I reach up and stand on my tiptoes to see if i can reach the cup better. I finally give up after a few seconds and turn to kehlani who is minding her own business cutting up fruit. I sigh.
"Can you reach that cup for me, please?" I ask.
She looks at me and then up at the cabinet. She shrugs and goes back to cutting. "Grab a chair and then grab it."
Is she being serious right now? Like no joke? God dammit! I swear i love her but she dances on my last nerve sometimes. She has literally been ignoring me ever since i said i wanted to do things myself. She doesn't take a glance at me when i need help. I think i made a mistake.
I huff and grab a chair. I stand on it and grab my cup. I push the chair back under the dining table. I walk to the counter slamming the cup down. God, am i pissed right now. I asked for independence not for abandonment. I open the fridge harshly and slam it making the stuff on top of it shake.
I see from the corner of my eye kehlani staring at me. "What?" I snap at her. She shakes her head and goes back to cutting. "Did bloody Mary come?" Kehlani mumbles.
I slam the apple juice down. I turn to her. "Yeah, so what? Kehlani i asked for one thing you gave me something else! All i was saying was that i didn't want to be treated like a child. Not for you to ignore me, I'm asking for help and you just turn away!" I feel the tears coming already.
Gosh i hate crying. Especially in front of people. If I'm going to cry i rather do it alone. But this time i couldn't hold the tears in. In a matter of seconds I'm choking on my own words and just sobbing in kehlani's chest as she tries calming me down.
I finally calm down after 5 minutes of crying. I wipe myself with my own shirt. I'm such a mess right now that i don't want kehlani to see me like this. She turns to look at me. And i immediately turn away.
"Don't look at me, I'm a big mess" i pout. She laughs and grabs me making me face her. "I'm sorry...i didn't mean to ignore you. Well i did but not like that. Not in such a harsh way. I was just backing off like you asked-"
I cut her off. "No, i said i didn't want to be treated-" now she cuts me off. "Like a child, i know. Let me finish, god dammit. And again...please forgive" she says with a bit of hope in her voice. How could i not forgive her? The way she is looking at me is making me blush.
I smile and nod. I give her a tight hug. "Ok are you 2 done arguing? I would really want my fruit now" i hear my mother say.

Hayley's mother points a finger at me and waves me over. I hesitate before walking to her. "Yes ma'am?" I say a little unsure.
She takes my hand and leads me to her room. "Sit." I do as she says and sit on the bed. "Did i do something wrong?" I blurt out.
She shakes her head. When a mother calls you to talk i think of the worst. I think that maybe they find out something about me. Most of the times if a mother pulls you into her room is because you did something wrong. But this isn't my mother...this is my girlfriend's mother and I'm panicking.
"Have you told her yet?"
I frown. I was about to open my mouth to ask about what until it hit me, if i told hayley about the baby situation. That idea is still inserted in my mind. I don't think it will go away until i finally get one.
"Yes i have. I'm a bit disappointed on her reaction though. She started to word vomit. And she starting fabricating excuses. I had an idea of what i was expecting but she went a little too far if i have to be honest. I know hayley has her own stuff but..." i start drifting off.
"I understand hayley can be a bit of a-" she pauses for a second. "How do kids these days say it...turn off?" I laugh at the sudden replacement of words, i know she is trying so hard not to say anything negative about hayley. And the lack of words to describe her is funny.
"Ok but all jokes aside now, please take care of her. Me and Jamie will be going back home in just a few days and she will be needing much love and support" she says with a bit of sadness in her eyes.
I give her a small smile. "Don't worry, Sarah. I will take care of her as much as i can. I will try to be by her side at all times. I will always love her no matter what" i literally start spilling all my emotions to hayley's mother. After a few more minutes of ranting she finally sets me free. It felt good to finally open up to someone who isn't just a friend.
I walk out to see hayley already watching her favorite movie, Hercules. She already has the whole thing memorized, i don't know why she still watches it on TV. Why can't she just watch it in her mind? I laugh to myself knowing that she probably does do it when she is bored.
I take a seat next to her. She immediately cuddles up next to me. I pull the blanket over both of us. I kiss the top of her head inhaling her sweet scent at the same time. She always smells good. I love her aroma, her beautiful brown eyes, her soft silky hair, her cherubic face, and one of my favorite things about her, her voice.
Hayley begins to hum to one of the songs that is featuring in the movie. I close my eyes listening to her beautiful calming voice. "You fell asleep on me already?" I hear her say.
I laugh and open my eyes looking at her. I shake my head. "Just listen to you hum, that's all" i say with a smile. She nods and goes back to watching her movie.
I feel someone shaking me. I instantly sit up and meet hayley's eyes which i can barely see because of the darkness. The moonlight barely hitting her face from the blinds. "What's wrong?" I ask concerned.
Did she get hurt? Bad dream? Bad news? "I want water" she simply says. I frown. "What? Why don't you go get some?" I ask confused on why she woke me up if she just wanted water.
"Because I'm scared to go alone...come with me" she pleads. And she expects me to not treat her like a child when she acts like one.
I sigh and get out of bed. We walk hand in hand to the kitchen to get her some water. "You're a child, hayley" i mumble. She kisses my cheek.
We walk back to the bedroom and i throw myself on it. I lay there with my eyes open staring at the ceiling. Fuck i can't sleep now...
