Work In Progress

10: It All Belongs To Me

Qua POV

Once they both, I guess, 'calmed down' I got a call from Khalil.

"What?" I yelled intot the phone purpose. Just to get on his nerves.

"Stop yellin'. Can you come over for a sec. I need to talk to you."

"Your talkin' to me now. Spit it out." I said really not wanting to speak to or look at him.

"I gotta show you somethin'."

"Boy no. Bye."

"Qua-" I hung up in his face. If you aint 'bout the money i dont wanna talk.

I walked into the house to be greeted by the cold air. Nigga its winter outside. Where the heat at tho?

"Nate?!" I yelled up the stairs. He made a groaning noise before I adjusted the heat and went to see what was wrong with him. His room was a mess. Glass everywhere, holes in the walls, tv on the floor, mirror scattered across the room. He had another melt down about his grandma. To see him in so much pain, hurt me a little.

"Nate, are you okay?" I asked, walking carefully over to him. He just sat back on the bed and let the tears come as they were. He sniffled one last time before getting up to the bathroom.

"Nate, you cant avoid everyone. We are here for you." I said rubbing his back. He snatched away.

"Dont do that." I said calmly. He looked at me for a while before he hugged me tightly and cried just a little more.

"I know it hurts but you gotta stop. You gotta be strong." I said trying to cheer him up.

He let me go before speaking and turning away.

"Aight now get out." He said but it wasn't serious.

"What I do?"

"Lemme clean myself. Gone on."

"Okay whatever." I said because of the fact that I've already seen him at his worst. So while he did his duty I talked to my mom.

"So where are you staying?"

"With Nate but I'm moving next week. I got me a little condo up North."

"Okay. Thats nice."

"Mom, whats wrong?"

"Nothing. I'll call you later."

"Okay. Bye."

"Love you, bye." She said quickly before hanging up. It seems like shes hiding something from me.

Khalil POV

Yup, I'm the asshole that ruined it with probably the best girl in the world. Its not that I wasnt gonna tell her about me havin' a child, its that I didnt know the right time. Me and Chyna(his baby momma) got a lil' some, but as you see it aint serious. I really do like Qua, real nigga shit.

"Why you all tensed up? Yo side bitch left you?" Chyna joked as she handed me Sariyah.

"She wasnt the side bitch."

"Right."

"Man shut the fuck up with all that shit." I said, not wanting to play with her.

"Dont get mad at me cause yo' dick done gone limp." She defended herself.

"But you want say that shit the otha' night when you was swallowin'." I spat back at her. She rolled her eyes before she left out. I played with Riyah as I tried to call and text Qua, but there was no answer.

Nate POV

"Okay, no more doin' that." Qua said as she put up the broom after we cleaned the glass off my bedroom floor.

"Sorry." I laughed as I plopped down on the bed.

"So guess who has a child."

"Khalil." I said sure of the answer.

"How you know?"

"He works for me. I know everything on that nigga."

"Why you aint tell me?!"

"One, I thought you knew. Two, Do you or do you remember what happened the last time I tried to jump in your relationship?"

"Well I didnt know and shut up." She laughed. The last time I tried to tell her some shit about her 'boyfriend' she straight cussed my ass out talm bout some "You just jealous cause I aint with you" and all that. Little girl, sit down.

"Ugghh." She grunted.

"Whats wrong with you?"

"I'm tired of trying to do this over and over again."

"Do what."

"This love shit. I dont know nun' about it and I it seems like I'm alone in this shit."

Qua was fine and everything you could ask for. She was alone because she had no one to teach her, and these niggas do nothing but take advantage of her. But, if she would think. What she needs is all right here.

"But I do have to tell you something." She said excitedly.

"Wassup?"

"I will be moving out next week."

"Oh, cool." I said. Lowkey sad, but she aint need to know that.

"Why you lowkey sad."

"I aint sad."

"Whatever. You gonna miss me?" She cooed in my face like a little baby.

"Yeah." I spoke truthfully. She looked shocked by my response.

"Qua, can I be honest with you?"

"Always."

"Well about that whole love thing and you alone, you are. But you not. You have a great personality and just the whole package. Your just too blind to see that what you need and want is right in front of you."

Qua POV

"Well about that whole love thing and you are alone, you are. But you not. You have a great personality and just the whole package. Your just too blind to see that what you need is right in front of you." He spoke and left me in a trance. He leaned in and so did I. Our lips met before he climbed on top of me.

"Its yours. Touch it, grab it, play with it. Do whatever you want." He said as my hand was against his crotch. Lord knows I wanted to, but at this point, I was a little confused and needed time to think.
