Loved In The Wrong Way

Chapter 7

"Went met at Smoke's house. Remember me and you fought that night. Smoke kicked me out and cut everything off with me. I haven't heard from him since."

"Oh, yeah I beat ya ass. I remember you now. You look so much better without the purple hair." It's true. Her hair was shoulder length, it was black, curly, and beautiful.

"Thanks, I guess." She said before sighing.

I guess I'll give her a ride since I beat her ass. You see I can beat yo ass today and give you a ride home 5 months laters. "Come on. Where am I taking you?"

She smiled and then got in the front seat. I found out a lot of things about her. She said her name is Stacy, but she goes by Sparkle. She was a dancer and she met Jordan three months ago at a bar. They've never had sex or oral sex, but he does beat her ass and talks very downgrading to her. She's 22 and she has an apartment in a really bad area.

"I'll see you later, or something like that?" She said as she got out of the car.

"Yeah." I gave her my number and then I drove to Nelson's house.

"Mari, aye yo what the fuck? Why didn't yo ass answer the damn phone? A nigga is over here stressing cause you ain't answering the damn phone. If you not here to make the fucking food, who gon' make that shit?" He yelled

"Nigga what the fuck? You just want me here so I can cook some fucking food for yo fat ass? Learn how to cook!"

"But for real what took yo ass so long?"

I sighed "I ran into someone."

"Who?"

"Jordan." I mumbled

"Mari, you know I hate it when you do that shit. Speak the fuck up! Who?"

"Jordan." I semi yelled

"What? You ran into that nigga? What the fuck he had to say?"

"He wants to have lunch and talk about the baby."

"Cool. When we having lunch?"

"I don't know when Jordan and I are gonna have lunch!"

"So you gonna get back with this nigga Mari?"

"Stop asking me questions and let me cook yo goddamn food. If you wanna know so bad, go grab my fucking phone and ask him."

He shrugged "Shit aight."

I grabbed his arm. "Nigga don't do that! He'll come over here and rip yo head off!"

He chuckled. "Okay." I rolled my eyes as he walked outta the kitchen.

***

Someone knocked on my room door at Nelson's house. I assumed it was him.

"Come in." I said as I turned the tv down.

In came the woman who almost made me steal shit, whoop my ass, almost let her boyfriend rape me. If it wasn't for Jordan, her boyfriend would've raped me. Today is not my day.

"What the hell do you want?" I yelled at her.

"You're pregnant?" She looked at my stomach.

I placed my hands on my stomach. "What do you want? I made it very clear that I never wanted to see you again the night you almost let your boyfriend rape me. Why are you here?"

"Nelson told me you were here. He said you didn't wanna me, but I wanna ask for forgiveness."

"Forgiveness?" I chuckled "You told I'd never be anything but a hoe with a man who didn't give a fuck about me and I wouldn't care as long as I'm getting his dick. I ain't lettin shit go."

Nelson had came up along with two of his friends. I guess I was yelling.

"I'm not leaving! I know I did some fucked up shit but you're still my daughter!"

"YOU THINK YOU GIVIN BIRTH TO MAKES YOU A PARENT AND IT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DO ANYTHING TO ME!"

"Ummm Mari calm down---" I cut him off

"The fuck you mean calm down? I'm out!"

I pushed everybody out of my way and walked to my car.

"Mari, chill." Nelson said tryna stop me.

I walked back inside. "Look, Nelson you ain't shit and you bitch," I pointed at her "you damn sure ain't shit. Don't fuck with me no more. Me and my baby will be okay. I don't need nobody."

I got in my car and drove home. I'm not the Mariana I used to be. I can never go back to here. I have the worst headache.

When I got home, my door was unlocked. I walked inside and Jordan was sitting on my couch.

"What the hell are you doing here? How'd you get in? How did you even know where I lived?"

"I got connections. I knew where you were lived, I just couldn't get in. So, I asked the landlord for a key and he wouldn't give it to me at first. We exchanged a few words and here I am." He smiled.

"Jordan, you're gonna get me put out!" I yelled

"Man, you don't even need to stay here anyway. You need to be at home with me and you don't need to be yelling, stressing our baby out." He said before grabbing my hand and and walking me over to the couch. I sat down and he took my shoes off and started rubbing my feet. "Pack your things and come home."

"No." This foot massage felt so good.

"That wasn't a question, but you right. I'mma pack it." He said as he stopped rubbing my feet and started walking to my room.

"No, don't stop." I whined as I grabbed his arm. He smirked before licking his lips.

"Gimme a kiss and I'll finish." I kissed him without hesitation.
