Watching the tv that was on the wall directly in front of the bed, Zeke was tuned into Khari's documentary about his life, mostly about his wrongdoings. The name of the documentary was Elijah's Box of Letters. Naomi laid against him with her back on his chest, and his arms around her. She was only wearing his buttoned down shirt, and her hair was untamed considering the fact that they went a couple more rounds than expected.
After he talked about coming back to his hometown and investing in the community in which he lived in, it switched to him and Malia dancing in the middle of the street when they were younger. It looked as if the footage was recorded when they were in college. She had a small baby bump.
"I love, love, love Khari Elijah Valentine." Malia said into the camera.
The mood of the documentary turned sad as her statement was being replayed over and over, and Naomi turned up the tv. The word love was replaced with hate. Pizza, Sweatpants & Heels appeared across the screen. "That was the night. The night that change everything for me." Khari recalled with a smile that quickly vanished. "I wasn't ready, though. I just didn't want anyone else to have ha."
Pizza, sweatpants, and heels.. I still remember. God....you were so beautiful. Pineapples, that's what you preferred on your pizza That's the night you shared my love for buildings, you saw me. Better than I ever saw myself. I didn't deserve you
I'll always remember that night That's when you gave me my first chance, my first chance at love.. I let you down... I toyed with your heart mostly because I didn't have one He's out, I'm in.. that's what you said. "Don't make me regret it." Over the years, I saw the regret in your eyes. Innocence vanished.
You don't know the first thing about love, you were right. You gave me hope to know The only love I knew was murdered In the ninth ward.. That's when I hit my lowest, I didn't want to grow.
I didn't even see love through your eyes Even when you gave me my first my child. Even when you lost one heartbeat... You blamed yourself But it was all on me, I should've loved you
God broke me, humbled me. I was bowing at Her feet. Two beautiful girls, crying out for me. A second chance to right my wrongs To love them without no holes. Pizza, sweatpants, and heels.. That's when the world stood still.
