Chapter 13 Forgive me

A few minutes later she walks slowly into the kitchen and saw him sitting at the counter with his head in his hands. She stops beside him and places his phone on the counter. "Baby boy, I'm sorry, I judged you wrongly please forgive me." She said resting her hand on his shoulder, but he shrugs off her hand, got up, and walks away from her but then stops and turns back to her.

"How Diane? How could you even think that I would ever do something like that? She's sixteen for Christ's sake, you really don't know me at all, do you baby? You don't know me nor trust me. Why are you even with me Diane?" He asks in a hurt tone. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have said those things. I do love you and trust you, it's just…"

"That you were hurt before and now I'm paying for, his crime. I was not the one who hurt you Diane and I have no desire to cause you any pain, even when I was a man whore I would never have willingly slept with an underage girl! Are you freaking kidding me? You entered the room and immediately brand me a child molester." He sneers. "Do you have any idea how much those words hurt coming from the person I love more than my own life?" He asks his voice fill with pain, the pain she caused.

She was about to answer but his phone rang again and he answers it. "Hey, Marlon what's up?" He listens for a while then said. "Yeah sure, I'll be there as soon as I can, alright, see you there." He said and ends the call.

"I have to go help Marlon with something." He said walking towards the door. "But baby we need to talk about this." "Talking won't make it hurt any less." He turns and left.

"All young ladies over the age of ten are banned from this house is that clear?" He said to Dana as she passes him on his way out of the kitchen. "Yes, I understand." "And I'm sorry to tell you this but you need to have a talk with your boyfriend about Treesia because she said that he has been touching her sexually and the man who owns the shop down the road from her house." He walks away from her, looks back, and could tell that she was crying but he restrained himself from comforting her and walks up the stairs.

Dana enters the kitchen and from the look on Diane's face, she knew that she had heard what Gabriel had just said. 'Dana I'm so sorry, I really hope it's not true, maybe she's lying." Diane said hugging her sister. "I hope so too but …um I was coming to tell you that the driver for the coster is here and I will be taking all the kids home." She said with a sniffle.

"Okay so much for our family fun day, I have really shoved my foot into my mouth and now my husband is mad at me, how could I accuse him of doing something like that, I'm so stupid. How the hell am I going to make this up to him? What the hell is wrong with me?" She cries. 'I just found out that the man I love may be a disgusting pervert but thanks for making this about you.' Dana thought shaking her head. "I don't know but I think you need to let go of what Kevin did to you and embrace the fact that you do have a faithful husband which is more that I can say for myself." She said wiping her tears. "I'll call you later." She said and with a faint smile and left the kitchen.

After they all left she busy herself with cleaning up the place and putting away the food that they bought and the cakes all the while trying to come up with a solution on how to make her husband forgive her.

She was practically beating women off him and now her very own family was added to that list and to hear that Dana's boyfriend may have had sex with her niece; God how disgusting, now her sister's relationship would be destroyed because of her sluty little niece and that disgusting man and what did she do, she put her husband, her drop-dead gorgeous sexy as a Greek god husband in that same category. How could she be that stupid and what the hell was she going to do now?

It was nine pm when she heard him enters the house that night; he didn't seek her out to hug and kiss her and talk to her stomach like he always does when he came home; she listened intently and heard when he went and check on jasmine who was sound asleep last time she checked, he then went into his study and close the door. Great, he was still mad; now what; she thought and began pacing their bedroom.

Alright, she had a plan maybe it will work or maybe not but she had to try something. Her plan had worked before when he was angry at her for forcing him to confront his grief so maybe just maybe this will work too.

So taking a deep breath she took off her robe and put on light blue lace lingerie and let her braids down her back then after looking at herself in the mirror she walks towards his study.

She slowly opens the door and walks slowly in closing it behind her; he didn't say a word to her he just glance up at her then looks back down at the papers in his hands.

She then kneels before his desk and held down her head. "What are you doing?" He asks in a cold tone. "Please forgive me." She said softly. "The only one you should be bowing and kneeling to is God and last I checked I wasn't him so get up." He snaps. "Not until you forgive me." She said her head still down.

"I have already forgiven you." He states firmly. "Doesn't sound like it." She mumbles. He groans run both his hands over his face and sighs heavily. "Come here." He said wheeling his chair away from his desk.

She got up and walks towards him and he pulls her down on his lap. "I have forgiven you baby girl but I can't seem to forget your words because they hurt like hell." He said playing with a few strands of her hair. "I'm so sorry baby boy, I wish I could take back what I said, you're a good man and you didn't deserve that."

"What's going to happen to Dana's boyfriend and that other creep?" He asks massaging her stomach. "I don't know, they may be locked up for sleeping with Teresia. She said massaging the front of his pants. "Baby you have to know that I would never do anything like that; I will never do anything to hurt or betray you. You, Jasmine, and these babies are my lifeline, you have to know that." He said with tears in his eyes.

"I do, I'll always remember that, always." She said kissing him passionately and kneeling before him again. "What did I say about doing that?" He asks narrowing his beautiful blue eyes at her.

"I know but this time it's not to apologize to you but to pleasure you." She said softly and smiles as he gasps and bits his bottom lips when she slips her fingers in his pants and wraps them around his erection.

Even though he had forgiven her the next couple of days were a bit strained and he said that it was because he couldn't get her words out of his head and she couldn't blame him; her words were very harsh but as the week went by the tension became less and less. Doreen has apologized to Gabriel for her daughter's behavior about a hundred times and counting and she hasn't seen Dana much since last Saturday but last she heard both Dana's boyfriend and the shop owner were arrested and her niece was grounded practically for the rest of her life.

She was driven to school and picked up by her mother and then she had to stay at the wholesale with her mom until closing time; eyes on her at all time, that was the plan; hope it works. But now Dana was single and hurt and a single mother once again and she didn't even know what to say or do to help her through it. Poor Dana she really didn't deserve it.
