Chapter 10

"Damien, just sign the damn papers. What I do is none of your business."

"Who is this dude that you had around my damn kids? I'm not signing shit. You belong to me. I thought If I gave you a little time that you would let me back in the house," he screamed in the phone.

I was getting a headache. We had been arguing on the phone for the last hour. He was mad because the kids told him about us meeting Micheal at Incredible Pizza. I was so over his little temper tantrum.

"How is your other baby momma? You seem to forget about that situation. It's funny she finally stopped calling my phone as soon as I put your ass out."

I really didn't care about her being pregnant anymore. That was his problem. My days of worrying about who and what he was doing was behind me. But he was pissing me off. Just sign the damn papers. He act like he had any right to be mad. Dude was a trip. Sometimes I wondered how I ended up falling for someone as controlling as him.

"You know damn well that ain't my baby. I keep telling you I don't even talk to her anymore. You trying to be funny but you had some stranger around my kids. Leave them the fuck out of your new little bullshit. That shit ain't gone last. He gotta be a sucka ass dude to be in a relationship with someone else wife. Clown ass dude. You belong with me Shunshine."

I rolled my eyes to the back of my head as i ended the call. He wanted to talk about everything but signing them papers. They was delivered weeks ago. He was dragging this shit out. I was trying to keep the peace but he was making this difficult.

I was sitting in my back patio, enjoying the fall breeze. All i needed was a good book and some wine to complete my little peace of happiness. The kids was gone and I was enjoying the quietness.

My phone start ringing. I looked down at it and smiled when I saw Micheal name popped up.

"Hey babe." I said into the phone.

He didn't respond but I could hear a lot of noise in the background. I could hear him talking but it seem like he was far from the phone.

"Hello. Baby. Micheal. Hello. "

I said trying to get his attention. He still didn't respond. Maybe he butt dialed me. As soon as I was about to hang up the phone, I hear a woman voice. I strained to hear what was going on. I just know that I was hearing things.

"Micheal, I wanna get some to eat. You said I can get some to eat before we go back to your house." She said.

"I'm gone take you later. We need to go by the house first."

By this time, I was seething with anger. How dare he do this to me. I hung up the phone and called him back. No answer. I called him about three more times and still he didn't answer. I wanted to leave a voicemail but I knew i wasn't gonna be able to put into words how i was feeling.

I ran in the house and grabbed my keys. Somebody was gonna have to explain to me what the fuck was going on.

I ran almost every light trying to get to Micheal house. When I made it, his car was gone. The first thing I wanted to do was act a fool but I was past that point in my life. That was for little girls, I was a fully grown woman now. I waited in front for him for almost an hour. He still hadn't called me back. I tried one more time to call him. Still no damn answer. It went straight to voicemail. I sent him one message and ended everything. The message said "I hope she worth it playa. Because I'm done."

I turned off my phone and cried all the way home.

I went straight to the refrigerator to grab my wine. I needed to calm my nerves. I pulled out my phone, turned it on, and called Kita.

"Hey , girl what's up? I'm kind of in the middle of some." She answered the phone out of breath.

"Nothing, just call me back when you get time."

It was just my luck. She was somewhere being a slut when I need her And I really needed my best friend. I could call Jessica but I needed someone that thought like me. Jessica was all breathe and let it go. She was the good girl of the group. I love all my girls equally but Kita was most like me.

I sat at my kitchen table and read all the messages from me and Micheal over the last couple months and my heart broke all over again. I really thought he was different. I could've dealed with Damien lying cheating ass if i was gone still be dealing with cheating.

I had a million thoughts running through my mind. I looked down at my glass and saw that i had finished the whole bottle. I went to grab another bottle.

I hear my phone ding.

I ran to the phone, thinking it was Kita calling me back. It was Micheal. Now what did he want? After hours of waiting,now he wanna call. Whatever. I let it go to voicemail.

i sat there and watch him call and call my phone. After I wouldn't answer, he sent me a message. Telling me to call him back. I knew that eventually I was gone wanna give in and answer the phone. Just to hear his excuse.

Hw sends another text. saying Baby please answer the phone. I shook my head. There was nothing that he could say that explains having another women in his car heading to his house. I didn't wanna hear the lies. So I blocked his number for my peace of mind.

What can he have to say now? After all these hours, he wanna call with some made up excuse? It don't work like that.

I threw my hands in the air and walked upstairs to get ready for bed. I was starting to feel all that wine. Before it kick in, I wanted to be in my bed and under my covers.
