Me and the kids been doing just fine by ourselves. Damien had finally stop calling me like he was crazy. He came by last weekend and got the kids. They told me all about his new apartment. They was excited. My boys was sad that their dad wasn't in the house with us but they was getting use to the idea. We was all in the living room watching tv. My phone rang. I saw it was Kita.
"Hello." i answered.
"let's go to the mall." She said. I really didn't wanna go anywhere but I had been in the house with the kids for months. It had been a minute since our ladies night.
"Alright! I'll see if the kids daddy will get them for a few ours!" I told her. I called Damien and he was happy to get them. He was doing any and everything to keep me happy. I actually loved the new him. He had spent more time with the kids these last couple months then he had in all the time we been together. I couldn't even lie I kind of missed him at home. I told him I would drop them off on my way to the mall.
When i made it to his door, i called him and let him know that i was outside. By the time we made it up to his apartment, he had the door open and was waiting by it. I had to admit, he was looking good. He always was a looker. That was the problem. He knew he looked good. Had the nerves to have his chest out. I was almost tempted to stay there with them.
"Here's the kids." I said As i turned around and started to walk away.
"Wait, Shunshine." He said as he looked me up and down. I had lost a little bit of weight so i knew i was looking good. My personal trainer had me on a strict diet. I was following it to the tee. He looked like he wanted to eat me alive.
"Baby can we just talk. This has gone on long enough. I told you that girl wasn't pregnant. I haven't even talk to her since the day that's she called. Baby just give me another chance. I can't even sleep without you. What you want me to do? I'll do anything to be with you and the kids."
I looked at him and instantly got mad. How dare he talk to me about this in front of the kids. I politely put my daughter down. The boys looked at me with questions in their eyes. I didn't even say anything. I just walked out the door. To hell with him. He should've thought about me and the kids when he was out sticking his dick in everything. Now he want us. Where was this Damien when i was at home crying because my husband wasn't home? Where was he at when i had a long day? Did he not understand that this was hurting me to? Even thought i didn't want him, i was still in love with him.
Me and Kita spent all day at the mall. We shopped until we dropped. Shared a couple slurpees and shopped some more. She tried to get me to talk about Damien but i was not in the mood for that. She understood. After shopping, we decided to eat in the food court. As we sat at the table, i noticed a light skin dude looking at me."Kita, you see dude at the table behind us? He keep staring over here." I said self consciously. I took another look and he smiled.
"Girl, if he look good, walk over there and get his number. It's about time you get out and date. It's been months since you left your husband. I know your kitty dying for some attention other then your fingers." She said as she sneaked a peek.
"Girl, he fine as fuck. What the hell you waiting on." She whispered.
I took another looked. Damn, he was good looking. Very muscular and tall. Had a mouth full of gold. Just like i like them. With a look that scream thuggish. I was basically salivating at the mouth. I tried to take another look. When i looked up, he was walking towards our table. I got nervous.My palms was sweating as he approached the table.
"Hey." My name Micheal and i couldn't help but come over here and say some to you. Can i have your name and number to call you sometime?" He said.
I was not ready for that. I was still getting use to the idea of being alone. I still need to heal.
"My name Shunshine. I'm not really interested in getting to know anyone right now." I said.
"Can't blame a brother for trying." He replied back with a smile. I almost gave in. He hand me a business call and told me to call him if i change my mind. i looked at the card and saw that he was a mr. fix it man. He fixed on houses and appliances.
Kita looked at me and rolled her eyes. "Girl you might have let your future walked away. You gave that wack ass Damien a change. That man was too damn fine to turn down. If i wasn't married, I'll call his ass. I'm tempted to call him for you." She said with a shake of her head.
"Girl bye. I don't need another man. I need my kids. And Hoe don't worry bout my kitty. I got enough toys to keep her satisfied. " i said with a laugh. We got up to walk to our cars.
As i drove home, i thought about Micheal. Could i really be letting Damien keep me from being happy. I don't know but i knew one think Micheal had a smile that will melt your panties off. Damn, he was fine!
Everything that could go wrong this morning has! The kids and I overslept. They was moving hella slow and i was very annoyed."Mommy, I'm tired." Aza whined."Well you should've went to bed. Instead, you wanted to watch frozen." I scorned her.No sooner as I closed my car door to drop the kids at school, my phone rang. It was my assistant Zaria. I don't even answer because whatever it was could wait until I made it in. It was times like this that I miss Damien. He would've at least dropped the kids off for me. Speaking of him, he had been sending me flowers and small gifts every week. The little things that he use to do. I guess you gotta divorce a man before he realize that he wanted you. I had heard that the girl was actually pregnant. Everytime i thought about it, i got mad. So sending me gifts wasn't gone work. But i had decided that it was time we talk. Christmas was coming up and i wanted the kids to be happy.
