It Would Be You

Chapter1 Keyanna : “ Pinch me if I’m dreaming , as a matter of fact. I take that back. Let me lay there please, inside of your love. Listening to your heartbeat, girl there ain’t feeling better then feeling on your body. Girl don’t you move a muscle. I just want to touch you. If you ever took your love away. I can truly say I’d die right here today. Don’t give me the world. I just want my girl. If I could have anything. I put it on everything, that it would be you, you, you. I just want you.” Trey songz.   Keyanna ran her fingers through Elias curly hair. She could not believe that she had found love again after getting out of a horrible marriage. Eli as she called him was a gift from God. No he wasn’t perfect but she’d slap anybody that said anything different. He treated her like a queen. He loved her and accepted her two children as if they were his own. She accepted his daughter as well. The only problem was lately her ex Mykell had come back in the picture and he had been trying to do everything he could do to break them up. Eli wasn’t worried about it, but it bothered Keyanna. She was with him for 6 years. They were married for 3 years but the entire relationship was horrible. He cheated, lied, verbal and physically abused her. Maybe the first year they were together was good and that was up until she found out that he was cheating. Her heart was broken. She’d really loved him. She’d given him her all. She’d cut ties with family and friends to be with him because nobody liked him. He was the only thing that mattered to her, but he showed her every day how she meant nothing to him. She remembered when she was pregnant with their first child Isaiah how she found out that he was cheating on her. She was so devasted. Her whole world was crumbling down. Not only was he cheating but he was in a relationship with another woman. It worked out for him because the woman lived in another city. She lived an hour away from them. They were laying in the bed together after a hot round of s*x and his phone went off. He went to the bathroom, and she grabbed the phone and that’s when her life changed forever. She saw the messages. The girl knew everything about her, but she knew nothing about this girl. When he came out the bathroom, she threw the phone at him and all hell broke loose. The only thing he said was “Why you mess with my phone.” Then he proceeded to say that the girl didn’t mean anything to him. Later on she found out that was a big lie. It seemed like she competed with the girl up until her son was about 6 months old. He went back and forth between the two of them. It was sad but she loved him and wanted to keep her son in a two-parent household, even if it meant losing her sanity. Then one day she got the nerve and told him that he had to choose or he’d never see her or his son again. He chose them. That was one incident, but it didn’t end there. It seem like it was girl after girl. Every time she logged onto f*******: or i********:, she found him on some girl’s page. He was either liking or commenting on the picture. He was bolding trying to get the girl’s number, but he’d flip on her just for a guy liking on her picture. She felt like an FBI agent trying to keep up with him. He would get offended an unfollow her or create a new page. It was just too much. Then one day she gave him an ultimatum. It was let’s end this and co parent or do right by me and marry me. He chose to marry her. However, he did the right thing by marrying her, but he still didn’t change. They had their second child the year before they got married. They welcomed their second son Keyon and it seemed like things just got worse after that. He made her seem like she was wrong for doing the right things. She worked, cooked, cleaned, took care of her children, and did everything she should as a wife. However, no matter what she did it was never good enough for him. Then he started doing drugs and got caught up in some illegal activity and had to do some serious time. He was mad that she didn’t want to stay with him for that, but she did not care that was her breaking point she had, had enough. God had sent Elias into her life for a reason, and she was thankful for that. Funny story she met him on i********:, she usually didn’t reply to guys that wrote her online. It was something about him though. The had like two mutual friends. He did a quick introduction and skeptically she replied after looking at his pictures. That was the best decision she made. They exchanged numbers and talked everyday for a few months before she got the courage to meet with him in person. His job was demanding and required him to travel in and out of town so that was another reason they didn’t meet up right away. He was