*Steps inside* Hey everybody, I'm so sorry I'm late. Got caught up in my bag, but I'm here now. What I miss?

C H A P T E R
F O R T Y - S E V E N

          Sitting in the middle of her bedroom floor, Cali placed everything that belonged to her and Ahmad in a big box she had placed in front of her. This was her way of taking the first step in accepting what has happened and moving on. She started doing this the minute Ahmad came and got the kids, which was almost five hours ago and it was still hard for her to basically pack up a part of her life that she never wanted to end.

Coming across all their photos they took over the years of them being together, tears threatened to fall at her eyelids as she thought back on those memories.

Lifting up the picture they took together at Disney World, she smiled thinking back to when he cussed at that lady for laughing at her when she was eating that turkey leg and of course thought of the day where he later proposed to her.

The next picture was the photo they took right after he proposed, his smile was as big as the sun in this picture and Cali only wished they could go back to that moment and start all the way over again.

Placing each of the pictures in the box, she sighed before wiping her tears away and grabbing her glass of wine.

Holding up her wedding dress that was laying beside her, she examined it with more tears in her eyes before holding it close to her still smelling the scent of that perfect day as if it was just yesterday.

Folding the dress up neatly she placed it in the box along with her reception dress and heels to follow. She packed up their wedding photos, along with their honeymoon photos feeling her emotions start to get the best of her.

Hearing a few knocks at her front door, she slowly stood up and walked out of her room and towards the front door. Looking through the peep hole she smiled when she saw it was Alisha and quickly opened the door for her.

"Hey boo, come in. I'm almost finished packing up everything." She stated as she moved out of the way.

"You feeling okay?" Lisha questioned as she followed her into her bedroom.

Cali shrugged while she retook her seat back on the floor. "It's tough but I'm getting through it. Just looking at the pictures of us on our wedding day and my dress, it just really makes me regret all that I did and hate myself more."

Alisha felt bad for her friend and wished things could have really went differently for her and Ahmad. "Don't beat yourself up too bad over this. Maybe you and Ahmad just weren't meant to be, or maybe this just wasn't you guys time. This time apart is needed because you two can actually just focus on yourselves and work on the faults y'all have."

Cali nodded, "You're right, but it still gets hard ya know? I miss him, and it hurts seeing him be happy with someone else but I can't blame or be mad at him or anybody else."

"Have you seen what his new girl looks like yet?"

"Nope, she hasn't been around the kids yet and he told me once he figured out what it really was between them and would start having her around the kids that is when I would meet her." Cali explained and Alisha nodded.

"I'm curious to know who she is though, Shaun said he's seen her once at the shop and said she was pretty. But he kept saying how she looked familiar but couldn't figure out where he saw her before. So I asked for her name and his dumb ass forgot it."

"Ahmad has taste so I figured she was pretty." Cali shrugged as she sipped on her wine. "But I actually forgot her name as well, Ahmad told me the other day on the phone. I think it was Christina or something like that."

Feeling her phone vibrate against her thigh, Alisha grabbed it and smiled when she saw it was Crystal that texted.

- 7:44 pm

After that day Crystal did her make-up for her summer collection photo shoot, the two formed a good friendship. They sometimes would sit on facetime for hours talking about life and their kids, business, personal topics such as their emotions and feelings on certain things they're experiencing in life or even went out for lunch treating each other whenever they had the time.

Crystal was just an overall cool person to be around and her spirit was genuine so Alisha liked having her around not as just a business partner but as a friend as well.

Sitting her phone back down, Alisha looked back up at Cali who was still packing up their things. "But anyways so like I was saying, you and Shaun ain't no damn help." She huffed. "We possibly could've found the girl if we had her name."

"Why do you want to know who she is so bad in the first place?" Cali asked followed by a laugh as she finished packing away and her Ahmad's things.

Alisha shrugged, "Because I'm nosey as hell, I mean who wouldn't want to know what they bestfriend ex-husband new girl looks like?"

"Well we'll see her one of these days but until then let's finish packing up and changing this house around."

Alisha nodded, "Okay so what exactly are we doing?"

Placing the last thing that belonged to her and Ahmad in the box, Cali taped it up neatly and grabbed a marker titling the box under, "Memories," before standing up. "I'm gonna put this box in the attic along with our other boxes of stuff then I want to redecorate this whole house and make it into my home. I want to start fresh with it and give it a whole new look."

