DETERMINATION | Book One

C H A P T E R 11

She was really annoyed because she told everyone she was going to be busy tonight so whoever was at the door clearly didn't get the memo and was fucking up her plans.

Unlocking the door she swung it open and instantly rolled her eyes when she saw Reggie standing there holding her son who slept peacefully in his arms. "What's wrong?" She asked already knowing he was about to come up with some excuse.

"He woke up crying for you and I couldn't get him back to sleep so I brought him here."

"Looks like he's sleeping now unless he faking."

Not liking her tone, he knew he had interrupted something which he hope he did. "Did I interupt something?"

"I told you I was going to be busy tonight so what do you think?"

"Not my fault our son wanted his mother, may I come in? I'll bring him up to his room and I'll leave."

Sighing she stepped to the side letting him step in. He took a look around seeing her clothes were scattered around the living room and it smelled as if she just sprayed so he figured she was having sex.

Walking up the stairs he went into his son room laying his small body in the bed kissed his forehead then went to leave out. Cali sat downstairs pissed, she knew what Reggie was up too and she felt it was childish and stupid.

Cali was the type to not have sex around her child, she just hasn't gotten to that point to where she's comfortable doing it and Reggie knew that.

When he walked down the stairs he smiled, "He's in bed,"

"I know what you're doing and its real childish Reg,"

Smiling he clasped his hands together. "What exactly am I doing since you know so much.."

Chuckling to herself she shook her head. "You don't want me to move on so you make these unneccessary ass trips over here just to keep tabs ..you're not slick at all."

"You're saying our son is unneccessary now?"

"Really? You really tryna take it there? The minute I finally fucking move on and start having a little fun you start buggin'.. and for what? You can't stand to see me with another man other than you? It's been two years oh fuckin' well buddy. It's damn near midnight why aren't you in bed with you're fiancé? Why when its my week to get a break you just have to make a trip over here?"

When he didn't say anything she rolled her eyes grabbing him by his arm and shoved him out her house. "You're really pathetic honestly, good night Reg,"

Slamming the door she placed her hand on her forehead as she made her way upstairs. Walking into her room Ahmad laid under the sheets still naked, he glanced over at her frowning at the look on her face. "You good?"

She nodded. "I'm fine, Marquette is home though so we have to cut our night short." She mumbled.

Biting his lip he nodded, getting out of the bed he went to grab his clothes throwing on his shirt and pants a little bummed out he had to leave but he understood.

She told him anytime her son was home he had to go because she did not want him seeing a random man leave her home and confuse him until she knew for sure her and Ahmad or whoever were serious.

Once he was dressed, he walked towards her wrapping his arms around her waist then kissed her lips softly at first, what started off as a few pecks turned into a little more so they had to pull away before they got carried away. "I'll call you," He told her leaving out her room.

"Okay, drive safe please."

Walking out her front door, he walked over to his truck getting inside just as his phone started ringing, pulling it out his pocket he saw it was Nia calling and pressed ignore damn sho' not in the mood for her shit today.

Dialing Cali number instead he started his car and pulled out of her driveway. "I didn't think you were gonna call this fast." She laughed on the other end.

"I started missing you already," He smirked.

"Oh that's real cute, you miss me or what I've been giving your needy ass for the past two weeks?"

"Both, and you bet not be letting no other nigga dip innat either, I'm claiming it , that pussy mines."

As the line got quiet he pulled the phone away from his ear wondering if she hung up. "Hello?"

"I'm here .. just don't say stuff like that especially since you know I'm still horny." She whined.

Chuckling, he stopped at a stop sign looked both ways then pulled off. "My bad ma', I was just letting you know."

"Hmm, bring me lunch tomorrow?"

"What I look like a delivery boy?"

"You deliver dick very well so yeah I have to say yes,"

Shaking his head he just smiled as he cruised down the roads taking the short cuts to his condo. "You nasty but alright whatchu want?"

"Surprise me.."

"Hm I'll surprise you alright."

Frowning she sat up in her bed, "And what is that suppose to mean?"

"Don't worry about all that, you'll see tomorrow."

The rest of the way to his condo the two just flirted on the phone, talking about whatever came to mind as usual.

He really fell in love with talking to her cause he could be himself around her. Even though he was still battling with his own personal issues, she was like that breath of fresh air for him and vice versa.

When he arrived home he was now on facetime with her, walking up the stairs he fetched for his keys then stuck them in the door unlocking it.

Stepping inside he saw Amira and her friend Imani sitting on the floor of his living room watching tv. "What y'all ugly asses still doing up?"

"It's Friday, not a school night so we staying up."

Shrugging his shoulders he continued his journey to his room immediately grabbing his pills, putting her on pause and mute he took four then shoved the bottle of pills in his bottom drawer.

A few days after he stopped taking them his body started feenin' for them, even though he thought he could go without them, mentally he wasn't there yet so he had to start back taking them.

In the living room Amira and Imani watched House Party 2 eating popcorn and other snacks. "You think your brother will let you go to that party tomorrow Zack is having?"

Laughing, she shook her head. "Nope,"

"Why not?"

"You clearly don't know my brother, he is not my parents .. he's strict but I'm cool with that cause I don't like partying anyways."

Shoving her shoulder she whined. "Girl come on, Twan is gonna be there,"

Looking up from her bowl of popcorn, she glanced at her friend. "How do you know?"

"Um hello, he is bestfriends with my dude they tell each other everything."

"He didn't even tell me he was going to the party." Amira mumbled.

"See that gives you even more reason to go,"

Looking back at the hall where Ahmad room was she sighed. "Okay fine, but we have to come up with a good excuse or else I can't go."

"Girl that's easy, leave it up to me cause trust me you're gonna be at this party." Imani cheesed getting hype about this weekend upcoming events.

While Imani sat there all excited, Amira couldn't help but get a bad feeling in her gut. She eventually toned her friend out all she could see was her mouth moving as she thought about all the ways that night could go wrong.

But she just brushed it off stopping herself from being paranoid.
