Jd

I woke up to hearing the doorbell continuously ring. I sat up and quickly laid back down, feeling a headache coming on.

I looked beside me seeing Kelis sitting up against the headboard, tapping on her phone.

I mugged her. "Yo Kelis, you don't hear the doorbell ringing?!"

She scoffed. "Yeah, I hear it." "Why you ain't go answer it then?"

She stopped playing on her phone and turned to me. "It's not for me." I smacked my lips and threw the covers off me.

I got up and headed down stairs.

The doorbell rang again. "I'm coming!" I yelled.

I opened the door and seen Dave standing there smiling. "Nigga what the fuck do you want?" We chuckled.

He stepped inside and I shut the door. "Aye bro, last night was crazy..." He walked to the living room and I followed him.

"Yeah it was... You was drunk too." We sat down on the couch. "Me? No nigga, YOU were drunk!" We busted out laughing. He pulled out a blunt and lit it.

"I know... It's a good thing Kelis came to get me right?" I said as he passed the blunt to me. I put it up to my lips and pulled it.

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Excuse me, who?" He said quickly.

I chuckled. "Yo stop playing. Kelis." I passed the blunt to him.

"Um bro. Kelis didn't come get you..." He puffed the blunt. I scrunched my face up.

"Then how the fuck I got home?" "Stephanie came and got you. When I called Kelis, she said she was busy." He shrugged.

I sat there looking at the floor. Memories from last night came flooding to the front of my mind.

"Aye nigga. I know you ain't high already." He did the Conceited face.

[S/N: If you don't know what he talking about, just look it up 😭]

"Yo.. Take me to the club to get my car..." I said and stood up. "Iight nigga."

Once I got back to the house, quickly I ran up the stairs, feeling my ears get hot. I busted through the bedroom finding Kelis naked.

She quickly covered herself up with her arms.

"Nigga what the fuck wrong with you?!" She yelled. "No, what the fuck is wrong with you!" I pointed at her.

"Why the fuck didn't you come get me when Dave called you?!" She scoffed. "I was busy." She turned around and continued to get dressed.

"Do you even know how I got home?!" She waved me off. "No. And I don't really care."

I grabbed her arm and snatched her up. "What the fuck was you doing?!" "I was at a friends house!" She tried to pull away from me.

"At 3:00 in the fucking morning?!" She began to whine. I softened up. "Why Kelis?"

"Why what?!" She yelled. "Why you do that shit?" I whispered. She threw her arm up in the air. "DO WHAT?!"

"Why'd you kill our baby?" She stayed silent.

"WHY?!" I yelled at her and she flinched. "Because I wasn't ready, okay?!" Her voice cracked.

"What?" I asked softly.

"I wasn't ready... I didn't love you like you loved me. I was in love with your friend and you were taking care of me and he wasn't so I stayed. And when I found out I was pregnant, I didn't know if it was yours or his. I couldn't risk it being his because I knew you'd be threw with me. I wasn't ready to be a single mother. So, I killed it." She shrugged.

Tears formed in my eyes. "Yo why Kelis... You didn't have to do that... I would've taken care of the baby, you didn't have to do that!" I yelled and the tears came falling out of my eyes.

"Well, it's done. Don't bring it up anymore." I threw her across the room, letting her arm go. She stumbled before looking at me.

"Get all your shit and get the fuck out. Never contact me again." I said and I walked out the room.

Stephanie

"Bitch, Dr. Bryant getting on my nerves! 'Stephanie bring me them papers! Stephanie go check on the patients! Stephanie bring me my pen! Get off that phone Stephanie!' Like fuckkk, it's a billion other nurses in this hospital!" I vented to Zoe as he laughed.

"Bitch I'm forreal!" I whined. "STEPHANIE!" I heard him call down the hall.

"Uggghhh! Girl I'll be back." I said to her walking in his direction.

"Didn't I tell you to file these papers?" He handed a stack of papers to me. "Dr. Bryant, Ian gone lie. I'm not your personal assistant. Now if you want someone to do that, make the Aid do it. That's what they get they time for anyway." I waved him off and sat them back in his hand.

I walked back behind the nurses station and finished signing some papers.

"What he want now?" Zoe asked me laughing.

"Giirrrll he gone give me a stack of damn papers telling me to file them. I put them bitches right back in his hand." I said looking down.

"Ooh I know he fucking lyin!" "Shit he gotta be some."

All of a sudden, I felt Zoe tap me repeatedly. "Bitch what?!" I said annoyed.

"Bitch- Bitch look!" He exclaimed. I just waved him off.

"Um, excuse me ma'am... I'm looking for Stephanie Jones..." I furrowed my eyebrows.

That sounds like...

I looked up and saw Jaceyon smiling from ear to ear at me holding a box of the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen.

I smiled and looked down. "Um

m... Jones? No. But there is someone by the name of Stephanie Latamore here."

