Truth hurts part 3

##Joana##

Derin clearly don't agree for our kids to go visit his dad for 2 weeks, The kids was going on break from school. Didn't he wants my opinion?

Derin: There not going especially unsupervised.

Joana: I'll go

Derin: What?

Joana: We can go and supervise

Derin: Me going, is out of the question

Joana: Alright I'll see yall later, mom book the ticket for 4. Here is my card..

I hand her my debit card leaving the house. The pain was unbearable, I hailed a cab, Asking him to drive as fast as he can, for me to seek medical attention. Ever since Derin had me on his insurance I've been going to one doctor. I called him letting him know I did not feel good. He advise me to come now he got an open window Walking inside I told the doctor everything, even the staircase incident. He checked me

Doctor: You weren't pregnant, what you are is stressed, your period wasn't going to come on but the fall change that. Your fine.

He prescribe me some pain medication to help with the pain and the heavy bleeding. He advise me to look into abusive woman counseling, Saying "if this boyfriend is putting his hands on me than he may require professional help as well.." He also urge me to let my body rest or it will take the sleep by force. Florida might be what I need.

Arthur: Hello?

He said picking up my phone call

Joana: I need a few weeks off am at the hospital

Arthur: Oh are you okay, Did my cousin do something? Was it the stairs?

Why was everyone in my business? Why is he telling Arthur what's going on with us? I quickly hung up to call Andrew.

Andrew: Hello

Joana: Why would you tell Arthur about the staircase?

Andrew: Babe I was scared and you were bleeding alot.

Joana: To see if you should lawyer up?

Andrew: What? no, I was scared I push you away, your the first relationship I got into since my ex wife. I was careless with her; taking it easy, Letting her go in and out whenever, now she's gone. This time I'll calculate better, I really do care about you, I don't want us to end, I feel like if your around me fully I can protect you better, I can't sit back and let life happen, it screwed me before. Babe I...

Joana: You need help, seriously. Am going to Florida with Derin, the kids needs to visit their grandfather. We will talk about us when I get back.

Andrew: Alright babe

Joana: Do call I want to keep up with your progress

Andrew: Haha alright

We hung up, Thinking it works better when he tell me Why his being so over protective. I hailed a cab to go home. Arriving at the house I seen a tow truck dropping off my car, Guess Andrew had someone fix the Flat tire; guess Arthur towed my car to my house since I won't be going inside the office for a while. Walking in I could sense the level of disapproval in his voice. I couldn't argue I was mentally exhausted, Physically in pain and bruised. I made my way upstairs to my room, He followed.

Derin: Joana?

Joana: Yes

Derin: We shouldn't go to Florida tomorow

Joana: Tomorow? what time

Derin: 7am, Its a 2 hour flight

Joana: Okay.

I didn't want to get undress infront of Derin so he don't see my bruises. I pulled the covers climbing under it fully clothes

Derin: Joana your not listening

Joana: It's for 2 weeks we will survive

Derin: Noone wants to litsend to me Alright.

This is when I would leaned in and kissed him to calm his nerves Back in the days. I laid my head on the pillow and quickly fall asleep. The next morning my daughter came in my room

Joane: Jerry is waiting to drop us at the airport are you ready?

Oh no I forgot to pack. I grab a big size purse, I got toothpaste and my toothbrush. Some shorts and panties I'll buy some clothes when I got there. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth using a disposable toothbrush I've always kept in the bathroom just in case Andrew wanted to come over. My baby girl was starting to look like her daddy so much. Nice smooth brown skin, two shade darker than Andrew, full lips. I walked downstairs and got into he Car

Jerry: Alright let's go

Derin: I cannot believe we're going to Florida

Jerry: Why are you so bum?

Derin: They don't know my dad that's why yall so calm

He kept complaining the whole way there haha I miss that. Normally Andrew would fuck me for disobeying him leaving my abdomen sore. Derin could go hours yet It didn't hurt, he knows the inner work of a woman. I was in my head during the flight I didn't realize when we arrive in Florida..

Derin: Here we are

Derin Jr: Is that where you meet mom?

Derin: Haha yes, The girl who like bubble gum and pigtails

Joane: Was mommy a mean girl growing up?

Derin: Haha some would say that

But she got an heart of gold once you decide to stick around.

They were laughing talking of the past. This is where me and Derin started. After everyone Got their items, We hailed an cab. Florida haven't changed, beautiful tropical breeze, Derin Dad live in Broward, 40 minute drive to Miami. He hated his dad, no one knows why? He would tell me bits in pieces but not everything. The kids was over the moon to finally meet their dad side of the family. Derin stares were like daggers hahaha. We pull up to a khaki and white house medium house, Looking upstairs I seen a additional room, Hmm that wasn't there before?

