as we got in the house I took off my shoes and made my way to the shower.

After my shower I got lotion up and laid in my bed. Even though me and Eric are in a relationship now I still want to sleep in the guest room for right now. I called up Monica to chat with her. Just after two hours I was over due for sleep. I ended the call and shot Eric a message say good night. I didn't wait up for a response. Sleep had token over me.
