Chapter 136 Sub 22

Responding to responsibilitiea like i should but how?!

Clinton was irritated over the relationship between Jeff's family and mine, he said what that to get me irritated and i wondered why?! I beamed at my Father's statement.

  "Dad, I'm smart! Absolutely!" I bragged a little 

  "Not smart enough to keep your home, especially your wife, my Gia!" Father stirred up. A long face settled on my face, i sighed.

  "C'mon Dad, don't insult me that way! I've always been..."

  "..Always been what, Kareem?!" He questioned sarcastically, he turned his back at me. "I know what i went through when i lost your mother over some misjudgements! I regretted every moment of that experience..." He turned to me "...Its not about Gia leaving, its the arms of the man she runs into. The moment Danni kept that ring for me, it changed...everything changed. She was in the arms of another man, Hunter. Yes, that Hunter!" He stated because he saw the impression i gave when i heard him mention that name. I've heard that name a Couple of times when i was little. "He took her in when i told Danni to leave, he gave her everything i couldn't give, he was at the verge of getting married to her but life took a turn. I was given a second at love, i fought to have my woman back. Now, that's what you should do..bring Gia home regardless of the decisions she's taking or forcing you to take! She's only mad! Women rant when they feel uncomfortable and insecure, they'd always say something to prove their sternness!" Father stopped. I nodded in agreement to what he narrated, he was right.

  "You're right, Dad! Now i understand why Hunter has always been a part of your arguments lately! But father, this is Gia not mother. Gia's too unforgiving, she wants me to have a surrogate and guess who's the pathetic lady?! Tiana!" I snapped. Father laughed hysterically, i wanted to bury myself under the ground.

  "That's ridiculous! She's going to hurt you in the ass real soon!" He laughed again "Whatever it is she said, you can't let her win! Take her in, accept her delusional quest and then you teach her a lesson but before then; you've got to find who's that asshole fighting so hard to get your wife's attention..." He chuckled "If any man dares to stare at Danni differently, he'd lose his life; no one dares that...you know that, don't you?!" Father added. I felt that my actions had been underestimated and I've done nothing much to get Gia. Did i let my naughtiness take the best of me, i asked myself.

  "I'd do just that! I should've known!"

  "Yes foolish boy, you should've known! You didn't have to interrupt my privacy last night, Kareem, I'd let it slip only because you're my son, lucky you!" He gave me a light punch on the arm "I'd love to meet that little boy who's sworn to not let you sleep or your mother and i have a nice time. Hmm?!" He added with a bit of seriousness. I smiled faintly.

  "Yes, of course!" I stopped then continued "What about the industry?" I snapped. I couldn't hold it back, i had to ask.  

  "Neither you or Clinton is ready to take that position at the industry, i guess I'd have to find someone better. Earlier, y'all tried to feed on your mess! Despite everything, prove yourself to me; Kareem. Prove yourself, boy!" He added sternly.

Two days later, 

My Jeff and Lamar invited me over for a time out on a yacht cruise, Lamar's courtesy. He was excited over his wife's return despite the misunderstanding then i asked myself why can't Gia and i stop chasing the invisible. We gathered round drinking as always as Jeff stirred.

  "Tiana's really making a mess she probably can't clean! I fear for her ass, she's not gonna last with those accusations!"

  "Can we not talk about me right now, its Lamar's moment not mine!" I pointed out

  "I've got nothing to talk about....at least i got my wife and daughter back!" Lamar supported Jeff, they were against my suggestion which means I had no option than succumbing.

  "Do i have a choice?!" I snapped and we all smiled "I'm making progress and soon it'll be all over in public but not in private though!"

  "Private? You mean, y'all are gonna screw again? Kinda!" Jeff teased and they laughed but it wasn't funny to me at all. I frowned a bit.

  "I'm dead serious not joking, how could you say a thing like that though? Do you think..." I cautioned

  "Heyyy Kareem, chill out! He's only kidding!" Lamar interrupted instantly. I was getting tensed at that statement.

  "Well, that's not funny!" I corrected them proceeded "Gia's asking for the impossible right now! Guess." I inquired

  "Y'all should adopt a child? Maybe?" Jeff blurted

  "Or maybe she's leaving for good? Maybe found someone?" Lamar added

  "Hell no! She wants a surrogate.." I stared while they gave me a positive look, they felt it was great. "And that surrogate would be Tiana!" I added and this time their thick dark brows tilted at once. "that's right, it's exactly what you heard!" I added again.

  "That's not possible, Gia can not opt that crappy idea!" Jeff added defiantly

  "Didn't your wife tell you?! I mean, women talk about everything so you must have heard!" I added sarcastically

  "Gia can never ask that, you've got to be kidding us!" Lamar added in disagreement "And what are you gonna do about it?" He asked

  "Do it her way!" I Snapped. I thought about fathers' advice abd decided to play along my own way.

  "You sound like you've got a plan so tell us everything in details!" Jeff demanded. 

  "My pleasure!" I snapped with a smirk to begin.

Days on.

