CHAPTER THIRTEEN #3
"Fuck, I'm gonna….oh shit, Trigg, I'm—" She came hard, her whole body tensing up, her pussy pulsing around my fingers.
She cried out, her good hand gripping my head, but I didn't stop.
I kept licking her through it, drawing out her orgasm until she was pushing my head away, because her clit got too sensitive.
I pulled back and looked at her. And her eyes were glazed over, and a thin sheen of sweat was on her skin. Beautiful.
I climbed back up her body and kissed her deep, letting her taste herself on my tongue. She moaned into my mouth, her hand coming up to cup my face.
When we pulled apart, she was looking at me with something I couldn't quite name. Something deeper than lust.
"That was..." she started, but couldn't seem to find the words.
"Just the beginning," She bit her lip.
"You want me to—"
"Nah. I’m good Ma," I kissed her forehead. "Tonight was about you. You been through enough shit today." She looked like she wanted to protest, but then she just nodded, pulling me closer to her.
"Stay with me tonight, Please."
"I gotchu’."
We laid in silence after that, her head was on my chest, and my arm around her. Eventually I felt her breathing even out and I knew she had fallen asleep.
I stayed awake for a while longer, just holding her, thinking about everything. About how right this felt. About how I wasn't letting her go back to Rah. About how everything changed tonight.
Eventually, I felt my own eyes getting heavy and I finally let myself drift off too.

I woke up to my phone vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out carefully, trying not to wake Mya up, and saw a text from Sosa.
Sosa: Yo where you at? We need to talk about last night.
I typed back quick.
Me: I'll slide later. I'm good.
I looked at the time, it was 5:04 AM. The room was still dark except for those string lights, and Mya was still sleeping next to me, curled up against my chest. Her mouth was slightly open, soft snores coming from her.
I knew I needed to leave before Yatta got home and found me in his sister's bed, especially after what we just did. That would be a whole situation I wasn't ready to deal with. But part of me didn't want to move.
Carefully, I shifted and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. She stirred a little but didn't wake up.
"I got you ma, I promise," I whispered, even though she couldn't hear me.
Then I eased myself off the bed as quietly as possible, grabbed my shoes, and crept out of her room. I made my way downstairs, unlocked the front door, then stepped out onto the porch.
The sun was just starting to come up, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange. I sat on the porch steps for a minute, just thinking.
Last night changed everything. And I knew I wasn't about to let her go. I liked shorty way too fucking much.
I pulled out my phone and sent her a text, even though I knew she was still sleeping.
Me: Left the door unlocked. Hit my line when you get up, and dead that shit wit Rah fr. That shit over with.
I hit send, jogged down to my car, and pulled off.

One week later…
"Bruh, she don't need all that," I said, watching Kynessa toss another outfit into the shopping bag. We was at the mall picking up some shit for Nova since she kept growing out of everything.
"Yes she do," Kynessa shot back, holding up a little pink dress.
"Look how cute this is."
I looked at my niece in Kynessa's arms. Nova was chewing on her fist, drool everywhere, not giving a single fuck about the dress.
"She six months old. She don’t care how cute that shit is, all she gon do is spit up on it."
"So what, Babies need cute clothes too." Kynessa added it to the bag anyway.
I just shook my head and pulled out my card when we got to the register. We left the store and I was carrying the bags while Kynessa had Nova on her hip. I was telling her about some shit Tasha told me the other day when I felt someone staring at me. I looked up and my eyes landed on Ya'Mya.
She was standing across the corridor with her sister Yah-Yah. She was staring dead at me, and the look on her face...damn. Shorty looked like she was ready to tear my head off my shoulders.
Before I could say anything, she was already moving. Storming toward me with her face all scrunched up, her braids swinging with each step. I felt my jaw tighten, already knowing what this was about.
"Oh shit," I muttered under my breath.
"What?" Kynessa looked where I was looking and saw Ya'Mya approaching fast.
Shorty walked right up on us with her arms crossed over her chest, and her eyes blazing with fury.
"Are you fucking serious right now?" she snapped, I just looked at her, my face was blank and I didn't say shit.
"You got a baby?" She gestured at Nova, then at Kynessa. "And a whole bitch? And you was at my crib last week talking all that shit about feeling me? About me being yours?"
Kynessa's face changed instantly. "Whole bitch?" She shifted Nova on her hip, "See nah, you need to chill because who the fuck you calling a bitch?"
"I’m talking to you, why you over here playing house with this nigga, and he just had my pussy in his mouth." Mya shot back.
"Bitch you need to chill the fuck out and watch yo’ mouth hoe in front of my kid. You don't know me I’ll fuck you up," Kynessa started stepping forward but I put my hand out, stopping her.
"Ky, chill," I said, my voice low and firm. Then I turned back to Ya'Mya, and I let a slow smirk spread across my face.
"Shorty, You done?"
"Am I done?" Mya's voice went up. "Nigga, you got me fucked up. I got shot and you…"
"Nah, you got shot 'cause your pussy ass ex left you," I cut her off, "and I’m the nigga that helped you, don’t mistake me for that nigga and don't get this shit twisted."
Her mouth opened then closed. I could see the hurt flash across her face before her anger came back stronger.
"Fuck you, Trigg." Her voice was shaking now.
"You ain't shit. Just like every other nigga out here, out here lying and shit, but gotta a whole fucking family.” She turned to storm off but I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
She tried to snatch away but I held firm, leaning down close to her ear.
"Where the fuck you think you going?" My voice was low so only she heard me.
"Get off me—" she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Nah." I tightened my grip just a little. "You came over here running your fucking mouth, and you don’t even know what you talking about, but now you gon' walk away? That ain't how this shit works, ma."
She looked up at me, her eyes watering but she refused to let the tears fall. Damn, she looked good even when she was mad. That fire in her eyes just made me want her more.
"Let me go," she said through clenched teeth.
I released her wrist and she immediately turned and walked away fast, her sister scrambling to keep up.
Kynessa looked at me. "Trigg, what the fuck was that?"
"That wasn’t shit you gotta worry about. It’s all good,” I told Kynessa as I watched Mya's back as she headed toward the exit.
"It seems like I should be worried, fuck you mean.”
"Nah you good. Like I said," I handed her the bags. "Go take Nova to the car. I'll meet you in a minute."
"Trigg—"
"Now, Ky."
She looked like she wanted to say something else but thought better of it. "Aight. But you better straighten this shit out 'cause I ain't gon deal with random bitches running up on me."
