Tiana

Walking into the house, Deja sat on the couch while I locked the door behind me.

"Where'd he go?" I asked softly and she pointed upstairs.

"Calm his ass down, Tiana. I don't know what's wrong with that nigga but he ain't good. Don't let him lie and tell you that he is." She told me and I nodded.

Slowly, I made my way up the stairs and when I did I walked into the room and Dom was leaning on the wall. He didn't even look at me when I came in.

Saying nothing, I made my way over to him and stood in front of him.

"Babe." I spoke softly and he looked down at me with a glare in his eyes.

"Baby, just talk to me." I spoke calmly, just wanting him to relax.

"Tell me how you really feel."

"I know you always want to protect my feelings and not say the wrong things but you can't keep your anger bottled up like this."

"It's okay to be upset. It's okay to be in your feelings." I explained to him and he just listened to me.

"I know you're upset about me not being pregnant."

"I know you are.." I trailed off and he turned his head away from me, scoffing.

I could tell this was eating him up.

"But you can't to take your anger out on other people. Just talk to me, that's what I'm here for, Dominic."

"I'm good, T." He finally spoke, looking down into my eyes and I shook my head.

"Oh.."

"So you just beating that man half to death in front of me was you being good ?"

"Nearly killing him was you being good?" I went on and he scoffed.

"What the fuck you want from me?" He asked, making me furrow my eyebrows.

"You want me to be sorry because I'm not. I don't give a fuck about him and if you wun' here I would've killed him. I should've killed him."

"You should've kill him?" I asked, my heart breaking just watching him pretend like he wasn't hurting.

"Yeah, I should've.."

"I don't give a fuck about nun' of this shit nomore. I don't." He went on, making me shake my head.

"You don't care?" I asked and he just looked at me.

"You don't care about going to jail? Being away from Deja? Being away from me? For nothing.."

"Do you not care about that?" I asked again and he shrugged.

"Fine." I turned on my heels about to leave but he quickly grabbed me pulling me back to him.

"Don't touch me, Dominic."

"Aight, baby. Chill." He spun me around and I just looked up at him.

"I care, T." He sighed deeply, leaning down and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Then stop pretending you don't." I fussed at him seriously.

"Just express your feelings. Why do you have to be so hard all the time, Dominic?"

"You could've killed that man, then you'd be arrested and then what?"

"Huh?" I went on and he nodded, looking down at me.

"All because you're upset about something that has nothing to even do with him."

"I know, ma."

"I know." He spoke, mushing his head into the crook of my neck.

"And I apologize to you."

"Do you?" I raised my eyebrows as I hugged him tight.

"Yes. I apologize."

"I'm serious, Dominic." I tried to pull away but he didn't let me. He simply held onto me tighter.

"Baby, I'm serious witcha. I fucked up, I let my emotions get the best of me." He expressed as he finally pulled back to look into my eyes.

"I should've just told you that I was still upset about you not being pregnant."

"And what else?" I challenged making him smirk.

"And I should've just talked to you instead of taking my anger out on that bitch ass nigga." He mumbled the last part, looking away from me.

"See." I grabbed his face, making him look at me.

"You see how easy it is to express your feelings. I love this Dominic, can we see more of him?" I shook my head with a smile as he did the same.

"I love you so much." I couldn't help but to blurt out as I looked into his eyes.

Though I knew he'd almost killed a man seconds ago, I also knew my baby was just misunderstood, he was really a sweetheart when it came down to it.

"And I don't ever want to see you like that again." I expressed to him and he nodded.

"I love you too, ma." He spoke seriously, bending down to kiss me.

"And I promise to never do no shit like that in front of you again."

"You promise?" I asked and he nodded.

"You keep me sane, T."

"And I'm happy to still have you here after everything we been through."

"I'll never leave you." I assured him, standing on the tips of my toes to kiss him.

"Never."

* That night

Put that on my life, everything I love. Never crossed no line.

It was all because I dedicate my life, To lovin' you right.

Love comes before pride. I loved you before I-I-I-I

'Fore I even knew why.

How did we get away from love?, How did love get away from us?

Not my time, I should wait for love. Waste of time, what a waste of love

You became my life (You became my life). Put that on my life (Put that on my life)

Took me out my mind (Took me out my mind). Took my peace of mind.

I never realized (I never realized). You were my light (You were my light)

Without you by my side (Without you by my side).

That just don't feel right.

"I love you." His raspy voice spoke, looking up to me as I rode him slowly.

"You love me?" I asked and he nodded slowly.

"I love you too." I looked into his eyes as we kept eye contact, moving our hips in sync.

The music luckily played loudly from his speaker, drowning out my moans as he began to pick up his pace.

"Harder." I begged as he pushed his hips faster, making the sound of our skins slapping together fill the room.

"Fuck!" I screamed out, scratching at his chest, digging into skin.

"Damn, baby." He chuckled while I threw my head back.

Grabbing me tightly, he flipped us over and got on top.

"You takin' this dick." He encouraged, lifting my left leg.

"Mm." I moaned, furrowing my eyebrows.

"Look at me." He spoke sternly and I slowly opened my eyes.

"I'm taking this condom off, baby." He went on to say, making my eyes go wide.

"Huh?" I moaned softly, confused what he was trying to do.

"I wun' feel you, ma."

"Can I do that?" He asked and I hesitated.

We still weren't even together and knowing how he felt about the baby situation, I just didn't think it was a good idea but we were both in deep right now.

"I promise I ain't gon' get you pregnant, T. I just wun' feel you and I wun' you to feel me."

"Okay." I spoke softly as he leaned in to kiss my lips.

"You promise?" I asked again for assurance while his lips were still attached to mine.

"I promise." He spoke against my lips before pulling away.

Leaning back up, I watched as he pulled out of me and slowly took off the condom. He then positioned himself back in front of me and looked into my eyes.

"You're mine." He spoke sternly as he roughly entered me again, making my eyes roll to the back of my head.

"Let me hear you say that shit, ma." He encouraged.

"I'm yours." I agreed as he grabbed my neck.

"Huh?" He asked, penetrating me.

"I'm yours." I moaned out .

"Scream that shit." He went harder, making me scream out.

"I'm yours!"

"Better be."
