Khadijah

I hopped into the car watching Trey as he made his way to the driver's side. He got in and waited for Korie and Mo to come out, but he never said a word to me. Even when he came in and they released me, he just looked at me and turned around.

"Trey I'm sor-"

He cut me off by holding his hand up and returned to doing whatever on his phone. I looked at him like he was crazy and let out a frustrated sigh as Korie came walking out ahead of Mo. Looks like she's getting the silent treatment too.

When they got in, Trey started the car and pulled off, still not speaking, so to cover the awkwardness, I turned on the radio.

"Okay y'all we throwing it allllll the way back with this next one right here, so turn ya radios up, and vibe out with us here at hot 104.1, ya favorite radio station!"

The intro to the song started and I sat back in my seat relaxing.

"I'm steady tryna find a motive,
Why do what I do?,
Freedom ain't gettin' no closer,
No matter how far I go,
My car is stolen, no registration,
Cops patrollin', and now they done stop me,
And I get locked up,
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (I'm locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wo-"

I shot up and turned the radio off. I couldn't believe this song was playing right at this moment, I'm pretty sure that only made the situation worse.

"Aye you hungry?" Trey said.

"Yes I'm starvi-" I started but was cut off by Trey.

"I ain't talkin' to you." He cut his eyes at me. "Korie, you hungry?"

"Yea stop at this Wendy's up here."

I sat there with my mouth wide open, was he really about to be this petty? He actin' like I really killed the lady! The gun was just to scare her a lil bit, shit I don't even know how to shoot a damn gun.

We pulled up going through the drive through and Trey placed an order along with Korie, and they never asked me or Mo if we wanted anything.

I crossed my arms and closed my eyes, because if he was gonna act like this then I just won't deal with it.

"Hey, twenty-six forty-nine is your total." The girl at the window smiled.

"Here you go." He gave her forty dollars and told her to keep the change.

"I appreciate it a lot, but we not allowed to take tips." She grinned.

"Shhh, who gave you a tip." He winked.

She laughed and slipped the money in her pocket while biting her lip. "Handsome and sweet." She winked back.

"So you about to sit here and flirt with this girl in my face!?" I yelled.

"Calm down, ain't nob-"

"Shut the fuck up!" I spat cutting him off. "Gimme my damn change!" I yelled in the window to the girl.

The flirtatious smile that was on her face was wiped clean and replaced with fear as she dug into her pockets pulling out the money.

She handed it back to Trey and he threw it in the cup holder. She handed him the food and quickly closed the window.

"Trey I know you ordered me that food and not you." I said raising my eyebrow.

"Nah, I didn't. They ain't give you no food when you was in the pen?" He scrunched his eyebrows and handed Korie his food and they both started eating.

I wanted so badly to snatch that food out his hand and throw it out the window. Tears threatened to fall but I held them in because honestly, I didn't even know why I was crying.

Thirty five minutes later we pulled up at Korie's house, and he got out the car dapping Trey and walking around the car. He stopped once he noticed Mo wasn't getting out.

"Come on what you waitin' on!" He snapped.

"Imma go to Dijah's house." She whispered.

"No the hell you ain't, you takin' yo ass right in that house cause we need to talk." He said sternly.

"You ain't been talkin' to me, but now all of a sudden we gotta talk? Fuck outta here." She said.

"Monique, you have three seconds to get out that car."

She still didn't move.

"3, 2, 1." He said but she still didn't budge. "Ight cool?" He turned walking towards the door.

"Ugggggghhhh." She said hopping out and walking towards the house.

She knew she was goin'.

Once they made it in the house, Trey pulled off into the direction of our house.

"Trey."

He didn't say anything but turned the radio up drowning me out.

-

I locked the door and kicked my shoes off, going straight to the refrigerator to see what I could eat. Once I opened it I was met with a whole lot of nothing. We haven't been grocery shopping in so long and we usually just eat out but I was starving.

I heard Trey going upstairs so I decided to follow him.

I walked in the room and saw him on the bed doing something on his phone.

"Stop ignoring me and talk to me Trey!" I threw a pillow at him.

