In Love With a Thug✔️

Chapter 11

I M A N I ' S < P O V

Waking up I remember that I still have Maliques car and I need to give it back to him. I get up off the couch that we were all huddled up on and stretch. I grab my phone and see that it's 10:00am. I should really head back to Maliques place. I go to my bedroom and undress so I can shower. When I'm out of the shower I throw on some leggings and one of Maliques oversized t-shirts. When I walk out the room I go to see if my sisters are up yet and sure enough they were.

"Guys I have to bring Malique his car." I tell them and they both turn their heads away from the tv and put all their attention on me.

"Will you be back?" Mariah asks and I frown knowing that I probably won't be coming back.

"No, I don't think so. But I promise I'll be back tomorrow." I promise them and Mariah comes up and gives me a big hug and I embrace her back. Lisa just rolls her eyes and walks upstairs.

I can't leave her like this so I follow her up the stairs and into her and Mariah's bedroom. "Look, Lisa, I'm sorry. But Malique needs his car back. I promise I will be back tomorrow." I said to her. Turning her head to face me, the tears threatened to come down and it made my heart sink. I walk up to her and embrace in a big hug and she hugs me back. "You promise you'll be back tomorrow?" She asked me.

"Yes."

When I pull up to Maliques house I knock on the door and walk in. The door wasn't locked, which is weird because his door was always locked.

"Malique?" I yell throughout the house before I hear the shower running in the bathroom. I go into the kitchen and start cooking brunch knowing that Malique probably hasn't eaten yet. I make him french toast, sausage and eggs. I heard the shower turn off and by that time I was done cooking.

"Mamas, you here? Something smells good up in here." he says walking into the kitchen and sees me making him a plate.

"Hey babe." I smile at him and he smiles back at me making his way over to me. He goes behind me and wraps his arms around me, giving me a few kisses on my cheek and back on my neck.

"Mmm, are you on the menu?" he asks, biting my earlobe making a shiver run down my spine.

"Mmmm, as tempting as that sounds." I say slipping out of his hold that wasn't really tight, "I am hungry and I know you are too." I say putting his plate down and motioning for him to sit.

He does so and starts eating as do I.

~Next Morning~

Waking up with Malique on my chest has become my new favorite thing to wake up to. Waking up in his arms, just waking up with him in the same bed as me. Two more weeks and I am graduated. Then my birthday and I will be 18.

Pushing Malique off of me as he groans and rolls off of me I get up and get in the shower. When I get out Malique is still fast asleep in bed saying my name.

"I'm right here baby." I say as I walk into the closet and search for something to wear. When I finally find something to wear I wake Malique up which is hard to do because he hates being woken up. I walk into the kitchen and prepare breakfast for the both of us.

Right when I finish he comes strolling in dressed and ready to take me to school.

When I get into the school, I see Caleb from a distance and as soon as we make eye contact fear flashes in his eyes and he basically runs into a classroom.

Okay, that was weird. Usually he tries to walk up to me and talk to me, especially when I'm by myself. I'm not complaining though, I'm tired of rejecting him. I want him to leave me alone and apparently that's what I'm getting.

The whole day Caleb has been avoiding me when usually it's the other way around. I was by myself today because Adrianna wasn't here so this would have been the best time to try and bother me without having to hear her talk badly to him. I don't know how I should feel about this. Should I be thankful that he's finally leaving me alone? Or should I try and figure out why he is avoiding me? As much as I know that I shouldn't, I want to know why at least.

When I finally seen Caleb not paying attention to his surroundings, meaning me, he still had that hoodie on his head. I walk up to him and snatch it off and was surprised at what I saw. His face all bruised up.

"Oh my god, Caleb what happened?" I ask him feeling bad for him.

"It was your boyfriend." he said, venom laced all in his words.

"What?" I was confused. How would Malique have been able to do that to his face? He only knew where Caleb went to school because, obviously.

"Your boyfriend. You know, Saturday, when I texted you and apologized to you about kissing you. You told me to meet up with you at the park so we can talk so I did and your boyfriend was there and beat the hell outta me." I look at him in complete shock. Malique wouldn't do that. Would he? "I don't believe you, show me proof." I say despite knowing that it was for sure Malique.

Caleb scoffed and pulled out his phone showing me the messages that were sent back and forth. I can't fucking believe it. Malique really went out and beat this niggas ass. What am I going to do? I think to myself.

"I am honestly so sorry Caleb." I say to him meaning it. I really am sorry that Malique did this to him. His whole face is bruised.

Whenever Malique came and got me as soon as I got in the car I punched him in the chest.

"What the fuck was that for!" he yells at me.

"For going behind my back and beating the shit outta Jake." I yell back, as I'm yelling Malique is backing out the parking lot to the main road so he could get on the highway. "And you gotta take me home." I was determined to fix the relationship with my sisters. They were missing me something serious and I had to figure out a way to incorporate everyone into my schedule.

"Man, I don't know what you talkin' about ma." he says looking directly at the road ahead him. So he's really just gonna sit here in my face and lie.

"So you really just gon sit there in my face and lie to me like I don't already know the truth." I tell him, making him look my way and back onto the road.

"Okay, so what if I did beat that lil nigga up. So what." he says nonchalantly. Is he fucking serious right now?

"Uhh, what if he called the cops on your ass. He can still do that." I say and he takes his eyes off the road to look at me again for a split second.

"Man, fuck 12!" he yells making me jump and looking back onto the road. Well if that's how he feels.

"Whatever man. Don't do no more shit like that. Understand me?"

"Man, who the hell you think you talking to?" he ask playfully

"I think I'm talking to Malique Davis."

"Naw, you know better than to be talking to daddy like that." he says and looks at me doing his signature smirk. What was I going to do with him.