Derin: Alright kids let's go say hi than we go check in at a hotel, I've been meaning to take yall to the parks they have in Orlando

All excuses not to have to spend time with his dad. We knock on the door, Joseph phanor answered. His hair fully white now, Soft green eyes, Nice tan skin, Guess he was still working at his construction company. The years made him look even more dashing. Yes Haha Derin was half white hahaha.

Joseph: Hey, Are those my grandbabies?

The kids automatically knew who was standing infront of them they rush to him giving him a huge hug. After several minutes it seems hard for him to let go of the twins.

Derin: We are going to check in at a hotel

Joseph: None sense I made a room for you and your wife, the babies can have your old room

Joana: Thank you

I cut in before Derin said something rude. Me and him got settled into the room he made upstairs. The house was originally 3 bedroom Haha guess he made it 4. The room he gave us was very large and well put together. You got your bed, drawers, Closet, Built in bathroom Haha

Derin: This is a mistake am telling you.

Joana: So one bed, Are you okay with sleeping in the same bed as me?

Derin: As long as you and the baby don't take too much space.

Why did he say that? That Stupid Andrew.

Joana: Right, am going to freshen up, You think you can bring Me to some stores to get clothes?

Derin: Yeah okay.

I finish taking a shower, headed downstairs.

Joseph: That quick huh

He joked, haha I giggled at him calling Derin a minute man, Derin didn't Crack a smile once, he did not find it amusing.

Derin: Let me get your keys

Joseph: Alright

He tossed him the keys to the truck, I lost my virginity in that truck hahaha. My babies enjoying some family movies downstairs in the living room. Derin kept huffing and puffing on the way to the stores Haha. I found the store I wanted to shop in. It was thin clothes but fully covered, My bruised haven't healed yet. At the store picking clothes to put on I heard "Derin! What your fine ass doing in Florida? I heard you got married and move out of state?"

Derin: Rachel hi

I turn to see this very curvy woman with light hazel eyes staring back at Derin, Completly ignoring me.

Rachel: How long you in town for?

Derin: A little while

Rachel: Mhmm so when we gone link up?

She said pressing his arms? This girl got me fucked up!

Joana: Um babe who's this?

Derin looked at me than respond

Derin: Rachel, We knew eachother growing up

Joana: Oh

Rachel: Who's she?

Joana: Joana

Derin: The mother of my children

Rachel: Oh baby moms, So anyways Derin, We should really link up, You at your dad's house?

Derin: Yeah

Rachel: I would love to see your kids

Joana: Hmm. Am done Derin Let's go

Derin: Have a good day Rachel

Rachel: I can't believe your still so fine after all these years

Derin: No faith in a brother huh?

Rachel: Haha alright go head same number?

Derin: Uh no let me see your phone?

Was he seriously putting his number in her phone right now? Infront of me? Is he serious. "Calm down remember your with Andrew." I felt myself digressing

I walked my stuff to the cashier to cash out. She cash me out I paid and I waited for his rude ass in the car.

Derin: Maybe this isn't a bad idea

He said sitting in the car next to me, I had half an mind to knee him in the neck but am obviously tripping.

"Ring ring"

Joana: Hello?

Keisha: Your mother insist me and Jerry comes too with our baby.

Joana: Hmm maybe you can help your homeboy Derin not be such a hoe!

I scream not realizing how loud that came out. Derin was laughing like am making a joke.

Keisha: Haha what happend?

Joana: Some little tramp came by getting his number

Keisha: Ouhh

Joana: She have the nerve to call me his baby moms

Keisha: You should of told her you got the ring bitch!

Joana: I do got the ring. I want to see what trick is going to get it off my fingers?

Keisha: Girl maybe I should come, Bae got 2 weeks off too. His just scratching his ass int he house. I should show the hood how Keisha end up

Joana: Don't come down here to flex

Keisha: Haha that's all I do baby!

Joana: Your a fool

Keisha: Dang, I haven't heard from you in a minute I thought I liked Andrew for you but good dick got you dodging folks.

Joana: Haha shut up your on speaker phone.

Keisha: Obviously Derin got himself a little sugar thing for the trip. Why we can't talk about another guy's penis?

Joana: Ahem.. It wasn't all that..

Keisha: Hahaha he aint pulling 4 hours?

I was trying to keep it down but Keisha Loud ass. Derin kept smilling, this is horrible.

Keisha: Bae get your shit were going to Florida.

Jerry: They said yes!

I hung up, they obviously wanted to come. Derin Didn't say anything as we approached his dad place, thank God! I wasn't in the mood to tell him about me and Andrew sex life.

