Message from Tee: A small update...nothing spectacular but I really wanted to at least put something out. Merry Christmas guyss, and happy holidays. Hopefully, I can get my laptop back soon, it's currently getting fixed ans its expensive af too, so Jan 2014, I should be more active with the updates. Thank you all for supporting me and being so patient. I really do appreciate it. :-)
JAIDA
I was happy that my baby was acting normal. With Kelson around, I was confident that everything would be alright, but at the same time I was nervous about letting him in again. He's hurt me so many times that I didn't want to put myself through all of that again.
He had been checking up on me frequently, maybe twice, sometimes three times a week. He'd text me to check if I was eating and taking my prenatal vitamins. I appreciated it, and honestly, if it wasn't for him, I'd be deep into my depression but for right now, I was just trying to keep my head above water.
"Hello." I answered my phone, picking it up as it vibrated on my nightstand.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Kelson's voice softly met my ears.
"Good..I guess." I sighed.
"Well..I just wanted to make sure you were feeling okay before I went to bed."
'Like every night.' I smiled a bit to myself.
"Well...thank you." I replied, "I'm fine."
"Good to hear. How was your day?" He continued the conversation.
"I just laid in bed. Eating. " I looked down at my stomach, I was already four months along and my stomach was now quite round. But still, my stomach was small compared to how it should be which wss disappointing to me.
"That's not very productive, and pregnancy isn't an excuse to be lazy, Jaida." He said with reluctance.
My emotions have been out if control so I understood his caution.
"Well...I'll have you know that pregnancy may not be a good enough excuse but certainly, getting kicked in the stomach by a 14 year old is." I said, knowing it would shut him right up.
"Right." He said awkwardly, "well anyways ive got s busy day tomorrow so, I'll talk to you later. Good night, Jaida."
"Good night, Kelson." I said solemnly and hung up.
I hated sleeping alone. This just wasn't how I imagined my first time being pregnant.
KELSON
With Bella out of my life, I had more time to focus on my daughter, Jaida and our baby on the way. We've been able to coexist with each other but not necessarily be together. It had been 2 months since my divorce and Jaida was still distant with me, like we haven't already interacted in the most intimate and intense ways.
I got up, and cleaned myself up. It was 10:30am and Kamilla was away at a sleepover til Sunday so I had free time to do what I wanted; And all I wanted was to be near Jaida. After getting dressed, I headed over to her apartment. I knocked on the door and waited patiently. After a few minutes, Jaida opened the door. Her hair was up in a messy, high bun. She wore loose fitting pajama pants and a white tank top, with no bra on underneath. I couldn't help but stare at her perky breast, that had gotten bigger since the last time I saw her.
"Came to see me or my boobs?" She asked, snapping me out of my trance.
"Both." I joked and chuckled a bit. She gave me a slight smile in response and walked into her living room.
I entered her house and took a seat next to her.
"How have you been feeling?" I asked as she watched the episode of "The Young & The Restless".
She sighed, her eyes still glued to the television. "My back hurts, my feet and boobs are swollen. According to my doctor, I have high blood pressure and at this point, I just want to get this pregnancy over with."
"What's been stressing you?" I asked.
"Everything. I've been receiving angry text from my family....Ashley's been telling tales." She said.
"Like what?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
She pulled out her phone and went to her text messages. "From my dad, 'You are the biggest disappointment and mistake I ever made. You are sleeping with multiple married men for money like some no good prostitute. I couldn't call or tell you this to your face because the sight of you would make me sick, but just be aware that you are never, EVER, allowed to step foot in my home again. You want to ruin someone else's family, let that be your business, but you certainly are not welcomed in ours.'" She finished reading the harsh text message to me, her eyes glistening with unshed tears as she sighed and placed her phone to the side.
"I'm so sorry, Jaida." I said solemnly.
"It's fine," she shrugged, "I'm the one who did this to myself. Stupid Jaida just couldn't keep her legs closed." She shook her head and looked down.
I lifted her face gently, turning it to face mine.
"You're not who they say you are," I said looking into her eyes. "You're beautiful, smart, independent and stubborn as hell sometimes," I chuckled, "I know who you are, and you're not the girl they want to make you out to be. You need to get back into being the woman I fell in love with."
"You're in love with me?" She asked softly.
I hadn't even noticed I had said those words. I paused for a moment before responding.
"Actually...yeah, yeah I am." I nodded.
