She smelled something delicious and her stomach began to Growl. Still Ass naked she stepped out of bed and grabbed her Silk Robe hanging in her Walk in Closet and tip toed down stairs . The cold Stainless floors sent shivers up her spine as she walked towards the kitchen , only to find Elijah With a Towel wrapped around his waist and flipping Pancakes on her Flat top stove

"You taking this room service joke too far " she Joked causing Elijah to spin around startled

Laila laughed at his scare .

"I didn't know you were up , I was going to bring this to you. A woman's gotta eat right" He said showing off his white teeth

Laila was impressed . Was it anything this nigga didn't do? Was she dreaming?

"It's fine, thankyou . I can just eat here it's no Big deal. I'm starving "

Elijah nodded cracking eggs in a pan and setting sausages in another .

Minutes later , he Set a full plate of Pancakes, an Omelette, sausages and cut strawberries on her high island kitchen table.He made his self a plate and poured them Both Orange juice from her Silver Fridge. Laila stuffed her face in amazement , it all tasted so good .

"Who taught you how to Cook"? Laila asked swallowing down a gulp of her orange Juice.

Swallowing a chunk of Pancakes Elijah let out a sigh before saying

"My Father actually , my Mother was too into Drugs to teach Me or my siblings any thing"

Laila felt terrible for even asking the question and Quickly Apologized

" I’m so sorry, I have a big mouth , I need to learn to Mind my own damn business"

Elijah laughed

" Relax Ma, Your entitled to your big mouth. And it's cool, Im not sensitive to the subject . I'm over it"

Laila nodded her head, they wasn’t so different after all but changed the subject

" So what's your Story , Your résumé is tight for a brother in Ny no offense . Wassup?"

Elijah almost fell out from laughing so hard

" And So is your House but I ain't say shit. Nah Ma forreal though I struggled just like You. I work Hard for the success I have "

He went on by explaining to Laila that he too was a Street nigga growing up selling drugs to the neighborhood trying to raise money for his siblings and father. He came from a full family , of 5 including himself but when his mother got hooked on drugs when he was entering his teens and stopped taking care of his younger sister and brother then 9 and 6 he knew selling drugs weren't going to cut it. He started going to school faithfully and got a job mowing lawns until he was old enough to get a real Job. Elijah went on to College and graduated in hopes of starting his own business but when His father passed days after his graduation he wasn't up for the challenge and ending up playing ball and becoming a personal trainer for a while to keep busy. He told her everything from his mother neglected her family for days at a time leaving them dirty and hungry to her almost overdosing when he turned 18 and how he worked to make sure his little sister and brother had the World before he sending them to move with his Father side of his family and moved on with his real hopes and dreams. Elijah didn't have the heart to move out of Newyork since his whole life was there and started working in and out of Sucessful businesses all over the 5 burrows now working for Laila

" You turned out great Elijah really, I know your father would have been proud you did an amazing job with yourself despite the circumstances" Laila said looking into his eyes after he finished .

" I did okay. I had to do what was best for all of us. We were all we had but now I just want a family of my own and to get the fuck out of the NY y'know a fresh start. I'm 27 and damn sure aint getting any younger! I'm getting tired of fucking with the same broads who ain't worth shit when all I want Is a Wife and a little girl. I ain't 18 nomore I want something Real, feel me" Elijah spoke lightly brushing his hand under Laila’s chin. She smirked at his touch

" Yeah I feel you. Your an Good man Eli , a Good head on your shoulders and got Talent out the Ass. You could scoop anything! Believe me these Hoes looking, you just gotta know how to pick em"

The expression on his face changed now more serious and his jaw stiffened .

" See that's the shit I'm talking about. Damn Laala, I'm telling you What I want and you start giving me ultimatums about other Bitches. I ain't feeling that especially considering I'm in Yo kitchen cooking for Yo ass. Like I said You never see what good you have in front of you cause' you too busy on your pedestal not thinking with your damn Head and stop being so damn scared of letting somebody take care of you" his voice Now raised

Laila was confused . What the fuck was he getting at? Nobody ever talked to her like that before so she didn't know whether to be Insulted or Hurt

" Excuse the fuck outta me! You don't know what the fuck my life has been like having Different men running in and out my life cause my Hoe ass mother couldn't Pick one.I was the only child, I grew up lonely and the only sisters I had didn't even fully belong to me and even behind their back I treated them like shit! Keeping all this shit from them when really they were all I Had! Excuse me for being Scared.. To trust .. To love shit to even be happy! I wanted a family! I wanted Kids! But your right I'm too high on my pedestal to settle for any Nigga! " tears now rolling down her face

Elijah walked around and began to hold her. He knew she was broken but was willing to fix everything in a matter of time.

