"So," I dragged out the word lowly, his intense gaze catching my brown eyes, "why'd ya move in the first place."
The question seemed to catch him off guard but I notice he wasn't necessarily surprised.
He hummed softly, the color in his eyes glazed over to a more dull gray. His mind lost as he searched for the right words.
The rustling of shopping carts and conversing echoed throughout our neighbouring grocery market.
There were certain things that I had to put a strain on since I was a very impatient person but this was something I had to respect. He was living alone and from what I could tell from little aspects he gave away, he was lonely a majority of his life. I didn't really know how I knew, it was a sort of feeling that gave off the sad emotion.
"I had to get away," Keith finally said, "what went on that night was something I didn't want to stay around for."
A dry laugh left his lips then a solemn silence took over.

Reigns Over Me
Sequel to Mr Reigns The room echoed despite the fact that it was filled with furniture and papers spread everywhere. The doctor who was sitting in front of me, had a bright smile on his face. Julien, on the other side, looked terrified. He was looking at me with horror. I felt like I couldn't move. I was frozen into place. The smile on the doctor's face started to fade slowly before he cleared his throat and regained his professional posture. "I think I didn't hear right" Julien was the first one to talk after a few minutes of pure silence. "Judging by your reaction, I would say that you did hear right" The doctor said. His name was Matt and it turned out that Julien and him knew each other from before. "I can't be pregnant" I whispered more to myself than to someone else. "I can't be" I mumbled as my eyes slowly moved to my belly. "The amount of time you've probably fuck, would prove otherwise" Julien muttered. I didn't want to focus on him. "I would like to apologize for the unprofessionalism of my colleagues. They were supposed to see that in your blood test" Matt said formally. The frown on his face showed that he was truly disappointed. "You're eight weeks pregnant. We will have to do an ultrasound" He continued. I stood up, then turned away from them before walking out of that office. I needed to breathed. I could hear Julien following me. The jingling of the car keys in his pocket was what caught my attention as he followed my steps He didn't talk at all as I made my way out of the hospital. He knew very well that I was to be left with my thoughts at this moment. I opened the passenger door and I was going to make a move to get in when I suddenly heard a familiar voice calling me out.Complete

"Bestie!?", he called. 'Don't talk to me, nigga. You make me sick', she hissed walking into her bedroom. "Bae, don't be like dat. You know that I was only looking out for your ass, girl", he said following behind her, grasping her by the arm pulling her body against his. 'Man, just leave me alone, Chris', she responded vehemently. "You mad at me", he stated leaning down placing a kiss to her forehead. 'Ya damn skippy', she agreed. He sighed, "What can I do to make it up to ya? You know I ain't sorry, but I don't like fa ya ass to be mad at me. You know I love you, right?", he asked. She did not say anything. "Right?", he asked, arms tightening around her. 'I guess, now let me go', she grumbled trying to unwind his arms from around her. He kissed his teeth, "You guess? Don't fuckin' play wit' me, Mor", he said staring down at her, nostrils flaring. If there was one thing he hated for sure it was when she doubted his love for her and she knew this. She rolled her eyes being done with this conversation.

Castle in the City
"You good, babe? You kinda seem a bit off today." "How so?" I asked, even though I knew the answer to that question. Damien answered, "Well you haven't been talking much, even when we were driving from the school and to your house, you've avoided eye contact with me, and you seem a bit nervous around me. I know you've been a bit sick last week, but I can't help but feel as if you're hiding something from me." I stared outside of my window as I sighed, "You're right, but I don't know how you'll react. I myself don't know how to react. I haven't told anyone." "About...?" Damien asked as he parked the car in front of a liquor store. I sighed, "Can we talk about this later?" Damien sighed before nodding and getting out the car. He then went into the liquor store and, after about ten minutes, came back with two bags with two bottles in each. He placed the bags in the trunk before getting in the driver's seat and staring at me. "What?" I asked shyly. "Are you pregnant?" Damien asked with a straight face while staring me into my eyes. I blushed, "What? Why would you think-" "Are you pregnant, City?" he asked again, and I looked away. *This story contains mature themes and contents. Read at your own risk*Complete