He looked at me, tossed the pillow to the side, and returned to his phone.

"I'm hungry, I haven't eaten all day! The baby's hungry too!" I whined.

"Don't say shit to me about the baby! You wasn't thinkin' about the baby when you went to that damn rehab center wit' a fuckin' gun now was you?!" I flinched at his loud voice.

"I wasn't going to shoot her." I said softly.

"Dijah shut up Ight? Cause you only pissin' me off more, real talk."

I sat down on the bed and played with my fingers, hoping he'd say something else because I didn't know what to say.

After ten minutes of him on his phone and me sitting there I spoke again.

"I'm really sorry Trey. I am, I know how dangerous that was, I just wasn't thinking. I wanted some closure, because it seems like my past just keeps haunting me and I just want it to end." I whispered on the verge of tears.

He didn't say anything. Again. I felt stupid.

The tears that I'd been holding back had finally escaped and glided down my cheeks. Once I realized I was crying, I quickly got up and walked out of the room sniffing. I ran down the steps and grabbed the keys, about to grab the door handle, but I was pulled back and turned around.

Trey looked at me as I cried and he pulled me close hugging me.

"Come'er, why you cryin'?"

"Because you're mad at me and I said I'm sorry." I sobbed and took a breath. "You're not even listening to me!" I cried harder. "And I'm hungry!" By now I was in full blown tears.

He rubbed my back and kissed my forehead making me calm down a little.

"You know I don't like seeing you cry so cut it out," he grabbed my face and kissed my tears away, "I'm sorry."

I laid my head on his chest and tightly held on to him, taking in his cologne.

"Baby, you gotta understand that you not just makin' decisions for you now. You have a baby in there," he rubbed my stomach, "our baby. You know I'll die trying to protect you, but I can't if you don't let me know wassup, or where you goin'. Anything could've happened to you and I wouldn't have had a clue cause whole time, I'm thinking you at the mall."

I nodded my head still holding on to him.

"I'm sorry for hurting yo feelings baby, I was bein' petty. You forgive me?" He pulled my face up and kissed my lips.

"Yes." I smiled and kissed him again but this time with more tongue and passion.

"Let's go get you some food." He pulled back and patted my butt.

"One more kiss." He pecked my lips and I looked at him like he was crazy.

"No a good kiss." I whined.

He kissed me, biting my lip and choking me a little, which he knew was a turn on.

"Ight, come on."

"I'm not hungry no more, I want something else." I pulled at his sweat pants.

"Later," he chuckled, "you need to feed my baby."

"Oh you don't want to give me any but you was flirtin' mad hard with shorty from Wendy's." I rolled my eyes.

"Baby you know I only did that to make you mad, it worked didn't it." He smirked.

I pouted and crossed my arms turning towards the door.

"I see them hormones kickin' yo ass." He said laughing while following me to the car.

Monique

We've been home for three hours and Korie still hasn't said a word to me. As soon as we got in the house, he went to the room and shut the door.

After I made me some food I went to the living room and watched tv, but now I was tired and ready for bed.

I went and put my plate in the sink along with the other dishes and ran some dish water. I swept the floor and cleaned the table off and then washed the dishes.

I cut all the lights off downstairs and headed up to the room.

What the? I tried to twist the handle on the door but it was locked.

"Really?" I hit the door with the palm of my hand, but he never opened it.

I walked away and pulled a dry towel and face towel from the hall closet. I went into the guest room down the hall and found a big t shirt in the dresser and laid it out on the bed that had no sheets or covers.

Great, no underwear now I'm gonna catch pneumonia in my pussy.

I went into the bathroom and started the shower, finding some soap under the sink and some shampoo and conditioner.

After a thirty minute shower and washing my hair, I got out and wrapped the towel around me. Just as I was about to walk out of the bathroom door, I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror. I wiped the fog off of the glass and stared at my reflection.

"You'll never be shit without me! You'll find yourself
in a world of trouble and misery, and who you think gone want ya ass then? Who you think gone marry you? You're a troublesome WHORE, it's all you'll ever be, TROUBLE!"

