It's A Tough World

Chapter 17 - Why me

Laila's POV
I felt tears forming in my eyes as I stared angrily at King. How df could he cheat on me.

"Lai , you really have to let me explain this shit" King said stuttering a bit.

"King I'll fuck you up bruh, I don't play about my sister " Lani said looking more angry than me

"Lani, I got this ,yall can just go ahead I'll meet yall inside " I said unable to hold back tears.

As Nia and Lani got out the car I gathered my things.

"Lai, baby please just hear me out" King said with tears actually start to form in his eyes. The look he gave me actually made me want to hear what he had to say ,but I couldn't fall for this shit again.

"King, were done. I don't ever want to hear from you again. I'm glad to know I wasn't enough for you and you need this hoe on the side, but it's cool love . I'm good!" I yelled as I tried to exit the car but King grabbed my arm.

"Baby I swear I love you, just hear me out after school then if you dont ever want to talk to me again , I'll understand. " King said letting go of my arm.

I just got out the car, tears rolling down my eyes. I couldnt believe he did this to me.

When I got inside Lani and Nia was waiting for me.

Lani gave me the twin look and I nodded. She knew that meant I didn't want to talk about it but I could use a hug. She came up and gave me the biggest hug she could. Nia joined in too.

"Thanks guys, but we'll talk when we get home, we all have to class" I said

*****
After school I was ready to just lay in my bed. King had blew up my phone all damn day asking to talk. I just don't understand what there is to talk about.  You cheated, fucked this bitch, now you about to be a whole ass daddy at 17.

Buzzzzz
King😏❤🙈
Lai, come here.

I read the text then looked up to see King's car in the front of the school.

"Hear him out" Lani said walking behind me.

"Hell naw, fuck him " I said angrily

"Just hear him out sis, at least give him a chance to explain himself " Lani said. "Then you can say fuck him.  But at least you'll know everything" Lani said with a shrug.

"Ughhh okay. I'll just meet you guys back at the house" I said as I gave Lani and Nia a hug.

I walked over to King's car and got in.

"Hey Lai," King said with his eyes full of tears.

I didnt care about that shit though.

"What"? I yelled.

King just drove off and started heading to our favorite park. When we arrived he hopped out and grabbed a blanket and basket from trunk.

"Wow so we just finna have a picnic like ain't shit happen" I said

"Lai , just come here" King said spreading the blanket on the grass.

I went over and sat as far away from him as possible.

"Lai, Just listen open heartedly and try to pretend this morning didn't happen. "

I said nothing

"Before I met you I never let a bitch get close to my heart EVER. Even if I really was feeling a girl it would later reveal she was after my money. My family is known here for owning a lot of businesses so natives know we have money. I also promised my mom before she died I would find a good woman. So I vowed to keep my heart out of any relationship I had . So every relationship I had was on some friends w Benefits type shit. I fucked and left. Really didnt even keep contact with them hoes. I met the girl Keisha last year though and she was a constant fuck whenever I wanted it so it was someone I continued to fuck with. But when I met you everything changed. I wasn't just worried about fucking bitches,  I was worried about my girlfriend and her feelings. I went from only thinking about basketball to thinking about you all day everyday. You really opened my heart for the first time in years Lai and I really fucked it up a couple weeks ago.  I knew you was a virgin,  and I didnt want to pressure you into sex. I went from having sex every day to not having sex at all and I was sexually frustrated asf. I even told her this was the last time we was fucking because I had a girlfriend. My dumb ass didn't use a condom but I definitely pulled out early asf so I really think this hoe just want to cause drama. We can get a DNA test at 4 months so I'll have to wait until then. Baby I understand if you dont ever wanna hear from me again but I just needed you to hear me out. I meant what I said when I said I love you, and I'm never going to give up on us. " King said and exhaled after he finally ended his rant.

Honestly I was shook, it really wasn't so much of what he said but the way he looked at me while saying it. No one ever looked at me this way in my life. King really did love me. The crazy thing is after all this bs I realized I loved him too.
