Chereads / Dropped His Dime / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

I was driving along the highway to meet up with the construction guys since today Trey was gone chill with Malik until I got off. The moment Malik got in Trey's car he called me off the car audio cracking jokes making me laugh. As well as calling me pet names as Trey laughed in the background so he could flex. He wanted to be back on a relationship level but this baby made things different. Malik was pushing up on me hard before I ended the call quickly getting out of the car to see that the site workers were nowhere to be found. Hoping out the car I happen to see one of the workers gathering his belongings as I chased him down. My body wasn't needing the stress I was taking on at this moment. I approach the truck he was driving as he threw his work bag on the back. Asking who authorize them to stop he pointed to a portable office. I walk up the steps to see Kevin inside with a Hispanic man in a suit I assume is the manager. Kevin introduced me as his wife before I could even speak the man said that his service was no longer needed according to what Kevin said. He left out before I could even speak failing at stopping him I just headed to my car leaving the portable office door open. Kevin called out to me and I flicked him off. Attempting to not step in the muddy areas on the ground I got in my car. Arriving at my house I purchased I went to get dress so I could pick up Malik for dinner. He was to stay with Trey because we were just co-parenting and being good friends. Arriving at Trey's place I head inside to speak with Trey alone to see Malik was still getting dress. Eyeballing the doorway I began the conversation. I got close enough till the point I was whispering distance.

"Trey the project is placed on hold because of Kevin."

"What, how did that happen?"

"He and I been going back and forth at each other throat lately and today he was at the property when the man said he couldn't work for us no more."

"Say what, he was there?"

"Hell yeah and I'm going to find out more but let's keep this between us because I don't want Malik to find out."

Malik walked in before our eyes darted to him. Ending the conversation quickly Trey went to dap him up before rushing off. Immediately my hormones started to rage at the way a black sweater he wore touched his biceps. He wore some black timbs that made the outfit spiffy when he walked over to me. I cleared my throat before heading out the door as Malik ask could he drive. Along the drive, he asked me if I was hungry in which I was. Against it, I denied before he pulled up to a restaurant that was fairly off in the cut of a spot he claimed he was well known at. When we entered the place it was beautiful with a mini pond in the center of the floor. The ceiling was high but glass beautifully covered every part of the place. The hostess wasted no time coming over to speak to Malik. They sat us down and a personal chef came over to introduce themselves before he ordered dinner for us both. And some waters as well which I knew was for the baby's sake. Slow music began to play and candles around on the tables were lit while the lights became dim. It seems the place had gotten cleared out within minutes. He scooted close to me in the booth before I smelt his sweet breath. He reached in to kiss me before I resisted. I told him tonight wasn't going to happen. Somehow he asked could we chill and talk a bit before I took him back. After a while, it was as though he was uncomfortable once his phone rang. Everything seems to stand still when Malik made eye contact.

"I can't sit here and act like I still don't feel something for you Yasmin because I do. I made a child with you. Yes, still none of this is a mistake. I want to be with you regardless of how you feel about me. I would never break your heart as he did and that's my word."

The tears started to come down as I told him it was time for us to leave. I pulled out my card instead he put half a grand on the table. Leaving out he walked ahead of me before getting in the passenger seat so I could drive. When we got back to Trey's crib all the lights were off and Trey's car was gone. He got out to retrieve the key out of his pocket before heading inside not bothering to look back. I was hurt because everything he was saying was true but I didn't want to take that chance. The way he paraded around with an ego the size of a millionaire he was ruthless. I think I hurt his feelings as he slammed the door not bothering to say goodbye either. I waited to truly think about us as a family when I got out to knock on the door. He answered within one knock before my body connects with his as our tongues tussled. He took off my top and pants before I was in my underclothes on the bed he was going to sleep in. I was in love because our bodies felt connected. Each time our lips departed I felt his hands roam my body. He ripped my underwear off before he pulled his jeans down to enter me. I cried out his name over and over as he kept hitting my spot. Then I got on top to ride him before he couldn't hold back before busting in me. I looked over at the clock on the nightstand realizing I had to go home. Malik turned the clock around to turn me over to start round 2. When we were finished I scooted to get out but he had me locked in his arms. I readjusted my body to sleep next to him. When we awoke the next morning Trey rushed to the bedroom door knocking before speaking through it. I was dress when Malik walked outside the door to talk to Trey. When it was over he came back in seeing I was leaving to stand in front of the door. The door was open by the women from the office Kevin worked in. We paused to look at each other before Malik tried to excuse her at the same time I was heading out.

"Hey, Kima you should've called. But Yasmin where are you going?"

"Home where I live. Look I just need you to be the father you said you're going to strive to be nothing else more."
