Messiah

Wen I seen shorty at the store, I had to admit she was bad af. I recognized her from the gym. Always checking me out but I can't lie I was checking her out too. She always looked angry tho so I jus figured she was bitter. One of those women who put on a mean ass face so niggas won't come to them.

She look a lil older than me but I love older women. They kno wat they want. I was currently waiting for her at the gym. She came in looking fine as usual. Her skin always looked so smooth and she never wore makeup during her workout which I loved. I hate wen bitches wear makeup to workout cuz they wanna look cute but then they look like they melting after they start sweating and shit. I told her hey but I wasn't sure if she would feel comfortable wit me hugging her so I jus stayed there awkwardly.

I noticed she only had my seeing one side of her face. I didn't kno y until we finished stretching n I seen a bruise on her cheek. "Damn ma, wat u do? Go and beat tht person ass?" I told her lookin at her cheek. She touched her cheek like she forgot it was there n looked away "sumn like tht" she mumbled n bit her lip. Wat she mean something like tht?

Jus then her phone started to ring. Whoever was on the phone was loud and sounded angry. Then I heard "if I find out u somewhere wit a nigga I'll beat yo ass Sae" automatically I got angry. Tht nigga put the bruise on her cheek. It doesn't take a genius. After she hung up i asked "boyfriend?" "Sumn like tht" she said again.

What is it tht make women stay wit a nigga tht beat they ass, I'll never understand. I'll never disrespect a woman like tht. But Ian finna preach to her bout how I can tear her better. It ain't my place n ion kno they situation. All I can do it mind my business.

Today is our anniversary. He forgot, AGAIN. I'm not surprised tho, it's the third time in a row. Even tho I could've stayed home n given myself a day off I decided to go to work. I didn't want to be around him n I was dreading the thought of going home.

I was so bored, it was so much paperwork to do. As if on cue Messiah walked in. I was kind of surprised to see him I didn't think he would come here. But I was happy no less.

"Hey you" I smiled big and got up to hug him
"Hey you" he smiled back

"I didn't kno u were coming." I beamed. "Ik thts the point of a surprise" he chuckled.

I looked at her from across the desk. She was beautiful, I don't see how anyone could put they hands on her. But then again I didn't kno the full story. She could be a tyrant. But tht wouldn't warrant any nigga putting they hands on her. I wanted to ask her bout it cuz it's been bothering me but it ain't my business.

"Why u looking at me like tht" she asked me. Before I could stop myself I asked. "Why u let tht dude hit u? I mean it ain't none of my business but I don't understand wat would make a nigga hit a woman" she looked shocked

"It's complicated" she frowned "nothing is ever that complicated and a relationship shouldn't be complicated period"

She sighed and begin telling me how they been together for 10 years today and they've been through so much and how she has hope that he gon change his mind. I felt bad for her. From wat I gathered he was a manipulative narcissistic ass nigga who was using her for money. Nigga didn't even hav a job. He got her credit low af. He was just sucking her dry. Physically, mentally and emotionally. She was a strong independent woman but she was stupid for having hope.

I walked around her desk to comfort her. By the time she finished talking she was in tears.

"Wats wrong wit me? Wat am I doing wrong?" She asked, he made her insecure. I really fuckin hate tht nigga. "Uan do nun wrong ma, looka me" I held her chin up, she was so fuckin beautiful to me "uan do nun wrong Ight? U a strong, beautiful, intelligent woman." "I'm not strong....or beautiful" she said "yes u r and any nigga would be lucky to hav u" I said getting closer to her face "if u was mine, I'll tell u tht u were beautiful every single day and I would show u how much I love u. I would shower u with love every chance I get bcuz tm isn't promised. The only bruises u would get from me are the ones I leave on yo neck after I made love to u." I whispered in her ear n I seen her shiver a lil.

So this chapter was mad short but ima continue it in the next chapter. Ima start writing in third person only cuz I don't really like going back n forth. We gon see how that go tho.