He shook his head. "Nah. I think I got it right. It's Jones." He smiled again.

"Well, I can take a message... Is there anything you'd like for me to tell her?" He nodded his head.

"Yes! Can you give her these please?" He handed me the flowers. I smiled slightly as I put them up to my nose.

"And can you tell her to meet me at Marc Forgione tonight at 7PM?" I nodded my head and smiled. "She'll be there..."

"Alright..." He said as he was about to walk away. He stopped and turned around. "Oh and can you tell her that I'm sorry... And give her this..." He grabbed my face from behind the counter and pressed his lips onto mine. I closed my eyes and moaned into his mouth.

Sliding his tongue in, he slowly and softly kissed me.

"OOOOOOOOOO..." I heard and opened my eyes and looked over. All the nurses were standing there watching us. Even the doctors nosey asses were standing there.

I smiled as they cooed. Jaceyon still held my face and softly pecked my lips.

"Can I take a name?" I whispered. "Daddy." He let my face go and I watched him disappear into the elevator.

I fake passed out and Zoie caught me. He laughed. "Ooh girl we gotta call Angel.. We gotta call Angel!"

***

I pulled up to Marc Forgione at 7:30 PM. I parked and quickly walked inside. Once I got up to the podium, I was met with a younger black male.

"Hi! Um I have a date here tonight... Um he's tall, low haircut, fine as hell, kinda buff, carmel, looks young but mature at the same time..." I said squinting, trying to describe Jd.

The man opened his eyes wide once he realized who I was talking about. "Ohhhh yes I know who you're talking about! Follow me ma'am." He smiled as he walked me to our table.

Jaceyon was playing on his phone but put it down and stood up once he saw me. "Jaceyon, I'm so so so sorry that I'm late! Dr. Bryant had me stay in an extra hou-" He pecked my lips making me shut up.

"What you apologizing for baby? You're worth the wait..." I could've melted right there. He stared at my body. "Turn around... Let me see."

I did a slow 360. "Mm, mmm, mm..." He bit his lip and smacked my ass. I gasped. "Jd stop it! We're in public!" I whisper yelled.

"You telling me I can't touch my wife in public?" He smacked my ass again. "Jaceyon, STOP." I said grabbing his hand. We both laughed.

He came over to my side of the table and pulled my chair out. "Aww thank you, you're such a gentleman.." I smiled and sat down.

***

As we spent more and more time in the restaurant, the more I became uneasy. And I think Jaceyon is starting to notice.

"You not feeling this shit either huh ma?"

I shook my head. "Nah... I feel like I don't fit in here... I mean babe don't get me wrong this is nice! It's nice here, and I appreciate everything you went through doing this for me, but it's to quiet... The food portions are yo small... It's to... What's the word..."

"Boujie." We both said at the same time.

"Wanna get out of here and go to the hood and get some food?" I shrugged. "Yeah I'm down..."

He smiled and grabbed my hand and we got up. "This one of the reasons I love you..."

***

We raced to Walmart to get candles and roses. Once we got to the house, we ate the food we ordered from a soul food restaurant that's down the street from the hood.

After that, he didn't waste anytime setting up. He told me to stay in the bedroom until he was finished.

I sat on the bed and came out setting candles up around the room. He threw roses petals everywhere and cut the lights off.

"Baby, what are you doing? It's dark in here." I giggled as he came and stood over me, rubbing my thighs.

"That's the point. Now come on." He pulled me up and led me towards the bathroom.

Once I stepped in, I want to burst into tears.

"Do you like it babe?" He asked hugging me from behind. "I-I-I love it..." I whispered.

He kissed my neck and began to unzip my dress. I stepped out of it. I went over to the bathroom counter and got a hair clip out my purse. I pinned my hair up.

When I got back to the tub, Jaceyon was already naked and in. I ran my hand under the water, checking the temperature.

"Babe, why the water look like this?" I asked running my hand under it.

"I used one of them things you left over here. I thought it was gone make bubbles and shit, but nah." He said.

I straight faced him. "You used my damn bath bomb."

"Baby I'll buy you a million bath bombs if you just get in the water..." He said almost pleading.

I stepped in and sat down, adjusting my body to the temperature. "Bae I love this. I've never done anything like this..." I said slightly kicking my feet.

"Me either.." He said. I sucked my teeth. "Not even with Kelis?" He shook his head. "Nope. Yo! Speaking of Kelis..." He told me everything that happened earlier that day.

"Damn babe, that's fucked up... Even though all of that happened, she didn't have to do that." I said with tears coming down his face. I knew what it felt like to be hurt, but I could only imagine the pain he was feeling.

"Yeah I'm iight now though..." He played with my feet. "Oh and thank you for coming to get me last night."

I smiled at him. "You don't have to thank me.. Yanno, last night, you said somethings..." I played with my hands.

He furrowed his brows. "What? What did I say?" He said quickly. "It wasn't anything hurtful was it?"

