Sleeping With the Enemy

Chapter 27: Again

"Are you heading home or you staying another night?" He asked as he cleaned up the kitchen.

I shrugged and debated with myself, "Well, I don't want to be a burden. I've already spent a day here." I said

"So do you wanna leave because you wanna go home or you leaving because you don't wanna be a burden?" He asked

"It's what I just said."

"Gi—you can stay here another night.." he said

"Psh... burden my ass." He mumbled

I've never been one to over stay my welcome, but if he doesn't mind me being here for another night then I'm fine with that too.

"Do you wanna look at a movie I found on Netflix?" I asked

"Yeah, we can, let me finish in here." He said

I said okay and pulled my phone out and scrolled through a few social media's.

Mia: I miss you! Let's go somewhere tomorrow.
11:23 PM

I miss you more, and okay we can.
11:24 PM

I appreciate Mia, she's my only friend and has been since high school. She's very rare and legit.

"What we namin' him? Or her?" Chris asked

"Huh?"

"What we naming the baby?"

"I don't know, names were the last thing on my mind." I said

"I'm thinking... Ishami." He said

"Oh, that's so different! But what if it isn't a boy?" I asked

"..." he thought for a second

"Te—Tay—I'm tryna figure out an uncommon name with a T but fuck it." He chuckled as he tossed the rag on the sink.

"Taleyia." I said

"Ooooh you ghetto."

I chuckled slightly, "That's not.. ghetto. I like it."

"We'll think on it."

"Ou!! Ruth!" He said, placing some things back into the refrigerator.

We both burst out in laughter, "Nigga you got mad jokes!" I said and got up from the island.

"Yeah, I was speaking off the top of my head wit' that bullshit."

Chris

Though I'm not showing it, I'm so excited. I'm having my first child. Though we not together and all that other shit, I don't care, it doesn't even matter to me right now. I'm just excited to get this experience. At least it's with somebody I like, because I would've been extremely devastated had it been wit' one of my old flings, like Monica or.. the other one, I don't even know their names.

"You ready?" She asked

"Yeah, yeah I'm ready." I said and we walked into the living room.

I sat down and she grabbed the remote and sat next to me. She curled her legs up and scrolled on Netflix.

I know she feels like she can't lay on me or anything of that sort because of what we're not but, I'm not like that and obviously I bend the rules—and I bent them a bit too far, as you can now see.

"Why you over there? Bring yo' ass here." I said and pulled her close. She rested her head on my shoulder and clicked on the movie.
