Chapter 5
Horus
I huffed out a breath and realized she was still there pushed against the wall of the shower. The water running and her breathing made me forget that we just had s*x in her shower. This time I started it. Holy s**t I started it. I slowly put her back down and she looks up at me and smiles.
"Malik I want to keep this, us. I want a relationship with you" she says reaching for hair products. Then she offers me some since you know we're still in the shower. I take it and realize I'll be smelling like her.
"Mia I would like that very much" I say kissing her forehead. I look at her and she's blushing.
My guess would have to be he never did a lot of things to show he loved her. Her actions say everything. What if he comes looking for her and his daughter. The conversation I shouldn't have heard seemed like the friend mislead him into thinking she was pregnant. She can't have kids. Gods I don't want to think about that horrible woman being a mother. She finished her showered and got out. Damn I hadn't realized she had finished her shower so quickly.
'Malik do you want to go shopping today" she says only a towel on her head.
"Shopping" I turn the water off and step out of the shower.
"Yes. I mean unless you don't to"
'What are we shopping for" I must be staying more. Plus I have been in the same clothes for two days.
She doesn't know that I come from money basically and I could buy whatever she needed. She could have the world literally could if she wanted to.
"Clothes, tooth brushes, um I also need certain things"
"Yea we can go" if I flash money around would she still like me for me or became a different person.
"Malik you want to get dressed to first" she says blushing
"What's wrong with me standing here like this"
"It's distracting" she says putting her underwear on.
"And you're not" she froze
"Malik I would hardly call me that" I watched her put her bra on next. Those breast of hers were perky and that damn bra made them look bigger. The tight fitting shirt didn't help. Her shorts hugged her ass perfectly. Leaving me to imagine what she would feel like again for the fourth time. I pull my shirt over my head.
"Mia how do you feel about this" I say sitting down on the bed man spreading putting my hands down.
"What do you mean" she turns around to see me look as sexy as I possibly could.
"Mia. I mean how do you feel about me" she looked shocked.
"Malik I like you and the s*x is great. If we keep going for a relationship that will take time for me to truly might be more but we need take it at a pace I'm ok with"
I wasn't excepting an answer like that. Maybe I should just stop trying to take it to fast and appreciate the beautiful woman I have in front of me.
"Mia appreciate you and I'm sorry" I say getting up and wrapping my arms around her waist. I kissed her neck gently. She flinched.
This guy really put her through the ringer. That made me angry. Flinching at the simplest touch or kiss. If he abused her I will unleash the fury of the gods upon him. She shouldn't be flinching.
"Malik are you ok" she asked noticing me lost in thought.
"Mia. I noticed something"
"Yes" she says.
"Who hurt you"
"What do you mean"
"Who hurt you" I felt a rage building inside me.
She noticed and moved away from me. Ready for a match. She placed herself in a stance that would knock me out if I wasn't a god. I slowly approached her with my hands up by my face. That's why she was caught fighting growing up. I mean the way she looks. She still stood there and her foot slightly moved into place. I froze. This hurt she feels makes me want to burn the world down for her.
"Who hurt you" I asked again with more sorrow in my voice. She froze and dropped her stance realizing I'm not a threat.
"I was 13 and I was r***d at a party by three boys. Older boys all because I looked like a 16 year old" she paused and a tear tried to escape her eye but she blinked it away "After it happened that time and I filed a report and they went to prison. The case was set and proofed. Then when they're rich friends caught wind of this they had a go. After that I learned to defend to myself" Her face looked different.
"Mia let's go shopping" I said with more sorrow. She looked shocked. If only she knew that I will burn the world down for her safety and her kid.
Chapter 6
Mia
He looked like he was going to hurt people and then realized that I was going to protect myself.
"Shopping" I asked.
"You seem like you need it" he says.
"That might make me feel better" I say grabbing my things.
He just didn't say anything after that. I feel if he knew how I got pregnant with my daughter he would certainly burn the world down. Beau wasn't the gentle type at first. I was still learning to protect myself from people like him. Kaity doesn't know the anger that he can carry. The bruises I hid. Kaity will find out soon enough if she hasn't already. We get out to the street and for some reason Beau choose to be looking for that day. s**t Malik will tear him to pieces. Maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Mia" he walks up and keeps a good bit of distance between us.
"What do you want"
"Just an answer"
"Which is"
"Why didn't you tell that you know" he shrugged his shoulders.
"Like I said I wanted to but Kaity was there"
"Kaity said she was with child first"
"Yea and what happened to it. Beau she lied to you and whatever dream you had died when you left me for her" I could feel Malik getting closer. Like he was drawn to me. Like some sort of force was pulling him back to me.
"Kaity is never going to be able to have kids is she"
"You know my dear friend Henry"
"Yea"
"You should of just let of him kick her to curb"
"He knew and didn't tell me'
I walked up to his ear as I could feel Malik coming back around the corner.
"You're lucky I didn't beat you when you first hit me. Does your precious wife Kaity know you used to abused me and how your daughter came to be" I whispered as his eyes grew bigger.
"Mia"
"Just stand there and listen before Malik gets into ear shot. Trust me Beau you're part of the reason I learned to defend to myself considering you took a page out of a book I should of never told you about. Now you and miserable wife can stay how you are. You're going to leave me and my daughter alone or else I will end you" I finished whispering in his ear in enough time for Malik to be in ear shot.
"Mia" he says noticing that Malik was coming back around the corner. That's when the reality set in that Malik was bigger and stronger then him.
"Malik" I say kissing him right in front of Beau.
"Beau" Malik says with a little venom in his voice.
Is it possible that Malik actually heard me. No he'd have to be a super human and those don't exist.
"I should get going" He says and I stand like I'm not budging. I grabbed Maliks' arm and gently squeezed his for him to back down.
"Let's go Mia" he says pulling my hand and I follow.
"Mia don't make the same mistake twice"
I felt Malik tense up and he froze. Before I knew it Malik was gone and Beau was in the air. Struggling against Malik. His hands flying at Malik.
"Malik drop him" I say and he looks so full of rage.
"Mia" Beau chocked out
"Malik there's people" I say and he puts him down.
"You stay away from me Beau and I mean it"
"Funny that you two slept together already isn't it"
"Beau you need to leave me alone. My life with you ended four years ago"
He stumbled up to his feet. He just realized yet again what a man looks like protecting someone instead of beating them.
