Lavi continye (Life continue)

##Derin##

Counselor: She smart to fight another way after evaluating the situation at hand, She isn't weak. She may be the best lawyer we seen yet!

What was this old lady smilling about? I got up and left. I didn't know her office to ask her what time she got off. Am sure when she is ready I'll pick her up.

I drove home thinking about what she said "I just want you" One minute she wants me the next minute she didn't. She was exhausting to deal with. I reached home. I know Cecilia was coming over later. Why didn't she tell me she sent in her Divorce paper? That made me happy to know she is mine and no body else's. I got home took a shower and went to bed. Joana had me get up early for the kids and stayed up to go to this counseling. Why she act so surprised that's how I felt? She knew.

My phone interrupted my sleep. Oh shoot what time is it? I looked in my phone Joana text saying she took an taxi. Cecilia called alot. Haha Did She missed me?

Cecilia: Hey

I could hear the upset tone in her voice.

Derin: Hey babe

She didn't say anything. It was the first time I called her babe.

Cecilia: Haha hi. Do you want me to come over now?

Derin: Yeah come am up

##Joana##

Keisha was standing outside my house wondering if I was home. She was looking at the car.

Joana: Hey

I said coming from behind her.

Keisha: Hey how did therapy go?

Jerry came out his house heading to us.

Jerry: Hey

Joana: My feet is killing me. Let's go inside and I'll tell you.

I was soo nervous To tell Keisha my decision to be a side chick. I got inside kicking off my shoes. I had my yellow and black stripe suit. I took off my vest. Jerry and her took a seat in my kitchen Watching me took of the load. I smiled and sit infront of my concern friends.

Joana: Well Derin is dating

Keisha: So soon?

Jerry: Who is he dating?

He said licking the chips Crums off his fingers

Joana: Cecilia

Keisha: That bitch..

Joana: Haha it's my fault. Derin is a catch in every way I can't blame her for wanting the prince charming.

Keisha: So yall

Joana: Am his secondary

I said getting up heading to the fridge I didn't want them to see the shame on my face.

Jerry: So... your his side chick?

Keisha: Joana No!

Jerry: Go Derin!

Keisha: Won't that destroy you?

Joana: Hah being destroy to win his heart back Or to unbreak his heart is a win.

Keisha: Aww baby girl

I didn't want them to see me crying.

Joana: Am going to bed! Keisha cook me some calalou(okra) please?

Keisha: Yeah sure

I went to bed. He didnt loved her yet so maybe I could make him love me again.

##Derin##

Cecilia: Your really good at that.

She said after enjoying eachother.

Derin: So your divorce got processed this morning??

Cecilia: Joana told you haha I was going to wait.

Derin: That makes me happy.

I rolled on top of her kissing her. I love the way she blushed.

Cecilia: Anything happend in therapy today?

Derin: You won't believe it. Joana explain she will be dating me as well.

She got up from the bed holding the cover over her breast.

Cecilia: What?

Derin: Yeah

Cecilia: What did you say? you said no right?

Derin: Well

Cecilia: Well what? you said no right?

Derin: She..

Cecilia: Spit it out she what?

Derin: Why are you soo mad?

She got up from my bed. Her body was soo prety. She grab her clothes Cursing in Spanish leaving my house. Dam it! Roberto did the same thing to her. Dam Derin. I ran after her explaining I told Her she is my main but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

##Cecilia##

It's been two weeks since my Divorce papers file. Derin kept texting and calling but I didn't pick up. How do I compete with his wife? Even if he tells her am his priority? it's best to let it go now before my heart gets hurt.

Roberto: You bitch

He open the door grabing me by the hair. Draging me upstairs.

I kicked him causing him to fall down the stairs.

Cecilia: So you didn't think I could read well you prick?

Roberto: Why would you ask for 5 million

He tried to get back up, he twisted his ankle and his shoulder got dislocated rolling downstairs.

Cecilia: I gave you 5 years. You don't think I deserve 5 million. It's nothing to you

Roberto: You file with main court?