"Okay bet, so basically we need to start taking pictures and stuff down off the wall and pack them away as well?"

"Yes and no, somethings I am keeping like the black art we have all around the house I want to keep that scheme going but just with my own little twist. I was doing some online shopping and order a whole new living room set, kitchen set, bathroom sets, some stuff for the dining room and I was even thinking about doing something with his man cave downstairs." Cali explained.

"Oh yess, we need a lady cave. Take all his men shit out and pack it up and we can make that into like a lounge area, put up some cute lights .. you know make it real lady like." Alisha expressed envisioning it all now. "It could also be where you bring ya company." She winked as she nudged her shoulder causing Cali to laugh and shake her head.

"No'mam, I am done with men and relationships for a while. After Chauncey and all that mess I'm just going to focus on myself and my kids." Cali told her as they both walked up the stairs that lead to the attic.

"That's good and fuck Chauncey, yeah you weren't one-hundred percent innocent in the situation but he was still a piece of shit."

Cali nodded, "But the dick was good I'm not even gonna lie." She laughed, "He wasn't better than Ahmad, but he did put it down and for a young nigga I was shocked."

"Before I got with Shaun it was a young guy I used to sleep around with occasionally and girl when I say that little nigga used to put it down, I mean put it down." She admitted. "But then here comes Shaun and he just snatches my soul everytime we have sex."

"And that's exactly why you guys got three kids now." Cali joked.

"And who are you to talk bitch? You and Ahmad been poppin' out kids left and right too."

Cali laughed before shrugging her shoulders, "Ahmad was like a damn sex God or some shit. It was so hard to resist him at times and half the time he didn't even have to be doing anything. He could literally just be sitting there minding his business and I'm tryna fuck."

Alisha shook her head, "I feel that, but anyways are you ready to get started?"

Sitting the last box down next to the other things that belonged to Ahmad, she let out a sigh before nodding her head.

          After they took down and put up things Cali had ordered, the two eventually came to a stopping point when Alisha grew tired and decided to take a break to eat and check up on her babies.

Upstairs in her bathoom Cali stood in the mirror completely naked with tears falling from her eyes. Rubbing her fingers through her hair Cali admired herself long and hard trying to love the person she saw infront of her.

She resented this woman this was the woman who broke up her family, this was the woman who was constantly dishonest to her husband, and who let her child down. This woman she hated and never wanted to see or face again.

Reaching for the pair of clippers Ahmad had left behind, she stared at it for a brief moment before turning them on.

In one swift movement she shaved off a section of her hair, growing stunned at what she just did she covered her mouth as more tears fell but then continued what she started watching all her hair fall off piece by piece.

Pieces of hair fell at her feet and a new wave of something was coming over her and it felt good as she stared back at herself with tears still falling from her eyes.

When she was done, she sat the clippers down on the counter and just stared back at herself before smiling through her tears. Rubbing her hand over her head in shock, she eventually left out of the bathroom and walked back downstairs naked and all.

She could hear Alisha still on the phone and when she reached the front Alisha looked back at her doing a double take as stood up dropping her phone in the process.

Quickly picking it back up, she held it to her ear. "Shaun let me call you back."

Tossing her phone on the couch, she walked towards Cali with concern in her eyes. "Cali, what's wrong and what did you do?"

Cali simply shrugged as more tears fell, "I don't even know, I think I'm losing my mind."

Alisha stared at her now bald headed friend not sure on what to do next, she figured Cali was simply having a mental breakdown. Which she knew was coming since Cali now has been having to face all her demons in her sessions and with everything that has been going on all together.

But she was worried that this could possibly esculate.

"Do I need to call Ahmad?"

"No, don't call him. I can't have him see me like this." She sniffled as she roughly wiped her tears away. "I feel fine, I feel free. I'm crying cause I'm slowly starting to feel like myself again, but I also feel crazy."

Alisha nodded, as she discreetly grabbed her phone while Cali was busy looking at herself in the mirror she had placed in the living room to text Ahmad.

