Holy Angel

50. Together Again

Mason

He sat in the living room as he stared up at the t.v.. The meeting today was nothing important, not important enough for him to pay any attention too. On his mind, during the whole 'talk', all Mason could think about was Miya. He wondered what was she doing in Cali and if she actually moved here or if she's just visiting to handle her fathers business. Either way, he couldn't be any happier that she was here; even if it wasn't with him.

Mason waited hours after everyone left for Miya to come back. He almost gave up hope that she wasn't coming back tonight. Mason stood to his feet and stretched his limbs. He took out his phone and sighed when it said 2:30 A.M.

He threw his phone on the couch and turned off his tv. He felt as though she lied to him. Shaking his head Mason made his way towards the back of the house, but he stopped when he heard his front door unlocked. He turned on his heels to watch her come inside her brown skin seemed to glisten in the dark. Instead of wearing what she had on earlier she wore black spandex shorts that stopped at the very top of her thighs and a white cropped tank top that exposed her lower breast. Her hair was curly again, but slapped into a high bun.

He watched as she closed the door behind her and locked it. She turned to look at him and raised her brow.

"You look upset." Miya bit down on her bottom lip as she walked up to him.

He noticed something right off the bat. Her demeanor wasn't uplifting, she seemed sad and looked at if she was crying or wanted to cry.

"What's wrong with my baby?" He walked up to her and instantly wrapped his arms around her. He felt as though him being selfish and only thinking about himself was wrong at the moment. Her forehead rested on his chest, keeping her face down.

There was a pause in the room before he heard a sniffle. He nudged his eyebrow together and wondered what was really up.

"I don't want you to say anything. I want you to listen to me and after I want to sleep, but with the way I'm feeling right now," she paused. "I can't keep doing this with you." Her voice shook as she shook her head side to side.

He squinted both of his eyes and bit his tongue. He wanted her to say everything she had to say before he blew up on her.

"But I love you so, so, so fucking much and I really want to be with you because I don't see myself with anybody else." Her voice cracked a little. He started to feel some kind of way. Mason wondered if this was her way of really breaking up with him and ending everything.

"I love you more than I ever loved anyone in my life and that's saying so much coming from me, but you got to stop putting your hands on me. I've already told you what my father did to my mama, but it's like you're doing the same exact shit. You can't keep doing this to me. You don't hurt the people you claim to love Mason." She sniffed more and used the back of her hand to wipe her eyes. "I'm not here to threaten you because I don't ever want to leave you, but I'll do anything to protect the little seed that's going to be growing me soon."

Mason jerked his head back in confusion as he tooted his lip up into the air.

"You pregnant?"

"It's only been two months Mason, so I'm not sure; but if I do turn out to be pregnant you have to control yourself." She looked up at him finally showing her face. The middle of her face was both red and swollen, but tears still managed to fall.

"How you mean you don't know?" Mason arched his brow.

"Mason, please not right now." She shook her head and stepped back from him so that they were both looking at each other clearly. She wiped her face with the back of her head.
