Dark Romance

Tampons

I woke up.

I was in the living room.

His living room.

"You know you really don't have to chloroform me every time we go from my place to yours."I growled while rubbing my jaw where Prince hit me.

"I heard what you said."He crouched down in front of me.

"About?"I raised an eyebrow.

"Me. You're scared of me. I saw and heard everything."I put my head down. He lifted my chin so I would look him in his eyes."Sweetheart, I am not what you should fear."

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Sure."

"Who were your parents?"

He instantly let me go and backed up.

"Alright fine. I understand. But....why did you protect Carlos from The Marshall?"He looked down.

"I know what its like."

"Really? You ask me fifty million questions on my life and I answer them but you can't answer one single question?"I snapped. He looked at me.

"You still haven't told me about your hidden past."

".....Some things aren't meant to be said"

"Exactly. So don't ask me about my life."He snapped. I looked down and fumbled my fingers."Let me see your ankle."He grabbed my ankle. I watched him."You need ice."He left the living room and returned with ice.

I didn't like cold things.

"Wait wait wait!"I said fastly, holding my hand out.

"Nope. Your swelling needs to go down."He put the bag on my ankle. I inhaled sharply and balled my fist up. He shot me a look.

"ITS COLD!"I yelled and tried to move it.

"I know it is."He moved my hand and pressed down on it.

My stomach started cramping. I held it and crouched over. Prince looked at me.

"Whats your problem?"

"My stomach!"I whined."I-I think I'm starting my period!"

He jumped back and made a disgusted face."But you're a va-"

"I still have it!"I whined.

"Ugh. I'll see if Ray and them got tampon-"

"I don't do tampons! They hurt!"

"So.....youre a virgin-"

"Find some pads!"

"I don't have any. You're going to have to wear tampons. You're 17. You were suppose to wear them a year ago."He said while he started calling someone.

"I tried it but it hurt too bad!"

"Deal with the pain--yo?"He started talking on the phone."Aye you got some uh...womanly material?....yeah she's got enough blood in her fucking system to have a cycle...nigga you got the shit or no?......Alright bring it by."He hung up

"I told you I cant-"

"I don't care."

"...Carlos always made me feel comfortable...."I whispered and looked down.

"Oh please do tell me what Carlos does in this situation cuz I surely do give a shit."

"Carlos and I would watch movies and eat ice cream all night until I fell asleep in his arms. Carlos would buy me pads, not tampons. Carlos would give me body massages. Carlos would sing to me and rock me to sleep, because Carlos was more of a man than you'll ever be."
