Gina Waited for a moment as they got to Maleek’s house. She was still reeling from the kiss that both he started and then the one that she started. She was the life your life in the moment type of person, but she had never just kissed someone. It was unlike anything she had ever done, and it not only took him by surprise but herself. She began to wonder if Reena was in the same spot, so to speak with Yuri. Everyone knew that he was for her, how he felt in the long run for her as well. This was new to her. She didn’t know if this was one of Maleek’s flings or he was being serious. He was impossible to read at times, and right now was one of those times for her.
“You coming?” he asked.
“Thinking,” she said as he walked over to the door and opened it for her.
“Think inside. It is chilly,” he replied as he took her hand, and she walked up to the steps with him.

She watched him as he worked and laughed as he cracked jokes about everything.When they moved to a different room, she knew it was not as clean. It was actually a mess like a tornado had been in there. Maleek was serious about two things in his life, and extra cleaning wasn't one of them. He loved to fight. He was good at it.

“Sweetheart, are you okay?” Maleek asked Gina as they lay in bed together, and he was tracing a circle on her arm.“Yeah.” She said as she could hardly place any of her thoughts. She was content to lay there in his arms with her head on his chest.“Are you sure?” he asked as he moved and settled in next to her gathering her in his arms and holding her to him.“Yea, Maleek,” she said as she stared into his eyes. This man she knew was not perfect. He was obsessive and playful, but he was not perfect in any way, but he was to her. They may have complete blowups and meltdowns together, but they would always have that spark that could ignite at any time. They were friends. They were almost family.

Now I have made their daughter, you, mine. I have to go and talk to them and make sure everything is cool with them.” He said.“What if they don’t like it, Maleek?” she asked with a little fear in her voice.“Then we will have to make them realize that we are good together, sweetheart. I really don’t think they will mind.” He said.“You don’t?” she asked.“No, my princess.

It wasn't until she looked into his deep forest floor-colored eyes that she saw the storm within them. It was her only clue.She remembered that he always had a stoic look on his face. It had been one of the things she thought about him was almost perfect. It wasn't that he wouldn’t smile; it was he couldn’t. He was always cracking some sort of lame dad joke, which would make her smile and often laugh too hard and to the point of choking. He was the only one in her life that could do that.“What?” she asked as she looked up to him.“I am sorry.” He said as he tried to look anywhere but at her. “I really should not have done that.”&ld