To : Brother In-Law💛
Ahmad I know you're probably busy with the kids or sleep, but I think Cali has really lost her mind. She just cut off all her hair and is walking around naked and crying, can you please come over here? I'll watch the kids for you, I'm just really concerned about her and I feel you're the only one who can get through to her.
- Sent at 9:43 pm

A few minutes later her phone vibrated.

From : Brother In-Law💛
My parents were already over here eating dinner with us, so just stay there. I'm on my way, just keep watching her and making sure she ain't doing anything too crazy.
- Recieved at 9:47 pm

Alisha smiled loving the fact that Ahmad still came running whenever something was wrong with Cali, despite all their issues she couldn't deny his love he had for her and she truly admired the way he treated her.

Focusing back on Cali who was now just sitting on the couch, Alisha just stared at her. She wasn't crying or anything she was just simply sitting there quietly lost in thought. So Alisha gave her what she clearly needed which was space and quietness so she said nothing.

"Since I started my therapy sessions she opened my eyes to a lot of things I've grown blind too. I always tried to ignore the issues I always had with my mother and tried my best to not be like her, but in reality I can't help but love and want a relationship with her." She stated speaking to no one in particular.

"I don't even know where my mom is, the last time I saw her was back around the time when I was pregnant with Adrian. She was out in the streets homeless and I felt so bad because I wanted to help her but I couldn't." She sniffled.

"I tried so hard not to be her, I never wanted to make my kids feel the way I did growing up. I want my babies to know I love them and that I would do anything for them, but I let them down. I broke up our home behind a man who isn't worth an ounce of shit, I ignored the signs of my baby being getting abused even though it was clear as day that he was." Wiping her eyes, she played with her fingers.

"Marquette doesn't say it, but I know that whole situation still bothers him. Derek said he opened up about a few things in therapy session, he couldn't go into details of course but he just told me I need to work on building back that strong relationship we had. So apart me feels as if he resents me a little and I see it everyday, he doesn't speak much to me but when he's around Ahmad its different." She sighed.

"He's way more open with Ahmad, if he's feeling bad or sad he goes to straight to Ahmad not me and I know why. He feels like I won't be there for him like I wasn't there for him when he needed me and I can't get mad because it's true."

"I already failed as a wife, I can't fail as a mother too." She sniffled, "I love my babies so much and I feel like they feel as if I don't."

Alisha shook her head, "Don't say that Cali, those kids love you and they know you do as well. This is just a hardtime for everybody, they all have to adjust to the changes that have been made and that's gonna take a while especially since the kids still don't know whats actually going on."

Cali listened to what Alisha, but said nothing in return. There was a brief silence that simply felt like it lasted only for a few seconds, but in reality that silence lasted for a good thirty minutes.

When their was a knock at the door Cali was unphased by the sound as if she didn't even hear it, so Alisha took it upon herself to let Ahmad in. Reaching the door she looked through the peek hole to see Ahmad before unlocking the door and stepping to the side to let him in.

"What's up Lisha? Where she at?" He questioned after they shared a quick hug.

"She's in the living room, she's been quiet for the past thirty minutes. She opened up a little, but I feel its more she's holding in." Alisha explained quietly to him as they stood by the foyer.

Glancing over towards the living room he nodded, "I got her from here, if you want you can just go home. I appreciate you for reaching out to me though, we gon' get her right."

Alisha smiled feeling they needed to be alone and actually talk for once with no one around to place their opinion or judgement. Grabbing her purse and keys, she walked over to Cali and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek as they exchanged, "I love you's,"

"Text or call me if anything else happens, and thank you for coming Ahmad. I know despite what all happened, she's a good person and has a good heart."

Walking Alisha out he made sure she got in the car safely, before making his way back inside to help get Cali back on track and figure out what exactly was wrong.

Shutting and locking the door behind him, Cali could hear his foot steps making their way towards her so she looked down to refrain from eye contact. She looked a mess at the moment and she hated he had to see her like this, but she was glad he was here.

When Ahmad took a seat across from her, he just stared at her. He looked at her now shaved head, her body, the way she was trying to hide from him just simply curious as to what was going on with her mentally and he wasn't leaving until he found out.

"We can sit here all night Cal, I got time." He called out. "I know you probably don't want me here, but Alisha was worried about you and honestly so am I. But we can't help you or understand what you're going through if you don't open up or let us in."

