“Law, leave her alone. Go get me some coffee from downstairs.”
“Why are you making me leave her? She needs me here.”
“Boy, you act like you going out of town to get the damn coffee. Go get me some damn coffee and come back.”
I wanted to laugh at them but I didn’t want to give myself away. Law ended up leaving with an attitude but I’m sure he was going to the cafeteria which was only two floors down.
“Summer, you can get your ass up now. You ain’t fooling nobody but him.” I peeked, and his mama was standing right over me. “Get your ass up.”
“I don’t want him here.”
“His ass ain’t leaving so either talk to him or keep dealing with him leaning over your ass with that hot ass breath.”
“Why you always making us talk. There is nothing to talk about Ms. Mae. He cheated after telling me he wasn’t messing with that girl anymore. He could’ve been truthful and told me he wasn’t done with her before he forced his way back in my life.”
Law walked back in the room with his mama’s coffee, and if I could get out of bed and slap the hell out of him, it would have made me feel better. My body was so heavy that I could barely lift my arm up.
“Give me my coffee and I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Ms. Mae exited the room and left me and Law just staring at each other.
“Summer, I’m sorry. All this shit is my fault. Maybe I’m the problem.”
“Law, I don’t think I can look at you the same. Can we just raise our daughter together and not be a couple? You clearly are not over her, and I’m not about to worry myself every time you walk out the door.”
“I am over her, and I’m not leaving you. I could have lost you and my daughter yesterday. Your blood pressure was so high that they were about to deliver her and her chances of making it was slim but somehow your pressure started coming down right as they were prepping you.”
“I can’t discuss this with you right now because it’s only going to make my head hurt and my pressure go back up. When I get home, we can talk about our living arrangements and shit then.”
“Fuck you mean, Summer?”
“Just like I said. I don’t want you anymore. You are always bringing up me being insecure and shit, but forget that you are playing a role in my insecurities. I can’t go nowhere without hearing someone talking about this bitch being with you.”
“I went to break that shit off with her and–”
“And your dick ended up in her mouth. Next time, maybe your facetime won’t answer where your baby mama can hear everything going on in the car.” I rolled my eyes and turned my back to him.
Law released a frustrated breath before he went and sat down on the sofa. There was nothing else for us to talk about. I had my own shit I had to deal with and worrying about a relationship was not on the list.
“Can you put me the fuck down?” I squirmed out of Law’s arms. He tried to carry me in the house like I couldn’t walk.
“I was just trying to help.”
“No, what you’re doing is getting on my damn nerves. You acting just like a nigga that got caught cheating. Being extra as fuck. Now put me the fuck down.”
“I’m not about to fucking argue with you today because I’m sick of sleeping on that plastic ass sofa at the hospital. Go take your ass upstairs and lay down, and I’ll get you something to eat.”
“Leave me the fuck alone. I’m not on bedrest.”
“Summer, go lay the fuck down because if you have my baby early, I’m gon’ beat the fuck out of you.”
I stood right in his face and stared him down. His fine ass made my panties so moist but the thought of him still fucking with Pinkie turned my stomach and then the tears started forming. Law grabbed my face and tried to kiss me but I turned my head.
“Baby, that was it. I feel weak as fuck but I haven’t fucked with that girl. I’m being honest. What else you want from me? You got my heart. She was just a fuck while you were out there having your fun.”
“How do I know you won’t fall weak again? She’s obviously doing something you like.”
“I’m giving you my word.”
“You gave me your word before, but we know that don’t mean shit. Leave me the fuck alone.” I walked away from him and went to our room.
