Treacherous Love

White Range Rover

As I was getting off the elevator onto the parking ramp Maliks nurse was getting on (she was also the same one that screwfaced me at my doctor's appointment). She smirked and I didn't even bother to acknowledge her. It was dark by now and I regret not getting my keys out before I got off. I dug in my purse for them while I made my way quickly to my car and as soon as I pulled them out, I was startled by a pair of strong arms circling my waist. Taking a shaky breath in I turned around slowly and when I met his eyes my heart dropped, breathing picked up, and my eyes widened into the size of saucers. With an unreadable expression on his face Maurice pulled me into a tight hug. "You ok? I was worried!" Shaking like a leaf I pulled out of his embrace and tried to read his eyes. "Im fine! I..I was uh..wha...what are you doing here?!" It all came rushing out broken up. As he stepped back a bit I noticed he wasn't alone. There were two men with him. "I got a call that you were at the hospital"  His voice was monotone. "You...you had me followed?!" It came out just above a whisper.  Anger immediately rose up Inside of me and I bit my lip, my nose flared out and my breathing escalated as I balled my fist so hard I could feel my nails piercing my palm. "Of course" His voice and eyes remained the same, motioning to one of the men he began pulling me away from my car to towards his truck. "Wait, what are you doing? My cars right there." I said pointing to the vehicle he obviously knew belonged to me. He snatched my keys and threw them to the dude and to my surprise I was put in the backseat and Chris hopped in the driver seat. I looked at Maurice full of confusion "What's going on?" I tried scooting myself out the seat to climb out the truck, but he grabbed my waist and my damn seatbelt on like I was a fucking child. Slapping at his hands angrily "What the fuck are you doing?" Maurice thumped my lips "Watch your mouth" just as quickly as he thumped me he kissed me. "I still got some things to handle. Go home, feed my daughter and rest." I grabbed the collar of his polo shirt and he pushed my hands away and slammed the door. I pulled on the handle, but it wouldn't open. "Seriously! You used the child lock!!" I called out the window. I watched Maurice hop in a white range rover and pull off with my car following and then Chris pulled out as well. I turned to Chris "Hey WTF is going? What is he doing?" When he turned up the music to clearly block me out I just looked out the window and rubbed my stomach trying to remind myself to remain calm. My mind wondered back to running into Maliks nurse. What if she says something on my next appointment? She obviously has some issue with me. Damn! Got to be more careful! My stomach started growing and Simone seemed like she was trying to fight the rumble. I hadn't eaten since my brunch with Adonis, I was too busy trying to make sure Malik was alright. "Chris can you stop somewhere and get me a snack?" For some reason he chuckled "That's already been taken care of" I pursed my lips together and shook my head. "What are you talking about?" I asked calmly. "Maurice ordered something for you, it should be ready  by now." I just exhaled and clenched my teeth. This shit is ridiculous now he's trying to control me? Where I go, what I eat. "So what exactly is it that I'm going to be eating?" I asked sarcastically. I knew wasn't the one I really was upset with, but he was here so..... Chris huffed but didn't comment. I just let it go and let the wind blow in my hair as I thought about what this man was up to.

I must've fallen asleep, because the next thing I know Chris was shaking me. "Rai!" He helped me out the car and handed me a bag from Olive Garden. When did we stop there? I thought to myself. Then I wondered of all the places to order for me how did he pick the restaur.....oooh shit! He did say he had me followed! Oh Lord I will never hear the end of it. Now I gotta figure out who to tell him Adonis is!! And that must be why he did what he did to Malik!! I done fucked up big time. Smmfh. As I walked to the front door I checked my phone, I had two missed calls from Regina and three messages from Maurice. I threw my purse and bag of food on the little side table next to the door knocking over the vase of fresh flowers. I cussed at my clumsiness and rushed towards the downstairs bathroom, there was no way I was making it upstairs right now. I read the messages while I was on the toilet.
