One Week Later

Play the song

For the past week or two weeks since we have been home I have been doing nothing but crying. Elijah doesn't stay here with me anymore and I feel so lonely. Sometimes he comes just to check on me but I wish he'd stay.

I'm laying in my bed crying my eyes out because I miss him so much. He mistook what I said for the wrong things. I just want my husband back at home with me. I would do anything for that feeling again. I heard the front door close and moments later Elijah appeared at our bedroom door. I sat up wiping my eyes.

He had his hands stuffed in his joggers with his head down. He looked up at me and said,

"I love you."

I broke down getting out of bed and running to him. He picked me up hugging me. He held me so tight with his face barred in my neck. He walked me to our bed. He laid back with me kicking his shoes off. He pulled the covers back putting me under them along with his self. He pulled me so close to him. I hugged him so tight as I cried.

I fell asleep in his arms with our grip still tight on one another.

When I woke up he was still there asleep. I traced over the tattoo on his neck that said my name. I rubbed his cheek as he slept and softly kissed his lip. I laid my head back down wanting to fall asleep in his arms again.

I woke up to the feeling of Elijah rubbing my side. I had on pajama shorts and one of his big t shirts. I looked up at him and he was starring down at me as I slept. To be honest that was the last time I slept in a while because I was unable to go to sleep.

"I wanna fix whatever is wrong. I don't wanna lose you. I can't lose you and I won't. If your unhappy then your falling. I'm going to catch you before you fall. I love you so much Kennedy it makes no damn sense. I want you to be happy everyday without a worry. Can I make you happy? Please?"

I nodded quickly as he kissed me over and over. "I know we have to talk about this but can we do it later. I want to just enjoy you. I miss my husband and I don't want this moment to leave."

"Anything for you baby."

"Fruit?" I smiled small.

"Sure." He smirked.

I went down stairs to the refrigerator pulling out fruit. As I cut them up I felt Elijah wrap his hands around my waist and hug me from behind. I realized he'd taken his shirt off because his bare skin was so warm. I stopped cutting leaning back into his embrace. He kissed the side of my face.

I don't know why but I slowly but surely started to cry. He turned me around taking my face into his hands. He started to kiss my tears away.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I missed you so much Elijah." I said laying my head on his chest. He hugged me just like that resting his head on top of mine.

"I missed you too." He said. "I missed you too."

Chia

So last night JaQua texted me asking me if I wanted to go to a movie premiere with him. I have never went to a movie premiere ever, especially one with a lot of celebrities around so I'm super excited. It's next week and I can not wait to go.

"Mommy can I have something to eat?" Adonis asked coming from the back.

I'm so happy to finally have a place of my own.
