"Ok I'm sorry ma ma" I wasn't really but I knew she didn't like me talking about what I used to do.

"Ok I'm taking a nap bye" "bye" she hung up and I sighed, I knew she wasn't bout to take no fucking nap. She been off for two days now, and I don't know what's wrong.

I stood up grabbing my keys. "Ight I'm heading out Nyella" "ok tell Malai I said hi" "how you know I'm even going over there?" "Cause I do now shoo."

I walked out the door going straight to my car to turn on some type of air. It's hot as fuck right now.

I pulled up to Malai house getting out the car. She gave me a key to her house a couple of weeks ago so I used that. All the lights where off in her house except the one in her kitchen.

I walked to her room and heard her little sad music playing, or her calming music as she put it. I walked in and seen she was in fact asleep.

She had dried up tear streaks on her face. "Malai" she sat up fast like I was killing her or something. "Oh. You scared me Harlem" she laid back down. "What's wrong?" I took off my shoes and set my stuff down on her dresser.

I walked towards her bed laying beside her scooting her closer to me. Her head rested on my shoulder as she played with my fingers.

"I've just been thinking about that day more that's all" I hated that I wasn't there when that all went down. It was to late by the time I already found out, all I could do was kill that nigga.

How could he use the lords name to do stuff like that to other women? How could you even be a pastor after that? It didn't make sense to me.

"He gone ma ma why you still thinking bout that?" "I don't know." She said quietly. I placed her on top of me not caring and she laid her head on my chest. Her body shook and I knew she way crying.

"I just feel so disgusting, I can't get what happened out of my head! I just want it all to go away Harlem." "It will ma ma I promise it will get better you so strong, I'm so proud of you Malai please look at me beautiful."

I lifted her head up wiping her tears away. "I don't wanna be strong no more Harlem." "You don't got to be then I'll be strong for you, have you ate? I'll make you something little like soup."

"I'm not hungry" I just nodded rubbing her back. "You wanna just sleep?" "Mhm" "ight let me go take a quick shower."

By now we both had clothes at each other houses, since where always over at each others place. She nodded and laid back down the blanket going over her as she watched me get up.

I grabbed my clothes out of her dresser heading into the bathroom and taking a quick shower, I'd dint want to leave her in her thoughts.

I got out drying off and throwing on my basketball shorts and a tank top.

"Malai Cmere you to far away ma ma" I pulled her closer to me, she was basically on top of me. I turned on descendants for her.

She rubbed my face as she watched the show and I completely relaxed. "I'm so mad Cameron is dead" I hummed listening to what she was saying going on a rant.

"Thank you for being here for me Harlem" "I'm always gon be here ma ma" we stared at each other and she looked away smiling. Yeah she definitely knows what she doing.

She ended up going to sleep and I stood up shaking my head and walking into her kitchen.
