Erin

After I got my off the plane, I damn near ran through the airport to get home to my bed.
L.A. was great! Even though I was only there for a short period, I learned so many new things about photography in the magazine world. It was a wonderful experience overall.

I ate a lot while I was there, but there was so many new food places.
I'd be a fool if I didn't try them.
My sleep schedule was horrible. I'd get sleep through the night, but because of the 3 hour time difference I'd nap on break which made me feel even more tired.

But nonetheless, I got the job done, and I did damn good if I do say so myself.

What about Chris? Well I haven't spoken to him.
After that whole incident with Derrick, he's been avoiding me and I've been avoiding him.
I honestly don't even know if we're still together at this point, I mean he did say fuck me.
But I intend to talk to him after I get home and take a shower and a nap.

As I exited the airport, I looked around for Melanie's car since she was supposed to be picking me up.
Instead, I saw Chris leaning against his car with orange roses in his hand.

(Just imagine the nigga holding orange roses)

"Surprise baby." He walked toward me

I rolled my eyes "Where's Melanie?"

"I told her I'd come get you instead. I figured we could go home and-"

I fanned him off "I'll just take an Uber." I was about to walk back inside the airport

He grabbed my hand "Baby, wait. I was thinking we could talk."

"Chris I'm tired. I just want to go home and take a nap."

"We don't have to talk right now then. Just let me drive you home."

"Home to my house"

"Fine. Let me get your bag." He reached for my bag, but I pulled away

"I got it." I walked over to his car

I heard him suck his teeth as he followed, opening the car door for me.
I wanted us to talk about what happened, but I just wasn't ready to right now.
Right now, I'm exhausted.

"Erin you seriously not gonna talk to me?" He drove down the highway

I sighed "Chris."

"But you have to know I'm sorry. I truly am, I didn't mean to snap like that. I just saw him laying there and blacked out. I should've trusted you and communicated better."

"Pull over."

"Really? You can't get out on the damn highway Erin."

"Pull-" vomit started shooting out of my mouth, getting on me and his floor

"Yo!"

I bet his ass pulled over then. I opened the car door and continued throwing up on the side of the highway.

"Baby, you ok?" He rubbed my back

I tried to answer him, but more vomit came up.
After I finished, he handed me a water bottle. I kept the door open while taking a swig of water and rinsing my mouth out.

"It must've been the flight." I sat up straight, closing the car door

I made sure to keep my legs parted so I didn't step in my throw up

"You coming home wit' me." He handed me a napkin and rolled the windows down

"Chris" I groaned

"End of discussion." He pulled off from the shoulder lane

I stayed quiet while he drove. Not that he put me in my place or anything, I was just too tired to argue.
Ok I'm lying, he put me in my place.

Once we got home, I took a shower and slipped on a pair of Chris' briefs and his shirt while he cleaned out his car.
Once he was done with his car, he took a shower, then came and laid beside me in the bed.

He came from behind me, wrapping his arms around me. I closed tiktok and sat my phone on the dresser, and without a word, I turned towards him.
We quietly stared at each other for a few seconds before I straddled him and laid my head on his chest.

"Does this mean you forgive me?" He asked, rubbing my back

"No"

"Come on, Ma. I can't take you being mad at me. I tried to give you space and that shit drove me crazy."

"Chris you hurt me." I said quietly, feeling my eyes water

"And I hate myself for it. I didn't mean to put my hands on you, you know that."

I quietly cried on his chest. After a few seconds I'm sure he felt my tears.
I've been so sensitive lately.
Like I know he didn't mean to push me, but it hurt my feelings so bad.

"Baby." He sat me up so I was looking at him "I'm sorry, ok? I'll do whatever it takes to make it right." His hands rested on my hips

I sniffled, wiping my face "Can you get me some chili cheese fries and cucumbers?"

He scrunched his face up, chuckling "Yeah."

I leaned down, pecking his lips "I love you."

"I love you more."

After a few seconds of silence I spoke again "And can you get some pizza?"

"Erin." He gave me a questioning look

I blushed innocently "In my defense, I threw up all my food earlier. I'm starving."

He chuckled "A'ight, but I'm DoorDashing it. I just wanna' lay here wit' you for right now." He wrapped me in his warm embrace

"Aww" I snuggled into him

"And plus my whip still smells like throw up." He mumbled

I sucked my teeth, but stayed on him.
I missed him so much.

"Chris, they accidentally got a pregnancy test." I said while pulling the items from the bag

"Nah, it won't a accident. I want you to take it." He opened his tray of wings

"Uh...Why?" I furrowed my brows in confusion

"You started eating like crazy before you went to LA, now you throwing up and eating like crazy."

"What are you saying?"

"I think you know what I'm saying, E."

Of course I knew what he was implying, but I was scared to say it out loud.

"The flight made me a little sick, that's all."

"Just take the test." He dipped his wing in ranch

"Baby" I whined "I'm scared"

"You know I got you. Whatever the results say, I'm here regardless." He bit into his food

"Can I eat first?"

"Girl" he sucked his teeth, putting a drum to my lips

I took a bite, chewing as slow as I could.

"The food gone be here when you done. Want me to come with you?

"Could you?" I anxiously nibbled on my lip

He wiped his hands off and held my hand as we began walking to the bathroom.

Now...we wait ☺️

Just a lil quickie

Y'all think she pregnant? You know I like to play mind games sometimes 🫢