a CEO of a very lucrative company. He was damn near a millionaire, but he was so down to earth. He was 6’2, slim muscular build. He was the color of cocoa not too dark but not too light. He had a few tattoos, that let you know he had a bad boy side to him. He had the prettiest teeth and smile. He was a single parent because his ex-wife died of cancer two years ago. He had been raising his 6-year-old daughter Zion alone for the last two years. He had help from his family, but it was nothing like having a woman being there. She could not believe her luck. The day the finally met up which was at La Caretta’s for dinner. She was so shocked. He was even more handsome in person then what he was on i********:. She was so nervous. She had bought new clothes and got her hair done and tried to look presentable for the occasion. But looking at him she didn’t feel like what she had on was good enough. Maybe he sensed her hesitation because he walked right up to her, and he wrap his big strong arms around her and hugged her. It wasn’t too tight or too lose but it felt just right. It felt like home to her. He stepped back and introduced himself and told her how beautiful she looked and opened the door for her. They walked into the restaurant. They ate and talked the entire dinner. When they finished, she felt like a teenager with a high school crush. She’d never met a man so handsome and so polite. He paid for everything. He walked her to her car and kissed her goodnight. He told her he’ d call and make sure she made it home safe. He did and they stayed on the phone talking all night. Chapter2:Keyanna Every chance they got they went out on a date. Keyanna would offer to pay for the date because she did not want him to think that she was using him for his money but he would refuse her offer. She didn’t make much being a teacher, but it was decent career and it had its benefits. However, she made enough to hold her own. She didn’t want Eli to think that she needed him. He was a want. She was an independent woman. The last man she needed hurt her to the core. He left her with two boys to raise alone because of his foolish decisions. Anyway here they were a year later engaged and a few weeks away from their wedding and Mykell had just got out of prison. He wanted to see the boys. She did not mind him seeing them but she did not want to see him. He had sent so many letters apologizing to her asking her to take him back and as much as she hated him. She still had a soft spot for him. She really loved and cared about Eli but she was afraid that if she was around Mykell that she would ruin that. She had to think with her head and not her heart. Mykell was toxic. He was no good for her or her boys. He could never do what Eli could do for her emotionally or physically. Eli was her soul tie. She’d prayed for him. She’d prayed for God to send her next husband and he did. She wasn’t about to mess that up for a teenage relationship gone wrong. Every insecurity she had with Mykell she did not have to worry about with Eli. She watched how women eyed him in public, but she watched how he made it known that he was taken. He had her picture on his i********: page. He let the world know that they were together. That was something Mykell refused to do. When they made love, he was patient and he tended to her body so good that she felt it in her soul. She didn’t have to tell him what to do. She never felt cheated. s*x with him was always like an outer body experience. She was rubbing his hair that was something he loved. She was about to tell him that she was pregnant. He wanted more children. She really didn’t but for him she’d do anything. She was hoping for a girl because she had two boys and she knew he would want a boy since he had a daughter. However, that decision would be up to God not them. She politely lifted his head off her lap. “What’s wrong honey, why did you move my head?” he asked looking concerned. She smiled nervously. “ Bae I have something to tell you and I don’t know how you’re going to take it but… she paused and looked away. He grabbed her face. He got serious “Keyanna you’re not trying to leave me are you?” she laughed and rolled her eyes. “ No honey that’s not it.” She grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach and smiled. He looked at her face to confirm it before he started jumping up and down. “ We having a baby!” she laughed as she watched him jump up and down and dance. “Yes honey we’re having a baby. You finally trapped me.” She said laughing. He rolled his eyes and laughed “baby you were trapped the day you let me get a taste of that good good.” He said grinding up against her. She couldn’t help but laugh. That’s what she loved about their relationship. Their chemistry