Page 25 of I Changed for You
He caressed my stomach gently and laid his head on the pillow. This soothed me to the point that I moved closer to him.
“You said your mom told you about what would help me. How did she take the news of you having a baby on the way?”
Did his parents act the same way mine did? Were they supportive of him, and were they eager to meet their grandchild?
He chuckled. “After they cussed me out for being reckless, they were overjoyed about being grandparents. Our baby will be their first grandchild.”
That warmed my heart, causing a smile to spread on my face. “Aww, that’s sweet.”
Melijah’s hand on my body was doing things to me. As much as I tried to fight it, it was hard. Plus, with me being naked underneath my wife beater, I wanted him to slip his hand between my legs. This man just didn’t know what he was doing to me.
“What about your parents? Are they excited about being grandparents?” His voice went low and deeper.
I scoffed. “Not at all. They’re not happy at all. They told me to get married to my baby daddy. Then they asked if you were a lawyer or a doctor. Then they said I had to find an excuse to let people know I got pregnant out of wedlock. They are far from being excited.”
“Aww, baby. I’m sorry. Maybe they’ll come around. If they don’t, fuck them. I mean that disrespectfully. If you want to get married, wassup? We can elope right now,” Melijah stated jokingly with a smile on his face.
I stared at him with my mouth partly open and my eyes widened. Before I could say anything, he burst out laughing. His locs swing had me wanting to run my fingers through them.
He chuckled. “You looked serious as hell.”
I rolled my eyes. “Why are you playing with me like that?”
He lifted a brow. “Who said I’m playing? We can be married by tomorrow. You’re the one who said your family doesn’t want you to be pregnant out of wedlock.” He still had that smile on his face, twisting my insides.
I nibbled on my bottom lip, and he leaned down to kiss me. I gasped and stared at him.
He smirked. “I kissed you ’cause your lips looked inviting and they’re soft.” He leaned down to peck my lips again, and I fought the urge not to moan.What the hell was he doing to me?
“What’s your family like?” It was best to change the subject.
He chuckled. “That’s how we’re going to do it?”
“It’s safe,” I affirmed.
He only stared at me with his eyes roaming up and down my body. “You being naked under this thin ass shirt is doing something to me. I’m trying to be a gentleman though.”
He had a point, and it showed his self-control as well. “I can remember you asking what my family is like before my mind took a different turn. Hmmm... They’re aggravating, but they’re good people. I wouldn’t say we’re a close-knit group, but we do get together whenever we can. It’s my parents, my three sisters, and me. I hate being the only boy.”
We shared a laugh.
“My parents had three girls. My sisters and I don’t get along either. I’m trying to get over that. My parents and I aren’t close either.”
I didn’t want to get into how my parents are or even my sisters. Since my friends let it be known how they felt about him, I wouldn’t even mention them to him. I still felt a certain way about what they said.
“Damn, that sucks that you don’t get along with them.”
I shrugged, trying to bite back a yawn, but it came out anyway, along with me saying, “It is what it is.”
“It’s time for you to take a nap.”
I smiled lazily. “Yes. I’m sleepy now.”
Melijah lowered his head to kiss my lips again. This time, I wrapped my arms around his neck, wanting to hold him in place. He wasn’t getting away from me, trying only to peck my lips. Nope, I needed something much more passionate. He didn’t disappoint either, as he pulled me closer to him by my waist. He was half on top of me, and I felt his erection on my thigh. I moaned, trying to turn sideways to rub against him. He chuckled and pulled back.
“Nah, you’re not ready for that yet.”
I pouted. “I had it before.”
