"I want you to meet my mama," I tell Malayah.
My fingers tangle in her hair as I play with it. She yawns and nods her head. She traces my tattoos on my chest, trying not to fall asleep. It's only 12:30. I didn't want that nigga messing with without Jay around and Jay's stupid ass got sent home early so I picked her up from school early. Plus she's coming to the studio with me at 4:30, and once she falls asleep, it takes forever for me to wake her up.
"I'm serious baby, I want her to know that I got me a down bitch," I tell ha.
My mama always telling me I gotta settle down at sum point. I think I found somebody I wanna settle down wit.
"I'm not your down bitch, I'm your ride or die, I don't like the word bitch," she says, yawning again.
"Okay baby girl," I say, kissing the top of her head.
"That kid Jamaal, from today, he's in all my classes, don't you think that's weird?" Malayah asks me.
I sit up on my elbows and down at ha on my chest.
"Yes, the fuck. Why didn't you tell me?" I snap at ha.
"I don't know, Jay said he's gonna try to find out more about him to see why he here, he thinks there's something fishy about him," she says.
She wraps her arms around me and lays kisses on my chest. I lay back down and continue playing with her hair.
"Malayah, I love you," I whisper, but she doesn't say anything. I laugh to myself, she fell asleep. I hear my phone vibrate on the nightstand. I grab it but I don't have any messages. It's Malayah's phone. I grab it and put in ha password.

"Malayah! Wake yo ass up!" I yell, pushing her off me.
"Man what Kimetrius?"she asks, groaning.
"Why Jamaal texting? Huh? You cheating?" I yell.
"No, what the fuck are you talking about?" She asks, reaching for her phone. I snatch it away from her.
This bitch wanna play games. Ight bet.
"Get the fuck out Malayah!" I yell at ha.
I knew I shouldn't have fell in love so fucking quickly. My dumb ass neva learn.
"Kimetrius, what the fuck is wrong? Lemme see," she pleads. I throw ha ha phone and go into my closet and get ha duffel bag. She follows me. I start packing here shit.
"Wassup lil mama?" I hear that nigga say.
She fucking called his ass. She got some damn nerves.
"How did you get my number Jamaal?" She asks him.
"Well yo friend Skylar-," she hangs up in the middle of his sentence.
I stand there not knowing what to do next. I know I look dumb ass fuck though. Damn it, I'm always letting my anger get the best of me.
"You still wanna kick me out Kimetrius?" she asks, ha eyes starting to tear up.
"Listen-," she cuts me off.
"Listen nothing, why the fuck would I cheat on you? You could've at least talked to me about it instead of assuming that I was cheating on you!" She yells.
"I'm sorry Malayah," is all I really could say.
She rolls her eyes and walks out the closet and lays on my bed. I know she's still sleepy. I let her go to sleep. I get on my bed, leaning against my headboard.
I feel bad, I always let my anger take control. I don't do that talking shit, it's always action. I just hope I never get angry enough to hit her, on purpose at least. I still feel bad about the other day with Andre. My dumb ass neva pay attention.
I grab my phone and scroll through Instagram. I hear Malayah's phone vibrating again. If it's that Jamaal nigga, imma kill his ass.
Lil Bro🤯💜 wants to FaceTime.....
"Yo, she sleeping, what you need?" I ask JayShawn.
"So I told Malayah I would look up Jamaal and find sum shit on him, but I can't," Jay says.
"What you mean?" I ask him.
Something is up wit this nigga.
"I looked for a Jamaal Murray but there isn't and get this, he's from East Cali. What I don't understand is East Cali is the rich part of Cali, why the fuck would you move from there to here? Something ain't sitting right wit dis nigga," JayShawn says.
"When y'all go to school, watch Malayah. When she go to the bathroom, you go with her. When she go out ta eat fa lunch, you go wit ha. Ight? Cuz this got Andre's name all ova it," I tell him.
"Ight, cuz this nigga got all his classes wit Malayah, which is weird as fuck," he tells me.
This nigga Andre jus don't stop. I already beat his ass now he want me to kill his ass.
"Ight, imma hit you up lata lil bro," I tell Jay.
"Ight tell Malayah I said hi," Jay says.
"Hey lil bro," I hear Malayah say. Her eyes are closed but she's awake.
"I thought yo lazy ass was sleeping," Jay laughs.
She laughs with him.
"Well I was trying to until you called and then here y'all go talking about sum bum ass nigga," she answers.
"Ight sis, I'll talk to y'all lata," Jay says, hanging up.
I put her phone on the nightstand. Malayah gets up and sits on my lap with each leg on both sides of me.
"I'm sorry Malayah," I tell her, rubbing her back.
"It's fine Ki, you're just scared imma hurt you," she tells me.
She's right. I am scared to get hurt again.
"I love you Malayah," I say, pecking her lips.
"I know."