was undeniable, and they loved to joke with each other. “ If you don’t stop you gone end up laid out on this couch with me riding you reverse cowgirl.” She said laughing but that wasn’t a joke for him. Because he took her into his arms and begin kissing her like there was no tomorrow. Shortly after she ended up in the exact same position, and a few more that she could sworn that he created. He was creative in the bedroom. “Alright crouching tiger I have to get up and go get the boys from my mom’s. Do you need me to pick up Zion on my way back?” he smacked her on the butt and smiled “You’re such an amazing woman honey. That’s why I love you so much and yes you can pick up Zion you know she’s always happy to see you.” She smiled and kissed his lips gently “I love you too Eli I’m so grateful to have you in my life. I love Zion as if she was my own daughter. Now leave me alone so I can shower right quick and go.” She said laughing. She hopped in the shower for a few minutes then got dressed and headed out to get the kids. Chapter3:Keyanna “Hey mama”, I said walking into my mother’s two-story brick home. My mother was a retired nurse. She was also divorced and lonely, so she didn’t mind getting the boys. “Hey Key-key baby we in here in the game room.” She hollered. I walked upstairs to the game room. It was the fun room in the house. It had a pool table and other sorts of fun games for the kids to do. “Hey mama, “the boys said running towards me hugging me tight. “Hey my handsome sons. Have ya’ll been good for grandma?” they looked at each other before they answered smiled and screamed in unison “Yes mama!” I laughed because I knew that wasn’t true. My boys weren’t bad, but they could be mischievous, and my mom let them have their way. “How’s everything going baby girl? You look happy.” “I am happy mama Eli is my soul tie mama. I can’t wait to marry him.” “Then what’s the hesitation baby girl?” “Mykell is out of jail mama, and he wants to see the boys and I just feel like he’s going to try to sabotage my relationship.” “He can’t sabotage anything unless you let him. Don’t give him the opportunity to. That man broke you in every way possible baby. Don’t lose this good man for that no-good piece of shit.” She said fanning herself. Mama always got worked up when she talked about Mykell she hated him. She watched how he drug me through hell and back. “I don’t plan to let him mama but you know how persistent and ignorant Mykell is. I really love Eli and we’re expecting.” I said holding my stomach. “I was wondering why you were glowing. I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner then what it did, but everything happens in God’s timing.” She said smiling “Your right mama, and good thing the wedding is a few weeks away and I’m not showing because that would throw everything off.” “How far along are you?’’ “I’m not sure because I haven’t been to the doctor yet but maybe two months.” “Key-key you missed your period for two months and didn’t think that you were pregnant?” “No mama I was thinking hormone imbalance or stress anything but pregnancy.” “Girl I don’t know why you thought that I see you and Eli that man can’t keep his hands off you. Ya’ll are good for each other, and I love that. What did he say? Is he happy?” “Yes he’s happy. He was planning our life before we actually became a couple kids included lol.” “That man knew who and what he wanted. Be glad you got a man like that darling.” I smiled and walked towards the door. “Come on boys we have to go pick up Zion. Kiss grandma goodbye.” They gave her a hug and kiss goodbye and we left. I drove to Mr. Williams house that was Eli’s dad. Eli’s mom died when he was 10 from breast cancer so his dad raised him alone. His situation was so similar to Zion’s. I ring the doorbell. Mr. Williams came to the door. He and Eli were the spitting image of each other. He was just a little taller and had gray hair. “Hey Mr. Williams, I came to get Zion.” “Hey Keyanna, what I tell you about calling me that call me John.” He said giving me a hug. I laughed because no matter how many times he said that I still didn’t feel comfortable calling him by his first name. “She’s ready let me get her give me a minute dear.” He said walking inside to go get her. A few minutes later he came downstairs with Zion. She was the spitting image of Eli but she had her mother’s color. She also had dimples and pretty, thick curly hair. She smiled when she saw me “Hey key- key.” She said jumping in my arms like she was a baby and not the 5-year-old that she was. “Hey, Zion, are you ready to go big girl?” “Yes I’m ready to come have fun with you because pop pop is boring.” she said laughing. We all laughed. She had no filter she said whatever came to her mind, as most