“That’s funny,” Malik said, stepping all the way into the room now, the walls practically shrinking behind him. “I’ve reviewed every emergency contact, every intake form. Your name’s not on anything.”
“Yo...Dr. Holloway not one of them,” he said, letting out a laugh that turned into a wince. “Ashe was spooked.”
“Because every time I’m near you, you forget to breathe for about three seconds. Because you called me back in under five minutes. And because right now, you’re standing with your back to your girls so they can’t see your face. That baby blushing.”
“Nah, barely. He’s still in town, but I don’t know. Lately I’ve been feeling like he ain’t being honest with me. I know I got some siblings or something. What do you think?”
“A permanent problem needs a permanent solution, those are the rules.”
“Maybe, but my type of love also doesn’t allow anyone to violate what’s mine and get away with it. The last thing I wanted was for Savior Sametra to show up, go into debt paying that bum when his rightful place is in a pine box. I warned that nigga.”
Why would the man who loves you and has made that clear from day one want you on that type of time? That’s the energy you need and the energy you wanted. Don’t get scared now because his scrubs and degrees fooled you into thinking he was soft. That’s a man who learned how to protect by taking care of his mother years ago. Don’t lose out on something real because you’re confused about what a man is supposed to do.”