" Lay listen . I want to do everything I can to turn your life around , but you gotta trust me. I ain't your mother nor that fucked up ass nigga you was creepin with. If We do this, you gotta let go of your fears and let me know if I'm what you really want. You too pretty for bullshit" He said brushing her wild hair from her face

She sucked it up and Spoke

" I never had A real relationship before so it's new. But i promise to Try with You. Just don't Hurt me Nigga, With how I'm feeling I could Kill the Next person who betrays me"

Elijah laughed

" I gotchu I gotchu. But you need to kill yourself first for letting your hair get this nappy Ma, Go get yourself dressed I'll be back to Scoop you"

Laila hit his chest at his joke and went with his instructions.

EBONY

 

"Look I'm not tryna argue with you. I'm done with this shit. I don't hate you shit you wasn't fucking me so to each his own , I hope you feel as disgusting to me as you do in the eyes of your son. I'm not mad, just Disappointed you were my first we were together since I was Younger. You could have let me know Wassup but instead you had a baby on me and cheated on me with a nigga all along saying said Fuck me in the process. So now it's Fuck you . I filled for DIVORCE and Me and my Son will be moving out! I hope your happy with your choices in life Charles" Ebony talked into the phone

Charles pleaded his case and apologized millions of times but Ebony didn't budge. She no longer cared for being the Other woman .

She hung up the phone in Confidence and went on with her list of people to Call. She called Tasha and Laila first letting them know she was awake and coming home soon , then proceed to tell Her Mother and Father the same as well as Mama Char. Everyone seemed as she left them. After her Calls Ebony Rested and watched TV and thought about how her life would go from here on out. She wanted to go back to school become a Fashion designer, and maybe own a home but needed the money for that and quickly became discouraged . She loved her son too much to give up now and was going to do whatever it takes to get her life back on track .

LAILA

 

Laila was so happy when Ebony called The next day , they spoke briefly about her welll being and that she was coming home and then she had to go. Laila was still in her towel when Elijah sent her a text saying he would be there soon, they were going out.While she slipped on her matching Victoria secret lace bra and panty set her phone ranged . It was Mikey. Laila hasn't spoken to him in Months after the incident with her mother and sure as hell wasn't up for speaking to his ass now

" What do you Want Now" She answered anyways

The sound of Mikey's voice made her regret answering the phone

" So you got a new nigga huh? You think because of that fight you and your mother Had a few months back we're through . I want some pussy"

Laila was hesitant but replied

" W-what new nigga? You crazy. I told you to stop calling My ass! You ain't getting shit from me!"

" So you want to play stupid huh . That nigga in the White Range rover that left your house an hour ago, You fucking him Now Huh? What I tell you , you belong to me! Don't get it fucked up your little Career will be ended if I show up at your Job with what I'm bout to Throw at your ass. You wanna be grown right ?! Ima show you grown!" Mikey grunted

" FUCK YOU"! Laila screamed into the phone .

Mikey was all talk and she knew that so his threats wasn't going to get to her this time.

She threw her phone at her bed and finished getting dressed. Laila blew her freshly washed hair out before putting it in a pony tail leaving her long bang to swoop to one side. It was still early so she didn't wanna look too high class today. She slipped on her Grey Juicy Couture sweatsuit perfect for this upcoming September weather , Her Jays on feet made her feel more down to earth than she had felt in a while . She didn't have on her expensive diamond earrings on today instead just regular hoops. Laila applied foundation to her face, since her bags Weren't completed gone . Her eye shadow wasn't dramatic and her Mac Hourglass lip gloss looked as sexy as it made her feel . Laila took one last look in the mirror before spraying her self with her Beyonce Heat perfume, grabbing her phone ,bag and heading downstairs to leave. As she walked out the front door Elijah was already out in front leaning against his Range Rover holding his phone in hand dressed in Dark jeans , a Green and blue plaid button up with a Darker green opened vest

" I was just about to call, You look Different" Elijah said eyeing her from head to toe. He never seen her so dressed down but he loved it.

Laila put her hand on her hip rethinking her outfit

" What you mean? I could go up and changed if Im under dressed? I look crazy don't I" She Questioned

Elijah assured her she looked Good although he's never seen her dress