He knew where all my family stay I need to be smart about this. I walked over and helped him off the floor. I helped him to a chair.

Roberto: Why are you helping me after I just assault you

Cecilia: We are not enemies. I am sorry I should of ask. I want to have a fashion line back in Brazil. I spend so much time here that I am afraid being a fashion designer is out of reach for me.

Roberto: Ahh it hurts

I went upstairs getting the first aid kit. It's not the first time he came home bruised with broken bones. I clean the wound wrapping It in bandages. I pop the shoulder back in place.

Cecilia: You don't have to give me the 5 million. Anything you think it's fair am okay with it.

I said kissing his forehead.

Sigh I miss Derin so much. Maybe I was over reacting. He was nothing like Roberto. I took a shower, when I went to the bedroom. There was guys getting Roberto stuff out my house. I walk downstairs to find him leaving his key.

Roberto: Another time perhaps lia. I know your account I'll transfer what I think it's fair. One guy was helping him in the car. Just like that Roberto was out my life. Derin am free and we are arguing. Sigh maybe I should go over his house and work it out. I walk to the fridge grabing my bottle of wine.

I was happy but sad. I would love to make love to Derin right now. The more we enjoyed each other the more I crave his touch when he was not near me. Sigh I miss his scent, his full lips, How...

"Knock knock"

There was a knock at my door. I've been waiting for Joana to confront me about my relationship with Derin. I walked to the door. Soon as I opened the door. He leaped in my embrace kissing me apologizing for him not being firm with his wife.

Cecilia: Babe..

Derin: I'll go over her house now. She wanted to..

Cecilia: Babe!?

Derin: Sorry, Yes.

Cecilia: It's fine. You will sleep here with me not out. Remember am your main no one else. I could understand how she wants to apologize for what she did but it's us

Derin: Okay so are you asking me to move in?

Cecilia: Haha I guess I am

He leaned in kissing me some more. I missed him soo much.

Derin: So since she is my second girlfriend. Am I allowed to?

Cecilia: No

Derin: Babe

Cecilia: Once a month if you must

Derin: Fine, So can we get something to eat. Maybe a restaurant or something?

That would be our first date. I couldn't wait to be his forever. The wife could try but am his priority.

##Joana##

At the office waiting to shadow am not sure who was my person but I didn't care.

Arthur: Hey you ready?

He said coming in my office.

Joana: Yeah

I followed him to a room where other lawyer was working hard. Am not sure why am I here? My help wasn't needed. Arthur would look over and smile like something was funny. Before we left for the day he gave me a ticket to dispute. That was the easiest.

Joana: Okay I'll get it done. Have a good day.

I drove my car home. My real estate sent me some property. I sent them to Derin, I wasn't sure if he want to but am sending it.

##Derin##

She is serious about this. Cecilia was asleep. She slept so cute. Looking over these properties they look nice. Still close for the kids school. I found the one I liked So I sent it back. Then laid back down Kissing Cecilia forehead. She sleep so deep when we finish enjoying eachother. Her room looked so dark. We need to redecorate of course. Today my daughter wanted to go to the pool. She wants to show us her improvement In swimming.

I got up and cooked breakfast. She woke up with just pantie and brah exposing her belly button and tattoo. She was so attractive.

Cecilia: Am I invited babe?

Derin: Of course.

Regretting I didn't talk to joana about this first. While she was getting her breakfast.

I walked outside to call Joana to warn her.

Joana: Hey.

Derin: Cecilia wants to come

There was a long silence. Was she going to curse me out again or?

Joana: Yeah that's fine. Am sure Joane wants to show off.

Derin: Alright, keep Keisha on a leash please

Joana: Okay

We hung up. I went back to where Cecilia was eating breakfast.

Cecilia: Which pool?

Derin: We are going to Joanas parents house

Cecilia: Maybe I should stay home?

Derin: Nonsense

I was hoping she change her mind. We got ready. I prolong so much not wanting to go with her but she is my girlfriend now.

Cecilia: Babe we already running late can we go please?

Derin: You sure you didn't forget something?

