Leon Giovanni Easton

The sound of the doorbell echoed through the house waking Simba up from his nap.

He winced as he got off his couch, his neck aching from his sleeping position, he glanced at Lotanna who was curled up in a ball on his pull out sofa, spit dribbling out the side of her mouth.

She was still naked from their second round last night, a thick blanket draped over her body.

After their conversation last night, they decided to head back to his apartment to cuddle but one thing led to another.

The door bell rung again, making Lotanna stir in her sleep, "baby?" She rasped cracking her eyes open slightly.

"It's okay mamas, go back to sleep," he said leaning down and kissing her cheek.

He grabbed a rumpled pair of shorts off the floor and pulled it on before walking to the front door.

Without checking the peep hole, he unlocked the door, revealing Yuri.

Her hair was slicked back into a perfect bun, her edges laid to perfection. Her round lips were coated in their signature pink shimmer lip gloss and she was dressed in a halter neck knitted top and shorts.

Simba rubbed his forehead preparing himself for whatever bull shit he believed was about to proceed from her mouth.

"Hey Leon," she smiled.

"What you want?" He asked leaning on the door frame.

"Damn nigga let me in or sum," she said moving towards the door but he blocked her with body.

"What you want Yuri?" He repeated.

"I just wanted to talk to you," she hummed moving her hands slowly down his chest.

He stared down at her not making any moves.

"I missed you baby," she said, her tone low and seductive, she leaned into his chest, inhaling his familiar scent.

She kissed him up from his shoulder, slowly and teasingly until she reached the spot, his spot.

Simba let out a hiss, gripping her firmly by her slim waist and pushing her back.

"Go home Yuri," he ordered.

"Leon-"

"I said fucking go home Yuri!" He snapped.

"You still ain't gotten ova' that bitch? Fucking pathetic." Yuri chuckled, "what the fuck you really like about yer anyways?"

"I swear to God Yuri you don't wanna play this game with me."

"Trust me Simba, she gon leave you, yo daddy left you, momma finna dip anytime soon, hell even yo sister in another continent, the bitch gon tire of you, and when she do, you know where the fuck to find me."

Simba pushed his tongue on the insides of his cheek and chuckled, "get the fuck off my property."

He slammed his door shut, feeling his insides bubble with rage, he ran his hands through his dreads, letting out a deep sigh before walking back to the living room.

He glanced at Lotanna who snuggled deeper into the sofa, "who was it?"

"Just a neighbour, he needed something."

"Okay," she nodded, "can we go up to your room and cuddle for a bit?"

"Of course baby, just give me a second." He said grabbing his keys off the table and going outside.

He unlocked his car, he reached into the cabinet and began to roll a blunt.

He shut his eyes as he he brought it to his lips with a shaky hand, he felt his chest squeeze as Yuri's words replayed in his head.

This was exactly why he hated getting drunk. He never wanted to tell Yuri about his family or anything related to that at all, but one night he slipped up and got drunk as fuck.

She unfortunately was the only one around him and got to enjoy every last bit of him confessing all his problems to her.

He let out the smoke out through his lips, letting the back of his seat down and allowing himself to stare at the roof of his car.

Three Years Ago...

"Ayo momma what the fuck?" Simba exclaimed as he knocked on the window of his mom's car.

"Open the fuck up!" He yelled gripping the door handle and immediately yanking it open when he heard the unlocking noise.

"I'm sorry." Nayeli laughed staring at her son.

"You fucking promised!" He said snatching the blunt out of her fingers.

"I'm sorry," she said, "I saw him again."

"You saw who?"

"Yo daddy," she frowned, "he was right there I swear he was, he didn't wanna look at me."

"Why doesn't he wanna look at me baby? I said I was sorry."

"You saw him where? Momma what are you talking about?" Simba asked getting frustrated.

"He was in my dream, but it felt so real, I kept on calling him but he didn't answer, he just kept on staring, and staring." She said, "but he aint wanna look at me, he just stared, like I was some stranger. I told him I was sorry-

"Mom get out of the car." Simba said.

"Leon why wouldn't he look at me?"

"Get out of the fucking car mom!" He yelled feeling himself start to shake.

"Let me have one more smoke baby, please, just one so I can see him." She begged.

"Mom please get out of the car, you can't keep doing shit like this, you're hurting yourself and you're fucking scaring me."

"I don't care about myself, I care about yo daddy, I only see him in my dreams and I can't sleep if I'm not high so gimme the fucking blunt."

"Mom please."

She looked at him, her eyes red and swollen, "I'm sorry baby."

"Just get out of the car and come inside."

"I'm so sorry."