The words of my old pimp played in my head when I told him I was better than bein' some two dollar hoe, and I wanted to get out of the business he was running.

A tear made its way down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away. I walked into the room and threw on the big t shirt, putting on the lotion I had in my purse.

"I need some covers, it's too fuckin' cold in here." I said to myself.

I walked out the room and to the hall closet to find nothing but towels and tissue. I walked to Lyric's room but I remembered her doors get locked when she's not here because sometimes Korie's friends comes over and he likes everything locked up.

I walked back to the guest room and shut the door, I turned the light out and crawled in the bed, putting my arms inside the shirt and pulling it over my knees, balling myself up.

Laying here alone in this cold bed brought back the feeling I used to have when I'd lay in the cold bed after some random men just had their way with me. I felt worthless and depressed, it took me back to that place. And as much as I wanted to hold my tears in, I couldn't, they came spewing out and I couldn't control them. I tried to suppress my sobs and sniffs but it was like a hurt that needed to be released. I cried for the next two hours until sleep finally took over.

Korie

I looked over at the clock on my nightstand and it read 3:28 a.m. I stepped out of the bed and slid into my Gucci slides, and walked to the door forgetting it was even locked. I meant to unlock it but I ended up falling asleep.

I made my way down the hallway and to the guest room door, listening to see if she was up. I didn't hear anything so I slowly opened it and cut the light on.

"Damn." I looked at her with this big ass t shirt on all balled up.

It was cold as fuck in here, I know she freezing. I stepped closer to the bed to get a better look at her, and I noticed dried up tears on her face.

I sat on the bed and put my head in my hands, how could I let my feelings get to me like that? I wasn't that mad at Mo and Dijah, but more so at the situation they were in. Dijah should've never been there with the condition she's in, and Mo should've stopped her instead of tagging along. I was mad that I wasn't there to protect the women I love and care for. As a brother and boyfriend I'm supposed to be there when times are tough, and the fact that Mo didn't call me when she had the opportunity really hurt me.

I turned around and put my hand on her thigh, feeling how cold she was. I tapped her hoping she'd wake up, but she didn't.

I turned around in the bed and laid down with her, rubbing her bare ass since she didn't have any underwear on. I placed a kiss on her lips, and her cheek and she still didn't move.

"Babyyyy." I cooed. "Baby, get up it's cold in here." I rubbed up and down her side."

"Stop! Stop! Please." She jumped up beginning to cry . "Please don't make me." She whispered with tears still falling realizing it was me.

"Come over here baby, aww I'm so sorry boo." I reached out for her as she climbed over to me and straddled my lap resting her head in the crook of my neck.

I rubbed her back and kissed her shoulder as I held my eyes closed. I knew why she jumped up like that and now I knew why she had tear stains on her face.

"Korie, I'm sorry. I should've called you, but I just don't want you to think I'm a trouble maker and I don't want you to think any differently of me." She cried some more.

"Shhhhh calm down mama. You aight, and why would I think differently of you?" I lifted her face up so I could look in her eyes.

"Because that's what I was told...the same person who broke me down so many years ago is still getting to me. He told me I'd never be shit without him and I was nothing but a trouble maker and no one will want to marry or spend their life with a troubling whore like me." More tears fell as she stared behind me as if she was in a trance.

I clenched my jaws thinking about everything she went through, and that nigga that told her that. This is why women close up and grow a hard shell that's hard to get through, because a muhfucka will break them to pieces and then they finally build themselves back up, and another nigga comes around and fucks it up again. And right now that other nigga is me.

"Baby, look at me." She looked up at me with those big brown eyes. "I fucked up, okay? I fucked up and I'm sorry. I ain't never met nobody like you, after all you went through, a random person would never know because you don't wear that hurt. I love you, I'm always here for you, I wanna marry you one day. You make me feel good inside every time I'm around you, and we ain't even had sex yet. You just really don't know." I laughed a little rubbing her butt. "Ion wanna fuck this up, I can't fuck this up, and I won't. I need you in my life forever, my daughter loves you, my sister loves you, and you the girl of my dreams." I kissed her lips. "You're my queen," I kissed her again, "you're beautiful," another kiss, "you perfect to and for me." I made the last kiss passionate finishing with a lip bite.