"Like you have a headache or something?" I thought

We drove to joana mom house. Keisha and everyone was in the backyard. I walked in and went straight to the pool area. My baby was showing off her skill am so happy to see that. Everyone was looking at Cecilia. Joana dad smoking a cigar, The mom working the grill, Joanas by the pool supervising. I told Cecilia to go seat in one of the Available seat by the pool.

Joana: Hello

Derin: Hey

She kept looking at the kids. Sigh Joana why did you agree to this?

Keisha: Hi derin

Keisha said sitting by the pool next to us. I waived to Joanas parents. The dad nodded but the mom kept cooking ignoring me. I figured joana told them.

Derin: Hi keisha

Jerry: What's up bro?

Derin: Nothing.

He was in the pool. Joane walked over to Cecilia and invited her to the pool. She did bring a bathing suit just in case. She took her clothes off and jumped in the pool with the small child. Joana got up and went inside. Jerry was smilling so hard. Keisha followed joana inside.

Jerry: Two girlfriends.

Derin: It's not as pleasing as it seems

Jerry: Dam playing your cards right have benefits.

Derin: Why do you say such things?

Jerry: Easy.

Joana came back out and called the babies out the pool to get some snacks. Cecilia swam to us.

Cecilia: She's really good

Derin: Am so proud of her.

Jerry: You got your belly pierce and a tattoo?

Cecilia: Yeah

Jerry: You are full of surprises

Cecilia: What do you mean?

Jerry: How is he treating you? let me know if he hurts you.

She was smilling cause Jerry wasn't complex, I was happy he was making lite jokes with her. Joana left the kids eating their snacks. She went to help the mom cook the food, after The mom called her. I turn to see her mother fussing at her but the dad stayed silent. Joana kept explaining something but I wasnt sure what?

Joana mom: Derin!!

I heard her scream

Jerry: Oh shit!

Cecilia: What?

Derin: Nothing, I'll be back

I walked over to Joana's parents. Joana was looking down. She always had the most respect for her parents

Joana mom: Ou retounen pitit mwen ban mwen? (You return my child back to me)

Joana: Ma it's complicated

Joana mom: What's complicated? huh? He comes here with some other girl not you, help me understand?

Joana: Please not here

Joana mom: Than where joana? I understand things may have happend between you guys. But that's marriage. If you guys were not ready for marriage than yall shouldn't have gotten married.

Joana was trying not to cry, she kept faning her face.

Joana Mom: This is my child. If you don't want her anymore fine. If the Spanish girl is who you want, return her to me. She came from me

She said slapping her gut

Joana mom: I won't throw her away. When you love someone you don't throw them away. Fix your face Joana. Fix it or I'll fix it for you.

Before I could say something Cecilia screamed

Cecilia: Babe are you getting in?

"No" I thought. " Dont talk Cecilia"

Joana mom: Ha ou wè (You see)

Joana: Mom

She was sobing as she tried to make her mom stop. Dam this girl kept getting to me, maybe bringing Cecilia around her was a cruel punishment.

Joana mom: You jump on my daughter and you go to her.

Derin: Can..

Joana: Were not sleeping with eachother.

Joana Dad: Derin?

Derin: Yes

Joana mom: No I need to know...

Joana dad: Enough woman

He commanded Making joana mom stop talking but still taping her feet on the floor

Joana Dad: Joana told us what happend. I know marriage is hard. If she did something It might hurt but saying your vows at the alter is a big deal to God. God respect that alot.

Joana mom: Wap remet li? (Are you returning her) pou respect nou la,(Out of respect) You could of come by saying "Ma I can't live with your daughter I thought we were made for each other but I was wrong. So I brought her back.

To a haitian parent you simply bringing back their daughter is you breaking the relationship off. Sigh I don't know. That's not what I wanted to do. Cecilia makes everything complicated.

Joana mom: Okay fine. You can't decide. Give me my daughter back. Your not responsible for her. The marriage end here then?

She said studying my face. Joana was looking to see what will I say. I didn't want to make that decision now. To end a relationship with my wife should be my decision and mine alone. I turned and told Cecilia "let's go!"