I had to convince my mother about taking Timmy with her and she affirmed to it only because of father's persuasion, we tried to keep our plan between us excluding mother, she'd flare up instead. To keep Gianna and Tiana under same roof would cause a stir and keeping Timmy would be traumatic, I'm certain.

I drove to a cafeteria just around the corner after my fitness routine at the gym, i was stunned at what i sighted. Gianna and a man i recognized were chattering and laughing as well, i couldn't hold my anger or put my emotions together. I tried to act cool then i ordered margarita, i took a sip but my digestive system was dysfunctional, i could feel it. I was heating up, i was restless. I've been nothing but faithful whether or not Gia was in my life, i tried to prove a point to not just my friends, Gianna and even my parents but myself that i could do better and not flirt regardless.

As soon as he tried to kiss her on the lips, i lost my sanity. I scurried over to where they had been sitting, i threw a punch at his face. Gia sprang up on her feet in awe, she had no idea i was somewhere around. As she tried to stop me from hitting him, i gave her a daunting look and she refrained forcefully. 

  "You could lurk around but touch her, get your ass off of her!" I warned

  "What the hell, Gianna. Who's this..." Garry asked feigning then i hit his face again, i smirked.

  "I'll see you soon!" I added

I refrained not to cause more commotion, i've had a couple of problems which still needs to be fixed. I turned to her, i was disappointed because i finally uncovered the man she's parading with. Father's advice and influence had an effect on me.

I held her by the arm then stormed out of the premises reaching for my car at the car space.

I drove us home. We stormed into the house then i slammed the door afterwards. I could tell that she was in total distraught. 

  "Baby..." She began then i chuckled

  "Do you really wanna call me that this instant?" I chuckled. I leaned over to kiss and her lips parted, i refrained. I laughed in mockery. I had no intention to kiss her. "Oh! Now you wanna kiss my ass?!"

  "Jordan..its not what you think..." She added pleadingly

  "...That's exactly how cheaters sound, that's the phrase! Right there!" I cautioned "You are really disgusting right now..." I blurted angrily, her eyes welled up "You found yourself a new guy, he's now your man?"

  "Jordan? just let me explain, please?"

  "Explain what?" I yelled out and she got startled

I headed to the bedroom and as expected, she followed. I didn't want the whole household listening to our howling conversations.

  "How could you do this to me? We are separated not divorced and you go out there kissing a man? You thought i wouldn't know or find out?" I questioned

  "What is wrong with you, Jordan? Can we talk like adults in here?" She inquired. She's got lots of guts, i muttered inside me. I sat on the edge of the bed thinking. I've longed to have this woman next to me and now she's here but i can't find the peace i've been searching for. Seeing Gianna with another man getting cozier struck  me in the marrow, i was hurting.

  "Did you go out to meet Garry the day you crashed? Was he the reason we lost our child? Was he the better one? Who's this Garry who tried to get me ridiculed?" I asked but she was silent although "Who the hell is Garry, Gia?" I yelled harder than earlier

  "An old college friend!" She snapped trying to keep her composure. I turned away with a faint smile.

  "Cool! I actually thought that i was the inconsiderate one but i'm not, i'm holier!" I blurted "You made me feel sick! I thought that I was the sole reason you lost our child, i wanted to believe that Tiana was responsible but no, you're goddamn responsible for our child's sudden death!" I pointed out 

  "Don't say that, Jordan! I had no idea..." She tried to be defensive

  "...I also had no idea that Tiana had my child, i had no idea that she'd return...as your friend!" I yelled again. She was sobbing already. "You embarrassed me every single time i tried to bring you back..you made it seem like i was never ever better!" I stopped. I held my head, i was somewhat emotional but i couldn't let her see my tears. "Did you ever love me  or maybe you wanted to use me to get to what you wanted...just everything..." I blurted then she nodded negatively.

  "Jordan. I'd never do that to you, i've always loved you...." She was defensive almost yelling

  "...Why Garry? Why now?" I yelled, this time i sprang up 

  "...You started all these shit! You lied to me Jordan, i was a stranger in my own home! I had questions...i was ridiculed. She had what i didn't have, i thought that you'd never see me special. I don't know what came over me that i...." She broke down in tears, she curled up on the ground. I wasn't moved at that, i felt she deserved toncry after all the lonely nights that i had to overcome.

  "Did you screw him?" I asked calmly but sternly

  "Jordan...." She called instead

  "Right!" I snapped turning away. Maybe she did and maybe she didn't. "You know what?" I leaned over her tpas she lifted her eyes to meet mine "We are getting a surrogate and that's no one but Tiana!"

  "I didn't mean it, baby..." She snapped, it sounded truthful then i smirked instead

  "You can't play games with my emotions, Gia! Isn't that what you wanted, we'll do just that and believe me, you'd hate and love me for this!" I walked away.

  "Jordan, can we just talk this over?! We can have a child anytime, just you've always told me. Can we just do this again? Garry is no one. I don't love him at all, we were just hanging out and i went overboard...lets do this again!" She stated calmly

  "We would babe, maybe i should screw you and Tiana. A threesome kinda thing!" I added, her face depicted anger.
