"Real shit."

"Let me hear you say it again." He challenged me as he held onto my waist.

"No." I dragged, trying to pull away from him as he smacked his lips.

"Come on, T. Let me hear you."

"Fine."

"You do have waves, papi." I spoke seductively again, playing rolling my eyes afterwards.

Taking it all in, he licked his lips and then pulled his bottom lip in between his teeth.

"That's exactly why you pregnant na'.." He went onto say, making me smile before he let me go and walked away from me.

Later that night

"I appreciate you, T."

"Huh?" I asked as he laid on my stomach with his ear to it.

"I said appreciate you." He looked up at me, making me smile.

"Why?" I couldn't help but to ask and he clears his throat before speaking.

"You was in a tough position but you ain't fold on me. You kept that shit g and you kept my son."

"And I fuck witchu you on a different level na' T."

"This forever witchu." He expressed, making me run a hand down his face before he put his ear back to my stomach.

I couldn't help but to smile, rubbing my hands through his waves. Here was my Dominic expressing his feelings again and not the one who pretended to be hard all the time.

I loved this him.

"You the reason why my life perfect na'.." He trailed off, not even looking at me and my lip quivered.

"Aye, don't start that cryin' shit, T." He sat up and I contained myself but it was harder than usual of course.

"Look, I ain't tryn' make cry, ma. I just want you to know how a nigga feel." He pulled me to him as we looked into each other's eyes.

"I know we argue and shit but that don't mean shit to me at the end of the day because I know you gon' stay down for a nigga no matter what."

"Especially na' T.." He shook his head.

"You gon' give my son life, ma."

"Something that you ain't even had to do, you feel me?" He asked and I nodded slowly.

"So I appreciate that shit, ma."

"I really do."

"Well I appreciate you too." I ended up saying, making him raise his eyebrows.

"Why?"
