Jennifer

I laid Destiny on my bed and closed the door. I walked back in the living room and saw Cortez sitting on the sofa.

"So you going to tell me what the fuck happened back there?"

"Man, that wasn't shit. Get over it," he said with a scowl.

"Nah, I ain't forgetting shit! The fuck she mean you come see her everyday?"

He shook his head. "We fucked around a couple of times!"

"When Cortez?"

"Yesterday."

I slapped him on the face, quicker than I could imagine. "Why would you do that? Plus, you tried to fuck me on the same day? You're so unbelievable." I punched him in the chest.

"You're going to stop hitting me Jennifer," he yelled.

"No. Hit me back then nigga. Since you think you're the shit, hit me back!"

I started to punch his chest but his hands grabbed my wrist. "I'm sorry Jenn."

"No you're not! We just started going together Cortez. Why would you do this to me?" I said starting to cry. I was so sensitive with boys and I hated to cry when they're in the wrong. It makes me feel weak and vulnerable.

"I'm sorry baby," he said placing a kiss on my cheek. "Things got out of hand." He placed a kiss on my neck. "And I." He placed a kiss on my lips. "Am not going to hurt you Jenn."

He let go of my wrist and held my waist. I wanted to stop him but my body wouldn't allow me to. He sucked on various spots on my neck leaving a tingling sensation. I still felt hot tears running down my face and I suspected he did too because he started to kiss them away.

"Say you forgive me," he ordered.

I shook my head and tried to leave out of his grasp but he only squeezed my waist tighter. "Say it Jenn."

"I forgive you Cortez," I said while sighing. It was hard to say those words but I had to. I didn't want to go through these types of problems when I have to fight over what's mine.

That morning, the sound of the doorbell awoken me out of my slumber.

I groaned and got out of bed. I walked into the hall and to the front door. When I opened it, Jace stood at his 6"1 frame with a smile on his face.

"Good morning Jenn," he greeted.

"Good morning Jace. What are you doing here?"

He frowned. "I came to tell Destiny bye and I had to tell you something."

"Destiny is sleep and for what?"

"Can I come in first?"

I nodded and he made his way into my house. "So, I've been thinking. Ever since you broke up with me, I've been an emotional wreck and 'til this day, I still regret ever disclaiming Destiny. If I didn't, I know we would still be together as one happy family. I miss those times Jenn, I really do. And I still love you baby."

I held up my hand. "No, don't call me baby. You had your chance three years ago but you disclaimed our baby Jace. How could you? Wait.. Forget I even asked that."

"Can I just get a hug before I go? Please?"

I stood in a fixed position and shook my head. He chuckled and said, "you've always been so stubborn Jennifer. I love you baby mama. I'll see y'all in two weeks." He hugged my body and left out the house.