"No! No babe! You just stuff... Like how you were in love with me and how you missed me and you grabbed all on my ass-" He nodded his head.

"Yupp yupp, I remember that. I'll never forget any moment that I grip that ass." He said as I told him the story.

"-and how you were only with her for closure and how your mom and son like me-"

"Woah woah woah woah. I said what?..." He stopped me. "You told me that you were with Kelis for closure?" I asked.

"No no! After that.." He said.

"You told me that your mom and son likes me... And you said that you could see them and that they were standing across the room. You asked if I could see them, but I couldn't.."

He threw his head back. "Yo I can't believe I said that shit.. I must've scared you.." He grabbed his hands.

"No no babe! You didn't scare me! Actually earlier that day, I was telling Angel that I wondered if she would've liked me.."

He sighed. "Babe, did you see something?"

He scrunched up his face. "What you mean?"

"You know, when you- when you died.." I whispered. He cleared his throat. "Yeah yeah... Um, I did."

I got closer to him and grabbed his hands. He told me the whole story.

"Wow babe... That's a lot... I hate she did that to your son... That could've been my only chance to be a mommy, yanno?" I began to cry. He pulled me onto his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Hey.. Don't be upset babe... He's not upset about it so we shouldn't be.. We gonna have us some kids. Even if we gotta pay some doctors a couple thousand for the whole procedure. We gonna cash out just to have us a baby." I laughed at his silliness.

"But no forreal babe." He said, rubbing my back. I smiled. "They like me..."

He moved my hair out my face. "Yeah, they do. They love you." I hugged him. "When am I gonna get to meet your parents?"

I pulled back and shook my head. "Um babe, I don't know. We not speaking right now."

"What? Why not?" I rolled my eyes and told him about my parents getting mad over money.

"Yo babe you gotta go down there and see them and talk to them!" He exclaimed me.

"No thank you. I can't just show up in Louisiana after YEARS like 'Oh hey you guys! I'm here!'" I said dryly. "Come on ma, stop being like that! We can go down there for Christmas! You haven't seen them in years. I know you miss them."

A part of him was right. I got my silliness from my parents. And whenever they weren't beating me, they were cracking jokes. They would always stop getting me from being mad at me by making me laugh.

I think that's why I'm so attracted to Jaceyon: He reminded me a lot of my dad. The good part of him, that is.

They're both hilarious, handsome, and outgoing. And could turn any serious situation into a funny one. I thought my dad was the funniest nigga in the world and the only one that could make me laugh so hard that I'd squirt a little pee.

I thought that all the way up until I met Jd.

"What about Angel?! She's supposed to have the baby durning Christmas!" I exclaimed.

"Alright well New Years then. We can all go! Me, you, Dave, Angel, the baby!" I sighed.

"I'll think about it Jaceyon..." "Alright." He said and he pecked my lips.

"Wait! So if you got closure, then that means your done with Kelis?" I gave him the eyes. "Yes baby, I'm done with Kelis."

"Mm.." I said smirking. He reached over and grabbed a red Cartier box from behind the candles. He turned it around and opened it.

I gasped. "My necklace!!!" I quickly grabbed it out the box and put it around my neck.

"Look under it." He pointed to the box. I lifted the black flap up and and a pink heart shaped ring that matched my necklace was sitting there.

I put my hands over my mouth. Tears fell down my face.

"Baby I love you. Okay? I do. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for not understanding you more for not telling me about you not being able to have kids... Im sorry for walking out the way that I did.. I'm sorry for you having to see me with someone else. I'm sorry for any hurt that I may have bring you. I'm in love with you and I never wanna hurt you. I want you to be my woman, again. And I promise this time I won't fuck it up. Now this, this is not an engagement ring. You'll get two more rings. The third one will be it. This is your first one. Each one after that will be bigger, and bigger, and prettier, and prettier-" I screamed and burst into tears and clashed my lips onto his.

He gripped my waist, pulling me down on his hard dick.

"Be my woman, again?" He asked softly looking down at my lips. I nodded my head. "Yes.. Yes I'll be your woman again.." I said crying my eyes out.

He took the ring out the box and placed it on my ring finger. I held my hand up and examined it. It fit so well...

"Ion want no more beef witchu Ma Ma..." He whispered to my lips. "No more beef?" I inched closer to him.

He slightly shook his head. "No more beef."

We began to kiss passionately. He pulled away from me. "I love you Stephanie..."

"I love you more Jaceyon..." I said out of breath from all the kissing we were doing.

He lined his dick up with my vagina and I cried out as I came down on it.

"Mmmm.. Just how I left it..." He moaned, looking into my eyes.

I gripped onto his neck, bouncing up and down on him. "Ohh daddy..." I said as I rode his dick.

Our moans and the sound of the water splash up against the tub filled the room.

Well, now that I got their storyline up and going, we can start moving the story in different directions! ❤️
