Charity| C H A P T E R • F O U R T E E N

           My figure was back to normal and I was back to the old me. Part of me did mature for my daughters behalf but I was still the Charity that was caring and honest. My life was going good so far with me and Lucas's end but I needed to branch off from him. I haven't been out in so long and I just feel like besides Ava, my all of my time is going into this relationship.

I needed a man. Not some little boy with ambitions to win over a girl he wanted or to do what he wanted, I needed a man who can take care of me and cater to me sometimes. I'll always have love for Lucas but our relationship wasn't supposed to go as far as it did. Ava is the best thing that has happened to me but I didn't wanna get pregnant at the time I did.

I was at home doing some work on the computer when I heard Lucas walk in and my angle talking gibberish.

"You love Daddy?" He asked her. She responded yet again with more gibberish.

"Hey baby," I kissed her on her chubby little check and she smiled up at me.

"Mama." Lucas scanned over my outfit that was laid on my bed and his face expression changed.

"Were the fuck you think you going with that on?" He asked. I almost cursed him the fuck out.

"Lucas you don't own me, I wear what I wanna wear and I'm going on a blind date."

"Tuahhh. That's what you think you doing."

"Were not together and I'm not Ava Lucas don't fucking play with me," I said angrily.

"This shit ain't a game Charity. I'm deadass and if your try to leave I'm dragging yo ass back in here. And think I'm playing."

"Watch me," I got up and grabbed my things before getting in the shower. It was getting late pretty fast and I still needed to get dressed so I hopped out of the shower and lotioned my body with my favorite bath and body works Japanese blossom lotion.

I decided on wearing an orange tube dress from Fashion Nova ( In M.M). I was wearing nude heels but I slipped my army fatigue slides on until I got to the club. I came out the bathroom to have Lucas hot on my heels.

"Hell naw."

"What?"

"Don't play games. You know damn well that shit to short. And I don't know why you doing all this extra shit cause you not going no were. So take that shit off and sit down somewhere," he said.

I just chuckle and picked my baby up, "bye baby mama's going out tonight but daddy will be here to watch you. I love you"

"Charity. You got ten seconds," he said sternly.

"Bye Lucas." I proceeded to the door but he was to fast for me. He came behind me just as I was about to leave and wrapped his arms around me to that I couldn't move.

"See look what you did. You getting him excited and shit," He chuckled in my neck.

"I don't care Lucas let me go," I laughed.

"No."

"Stop for real I'm not playing, I'm gonna miss my date," I whined.

"I don't give a fuck. Yo Charity you making me mad."

I yanked my hand away from him and set myself free from his embrace, " I don't give a fuck."

Slapppp.

"Watch your fuckin mouth. You been willin lately Charity," he yelled scaring our baby her small cries began to echo through the house. I hated that she had to see this.

I just looked up at him in disgust. Me and my baby will not be in this environment so I quickly went to our room and picked her up from the ground and put her on my His as I found one of my big Louis Vuitton duffel bags and began to stuffed it with clothes for me and Ava for as long as we needed. He was rambling about some other shit but I wasn't hearing it. I blacked out. I tried to soothe crying Ava and concentrate but I was growing angry.

"Were the fuck you think you taking my daughter?" He asked.

"Fuck you, you might never see Ava again. I hate you," I screamed and ran as fast as I could out of the house and into my car. He raced after me and was now banging on the window, almost breaking it.

"Open the fucking door now," he screamed. I cried looking up at him. No more.

"Fuck you Lucas, I can't take this anymore. I deserve better." I don't think he will every understand my worth but he will learn. I drove off into the sunset with just me my baby and a duffle bag full of clothes.

"What happened are you okay?," Jordan asked standing at his front door.

"No," I whispered.

"Come in."

I walked further into his house and a feeling of comfort washed over my body. He walked me to his spacious room and I just drifted off.

"Do you wanna talk about it. I'm here for what ever Charity and I promise I won't judge you.," he said in concern.

"No can I just sleep? Can you just hold me?" He just looked at my brown eyes in sympathy and shook his head. I changed into one of his oversized t-shirts and snuggled me and Ava under him. He just held us all night long.