"Awwww, that was so cute babe." She pouted and wiped her eyes.

"Baby, cute is for girls." I started tickling her and flipped her over on the bed.

She laughed uncontrollably as she tried to push me off of her.

Her shirt rose up and exposed her pretty pussy and I instantly licked my lips and looked at her through my hooded eyes. She looked nervous and pulled her shirt down covering up, she covers her body up a lot when I'm around.

"Why you always do that?"

"Because... I don't know." She spoke lowly.

"You insecure about ya body? Cause you shouldn't be, you bangin', best body I ever seen. You ain't gotta cover up mama, cause I seen it, I drool over that body." I bit my lip and she blushed.

I got down on the side of the bed and pulled her body to the edge. I breathed over her pussy making her gasp and try to close her legs but I quickly separated them again. I kissed the inside of her thighs and sucked on them, leaving hickeys trailing to her pussy.

She moaned and ran her fingers through her hair as she looked at me with low eyes.

I placed a kiss on her lower lips before I ran my tongue up the slit making her jump. I repeated the process three more times before I began eating her like my last meal.

"Ahhhhh, Korie please! Oh my goddddd!" She tried to scoot away.

I quickly yanked her back to me and continued sucking and licking making her moan like crazy which turned me on.

"It's so sweet girl." I said with my face still in it.

I guess the vibrations of my voice felt good because she tried closing her legs as she screamed, locking my head in between but that's just how I liked it.

I licked my middle finger and stuck it inside of her making her grip my head. I dug deep inside her as I softly nibbled on her clit, circling it with my tongue.

"Shittttt!" She moaned and thrusted her hips up.

I held her up by her ass and stuck my tongue in her pussy flicking it back and forth. I used my hand to massage her clit. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she began shaking.

"K-korieeeee!" She screamed as she came.

I sucked all of her sweet juices up and kissed her all the way up to her lips making her taste herself. She grabbed the sides of my face and sucked my lips while still moaning.

"I want you." She whispered on my lips.

I looked down at her and stared in her eyes as she stared back in mine. I ain't never wanted something so bad.

She wrapped her legs around me as I laid in between them. I picked her up as she wrapped her arms around my neck, and I carried her to our room.

I laid her on the bed and as she looked at me and slowly pulled her shirt over her head leaving her completely naked. Her breasts were the perfect size and the way she looked at me instantly made my dick throb.

I pulled my shirt over my head and tossed it to the side, then I slid my basketball shorts and underwear off.

Her eyes bucked when she got a look at my hard dick standing at attention. She slowly looked my body up and down like she was mesmerized which made me smirk as I walked closer to the bed. I climbed in and laid on top of her, passionately kissing her and gripping her neck.

Her moans slipped out every other second as she reached down and rubbed her hand up and down on my dick. Her soft hands felt so good on it and I hadn't had any in so long so I had to grab her hand and stop her. She giggled as she kissed me knowing why I moved her hand. But I quickly turned her giggles to loud moans when grabbed her neck and put my fingers inside her.

"Stop teasing." She managed to get out.

I leaned up and grabbed my never opened box of condoms out the drawer and pulled one out. She took it from me got out the bed and pushed me down. As I laid back I looked at her thinking she was about to put the condom on my dick, but she grabbed a ponytail holder and through her hair up in a messy bun. I know she not about to do what I think she about to do. I thought to myself.

Once she got her hair how she wanted it, she placed the condom on the bed and then she crawled in. She looked at me and bit her bottom lip before bending down kissing my tip. She stuck her tongue out and swirled it around the head before covering it with her mouth. It was so warm and felt so good that she made my toes curl. She bobbed her head up and down and every few bobs she would take more into her mouth.

"Shit!" I grabbed her bun and guided her how I wanted her to do it.

I was close to nutting so I leaned up more with my hand still around her bun, she went all the way down on my dick and shocked the hell out of
