Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
After I tasted his lips, I suddenly pushed him away. I got the comfort I needed, and now I had to show that I was still mad at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose this is the part where you will slap me,\u201d he remarked, trying to joke about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I raised my hand, but it did not meet his face. The reason was that I did not feel like I had the right to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe you did this,\u201d I told him. \u201cI thought you wanted to make the place secure for me, to save it for me, but bringing her with you means that you have opened the doors for everyone in my life again who is related to her, the same people I am trying to run away from.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I spoke in a soft tone, but the emotions in my words were still raw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me again, how would you feel if my ex returned to my life and I even invited him over?\u201d I demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had only said this part when he raised his hand to silence me, not to hit me, but to show his palm as a warning to stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot one more word,\u201d he warned, and I started to smirk because I had proven my point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly. You would not even want to hear about them,\u201d I commented.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He finally faced me with his chin lifted and his shoulders broad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are right. I would kill them if they came near you, and I would not spare you either,\u201d he told me. \u201cYou will never see my face again, no matter the circumstances under which they got close to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He made himself clear, which made me fold my arms across my chest as I watched his face in disbelief. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for Yuvonne, you have my word,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf she even tried to flirt with me, she would be sent back home. I am telling you right now, Madeline, I am not interested in her, and she is not interested in me. I made that clear to her, and she understands. I will not hear any argument about it.!\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words and his tone did not sit well with me. I took a deep breath, then smiled to myself and shook my head in disappointment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. So you are going to threaten me into silence. Thank you, I remarked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as I said that, I tried to step past him. He tried to stop me, but I shrugged free, pointing my finger at him to warn him not to touch me again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, trouble in paradise,\u201d someone muttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And just as I had expected, when the night could not get any worse, Bonnie arrived out of nowhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned to look at Baxter while pointing toward Bonnie, as if telling him that we had another issue on our hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the fuck are you doing here?\u201d Baxter demanded. Unable to take his anger out on anyone else, he decided to yell at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEasy, man. I\u2019m not the one you should be angry at,\u201d she replied, folding her arms across her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before, when she arrived, she used to act very pregnant. I am not sure if I am supposed to say this, but today she had a crop top on and she had abs now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It seemed like her initial attire had just been a lie to fool people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was beginning to wonder if they had really just gone rogue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what is going on? Why are you two fighting here in the middle of the road?\u201d she questioned. \u201cDid you find your wife with someone else? I mean, isn\u2019t she the one who got rejected by two of her mates?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she continued to speak, Baxter took a few steps toward her, and she suddenly went silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFucking shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of our sight,\u201d he shouted, louder than I had ever heard him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was not how Baxter usually acted. It was strange to see him behave like that. But I have to say, she deserved it. She was really annoying the whole time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, I just thought I would have a word with you, since you all look like you needed someone to resolve your fight,\u201d she commented, not even realizing how badly he had yelled at her. She had no shame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBonnie, fucking leave,\u201d I told her, pointing toward her room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She spared both of us one last glance before walking away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is she doing here? I thought they ran away or something,\u201d Baxter asked me, pointing at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you go and ask them yourself? I\u2019m sleepy. I\u2019ll go and crawl into bed with my children,\u201d I replied, stepping back into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since it was a packed room, I decided to sleep at my children\u2019s feet. I crawled in and lay there for a few seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was a little worried about Baxter. However, he barged in with a mattress and a blanket.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d he told one of the people staying in the other room, then smirked at me as he placed the mattress on the ground and shut the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want, you can come. I don\u2019t mind cuddling,\u201d he commented, but I grunted and hid my face in the blanket.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least he was comfortable for the night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
