He stopped and just stared. He shook his head and backed away. “That aint even for me and you. You’re carrying my baby.” he seemingly realized. He knew what time it was. When I went in my crazy zone he had to sleep with one eye open. I’d get like that after getting frustrated with him and his jealousy. The way he was constantly accusing me I didn’t know why he never questioned the paternity of any of our babies.
“Yeah, you back the fuck up. I'm tired of you and your bitching. Shit, you gonna make me go out and cheat.” I growled.
He winced, like I'd stabbed him with my words. “I'ma make you do what?” he placed a hand to his ear.
I refused to open my mouth.
He eased closer. “I can't hear you. Say that shit again. I'ma make you do what?”
I tightened my lips. “You heard me.”
He stroked his goatee, as he eyed me. “Keep talking that shit.” he nodded. The house became eerily quiet.
We were in an intense standoff, and I didn't know what to expect.
“That shit been on your mind, huh?”
I scrunchedd. “What are you talkin' about?”
“You wanna cheat? You tryin' to fuck the next nigga? You wanna let hoe ass Khalil smash?”
I inhaled. “Jahrein, that is not what I said.”
He clenched his jaw. “Then what are you sayin'?”
I gulped. “I'm sayin' that you're gonna push me, until I can't take this shit no more. Why the fuck are you riding me so hard? If anybody should be aroundhere mad, it should be me.” I pointed at my chest. “I can't go nowhere without bitches fucking with me, when I don't bother nobody, Jahrein. I can't even have friends around without thinking that some shady shit is gonna pop off, but you's the one tripping. Don't this seem ass backwards to you?”
He frowned. “So, what you saying? You don't trust me around your friends?”
“Hell no, I don't. But I keep those insecurities to myself. I don't make you pay for that. So, tell me. Why can't you do the same?”
He stepped over to the couch, and sat on the arm. He stared into space for a few seconds. Then a grin eased onto his handsome face. “Raven, if you could see what I see everyday, you'd feel me.”
I was confused. “Jahrein, what the hell are you talking about?”
He focused on me. “It's you.”
“Me?” I screwed my face.
He chuckled, as he waved his head. “You just don't know.” he grabbed his dick.
I rolled my eyes.
“You can roll them eyes all you want. Just remember this.” he dropped the smile. “Raven I willkillyour ass. You know that? I would really murder your ass and take that time after the laws catch me. I'ma push you to cheat, huh? Man...I will bury you first.”
My jaw dropped. “You threatening me?”
He shook his head, as he stood up. “No, that’s a promise. I let you talk your shit, but you just went too damn far. Now, if I ever catch you near that nigga again, I will choke the life out of you.”
“Oh, don’t worry.” I pursed my lips, and folded my arms. “Cause if I have to cheat, then I’ll just leave.”
He nodded as he ran his tongue across his teeth. “Shit, that’s where you wrong at.” he spoke calmly, as he grabbed my ring finger. “This right here is until the day your casket drops.”

“I got a hunch that something aint right. Oh, no. This is no illusion. I‘ve come to this conclusion that you‘re fooling around.”
