“How long you finna keep ignoring a nigga?” Marlo asked, blocking my path from the shower to my closet.
Looking at Marlo, I kissed my teeth then processed to turn around. I didn’t have anything to say to him. Just because he was ready to talk now didn’t mean I had to talk to him. He’d given me his ass to kiss and now it was my turn to return the favor. Him claiming me as his girlfriend earlier didn't mean anything to me. Marlo wanted to mark histerritoryin front of Niko and Yaro. It should take seeing me around another nigga for him to claim me as his girlfriend.
He couldn’t say much to me when we first got home because Mason, Mallory and Sunshyne were all over us but once they went to sleep, he hadn’t stopped getting on my nerves. Every five minutes it was, can we talk? I continued ignoring him as he followed me around like a lost puppy.
“Let me apologize Solana, damn.” He said in an aggravated tone lifting me off my feet. My back was pressed to his chest as he sat us down on the bed. He wrapped his arm around my midsection and placed a kiss on my neck.
The moment I felt his embrace I was fucked. Being in Marlo’s arms was my weakness and he knew it.
“Apologize for what?” I said in a hostile tone, folding my arms across my chest. Just because I was weak on the inside didn’t mean I had to be on the outside.
“For how I been acting. So much shit came out a niggas head is still spinnin’.”
“Okay,” I shrugged my shoulders. “That means I get the short end of the stick when all I’ve done is to be there for you and be understanding?”
“Nah, you don’t. That’s why I wanna say sorry. I been taking my frustrations out on you. I shouldn’t have. I let what I’mgoing through make me question everybody around me. I been on some fuck shit. I can admit that, but Imma do better when it comes to you and my seed,” Marlo emphasized rubbing my nonexistent pouch. “Besides, I miss you. I miss my best friend. I haven’t been able to think straight. I couldn’t figure out why. Then it hit me, I hadn’t talked to you. You keep a niggas head on straight and I need that back.”
“That’s fine. We can be friends or whatever,” I replied, slightly disappointed that he was still on the friendship thing. I couldn’t force him to want more. I’d just have to go along with it for now.
“Why you say it like that?” I could see the frown on Marlo’s face out of the corner of my eye, as he looked down at me.
“Not a thing, friend.” I smartly replied ready to get up from his lap.
“You’re more than a fucking friends Solana you know that shit. I ain’t gotta tell you that.”
“I don’t know shit besides what comes out ya mouth.” I
“My mutha fuckin’ actions speak louder than my words.”
“Nigga your actions have been real fucked up lately,”
“My attitude has been fucked up but that don’t change the fact that I’m in love with you.”
“I’ll believe when I see itfriend.”
“I’m not just ya friend smart ass. I’m ya nigga too.”
“Sorry, that position isn’t available right now. I’ll let you know when applications reopen.”
“Them bitches ain’t never gone reopen. That spot filled fa’ life.”
“Yeah whatever. So, you gone tell me why you went to jail and been acting like an ass hole since?”
“Fallon fucking my daddy and the nigga say Mallory might be his.”
“What?”” I said, turning to look back at Marlo in shock. “Iii thought Rahmeek, might have been her dad? Theres no wayFallon is fucking your dad.” I said still in denial but the serious expression on his face let me know he wasn’t playing.
“If I didn’t see and hear that shit myself, I wouldn’t have believed it either.”
“Wow, I’m sorry.” I said turning my body around so I could hug Marlo.
“I’m dealing with this shit the best I can.” He said in a defeated tone pulling my heart strings. “I got the results back from Mallory the other day.”
“What did they say?” I eagerly asked, pulling back from my hug to look at his face.
He shrugged his shoulders, “Ion, know. I didn’t read them. I feel like it ain’t gone change shit cause no matter what she gone be my daughter. So, what’s the point? I already started the custody shit so fuck it.”
“I understand that” I replied as I stroked his back lovingly. “I’m sorry you gotta deal with stuff like this. But I’ll be here for you as long as you treat me right.”
