Twan

"Oh hey Twan." She smiled and pushed her hair back from her face.

"Wassup?" I stepped back, sliding my hands in my pockets.

"Oh nothing. Just meeting a client and was on my way out to meet my sister. What are you doing here and where is Nedra?"

"Home. Well it was good to see you." I smiled and walked around her.

"Twan!" She yelled and I turned around waiting for her to say what she needed to say.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm good, but thanks for asking." I turned and left her staring after me.

I wasn't one of those men that just because I had issues in my marriage, I would open up to the next female about my problems. That's how things turn into unwanted drama. Sure it would be easy for me to go out and fuck the next broad, but even though my wife hurt me, I don't have the heart to go out and do what she did to me.

I sighed and headed to the elevators. I had no idea where I was going, but all I knew was that I needed to get out and clear my head. All I was doing was thinking and the more I thought the more my heart broke. I really wanted to go see my lil man, but right now I didn't want to deal with Nedra. I stepped on the elevator and pressed the floor for the lobby.

I leaned back against the wall and closed my eyes. Never in a million years would I have thought this shit would have happened. It makes a nigga feel less than a man. This shit is just crazy as hell. The elevator doors opened and I stepped off heading to my pearl grey BMW. I hit the keyless entry and stepped inside. I sat there for a moment and finally started the car.

As soon as the radio came on of all the songs that could play it was, I Don't Ever Want To See You Again. In my mind that's how I felt, but in my heart it was something else. Matters of heart can be something else. This love shit and marriage shit is hard work.

My mind trailed back to the good times we had. I could only smile. I remember the first time we met back in Victoria's Secret. I knew once I laid my eyes on her things would never be the same. I just want to go back to the way things were, but I knew that wasn't gon' happen no ways soon. I was so deep in thought as I listened to the words of the song, that I didn't realize that I was headed in the direction of my house.

I knew it was inevitable, but I just needed some clarity in hopes that it would ease my pain. I turned into the driveway, shutting the car off. I stepped out and ran my hand across my waves. I walked up to the door and stuck the key in the lock. I stepped inside and it was quiet. I walked up the stairs and went into Ty's room. As soon as he saw me he ran to me.

"Daddy!"

I picked him up, hugging and kissing him. I missed him so much and I knew that he missed me too. "Where's mommy?"

He lifted his hand and pointed to the bedroom door. I nodded and sat him down. "Go play and I'm going to talk to mommy. I will see you in a lil while."

"Okay." He took off back into his room.

I smiled and shook my head. He was so full of energy. I took a long deep breath and finally walked into the bedroom. When I opened the door Ned was coming out of the bathroom wrapped in nothing but a towel. My eyes scanned her body. I mentally groaned and shook the thoughts off that were in my head.

"Nedra."

"T-Twan....."

Valerie

"What are you doing here Val?" Camille asked as she took a seat.

"What the hell does it look like I'm doing here? I replied smartly.

"So who pissed in your cornflakes this afternoon?"

"I could ask you the same thing because you don't look too pleased." I smirked and took another sip from my drink.

"I'm just having a lil trouble hear and there, but nothing that I can't handle. So tell me Val what have you been into these days?"

"Working and trying to stay out of trouble, but I think this time I have really gotten caught up in some shit and I don't know what to do."

"Who is she?"

"Who's who?" I heard a voice behind us.

I turned and it was my sister Amber.

"Nobody Amber." I rolled my eyes because I knew how my sister could be and I knew I couldn't tell her what I had done.

She looked at Camille in disgust because she didn't like her at all, especially how she did Jacoby. Jacoby used to be best friends with our brother, but that ended after our brother slept with Camille and got her pregnant.

"Val what the hell are you doing with this peasant?"

"Amber don't come in her with your shit." Camille said.

"Bitch do you own this bar? Hell no, so I can come in here and say whatever I want to."

I knew things were about to get hectic so I decided to pull my sister away and leave Camille there alone. It was already enough shit going on as is. As soon as we were a good distant from Camille, Amber lit into my ass.

"Valarie, why in the hell do you deal with that girl. She ain't nothing but trouble and you know this. Her and brother ain't shit."

I just looked at her because I knew she was right. I just tend to get myself caught up in bad situations all the fucking time. I guess now was the time to tell her that I had slept with a married person and possibly I had caused damage in their marriage.

"Amber I have something I need to tell you, but I don't want you flipping out."

"Oh hell. Val, what the hell have you done now?"

"I slept with a married woman."

"You did what? Amber there are plenty of single women out here. Why in the hell would you choose a married woman?"

"Because I'm in love with her......"

August

I woke up and laid Day in his bed and changed Shariah. I didn't intend to fall asleep, but I was tired. I walked downstairs and I found Desire sitting on the couch looking over a bunch of paperwork. I walked around standing at the edge of the sofa. I studied and watched how she was concentrating really hard on what she was doing. She tucked her hair behind her ear and then looked up at me.

"What is it?"

"Oh I was just watching you. Is that a problem?"

"I guess not." She said as she went back to doing what she was doing.

I sighed and slid my hands in my pockets. This shit was killing me and I hated that Desire acted as if it wasn't phasing her.

"Desire why do you act like this separation ain't phasing you? I mean you so damn cold."

"August how do you expect me to act? What you expect me to just act like shit ain't happen. What you want me to pretend when I'm hurting like hell. I mean you won't fucking talk to me. You keep me shut out and that's not how marriage works."

"De-" I was cut off by the doorbell ringing.

I walked towards the door and it was a courier. "Package for Desire Alsina."

"I'm her husband. I will sign for it." I signed for it and he walked away.

I looked at the package and closed the door. I walked back over to her and handed it to her. "This came for you."

She looked at it and then to me. She took and opened it. When she did it was a blank disc that said Watch and be Surprised!  She looked dumbfounded and so did I. For some reason I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. This made me think about that damn disc she got when Chandler was being a nasty lil muthafucka.

She moved the papers off her lap and went to turn the tv on. She then put the dvd in and pressed play. As soon as the images popped up I froze because I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Desire moved back shaking her head as tears streamed down her face. I jumped up and cut it off.

"Bay-

"No! Don't fucking touch me! G-get out!" She yelled as she started swinging on me.

"Desire I-I...." My voice trailed as it cracked with raw emotions.

I guess this was the last straw and this was it for me and  my baybeh......

Things are going to get really interesting.

Excuse Mistakes!
