The Way It Is (Way Too Deep Sequel)

Chapter 45

Fuck.

"Who are you choosing?"

He undid her bra, slowly sliding it off her body while placing sloppy wet kisses on her collarbone and the top of her shoulder.

Why do I have to choose? It's not my decision. Not my business.

"Don't make me do that." She whispered.

"I love you soo much. So fucking much."

"Prove it." Said before pulling away and walking towards the bed.

✨✨✨

Akashaa laid with her head on Jah's chest, listening to him breathe. She was tired out and obviously knew he was too. Rubbing up and down his chest she couldn't help but to think back on the questions he asked her.

Why do I have to choose?

She loved King and Jahvon so how was she supposed to make that decision? How was he expecting her to make it? Why did he want her too?

She blamed King overall . Out of all the damn people in the world you choose to steal from your brother? That shit was disheartening to hear because wow. Not you.

Either way she knew where Jah was going to take it but the thought made her stomach turn. How could he look him in the face and act like everything is cool and do some crazy shit?

Jahvon's phone started vibrating on the night stand table. Peaking over , she could see that King was calling him.

Looking back at Jahvon, he was still sleeping peacefully. Why disturb his sleep? Being careful to not wake him, she climbed out of the bed , picking up the phone.

Walking downstairs, she answered.

"Hello?"

"Akashaa? You out there?" He asked.

"Yeah. You're ready to talk?"

It was silent before he answered. "I don't know. I don't know what to say."

"The truth. Why you did the bullshit in the first place."

"Hmm. This shits going to cost me my life. If he had answered..."

"What did you call for King? Really."

"To beg for my life."

"You know how that looks?"

He chuckled before answering. "Yeah. I'm waisting my time I think."

"I miss you though. How've you been ? How's baby girl?"

"She's doing real good. Walking good too. We're working on her numbers."

"That's good. You ain't say that shit back."

"I do miss you King. I just can't understand what you're doing. Why?"

"I told you why."

"No you gave me a bullshit answer as to why. Like what's up for real?" She asked.

It was silent.

"Devonte?"

"I'm sorry. For everything. For hurting you. For not believing you. Not being man enough to express my feelings to you properly..."

"King..."

"Let me finish. I love you and my love for you goes beyond words. If things were different , you would be mine. I fucked up with you in the beginning but I feel like Jah is better off for you."

"I love you too." She whispered.

She couldn't help the tears that fell because where was all this coming from? They had talks, way before, about how good they'd be together but he was right. Jah was better. Is better.

"You still didn't answer my question."

"I don't have a real reason. I don't understand it myself." He answered honestly

"You gotta come with something better than that if you trynna talk to Jah. If I'm being honest, I think you hurt him."

"Possibly. I can't take that back though."

Groaning, Akashaa threw her head back. Fuck.

"Can I see you when you come back? I do really miss being in your presence.

"And you gon miss this shit even more." She thought.

"Yeah, sure. You gon be okay?"

"Is who gon be okay?" Akashaa heard come from behind her.

Seeing Jah looking at her crazy made her hurry up and turn around. Silently cursing herself, she blew out a breath. She knew that he had to know that she was on his phone.

"Hello? Everything alright? Is who gon be okay?" He asked again.

Jah was starting to get worried but then started getting curious. Not that it mattered that she was on his phone but who exactly was she talking to?

"I gotta go." She said before hanging up and turning around.

Handing him back his phone, he quickly looked at the call log. A wave of emotions came over him. Shocked that he actually received a call from King. Mad as fuck that he was calling him. He wanted to speak but not so soon ?

He didn't even know how to approach him without putting his hands on him. Causing any harm to him would prove satisfaction but that wasn't it.

He looked over at Akashaa who was now making her way into the living room. Fuck?

"He said he wanted to talk to you himself but you were sleeping and I didn't want to disturb you. And honestly, I don't want to be around for yall conversation."

"I don't want you around for that shit either." He responded coldly.

That made her scared. King was grown and could handle himself but what was going to happen to him ?

"Noted."