Joana: Thank you

I walked inside to change. He didn't come upstairs, my whole back was blue and purple now, It's so difficult getting out of the clothes led along putting another one on, I thought it was getting better but it looks like it's getting worst. My legs, My arm, everywhere but my face was looking horrible ugh just how hard did this dude punch me?

"Knock, Knock"

Derin: Were having dinner Dad order Chinese take out. You coming?

Joana: Yeah, be right there

##Derin##

I don't know how Joana got me into this. Her pregnant ass. She's been more quiet than usual, it was refreshing to see her acting a fool at the store haha even when she move out the ghetto the ghetto still remains in her Haha Such a fireball. I wonder if he thinks that's cute like I do? Am tripping again, I should focus on surviving these two weeks. I can't believe am back here. the kids seems to be enjoying my dad, I haven't seen him pick up a bottle once, I got my eyes on him. I walked back downstairs where my kids was enjoying their honey garlic chicken wings with fries. Joana came by with Black pants and a turtle neck shirt? Does she understand how hot FLorida is?? She confuses me. She ate very little, shouldn't she eat alot since she's expecting? Any ways when she was done she rushed back upstairs.. Me and my dad tuck in the babies, He even read them a story before bed haha Derin Jr enjoyed it. Why was she sleeping so much? I guess pregnancy will do that. I took a shower climb in the bed next to her. Man she smelled like her strawberry soap, Being this close to her was giving me a reaction, How do I react to her even when we are no longer a factor? to keep my mind off wanting her I went to sleep. Waking up next to her felt somewhat familiar, She put her hands in between her legs? I remember she use to sleep with her hands over my lap. Why did she keep to herself when she's sleeping now? I wouldn't mind her hands over me. Can't believe she called me babe at the store, I've miss that. I got up to get ready for the day.

Keisha: Leve(get up) dam yall still sleep? yall did a marathon again?

Keisha said coming in my room. Am in the bathroom brushing my teeth, I poke my head out to see her talking to drowsy Joana. I doubt she heard anything Keisha said.

Keisha: Dam did you miss him that much?

Joana: Who?

Keisha: Derin, You know he make you feel like this every morning.

Joana: No, I didn't..

She said trying to keep it together, in a tiresome tone.

Joana: I Haven't slept with anyone. For about one week now Keisha. Oh God what am I saying! Keisha shut up!

Haha She haven't been giving dude some? That didn't sound like Joana? Her sex drive its to the ceiling if she really dealing with you.

Keisha: You been over his house the whole two weeks you telling me

Joana: Yes, I haven't been in the mood. Plus we keep fighting over something I feel like should be my choice. Noone got the right to tell me when to end my marriage

She said pulling the sheet over her returning to her nap. I finished and proceed downstairs. Guess homeboy been trying to persuade Joana to give me a divorce? I went down stairs to find Jerry meeting my dad, why are they here?

Jerry: Am your son Best friend

Dad: Are you now.

Derin: WHY are you guys here?

Jerry: I was a little mad at you for messing things up with Joana, now I gotta call this new guy my friend but I don't like his vibe. Now I see yall in the same room together did you and her make up.

For the life of me I want to kill my bestfriend he couldn't hold water?

Dad: They are not together?

Jerry: Haha keep up dad, Okay, so Derin Cheated on her with this sexy Latina, Naw she was sexy for sure.

Dad: Get to the point young man

Jerry: Anyways, you know Joana have anger issues, She slapped him twice, One she wasn't in the mood she was exhausted dealing with Keisha at the hospital and two when she found out he was intimidate with Cecilia at first we all thought it was just words but Joana boyfriend who's a lawyer and a shrink stated he was already involve mentally with Cecilia so she cheated way before. Joana being the center of attention yet again, explain she had agreed to be his secondary girlfriend because she wasn't ready to let go yet.

Dad: While she had a boyfriend?

Jerry: Oh no, Joana Got a boyfriend after Derin went to Brazil, With this girl than call Joana to tell her he will be permanently relocating to Brazil and wanted to discuss how will he see his kids.

Dad: I see

Jerry: Yeah now this new guy have been taking all Joana time, We haven't seen her in weeks.

Dad: Son?

Oh here we go

Derin: Yeah

I said with a attitude.

Dad: Your uncles and aunty will be coming into town we will be going camping

Derin: Another fishing convention. Even with your grandkids you can't skip one convention

Dad: Get ready

Keisha: Derin!

Jerry: Oh something is wrong! She got the manman bear coming out of her.

Keisha ran downstairs stomping her big old feet all over the house.

Keisha: I hope you got a good explanation for them bruises on Joana?

Derin: Wait what? Bruises

Joana: Keisha Shut up!

Keisha: Naw, You couldn't forgive her for wanting someone to love and appreciate her that much Derin

Dad: Hmm

He said combing his beard with his hands. That's not good, Thats not good at all.
