Kaylee
A couple minutes after I made the call there was a knock at the door. My heart started to beat faster than it originally did and sweat started to appear on my forehead.
I walked to the door and looked out of the peephole, making sure it was him.
"It's me baby girl, open up." He said pleadingly
I opened the door and he immediately embraced me in a hug that made my heart swell.
It's been so long
So long since I've felt secure and safe from every danger in the world. So long since all my worries floated away just by a touch. So long since I've felt like myself.
And it's all because of my baby boy
We pulled away and looked at each other. He looked a little better since the last time I saw him. He still had a couple of scratches but they weren't as deep, and his leg looks fine but he still limps.
He cleared his throat bringing me back to reality and I noticed we were still in the doorway.
"I'm sorry, please come in." I said opening the door a little more
The girls were at Maya's because I told them my intentions for today and they agreed.
"Thank you." He said walking in
We both sat on the couch staring at the floor. I didn't know exactly what to do or say but his prescence let alone was making an awkward tension in the room.
How am I supposed to be ready to close the space between us if the space is so thick?
We've been away from each other for a while, and ignoring him feels like second nature.
But I didn't want that anymore

Romeo
"Baby girl." I said grabbing her hand
She looked at me with tears staining her rosy cheeks.
My heart shattered in a million pieces and I couldn't imagine how bad she wants us to work and I'm doing nothing to help it.
"Baby girl listen to me." I said closing the space between us
"It wasn't your fault, it was mine. I haven't been truthful with you, but that stops today. I have some things I have to tell you, but when I do, you have to promise me that you will stay with me." I said looking at her in the eyes
"Ok." She said in a shaky breath
"Promise me baby." I replied
She gulped but smiled softly.
"I promise."
That's my girl
I gulped internally knowing this might not work out in my favor, but I still have to try.
"My father is trying to kill me." I said quickly but it was hearable
She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand not believing what she just heard.
"W- Why?" She asked stunned
I sighed but answered
"He wanted me to follow in his footsteps with selling drugs and I refused because I have a dream to play football and..." I paused not ready to admit my love for her yet
"And what Romeo?" Kaylee asked softly
Was it true?
Was the love I have for her actually real or is it just all in my head?
Every time I see her my heart skips a beat, and she's all I ever think about.
I barely sleep at night, because I have this humongous amount of excitement just to see her the next day.
I looked her in the eyes and I knew it was true,
I love her
I love Kaylee Thompson
With my soul

We stared at each other for a moment until his hand moved from his lap to my cheek.
We both leaned in and our lips soon connected making me remember the fiery spark we used to share.
I missed us
But was it true?
I haven't felt this way about anyone, and it's like he brought a new feeling inside of me; I mean I get happy when he's around me and I never want him to leave.
In my past, everyone would leave me, other than my sisters. But I always wanted them to stay with with me... Sadly they couldn't give me the one thing I yearned for...
A chance
That's all I ever wanted
I wanted a chance to prove myself, and nobody gave me that and I thought I was never going to get it.
Until now
Which brings me to the question that has been running around in my mind forever.
Do I have feelings for him?
The answer to that may be clear to some, but I've never been 100% cared for. I've only been cared for by my sisters, never by a boy or girl I've just met, but this feeling in my stomach when I look at him, isn't a tug or pull.
No, it's much more than that. It feels like it's coming from deeper within me.
In my heart
We continued to stare at each other lost in each other's thoughts not taking the lead to say anything.
"I love you Kaylee."
If I wasn't so engrossed in my thoughts, I probably would've missed it, but I heard him say the words I've been yearning for.
He loves me
My mind reminded me of the words he said which brought me to my conclusion.
That feeling I have for Romeo isn't care...
It's love
But I don't think I love Romeo
I think I'm in love with Romeo...
"I- I love you too." I replied looking at him in the eye
His face lightened up immediately making me feel a million times better and he started to play with my hair.
I looked at him lovingly and he leaned in to capture my lips with his making my body warm and melt into his.
He grabbed my waist pulling me into his lap, so I could have more leverage and we continued to kiss slowly and passionately.
His lips felt foreign on mine since it's been a while since we've kissed like this, but I couldn't forget the way his lips felt on mine.
Or the way our bodies molded perfectly together.
He's my baby boy, my protector, and my everything...
And this will be the last time I ignore him
