“We were in the wrong!” I mumbled lowly. No, we weren’t! Help Praylah and stop feeling guilty! Fuck Lakendra! This isn’t about her!

“I dogged her though! Dogged her bad, she had every right to fucking cheat!” I started pacing, I needed to feel justified right now. Anger was soaring through me, I needed a cigarette, something to take the edge off. Praylah looked up at me with bewilderment as if she was confused on what I was talking about.

Putting her medication down on the table, I turned to walk away and out of her house. Seeing her fucked up was fucking me and my mental up. She fucked an enemy so I beat her ass!

“I gotta get some help.” I placed my hand on the doorknob and reached for the door.

“Matthew?” I froze and that voice in my head stopped raging.

“I need you right now.” Her voice was weak, my heart slowed down and I turned to face her, still feeling on edge. I couldn’t leave her even if I wanted to. She needed me, and I was starting to believe that I needed her.

Chapter Eight

DEBO

“I don’t know if he’s going to pop up. I don’t want to cause you any problems.” We stood inside Praylah’s small bathroom. She still hadn’t admitted to her nigga doing her dirty but she didn’t have to, I already knew the deal. That nigga beat her cold and she stood in front of me terrified as fuck.

“If that nigga walk through that door, you shouldn’t fear for me. You should fear for him.” I didn’t even want to scare her by going into detail. I had already made it my business to find her baby daddy and dead him.

“I love him.” I tugged at her shirt and she caught the bottom of it. Seeing the reluctance in her eyes, I eyed her hard. Her cheeks were flushed red. I didn’t give a damn about how hard or how much she loved that nigga. Soon, that shit would go away.

“Praylah, let me help you sugar mommy.” I playfully smirked at her. She agreed back in the living room to take her medicine and asked me did I have some form of medication. I knew she asked that shit because of me randomly talking to myself. I was determined to beat my shit; I didn’t feel like nothing was really wrong with me to be taking crazy pills.

“You’re gonna be disgusted if you see me naked.” She looked away and I grabbed her chin and made her eyes connect with mine.

“Nah, I like all yo thickness. That shit sexy as fuck. What’s gon’ disgust me is all this thickness being funky. I’m trying to bathe you from head to toe then take you up out of here for the rest of the day. Can I do that?” She blushed and slowly nodded her head. Happy that she didn’t bother asking me any other questions, I undressed and left her clothes right in the middle of the bathroom floor.

She turned and I bit down on my bottom lip. Praylah’s body was sexy as hell. Her giving me that round curvy ass to watch as she got into the shower had me removing my gun slowly from waist and sitting it down on the counter. I stripped down and got in right behind her, I needed to be hands on with her. Start giving her that confidence that she needed, she was a bad as fuck and I hated that she didn’t see it in herself.

I couldn’t stop my dick from rising. Her red hair had darkened from the water pouring over her head. She stiffened in front of me, she felt my dick as I turned her around to face me.

“You so fuckin’ pure, beautiful as hell. I need you to see that.” I cupped her round face and kissed her slowly. I watched her wince and close her eyes as my tongue entered her awaiting my mouth, tears started seeping out the corners of her eyes. Placing my hands on her shoulders, I began massaging her shoulder blades moving my hands up to her neck then back out until I gripped her shoulders. I picked up a pink washcloth, I laid her head on my chest and reached for her Dove soap. Lathering the towel until it was soapy, I started at her neck and scrubbed her back.

I could feel her trembling in my arms as I moved the towel between her ass cheeks. This was a whole lot of ass, so I wasn’t cleaning between her cheeks on some soft shit. I was really getting up in there, making sure she was getting cleaned properly.

I never bathed a woman a day in my life, this was some new shit. It made me feel good tending to her in this intimate way. I wanted to fuck all the love she had for her pussy ass baby daddy out of her. Rinsing the towel out, I grabbed her sponge loaf and worked my way around her body like I was already well acquainted with it.

Hearing her sigh and moan from my hands touching all over her had me ready to pin her ass against her shower walls and take her ass down. Self-control was a bitch right now, that shit was slipping through my fingertips.

I made her rinse all the soap off, then went in again bathing her while gripping and grabbing her wet body.

“You want to get away from that nigga?” She looked at me desperately and nodded her head yes.

“Good, I got a spot close by Beastly Cravings. I don’t want shit from you in return. You can even pay me rent. It’s nothing fancy it’s clean and safe for you and your daughter. I won’t even pop up acting like you owe me something. I just want to help you to move forward and heal.”

Only thing I truly wanted in return when she got over this bitch ass niggas of hers was her heart and soul. Little did she know she already had my shit in her soft delicate hands. Just like that, I already decided that she was mine.

“That will work, I’m really done this time. I don’t like how I feel this go round. The way he looked at me and talked, his hands…” she shivered and trembled even though the water was scorching hot.

“Don’t even speak on it, I’m gon’ see about him real soon.” I looked off trying to remain calm.

“Matter fact, we don’t got to discuss nothing right now. I just want you in a better headspace. I don’t ever want to hear you talk about yourself like you did in the living room.”

“Okay.” Was all she said as my eyes left hers and scanned the rest of her slippery wet luscious body.

“I got a car you can use too.” I offered already knowing she was gone try to decline. I planned on giving her Kachella’s twenty-nineteen BMW. It was all pink, I bought it for her two birthdays ago. Now that shit sat in the garage collecting dust.

“I’ll have it ready for you in a couple of days. Until then, I’ll pick you up and take you to work.” I wasn’t trying to strip her of her independence, I probably was creeping her out enough by being so generous.