Cali sighed as she shook her head, "It's not that simple Ahmad, it's hard."

"Make it simple, when will you finally let me be there for you like you have been here for me for all these years? I know you have taken on a lot throughout the years of your life, but let me in for once so I can help you. Don't think, just talk and let it out. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." He expressed to her and finally after hiding her face from him she looked up and they locked eyes.

The eye contact held a lot of different emotions and feelings, words weren't exchanged and in a way it was as if they were just reading each other. Ahmad's eyes read concern, love and sadness, whilst Cali's eyes read fear, love, pain and regret.

A single tear fell from her eye and eventually Cali broke eye contact and sighed, "Let me go get dressed and I'll be back so we can talk."

Watching as she stood up Ahmad eyes never once left her body and mentally he couldn't help but think about how even after having four kids she still looked amazing. But he knew looks meant nothing if mentally she wasn't amazing herself and he was willing to do whatever to help her.

Despite their circumstances Ahmad didn't wish bad on Cali and just wanted the best for her. He wanted Cali to find happiness within' herself like he did, it was no better feeling of having that certain self-confidence and happiness with your self and he wanted Cali to have that exact feeling for once.

When she returned she was now just dressed in a pair of lounge shorts and an oversized TSU shirt. Carrying two blankets, she tossed one his way then retook her seat and got comfortable as she mentally prepared herself to spill all her emotions she constantly bottled up over the years.

Getting comfortable on the couch, Ahmad stretched out and propped his head up with his arm and waited for her to speak.

"I guess I'll start from the beginning." Clearing her throat, she crossed her legs in the couch and looked down at the floor while playing with her finger tips. "From the moment we met I was instantly drawn to you cause something about you felt like a cry out for help and for some odd reason I wanted to be that someone to fix it. Despite you being overly attractive and charming, the want to help you became a goal of mine."

"And once I got to know you and I learned all the hardships and heartbreak you endured I became devoted to curing that pain and being your happiness. But while I was being your happiness and being strong for you, I was battling my own issues and wasn't happy myself." Feeling her eyes start to burn, she blinked a few times letting the tears fall before continuing. "I love you Ahmad, but during the course of our relationship I became drained because it always seemed to be something going on and yeah you didn't ask me too stay and deal with any of it, but I felt obligated to do so because I loved you and felt the need to be strong for you."

"Why didn't you ever say anything Cal? You know how I am when it comes to you, I would have literally dropped anything I was doing to make sure you was good." He expressed.

"I didn't want to become a burden, you were already dealing with so much I just didn't want to bother you with my shit."

"You were my wife Cal, your shit becomes my shit! Just like my shit became yours. This is what happens in a marriage we take on each others problems and work together to solve them, but you never gave me the chance to do that for you and that shit hurts. All this time you been suffering and I had no clue."

Cali sighed, "I know Ahmad and I was wrong, I should have opened up to you about feeling drained within' our marriage and about the postpartum depression I was experiencing. I was losing myself and didn't even realize I was, I became so immune to acting as if everything was okay that it seemed real. I've been having to act strong all my life, I've been programmed to accept the things that happen in my life and to move on while remaining strong to show no sign of weakness." She shrugged.

Ahmad stared at her for a good minute before looking down, "I totally understand what you mean. Before I met you I didn't open up much to anybody, I bottled up everything to save myself from looking weak and to possibly relive those moments of pain again. But the one thing I learned in the midst of us being together was that letting people in for a chance was actually beneficial, it saved me from judgement since people actually knew my story, the different advice I got from people helps as well and it helped me overcome the issues I had mentally and emotionally."

Cali nodded, agreeing. "You're right and the change along with the growth I have seen within' you has been beautiful. I fell in love with seeing you happy, I fell in love with being that backbone for you to lean on when times got hard. I got so hooked onto being all that I could be for you, that I forgot to be the same for myself and let you be the same for me as well. But that was due to my own personal fear of not wanting to add more issues on your plate."

"I get it, trust me. But your happiness was always a main priority to me Cali, all I ever wanted was for you to be completely satisfied and happy with me and it really breaks my heart that a part of you wasn't. To know now that you became drained with my issues and was losing yourself doesn't make me feel good at all, it makes me reflect on the things I lacked in as a husband. I should have considered your feelings more before just depending on you to make me happy or depending on you just to be there. Like I said before that was selfish of me to do so."

