“I know you fucking lying.” I hissed lowly. I’d just gotten out of the shower after getting Keona back to sleep and in bed, and now someone was knocking at my door.
I need a freaking doorbell camera!
Tossing the cover off me roughly, I reached in the drawer for my mace then stomped down the hall to my door, checking the peephole to see who the fuck could be at my house in the middle of the night, but yet again that stupid décor on my door was in the way.
“Who is it?” I asked.
“It’s me. Open the door.”
“Makhai.” I frowned, but opened the door, leaving the chain on just like last time. “What are you doing here?”
“You gon’ do this every time I come through?”
“Yes, considering I don’teverinvite you first,” I rolled my eyes. “What are you doing here?”
“Open the door, Diamond.”
I scoffed. “Weren’t you just with a bitch? You arenotcoming in here after sleeping with someone elseandafter insulting me?”
He sucked his teeth at my response. “I didn’t crack that hoe, man, and I was a lil’ lit, so my apologies for saying that shit. I was out of line.”
“Well, you still shouldn’t be here. It’s…” I turned to glance at my stove and check the time. “Four in the morning, Makhai.”
“I know, so open the door ‘fore I wake ya neighbors up with us.”
I narrowed my eyes at him before slamming the door to remove the chain fearing that he’d really do something ridiculous and wake all of my neighbors for real.
Once I had the door open, he smirked sexily at me then lifted from where he was leaning into the door frame. I thought he was going to go to my living room, but this fool started down the hall. I quickly closed and locked my door then hurried behind him.
“What are you doing?” I whispered harshly. I didn’t want to wake Keona by yelling at stupid ass.
“‘Bout to lie down.”
“Makhai, you need to get your ass out of my bed.” I frowned. “I don’t do street clothes in my shit.”
He wasn’t wearing what I’d seen him in earlier. He was now in some basketball shorts, an Essentials Fear of God hoodie, socks, and slides. I’d never seen a man dressed down look so delicious, but I couldn’t focus on that. He needed to get out.
“It’s four in the morning baby, and a nigga is beat.” He emptied his pockets, placing his phone, keys, wallet, and gun on the nightstand. “A nigga just needs to lie down and close my eyes for like two hours.”
“You have a hotel room here,I’m sure.” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Why didn’t you lie your ass down there?”
“Because I couldn’t get yo’ ass off my mind.” He pulled his hoodie over his head and tossed it to the side followed by taking his shorts off, then he made himself comfortable in my bed. “Come on,” he patted the empty side. “Lay your ass down.”
“Makhai,” I closed my eyes briefly. “I have gottenno sleep. I’m not in the mood for any foolishness.”
“Me either. I’m tired as fuck.”
“Then go get on the couch,” I pointed.
“Fuck I look like?” he frowned. “This bed barely big enough for me, you think I’m ‘bout to get on that lil’ ass couch.”
“This queen sized bed is just right forme.” I rolled my eyes and walked toward the bassinet where my niece was sleeping to check on her. She was sleeping soundly, so I went to the other side of the bed to slide in. I opened the nightstand drawer to put my mace back inside.
“What you was gon’ do with that shit?” Makhai asked as he laid down.
“I should have showed you.” I rolled my eyes and slid down in the bed. I barely had my head on my pillow before his muscular arms were circling my body and pulling me closer. He nuzzled his face in my neck and I wanted to whoop my own ass for enjoying the feeling and melting.
“Think some mace can do something to me.”
