We all have those moments in life where everything seems to happen so fast. Malik was having a moment like that from the moment him and Blake sat down in the group session circle. All he did was glance at the couple they sat next to, not paying much attention to what Blake had commented on until she said something about marriage. What brought that on? Malik thought, mentally confused by the comment overall but finding it sweet enough. He smiled one of his natural sweet smiles at her, ignoring the other couples for the moment, and was about to say that he thought they were still too young for marriage, but before he could do so the lady spoke.
"Hello couples, I like to begin my sessions by asking the major question: What do you want?" Taken off guard a moment, Malik stared at the lady unintentionally. Then the other couples began to speak and his eyes shot to them, watching and listening to each ones complaint. Malik, being who he was, couldn't help but laugh at some of the more petty ones about not getting enough loving in bed or wanting to get something done with that ass, it was all very funny, childish even. But it was the deeper more meaningful ones that hit home and left his eyes drifting to Blake with a faint smile adorning his face.
Next thing he knew, someone was saying they wanted a baby. Well, this escalated quickly, Malik thought, struggling to hold in his laughter at the face the guy was giving his girl. He couldn't imagine being that guy and getting bombed like that. His laughter died when the lady called on Blake and his eyes landed on her. "I want us to stop fighting so much. It's always over petty things, but it always happens...." Malik let out a low aw sound before draping an arm over her shoulders then said quietly, trying to fly under the radar of the rest of the people around, "That's why we're here, babe. That's why we're here."
He then relaxed slightly, listening to the next guy put out the whole intro and everything. Malik was honestly impressed by this guy, especially when he started saying what was up in his relationship. "I want kids and she doesn't," "Daaamn..." Malik couldn't help but breathe out the small comment at that. All these people wanting kids and all Malik wants is a good, loving relationship minus the constant arguing and headbutting. But, if it wasn't clear already, this was going to be a lot of work.