She smiled widely, and blushed.
"Don't get shy on me now." I told her.
She reached and gave me a hug. "Thank you for being here for me." She said into my neck.
"I'll always be here for you. I know I haven't been in the past but, things are different now, and I'm going to help you any way I can." I said as she released me from her embrace, "starting with setting you a bath for your back."
"Okay." She smiled.
I got up and went into her bathroom. Her tub was a decent size, I filled it up with hot water, adding epsom salt and bubbles to help relax her. Once it was done, I turned off the water and lit a few candles from a set she had in her bedroom. I dimmed the lights and was proud of my work.
"It's ready." I told her as I helped her off the couch.
I walked behind her as she entered the bathroom.
"Aww!" She exclaimed as soon as she entered, "This is amazing. Thank you."
"You're welcome." I smiled.
She walked to the tub and turned to look at me.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"I have to get in." She said.
"And?"
"Well...I'd like to get undressed in private." She said shyly.
'There goes the distance again.' I thought to myself, but nodded in understanding, moving away from the door.
"You can come back now!" She called to me a couple minutes later.
I walked in the bathroom to see her comfortably submerged in the water. Her body was clouded with large foamy mountains of bubbles.
"How's the water?" I asked as I took a seat by the tub.
"Perfect. Thanks." She said as she closed her eyes.
I decided to give her silence, a moment to clear her mind.
"Can you help me out, please? The last thing I want to do is slip and fall." She said as she stood up.
I couldn't help but eyes her body that glistened as the water slipped off of her. Even pregnant, her body still was attractive to me.
"Yeah." I swallowed hard as I stood and grabbed a towel. I wrapped her up in it before lifting her up bridal style, carrying her to the bed before gently placing her down.
I grabbed the towel from around her and she gasped, using her hands to cover her private parts.
"Oh relax. It's not the first time I've seen you naked. You were naked less than a minute ago." I said.
She giggled, "I was just surprised, that's all."
I took the towel and dried her off, before grabbing her cocoa butter lotion and massaging it into her smooth chocolate skin. She closed her eyes as my hands roamed freely over her body. I felt her body shiver underneath my touch as she released gentle moans that began to make me aroused. I fought my own temptation and hurried to finish up, sliding on her silk leopard print pajamas.
"Thank you." She smiled.
"Want me to make you some dinner?" I asked.
"You've already done a lot, already." She shook her head.
"It's nothing." I shrugged.
"Lets just order something and watch a movie." She suggested.
JAIDA
I know what it seems like, but it's not it. I appreciated everything he was doing for me, Lord knows I needed the company. But after ordering a pizza, I put on 'Fast Five', we both watched quietly. It seemed like the mood had changed. I sat at one end of the couch whild Kelson sat at the other. I don't know how but, I figured it was my choice of sitting far away. I caught him stealing glances at me.
I moved away for myself, I wanted to keep myself under control, and keep our relationship strictly based off of communication. But, the sexual tension was definitely building. His massage alone almost took me to the edge, maybe it was because I was pregnant but my sex drive was at a all time high.
"You should go. It's getting late." I said as the movie came to an end.
"It's only 5." He countered.
"Yeah, but you don't want Kamilla home alone for so long." I continued.
"She's at a sleepover, but if you want me to leave, I will." He sounded morr sad than angry.
I frowned as he stood up. I wanted him to stay but instead of stopping him, I watched him leave.
"Good night, Jaida." He said.
"Good night, Kelson." I replied as the door closed.
KELSON
I left Jaida's apartment and went home. I felt kind of saddened that she kicked me out like that, but I was trying to be understanding. I sighed as I walked into my apartment and placed my jacket in the closet. I wwlked into the living room and heard laughter and anoffling from upstairs. I followed the voices to my daughter's room. I looked in her room and immediately got angry as I saw the back of a woman's head which I knew too well.
"Dad," Kamilla looked at me with sorrow in her eyes, it looked like she had been crying. "Mom she needs your help." She said.
"With?" I askes dryly.
Bella slowly turned and faced me and it was a face, I would never recognize. My eyebrows drew together as I saw the bruises on her face and right eye that was purple and swollen shut.
"Hi." She said softly.
'Here we go.' I thought to myself.
-------
Whatcha think? Should Jaida give Kelson a second chance, will she?
Will Kelson actually step up to the plate and be there forher now that Bella's gone or will he screw her ovwr again.