Standing up, Cali stopped him from talking. "No, I chose not to open up. Ahmad you always peeped when things were off with me and you always went out of your way to try and make me feel better. You did everything you could to be the perfect husband and the perfect father to our kids, but I fell short. I was damaging our relationship by being dishonest to you and lying to you constantly. I should have spoken up but I just didn't know how without making it seen as if I wasn't happy with you because I was, I just feel maybe things for us just happened too fast and at the time when I thought I was ready for love I really wasn't."

"I mean think about it, when we met you were damaged from a lot of hurtful shit and the amount of love and support you needed was suppose to come from a strong woman. I was weak and tried to be strong but each problen we faced was slowly killing me and I didn't know how to save myself."

By now they were actually holding eye contact as Cali talked and Cali couldn't figure out what emotion his eyes held. He looked sad, apart of him even looked guilty.

But Ahmad just simply nodded, he kinda didn't know what exactly to say so instead he just didn't say anything and let her continue to get all that she needed to say out.

"But it's more I need to tell you. I've hid this long enough and out of all people you deserve to know the actual truth of everything."

Feeling his heart drop more, he sat back and mentally prepared himself for whatever she was about to spill.

Taking a few deep breaths, Cali paced the living room not wanting to share this because she knew this was really going to hurt Ahmad, but she knew this needed to be said, she knew he needed to know the truth for once. "The night I slept with Reggie for a brief moment I didn't feel guilty."

Soon as that left her lips, she saw Ahmad close his eyes and let out  a breath to keep himself from crying. Cali wanted to end the confession right there, but she knew she couldn't.

You already started girl, just tell him the truth. She mentally said to herself as her hands started to get sweaty.

"But I didn't sleep with Reggie out of spite or anything, that night Reggie just simply brought me back to who I used to be for a moment. When we were talking he just randomly blurted out how I had changed and of course I wasn't sure what he meant by that, but then he explained how I used to be and compared it to how I was now and at the moment I felt it." Noticing Ahmad wasn't looking at her no more but instead up at the ceiling, she turned away and continued talking.

"I felt what he meant and I began to open up about everything to him like I used to before he changed. Reggie and I had an amazing co-parenting relationship, we were friends and we always used to come to each other about our problems. But then it was like the moment you came into the picture, shit just went left for us and I was so confused as to why. So in that moment it just felt like old times again and it felt right, I was smiling a real smile for once, I laughed a real laugh and I got hooked onto that feeling and I fucked up." She admited. "I was confiding in another man and didn't see anything wrong, I let another man inside my head to blind me from his true intentions and I jeopardized my whole family behind this stupid mistake."

"So that night I confessed to us kissing, I couldn't bring myself to tell you everything about us actually going further because I saw how much it hurt you just to know he kissed me." She admitted and Ahmad just lowly laughed to himself.

"I know that seems like a bullshit excuse, but I wanted to tell you. I wanted to tell you everything, I just didn't want to lose you. But I see now that me being dishonest and constantly being untruthful and only considering my feelings is what made me lose you forreal and I'm sorry." She sniffled as she started to walk towards him.

Dropping down to her knees, she reached up to touch Ahmad's face to force him to look at her and she could see the sadness and and heartbreak in his eyes which only broke hers more. "Baby, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for everything."

Ahmad still said nothing as he looked down it, gently moving her hands off of him he stood up and began to walk towards the back door grabbing his keys off the counter, while Cali followed.

"Ahmad, I know I can't take back all of the lying that I did and the lying that I proceeded to do, but know that I am so sorry for hurting you the way I did. You did not deserve any of this and I hate myself everyday knowing I caused you so much pain."

When he made it outside, he said nothing. He just stood outside by the pool and looked up at the sky with tears falling from his eyes, with his back facing her Cali stood back just watching hoping he didn't do anything too crazy. She heard him sniffling so she knew he was crying, but she wished he would say something instead.

She knew this would have been a lot for him to take in, but she felt better at the fact that he now knew the truth and she didn't have to lie anymore.

