Never Knew

Waking up to my phone going off , I rolled over to my night stand and grabbed it off the charger.

-"Hello?" I grumbled with my eyes still closed.

"I knew yo ass wasnt going to be up." Chris said sucking his teeth.

"What time is it?" I asked yawning.

"10"

"You on your way over?" I asked

"If you still wanna sleep. Ill come over later." He said burping in my ear.

"You're are so gross. But , Ill get ready now papa." I yawned throwing the covers off of me.

"Alright , bet." He said hanging up the phone .-"Asshole." I said under my breath

Standing up from my bed , I cracked my back and started getting ready.

Finishing my morning routine under 20 minutes , I was out the door and into Chris' car.

"Morning." I mumbled and leaned over to kiss his plump pink lips.

"Morning babe." He said pulling off.

"I just love ya lips." I chuckled

"I love yo' other lips too." He said looking over at me and winked .

"Man , shutup." I laughed

"How was your sleep?" I asked looking over at him.

"It was coo', what about yours?" He asked stopping at a red light.

"It was good. The best sleep I had in a while."

"Thats what good dick does for ya." He chuckled cockily.

"Why you so cocky for?" I laughed

"Shit , If my dick game strong . Why wouldnt I pump it up?" He asked

"Trueeeeeeeeeee." I dragged out

"Exactly." He laughed.

Pulling up in his parking space at his apartment . We both got out and started walking up the stairs to his apartment.

Chris unlocked his front door and he let me walk in first.

"Uhh , Chris. Its filthy in here."

"I know , Thats what I got you for." He came up behind me and kissed my cheek.

"Haha, You thought." I laughed sarcastically.

"Alright , I gotchu." He let me go and walked into the kitchen.

"You hungry, Thirsty?" He asked.

"Yeah , what you got?" I yelled out from the couch.

"I got them breakfast bowls that you put in the microwave." He called out from the kitchen.

"Yeah , make me one."

"Say no mo'." Chris said

"You still hurting from the fight?" He asked coming out from the kitchen.

"A lil bit , Im coo' though."

"So , About that text message." Chris said plopping down on the couch next to me.

"Oh my gosh , Its true huh?" I asked my eyes started to water instantly.

"No , no." He chuckled.

"I was going to ask , what did you respond?" He asked kicking his feet up on the coffee table.

"Oh , I didnt respond anything . I just deleted it." I shrugged.

"Why you react so fast , like Ill do some shit like that too you?" He asked

"I dont know honestly , I just been hurt so many times . So I just dont think shit through . And Im sorry about that . Im working on it." I said

The microwave beeped indicating my breakfast bowl was done.

"Ill get that." Chris mumbled under his breath.

Its so sad that I think that way . I dont try to . But its my instinct to expect the worse . Because thats what im used too . And thats fucked up. I shouldnt be stressing over petty shit.

"Here." Chris said handing me my food.

"Thank you." I mumbled

"Wanna watch a movie or sum'?" He asked

"Sure, Lets watch a lifetime movie or something."

"You pick then." He said handing me the remote.

Looking through the lifetime movies on On Demand , I settled on a movie that was about a 16 yr old girl getting abused by her boyfriend.

-

"Why you pick this sad shit?" Chris huffed after the police officer's found the girls body in the lake.

"I dont know." I said pouting my lip.

"This so sad babe." I continued cuddling into his chest.

"Aye nigga! Open the door!" Somebody banged on Chris' apartment door.

Chris jumped up and went to his room to grab his gun.

"Nigga who is it?!" Chris yelled walking up to the door.

"Nigga , let me in." The dude said from behind the door.

"Chris , who is it?" I panicked

Chris unlocked the door and tucked his gun in his waistband.

"Travis! My nigga!" Chris laughed and engulfed the strager into a hug.

"How you been fam'!" The dude Travis asked.

"I been good bro. When you get out here? I havent saw you in years."

"Yeah, Cuz yo bitch ass left." Travis said walking into the apartment and Chris closed the door.

"Chill with that bitch word nigga."

"ahh, shut up. Oh , my bad. Who dis?" Travis said looking at me.

"Travis this my girl Kayla. Kayla this is my blood brother Travis." Chris introduced us.

"Hi , Nice too meet you." I got up and shook his hand. Im surprised I never heard of him .

"Ohh , You aint with that clown ass bitch Jasmine no mo'!" Travis laughed .

"Hell nah , Fuck that bitch! Huh babe? My girl got on her ass the other day . "

"Forreal!? You beat that bitch ass Kayla!?" Travis asked hyped asf.

"I had too." I cheesed

"Thats wassup. So whats up bro? We need to catch up. I missed you , on some real shit." Travis spoke truthfully.

"I missed you to bruh." Chris said sitting next to me and Travis sitting on the love seat next to us.

"So what new with you? You still dealin'?"

"Yeah , fast money easy." Chris replied and I shook my head . Im totally against that.

"This is not the life I wanted for you lil bruh." Travis said running his hand down his face.

"I dont wanna hear that shit! Thats exactly why I left! You and mama down my back and shit!"

"Wanna know why?! Cuz' ion want another brother dead! This shit aint a game!" Travis yelled

I was shocked , It seems like I really dont know who Chris is. He never told me no shit like this.

"Man , fuck all that you speaking. Ima do me. If you ont' like it. Fucking leave." Chris shrugged.

Travis laughed "It looks like I cant get this shit through yo' thick skull."

"Cuz Ion give a fuck," Chris said

I looked over at him with my mouth wide open. Hes being so disrespectful.

"I just dont wanna burry my lil brother. Do you not care that Marcus died to this shit?" Travis asked

"Bruh , Ion wanna hear this shit. You can make yo way out my house." Chris said getting up and walking to his room and slamming the door.

We were in silence for a couple seconds.

"Im sorry hes acting this way." I mumbled

"He always has . Its nothing new." Travis said

"But im out. Im sorry you had to hear all this shit."

"Its okay, It was nice meeting you." I said softly.

"You too." He spoke back and walked out the front door.

I got up and locked the front door and made my way towards Chris' room.

I knocked lightly and waited for his response.

"Come in." He grumbled

When I walked in he was on his phone.

I shut the door and walked to his bed and sat at the end.

"So what was that?" I asked softly

"I dont wanna talk about it." He grumbled. He was angry.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, So just drop it."

I climbed up the bed and laid next to him.

I took his phone and set it on the nightstand beside me. After , I pulled him on to my chest and cuddled him. Then he started to cry , I felt his tears on my shirt.

"I miss my brother man." He sniffled and held me tighter.

"They took him away from me." He continued to cry

"Aww , babe. Im so sorry." I said and kissed his forehead.

Chris continued to cry and it was breaking me inside. I never saw him so broken before.