children did. “Well okay Zion don’t be so hard on pop pop he does the best he can to keep you occupied while you’re here but he’s no spring chicken anymore.” I said making the chicken gesture causing her and pop pop to laugh. “Keyanna that’s why I love you girl. You always know what to do to keep her happy. No wonder why my son loves you. If I was a few years younger, I’d steal you from him.” He said elbowing me and laughing. “Alright John watch it now. Don’t make your son pop up and kill both of us.” I said laughing. He laughed too. “You laughing dear but the way my son feels about you he might just take me out over you.” I had to laugh then. “How does he feel about me?” “I’m not gone tell you anything, but his actions show everything. Actions speak louder then words.” “ You are right John he shows me everyday how he feels about me and by the way you are going to be a grandpa again.” I said smiling “ I already knew I see how I could tell by how your skin was glowing but congratulations hopefully we get our boy. I can’t handle another Zion.” He said laughing. “Bye Mr. Williams” he shook his head “There you go again with that mess.  “ Come on Zion let’s go.” Chapter4: Elias  Keyanna was the best thing that happened to me. I met her last year on i********: through some mutual friends. I’m not the type of dude to meet chicks online but it was something about her natural beauty that captivated me. I took a chance and slid in her Dm and shot my shot. She replied she seemed kind of hesitant at first. I mean who could blame her, we literally only had two mutual friends. We started communicating through Dm then exchanged numbers and it was up from there. We talked every day, whether it was through text or over the phone. Because of my busy schedule it took a minute before we actually got to meet in person but when we did we were inseparable after that. I remember our first date. She was so beautiful. She wore a halter maxi dress that had slight split in it. Her hair was in a neat bun. She wore a little eye shadow and lipstick, but she was so gorgeous, but she felt so insecure. I could see the nervousness in her face. She was so small compared to my 6’2 frame. She was only 5’2. She was high yellow with light brown eyes and a mole right above her right check. Her body was proportioned perfectly she had just enough breast and just enough ass. She had a little gut but nothing drastic. I loved her body and her beauty. Anyway, I could sense her nervousness, so I took her into my arms and hugged her not too hard but just strong enough to get her to relax. But what I didn’t know was that it would feel like home. We had vibing through phone conversations and text messages but the feeling I got when I hugged her was surreal. We talked and enjoyed each other’s company that entire night. I had to kiss her goodnight. It was like electricity, the chemistry I felt just from kissing her. Then she made me wait three months before we slept together. It was all worth the wait. I’d slept with women on a casual level and had even tried to date but none of them had gave me the feeling that she had. Here we were a year later, and I still felt the love and chemistry between us. Then she’d just given me the best news ever. She’d just told me that she’s having my baby. I was the happiest man alive right now. My dad loved her, my daughter loved her and I loved her. She had two sons that I loved like they were my own. I felt like life couldn’t get any better than this. In a few weeks I was going to marry the woman of my dreams. She was worried about her ex that just got out of prison. I wasn’t sweating the dude. He could come see his kids, that’s it though. He wasn’t coming for my woman. Even if he tried, he’d have to see me first before I let that happen. He had his chance and he messed that up. I’m glad he messed up the way he did because if he didn’t, I wouldn’t have got the opportunity to meet her. You know what they say. What one man won’t do another one will. I was a very wealthy man too. I didn’t have to get my hands dirty to make him disappear. I was in the streets in my younger years, that’s why I got these tats. I got goons that’ll get rid of him for some change. When I love, I love hard. He ain’t about to take my woman. Like Pac said “I ain’t no killer, but don’t push me.” I had to get up and shower before my baby got back with the kids. She had put it on me so good I was still wore out. She rode me reverse cowgirl and man look that is bomb. I love having her on top of me. I love being inside of her. Her little ass can handle all 11 inches of me. As much as we get down, I’m surprised she just now getting pregnant, but everything happens when it’s supposed to. I can’t wait to see what our baby looks like.
