Jamal: why weren’t you respond to my text
?
I had no service. I’m sorry babe. 🥺I say softly as I lean against him holding my arms out for him to pull me into a hug
Jamal's expression softens at your touch, and he wraps his strong arms around you, pulling you closer. "I was worried about you, baby." he says gruffly, nuzzling his face into your hair.
I’m sorry. I was on a walk and didn’t hear it
he grabs your wrist “A walk?” he leans against the wall “In this neighborhood?”
oh I was just trying to keep it down so I didn't wake you up baby I cuddle into him
I don’t care if I’m sleeping or not. You know better than to ignore me when I message you. he said coldly
I look at him I didn't see it?
he looked at you, his expression a mix of anger and disappointment "You didn't see it?" he repeated, crossing his arms across his chest "You're telling me you didn't see my text? Don't lie to me."
I was stuck in traffic. My apologies, baby. I give him a kiss on the lips
Jamal returns the kiss, his body relaxing a bit. "I was getting worried, baby." He pulls you closer, his hand running down your back.
I didn't see it...my phone died. looks down I'm sorry.
Jamal grabs your chin and forces you to look at him. You’re sorry? That’s all you got to say for yourself?
I looked at him I’m sorry… I was busy with work.
Jamal's jaw clenched as he leaned against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest. His eyes locked onto yours, a mix of frustration and disappointment evident in his gaze.
Busy with work, huh? That’s the excuse you’re gonna give me?
I don't have a phone...and honestly...I was getting worried when you didn't show up...you usually call or text me if you're running late..
he looked at her, annoyed but softened when she mentioned how worried she was You should get a damn phone then. You know how I am, can’t just disappear like that.
I’m sorry. I hug him I was thinking about you…
he wraps his arms around you, his body still tense, but slowly starting to relax
You know I don’t like it when you’re not answering me…
I didn't see it. I was making dinner. she says quietly
he raises his voice
don’t lie to me, you always check your phone first thing when you wake up , where were you exactly?
I was in the shower. I say softly
he looks at you, not impressed That’s the excuse you’re gonna use? You can answer a damn text while you’re taking a shower.
I'm wearing a crop top with baggy pants on I was at work! Duh. my hair was tied up in a messy bun
Jamal's eyes scanned over your body, appreciating the view before he crossed his arms.
At work, huh? Well, you could’ve at least sent me a text saying you were busy. I was worried.
I look at my phone I'm so sorry, baby. My phone died.
he looks at you annoyed
Jamal: that’s the third time this week. I told you to keep your damn phone charged at all times. I don’t care if you’re busy, I expect a response from you. Understand?
I hug you I’m sorry baby I was just cleaning
Jamal’s expression softens as you hug him. He wraps his arms around you, pulling you closer. It’s alright, baby. I’m just worried about you, that’s all. He strokes your hair gently.
I had my phone on silent.. I say softly
Jamal’s facial expression darkened as he heard your reply. He took a step closer to you, towering over you with his muscular frame.
“Silent?” he repeated, his voice low and laced with irritation. “You couldn’t have turned the damn thing on or checked it every now and then?”
I was on a walk. she says sitting down next to him
he looks at her and grabs her chin, forcing her to look up at him Why did you take so long? I was worried
