Our Brother's Keeper

Jakira

I played in Lucas curls as he laid on my chest

I stared at the ceiling as I did so

" Babe? " I said

" Hmmm? " he asked

" Don't you just ever wonder what your life would be like if we never met? " I asked

" Nah... I don't even wanna think that way because I only see you with some other nigga " he said

I smiled lightly

" Well good... " I said

He ran his hand up and down my inner thigh

" Oh yeah... what's this? " he asked pulling the cover off me and pointing to my thigh

I looked down at it

" You didn't put a hickey right there?... " I asked

" No.. I didn't kiss that far down " he said

He ran his thumb across it and I kinda winced from the pain

He looked at me

" Babe... " he said

I looked back at him as he had a serious look on his face

" Yeah?... " I asked

" You gotta be honest with me " he said

" Okay... " I said

" Is y'all foster dad abusing y'all?... " he asked

I didn't say anything

He got up putting his pants on kinda in a hurry

" Lucas.. " I said sitting up

I got up and grabbed his arm

He snatched away from me

" I knew that fuck nigga was putting his hands on y'all man! " he said in anger

I jumped at the booming tone in his voice

He swung at the air then went into the bathroom

Biting my lip in nervousness I grabbed my robe and put it on following behind him

He was staring down at the sink

I went up and put my hand on his back

He breathed in heavily

Going behind him I hugged onto him laying my head on his back

I closed my eyes as I did so

After what seemed like hours he turned around hugging me

I laid my head on his bare stomach

He slowly picked me up and set me on the corner making me look at him

" If he touches you again.. you let me know " he said
