Kareem 👆😊

★★★★★

Motiesha been avoiding Ky'Mon for two weeks.

She couldn't deal with it. She knew he killed but she never thought she'd see it happen.

She was home alone with Koko at work and Kiesha in school and was currently staying with Lowe cos Tiesha knew he could handle her well. The older sister decided she had to get a job real soon whether Lowe liked it or not.

Tiesha was twenty-one but she was not interested in going back to school.

School is overrated anyway.

Ky'Mon had tried calling her severally and had sent different text messages. In the last two weeks, she'd gotten almost fifty calls and forty texts.

My King: pick ur fucking calls!

My King: baby forgive me

My King: Mama

My King: Lil mama

My King: Tiesha, talk to me

My King: So you gon do a nigga like that, imma screw you so hard when I get ma hands on you.

Motiesha rolled her eyes and dropped her phone. No, she didn't delete the number. She didn't see the need to.

Unknown number: Shawty, Ky'Mon be going crazy. Pick his calls or just text him back.

Tiesha: MM, tell him to leave me the fuck alone!

MM: so you gon reply his chat huh?!

8 missed calls from MM.

24 missed calls from My King.

She changed into a big shirt and small tight shorts then chose a movie from Netflix and settled down to bread and chocolate with Fanta.

She hated Coke.

She was so engrossed in her movie that she didn't notice someone was banging on the door.

She looked up thanking her stars the door was locked. The person kept banging on the door loudly.

Tiesha walked into the kitchen and picked up a knife. She slowly made her way to the door and sighed.

"Fuck Tiesha, open the damn door!"

Oh, It's him. Wait, how does he know where I live?

Tiesha dropped the knife on the table and unlocked the door. He pushed her inside and stood in her face looking mad. He looks so kissable, she mewled.

"The fuck you doing here?" She asked him.

"You was ignoring me, why was you ignoring me?" He asked looking unhappy.

"You know why," she said and returned the knife to the kitchen.

He followed her.

"Lil mama, you started that shii."

"Didn't start nun." She turned around and he squashed her between his body and kitchen sink.

He placed his hands on each side of her hips and looked down at her.

"I missed you," his voice softened.

She quickly pushed him away and he almost growled. She walked out of the kitchen and he held her wrist, her ass hitting the couch headrest.

He held her waist and tried to kiss her. "Ky'Mon," she called, pulling away. He tried to kiss her neck and she placed her hands on his chest to push him away. He dropped his hands and looked at her then his hands went to her lower back and stayed on her ass.

Tiesha removed his hands and his eyes hardened. "Why won't you let me touch you?"

She got away from him and looked at him.

"You've got anger issues and ion like the way you do things."

"Waz really your problem huh? why are you trying to control my life? Just cos I want you so you think you just gon boss me around and change me?"

"Ky'Mon–"

"Nah, you don't know the shit I've been through so stop acting bitchy and trying to change me."

She glared at him and his eyes softened. "Get out," her voice was harsh.

"Lil mama–"

"Get the fuck out!" She barked.

He looked at her and bit his lower lip. "Fuck it!" He yelled then left.

Tiesha sat down and used the tip of her fingers to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Her inner voice spoke.

I'm not acting bitchy, he's just being insensitive.

I'm not trying to control him, I just want him to live a better life.

I didn't mean to upset him, I just wanted to help.

She tried to finish her movie but couldn't. What he said hurt her. Tiesha checked the time and saw it was almost five. She called Koko who picked up at first ring. "Bitch, what you want?"

Tiesha kept quiet and Koko screamed.

"MoTiesha Hope Kona-reys!"

"Koko," she sniffled.

"Baby what's wrong?" Koko's voice calmed down.

"I–"

"I'm on my way." Tiesha dropped the phone and waited patiently for her. When Koko came, she immediately hugged her.

"Am I controlling?"

"A lil bit," Koko replied honestly.

"Ky'Mon said I'm controlling him and he said I was acting bitchy. I swear I didn't mean to. I just don't want him to end up like dad."

"Then tell him in a nice way, you not even his girlfriend. Don't be all up in his business like that or are you?"

Tiesha shook her head.

"You just met him a few weeks ago, you gotta tune it down and get to know him first."

"But–"

"Seriously, don't go butting in like that, he's bad and you know he's a Trapking. He's gonna get mad and shit. You is lucky he likes you or you gon be lying under a bridge right now."

"Koko, I was just trying to help."

"I know baby."

"But Imma still burst his nuts for talking to my baby like that," she added.

"Thanks."

"So what you got?" She asked making her way into the kitchen. Koko stayed for a while before leaving as she had to prepare for school.

An unknown number called Tiesha and she picked up the call without saying anything waiting for the person to talk first.

"Hello?"

A guy's voice.

"Yeah hello, who's this?" Tiesha replied.

"Miss, you have won the prize to go on a date."

"Nigga what? With who?"

"One and only Kareem Aliamin."

"Kareem?"

"Ma, you gon act like ya don't know me?"

Oh.

"Sorry, wassup?"

"I'm good, ya?"

"Cool, you serious about the date?" She asked.

"Yes ma, lemme take ya out."

"Lowe gave you my digits?"

"Yah."

Tiesha made a mental note to kill her cousin later. "Hmmm, imma think about it."

"Nah, ion want that. Just tell me, yes or no."

Motiesha liked his confidence.

"Yes," she said after a while.

"So where ya want to go?" He asked.

"Ion know." She replied.

"Five-star restaurant, beach, cinema–" He paused for a while. "My bedroom?" He asked seductively.

"Kareem, don't try to be too obvious."

"Why not?"

"It's not cool."

He chuckled but didn't stop. "Consider it huh?"

Tiesha rolled her eyes. "Movies." She said.

He groaned disappointedly. "Damn it."

"Pick me up tomorrow by 5."

"In the morning?" His tone was playful.

Tiesha groaned and he laughed. "Awright ma."

"Goodnight ma."

"Goodnight Kareem."

Tiesha smiled.

Something to get her mind off Ky'Mon.
