After a few rounds of shooting practice with my boys, I went back to Natalie’s place. She came to the door to let me in and was wearing an apron on top of her shorts and tank top.

“Damn baby. You look sexy as hell in that apron,” I told her as I followed her back into the kitchen. She laughed as she went over to the stove and stirred one of the pots. “What you cooking?”

“Dinner.”

“For me?” I said as I came up behind her and put my hands on her hips.

“Yes,” she said as she turned to face me. We shared a kiss that didn’t seem to be long enough for me; they never did.

“I missed you,” I told her.

“I missed you too, baby. Where were you?”

“Hanging out with the boys.”

“Oh yeah,” she said as I backed away from her and leaned against the counter that was opposite of the stove. “So what’s next? You going back home?”

“Why? Are you kicking me out already?”

“No,” she said with a sigh as she walked over to me and leaned her body into mine. “I want you to stay, but I think that you should go back. I mean, you’ll have to face all of this eventually, right?”

I grimaced at the thought of having to deal with everything that had been going on. At that moment I wished that I could just run away from it all and live happily ever after with Natalie. But she was right. This was something that I couldn’t run from.

“Look Darius, I know that this is hard for you,” she told me. “I mean, all of this shit is really messed up. But I know that you can handle it. I believe in you, baby.”

I sighed as I continued to look at her. “I may be able to handle it, but I don’t want to. At least not right now.” Leaving my embrace, she went back over to the stove.

“Well, what about D.J.?” she said, her back now to me. “I mean, I know that you didn’t like the way that he came at you, but he is your brother.”

“He’s my half-brother, baby. And I wish that he would just go back to wherever the hell he came from,” I said.

“Well, don’t you get any ideas,” she said.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, slightly confused.

Her response was delayed but she finally said, “What I mean is, don’t make him go away the way that you made KaRon go away.”

“Why the hell you gotta bring that shit up?” I stopped myself because I knew that I was getting upset and was about to go off on her. Just like any relationship we had our moments when we made each other mad, but I always tried to control my anger with her. I knew that my temper could be hard to handle when it came out full force.

She turned around to face me, almost like she was daring me to explode on her.

“Natalie, you know how I feel about you bringing that up.
