**********

I sat in front of Reese’s apartment with a stolen bottle of Hennessey in my lap. When he didn’t show up in the afternoon like he usually did I figured he was at the studio. I drove by and saw his truck parked there, but as usual, he had a busload of his friends with him and I didn’t feel like being bothered with all of them. So I wasted as few hours at home and then drove here, where I’d been waiting patiently for him to come home. It was a little after ten and I was unusually sleepy, but I didn’t care. I had to do what I had to do to get my man back.

My stomach jumped as I watched his truck turn into the parking lot. I pulled out my compact mirror and checked my hair and makeup as he parked in his spot, got out, and made his way up the stairs. I didn’t want to scare him sitting there in the dark, so I stood to my feet and walked toward him. His face twisted when he recognized me.

“What the hell you doin’ here?” he asked, angry. “You stalkin’ me?”

This wasn’t going the way that I’d planned.

“No, Reese. Calm down.”

He rolled his eyes. Thinking quickly, I held out the bottle of alcohol.

“I brought you a gift.”

His demeanor changed at the thought of getting drunk. He was appreciative, and it showed when he took the bottle from me. “Thanks,” he said, and then paused. “Hold up. You ain’t old enough to buy this. Where you get this from?”

I smirked. “Don’t worry about it. I have my ways.”

He nodded dryly and walked past me toward his apartment.

“Wait a minute. Aren’t you gonna even talk to me?”

“For what?” he mouthed off. “What the hell are you even doing here, Nya?”

“I came to see you.”

“For what?”

“Because…”

He sighed, already irritated with me. “Go home, girl. I don’t even know why you came here. I don’t wanna see you.”

What was wrong with him? The last time we were together we were making love. Why was he being so cold? I couldn’t let it end like this. No, not after all I’d been through for him. Not after standing here in the dark, pregnant with his child. Not after running the chance of getting arrested and getting a record for stealing that bottle of alcohol for him.

“Reese, wait.”

He spun around quick. “Did you scratch up Lexi’s car?”

I swallowed hard. Lexi. How come everything was all about Lexi? I was the one carrying his baby, not that tramp!

“No,” I lied with a straight face.

He didn’t believe me. “You know that was jacked up what you did. You lucky she couldn’t find you, ‘cause she sho’ did go looking for you.”

I was offended. “You would have let her hurt me?”

He smacked his lips. “That was between y’all. And if you did do that to her car then you deserve to get got. You ain’t have no business doin’ that. You crazy.”

Crazy? Crazy!

If I was crazy it was for being in love with him, not scratching up some stupid girl’s car.
