Her Past to His Future

The Conversation

"Hello?", Malachai said picking the phone. My heart dropped down to my ass with the quickness. "Hey", I said to him in return softly. "Hi, beautiful", his tone is so soft with me. "Can you come over", I asked him expecting to him to say no since I've been avoiding him since last night. "I'm on the way", he said with no hesitation. "Okay, see you in a few", I said to him

"There.. I called him", I said to them with a sigh as I put my face into my palms
"Don't do anything stupid okay? Just talk to that man and stop being so fucking stubborn", Jas said to me firmly
"Okay okaaayy", I said tearing up
"No.. no.. we are not about to do that. Get it together", Oaklyn said to her
"You look at me.. look at me Cammy", Jas said to me as I looked at her. "Do not drive this man away because of your past. So far, he has not done anything wrong. Just give him a chance babygirl please?", She said
"Okay", I nodded

25 minutes had rolled by and there was a knock on the door. I took a deep breath, and got up to get the door. I opened it and smiled softly. I looked up at him into his eyes and walked up to him to give him a hug. Ohhh the smell of this man is just soooo amazing. He embraced me tightly and I just know he didn't want to let me go. We pulled away and I grabbed his hand to walk into the house.

"Hey guys this is Malachai, Malachai this is Oaklyn my sister and Jasminae my best friend", I said with a soft smile
"Good afternoon ladies", Malachai said
"Oooh he's cutee", Oaklyn smiled and waved at him
"I don't like em!", Jas said loudly
"Jassy!", I said widened eyes
"I'm joking I'm joking", Jas laughed

Everyone laughed, and shook their heads. I playfully rolled my eyes, being that that was a way to break the ice. I took him upstairs and walked into my room, closing and locking it behind me.

"You can sit on the bed", I said to him
"How are you?", he asked as he sat down on my bed
"I'm okay", I sighed as I sat down onto the bed
"No you're not... you called me over here just to say that you're okay knowing that you're not?", he said looking at me with his head tilted
"Chi...", I said softly
"No... talk to me and I'm not leaving until you do. We'll sit here all day until you speak up", he said to me firmly

I sat there quiet for a second, playing with my hands as I looked down. He just stared at me, waiting for me to say something, anything. It was obvious he couldn't take it no more. He lifted my face up to his, as we stared into each other's eyes. I took a deep breath and finally just spoke up.

"I'm sorry.. I just honestly didn't know how to feel or react correctly within the situation. The night went so well until he showed up. I honestly have been running away from my past for years and he always seems to pop up to ruin everything. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. It wasn't my intentions, I was selfish and did not think about you in the situation at all. I'm sorry", I admitted genuinely
"You do know that, I'm not that guy right? We've been talking for a few weeks since the club. I would not purposely hurt you, nor would I ever try to hurt you by accident. I have enjoyed getting to know you and I want us to continue going but you have to let me. I refuse to just let this go so easily. You've been hurt in the past and I can see that, but do not hurt me because of what the last nigga did to you. I'm not them, so don't treat me like it. Okay?" He poured out
"Okay..", I nodded my head as I looked down at my hands
"Look at me", his voice sounded off sweetly and gentle as he lifted my hand back up with the side of his finger. "Give me a chance to show you how I could change your perspective on love"
"Okay", I responded to him softly
"Now, what do you have planned for the rest of the day?", he asked me as if he had something planned
"Nothing, just chilling with my sister and best friend", I responded
"Okay, well if you're up to it. We could have a game night. You could bring your sisters", he suggested
"I can ask them orrrrr you could ask them", I suggested
"You know what, I will do that. Cmon let's go downstairs", he said standing up and reaching out for my hand

I smiled and grabbed his hand. He helped me up from my bed and led me downstairs. He announced that he was getting ready to go and asked them if they wanted to come to his house for a game. Of course they said yea, my girls never turn down a good time especially since he got cute friends. I shook my head at their antics and walked him out to his car.

"Thank you for coming again", I said to him
"No problem beautiful. Don't forget what I said", he said to me
"I won't... See you later?", I responded to him
"See you later mamas, I'll send you the location", he kissed my cheek and got into the car. I walked back to my front door and walked inside. After hearing him drive off, I closed and locked the door then leaned my head onto the door. I couldn't help but smile. I could just feel them staring at me. I suddenly cut my eyes at them.
"What?", I asked as the moment to myself was short lived
"You so cute", Oaklyn said
"Keep it that way", Jas said glaring at me
"I will, we talked and everything is good now", I nodded with a smile
"Good", they both said

The girls and I decided to sit and chill for a few hours. The game night didn't start until 8:00, so by the time we started getting ready it was 7:00. I got dressed into a mocha brown halter ribbed one piece with fresh white Nike tube socks and my pink, grey and brown high top Nikes. Once I was satisfied with my outfit, I put on a silver necklace and a matching bracelet. I pulled my hair into a messy bun, and laid my baby hairs. Jasminae came into my room, I just knew she was gonna say something about my outfit. "Ooh! Excuse me, I don't have to fix your fit. You look cute and thick", she said to me with a smile. Surprised I actually got it right this time, she be on my ass I swear. I thanked her and started taking pictures in my mirror. Once everyone was dressed and ready to go, we left out of the house and headed to Malachai's. Everyone got into my 2024 White Chevy Camaro 1SS. I texted Chi and told him that I would be there in about 20 minutes.