Not saying another word Ahmad went out the back gate and left leaving Cali standing their alone watching the gate he just left out of. Dropping her head in defeat, she sighed not expecting this to be his reaction. Feeling tears swell up in her eyes, she mumbled out a soft "I'm sorry," before turning on her heels and walking back inside the house.

"Alexa play Love You Too Much by Lucky Daye"

Speeding down the road Ahmad's mind was all over the place, hearing Cali open up about all of that hurt him even more and he couldn't deal with it. Wiping his tears away, he slightly jumped when his phone started to ring looking down at his phone he saw it was Cali calling.

Rolling his eyes, he ignored her call. Putting his phone on do not disturb, he turned his radio up and continued driving with a heavy heart trying to clear his mind to a destination he grew to find comfort in over the years.

Only one person knew of this place and that was Crystal, it was a place he has been coming to every since he was in high school. It was easy for him to clear his mind and get the space he needed whenever it was a lot on his mind here.

He often came there to either cry, talk out his emotions, or pray to God for guidance. He sometimes would scream and yell to let out his frustrations, this was his safe haven and he was shocked that after all these years nobody has yet to discover this beautiful landmark.

The place was an old cliff in the valley's of Houston that gave off the perfect view of downtown Houston.

He brought Crystal here one day to vent to her and the two ended up staying there for almost three hours just talking and gazing over the nightlife of the city.

Crystal sometimes would take her son there after work, and they would just chill. She saw why Ahmad loved the cliff it was peaceful and beautiful and could easily calm anybody's nerves.

When he arrived to the cliff, Ahmad shut off his car and got out to sit on his hood but not before he sent one last text.

Taking his seat, he looked up at the sky at all the stars as more tears fell from his eyes. "I don't know how to feel Lord, I'm hurting when I don't want too. I'm tired of crying over the same bullshit, I'm just ready for my official happy ending to come. What more can I do to stop this heartache?"

For about an hour he sat there in silence until the reflection of lights came into view and the sight of that all black 2020 Chevy Malibu brought a smile to his face as he hopped off the hood.

Crystal got out after shutting off her car and quickly embraced him into a hug wrapping her arms securely around him as he did the same snuggling his face into her neck.

When she felt his tears hit her shoulder, she pulled him closer and rubbed his back up and down in a soothing motion. "You wanna talk about it?" She questioned softly causing him to pull back some to see her face.

Staring at her for a while he slowly shook his head no, before he gently cupped her face with his hands and pulled her in for a kiss that was slow, passionate and needed.

Crystal hungrily kissed him back as she placed her hands at his waist side with her eyes shut tight.

The sound of thunder caused both of them to jump away from each other followed by laughter. A few seconds later the rain began to pour down soaking their bodies up instantly, but instead of rushing to take cover Ahmad kissed Crystal one last time before grabbing her by the hand helping her get inside his truck.

Shutting the door behind her he slowly jogged to his side and quickly got in as the rain began to fall harder.

Glancing at Crystal who was already laughing, they both laughed as they looked around. "Well that rain was unexpected." She called out as she started shaking from being cold.

Turning his car back on, he turned the heat up and removed the hoodie he was wearing and tossing it. "You can take those clothes off if you want, we probably gon' be here a while and I swear I'm not even on some tryna have sex shit tonight. I just needed to see you, I don't think I would've been able to last a week."

Blushing at his words, she began removing her soaked shirt as the sound of the rain poured down on his truck like a mad man.

Watching her every move, Crystal soon took off the sweats she wore leaving her in the matching bra and panty set she had on. Her nipples were poking through the bra she wore causing his dick to instantly stiffen so he looked away.

"I'm suppose to be the only one stripping down? You better drop them clothes nigga." Crystal joked as she threw her hair in a messy bun.

Laughing Ahmad waved her off and began taking his clothes off as well tossing them to the back. Once he was left in his boxers, he looked over at her. "Happy now?"

Nodding her head, she smiled. "Very, now come on talk to me. Tell me what happened?"

Letting out a sigh, Ahmad sat back in his seat. "I honestly don't even wanna talk about that shit no more or at least at this moment, its just gonna fuck up the vibe we got going."

"I get that, but I'm still worried. Are you sure everything is okay?" She questioned making him stare at her eyes, when his eyes traveled down to her lips he nodded.

"Yeah, the minute you got here everything got better." He admitted truthfully.
