Bare with me (Part 2)

-Autumn-

"Don't you see that I got baggage my hearts way to hard to manage ohhh ouuu no"

"I can't give a nigga my trust Said you working to change that But just bare with me You gotta bare with me Oh, bare with me, oh Baby just, oh just Bare with me" I sang as I washed my body in the shower I felt a pair of cold hands wrap around my waist I jumped as I held my chest I turned around and it was Lucas

"Lucas you can't keep doing this can you at least tell me when you're coming over?!" I covered up my body and he moved my hands

"What it's not nothing I've never seen before" I rolled my eyes and tried to grabbed my towel but he grabbed my throat

"What did I tell you about rolling your eyes at me" he pushed my head I refrained from rolling my eyes because that's another beating  I'm not ready for

I'm supposed to be going on a date with this man I know from the hospital I work at his name is Jabari and he's a Nurse just like me we work on different floors but we see each other often

"Lucas I'm going somewhere later can you watch the kids?" He looked at me to see if I was serious

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to dinner with a colleague" I halfway lied

"Ight it's a girl right?" He turned back around

"Why does it matter Lucas we're not together" I  said as I put things back in my purse and got the curlings iron slipped on my red dress and put my robe on and started curling my flat ironed hair I sighed as I looked in the mirror and thought about how I was gonna leave it bout him noticing I was going with a Man I got my phone out my purse and texted Jabari and told him I'm gonna drive myself to the restaurant And meet him there I sat my phone down on the vanity and continued curl my hair

-30 minutes pass-

I put on concealer around some of the marks I had left on my face and put light natural beat to my face and looked in mirror and smiled I took my robe off as my curls bounced I grabbed my Prada bag walked in the babies rooms and gave them kisses as they peacefully slept in the bed and headed for the door grabbed my keys and walked to the car

I texted Jabari a quick "On my way!" And closed my car door I sighed and looked at the dashboard and back out the driveway

I listened to Teyana Taylor's new album and replayed my favorite song bare with me and sung along with her "I been telling niggas lies
Tryna split up all my time With two or three guys Cause I can't make up my mind I know I'm so indecisive And I know that you don't like it And I'd never let my guard down But you steady tryna wife it (oh no) Don't you see that I got baggage My heart's way too hard to manage (oh no) I can't give a nigga my trust Said you working to change that But just bare with me" I paused the song as I got to the restaurant and turned my car off grabbed my purse and stuffed my keys in there I looked in the mirror one last time and applied my red lipstick and stepped out the car I pulled my satin dress down a little and walked up to the door luckily Jabari was right behind me

"Do you have a registration?" The lady asked

"Yes I have a registration for Moore" Jabari stepped in he grabbed my hand gently I smiled

"Hey baby how was your day?" He asked as the waiter brought us to our seats

"It was fine I'm a little tired but that's an always with these kids" I laughed

"How are the kids?" I sighed

"They're fine Amari's catching a cold but Armani is good like always" I smiled
