Not Your typical thug

Karma laid curled up in a ball, with her arms holding her stomach. Its her time of the month, and the cramps seem to be getting worse by the second.

Its been a few days after she went to see Dion in the hospital, and since then she's been going everyday. But today was the exception.

She sent Kacy out to her ginger ale and a heating pad for her, and since he's basically an hour away from civilization, as Karma puts it, its taking him awhile to return.

Small wimpers escaped her mouth and they seemed to help the pain, so she continued until she felt dirty and disgusting. Pulling herself out the bed, she walked to the bathroom and took a hot shower, letting the water run through her hair.

Karma knew her hair would get wild and curly once it dried, but at that moment she didn't care. The water washed away her pain slightly. Enough so she could walk without having to hunch over.

After she showered, she took her pain free time to wrap herself in a towel and her hair, then go downstairs and make something quick to eat.

Settling on shrimp pasta, she ate slowly, not wanting to stuff herself then walked back into the bedroom and threw on Kacy's shirt and underwear with a pad.

"Ugh" she groaned, feeling the pain return. As if her prayers were answered, she heard the front door open and Kacy jog up the stairs. "Thank you Jesus" she mumbled.

The door was pushed open and Kacy walked in with a CVS bag full of pads, wipes and a heating pad just like Karma asked for. "I left the ginger ale downstairs."

"Bring it up. No ice please" she said plugging up the heating pad. She laid it on her stomach, over the shirt and waited until it got hot. "Finally" she smiled, already feeling slightly better.

Kacy walked back into the room with a can of ginger ale, and a plate of food for himself. "This pasta good ma" he mumbled, taking a seat in the bed. "The heatin pad helpin?"

"Yea" she said taking a sip of the ginger ale "Thanks babe"

"No problem" he leaned over and pecked her lips but gave her a look "You wearing my white shirt when you bleedin?" He asked her, mugging her.

"Sorry, but its the first thing I saw"

"And I got white sheets. Man, don't fuck round and move the wrong way" he warned "You will be washin my shit while you crampin"

"You wouldn't do that to me" Karma smiled at me "Kiss?" She puckered her lips out.

Kacy chuckled and pecked her lips "Everybody sayin you turned me soft" he said, putting food in his mouth "What you think?"

Karma slowly sat up and wiped the sides of his mouth "I don't think so. But I do think you're smiling more. I have that affect on people"

"You so damn cocky" he shook his head "But I think you changin me. Honest. I ain't never been this happy before, and I ain't never care fa' someone as much as I care fa' you"

Karma looked over at him then the TV "Kacy I don't know how I feel about you. I know I like you a lot, and care for you. But I think your feelings are more in depth then mine"

"I already caught on ta' that baby girl. It bothered me at first, but I know everyone different, feel me? It might take you a lil longer ta' care fa' me like I care fa' you, and I'm cool with that. Like I tol' you baby, I'll be patient with you"

Karma smiled a little "I appreciate that Kacy. And another thing. I may not have such deep feelings like you, but I do see us going far with this. You might not think so, but we both have a major problem. Mine, is my insecurities and yours is being open. You're a compassionate nigga, and could compliment me all day, helping with my insecurities. And I'm patient and trusting, that'll help you with being open with me. You see?"