I decided to stop at the local diner after work. Today was a hard day. We have been really busy at the bakery. I was thinking about hiring more staff. I was even working more hours than i normally had to.I had missed lunch and was starving.I took a seat at an empty booth and waited on my waitress to come. I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. As I looked at the menu, I heard a familiar voice and looked up surprised. I did not have time for this stuff today."Hey, beautiful." said Micheal. "I see you never called me. I'm a good guy. Can i sit with you?"I nodded my head. This man was just so fine. I was not about to keep turning him down. What was the harm of having a simple lunch together?"How has your day been going?" He asked.I sighed and went into details about my work day. He listened with real interest and was genuine in his responses. I had to admit he was easy to talk to. The waitress came and too
It was finally the night of me and Michael first date. My girls was at my house. They was suppose to be helping me get ready. The kids was with my mom so i had a free weekend. I was going through my closet trying to find the perfect outfit before Sheka did my hair and makeup."Wear the red dress with the 10 inch red bottoms." Suggested Kita."I'm not trying to look like a stripper on our first date."Michael and I had been texting everyday through out the day. He made sure he called me every night. We sat on the phone for hours. I felt like I had known him for years. I told him about my marriage and where it went wrong. And he told me about his marriage. We both needed real love in our life."When do we met him?" Asked Jessica."Will y'all please let us get through our first day first? Y'all just wanna be up in his business. You guys I really like him. So let's not run hi
Micheal and I had been dating for a couple months. Things has been going good. Damien had got the divorce paper, and decided to sign the them. He hasn't sign yet though. He has been trying to talk me out of going through with it. I haven't told him about Micheal.I was at Damien's picking up the kids. He was rushing around the apartment trying to get the kids things together."Shunshine, just go one one date with me.""i will not. I told you I was past all that and besides don't you have some else you need to be worried about. Like signing our papers. Why is you making this so hard? I didn't ask for anything. You can see the kids when you want. I just want this to be done.""But i just want us. I promise I have changed.""Damien, I'm seeing someone, and it is serious."He looked at me like I was lying. I don't wanna hurt him but it was time that he knew the truth. We was over."But baby I stil
Today was the day that the kids meet Micheal. I had already told them about him. The boys was kind of mad but baby girl was excited to meet mommy's friend.I had changed my clothes a dozen time. I was nervous for some reason. I was sitting in the kitchen on the phone with Kita, waiting on the boys to finish getting ready. The only reason they agreed to go was because I promise they could ride the go cars. My boys liked anything that they could drive."Kita, what am I gonna do if the kids doesn't like him?" i asked,"Girl, them kids can not live your life. Stop worrying and put yourself first for once. They are old enough to realize that you not with their sorry ass daddy anymore and that you deserve to be happy." She never let Damien make it. She always threw some kind of slick insult whenever she mentioned his name. You would've thought she was the one that was married to him."I know but I want them to like him. If my kids
I had just left girl's night with the girls. It had been a minute. We all been so busy in our everyday lives, that we rarely had time to catch up. Kita and her man has broken up. That shocked me. He was always good to her. Hardworking man. He worshipped the ground she walked on. She said she needed some time to herself. I don't believe that for a minute. She was gone end up telling me sooner or later. My girl couldn't hold water.I was on my way to Micheal house. We had been going good. I was at his house every other day. He had even given me his spare key."Hey Baby." Micheal greeted me as i came through the door. I was fallen in love with this man. "Hey bae." I replied back. "What we doing tonight?""I was thinking about just staying in and cooking for you." He said ."That's fine with me."I loved a man that can cook. He was from the south so he could cook cook. His momma made s
"Damien, just sign the damn papers. What I do is none of your business.""Who is this dude that you had around my damn kids? I'm not signing shit. You belong to me. I thought If I gave you a little time that you would let me back in the house," he screamed in the phone.I was getting a headache. We had been arguing on the phone for the last hour. He was mad because the kids told him about us meeting Micheal at Incredible Pizza. I was so over his little temper tantrum."How is your other baby momma? You seem to forget about that situation. It's funny she finally stopped calling my phone as soon as I put your ass out."I really didn't care about her being pregnant anymore. That was his problem. My days of worrying about who and what he was doing was behind me. But he was pissing me off. Just sign the damn papers. He act like he had any right to be mad. Dude was a trip. Sometimes I wondered how I ended up falling for someone as contro
Ring. Ring. Ring.I wake up to my phone ringing on the night stand. I hit the ignore button and tried to go back to sleep. I had a serious hangover. All i needed was a little more sleep to face the day.I guess after Micheal realize he was blocked, he started calling private. I had to give it to him, he was very persistent. I just wanted to clear my head before I talked to him.Ring. Ring.Uh. Not again. I picked the phone up without even looking at the screen to see who was calling."Please stop calling my damn phone." I said, thinking it was Micheal."Well damn. What the hell i did to you" asked Kita sounding all hurt."Girl, I thought you was Micheal cheating ass. He won't stop calling my phone. I can't even get no sleep"Kita paused for a minute, being all dramatic. "Well duh Guh. That's why they invented putting your phone on silent. To silence any unwanted attenti
It was Christmas Day. I was curled on the couch with Damien, while the kids opened their gifts. We had went all out this year. Everything they wanted, we got it. Damien grabbed my hand and held it in his lap. I was content and just going with the flow. I laid my head on his shoulder and just watched our kids run around the room. "Mom ,you got me the new iPods." Junior asked me excitedly. "I love y'all." I was glad that we was financially stable enough to buy expensive things for the kids. Christmas was the only time of the year that we gave them things that they really didn't need. As long as they did good in school, we would over indulge them on Christmas. Christmas time was my favorite time of the year. It always made me feel like a little girl. I could remember rushing in the front room to open presents when I was a little girl. My mom would spend all morning cooking a feast and baking cakes. My daddy would
I woke up the next morning with a headache. I could barely remember the night before. When the fog in my head finally cleared up, I remembered my night with Damien. I rolled over to the other side of the bed to make sure it wasn't some dream. Damien was turned towards me with his arm throwed across my body. He was still sleep and lightly snoring. I couldn't even lie. It felt good to have him here.Aza came in the room and climbed on the bed."Mommy, why is my daddy sleeping in your bed. I thought he had his own room now." She asked curiously."Aza come on let's go down stairs and watch Paw Patrol." I hurried and got her out the room . I want ready to answer that question . He'll I didn't know the answer myself.I decided to get up and fix breakfast. Me and Aza was the only two up in the house and it was peaceful. I love moments with my daughter. She was smart and much too curious.Shw helped me fixed br
It had been a three days since my last night with Micheal. I woke up the next morning and left him a note that I hope he have a happy life and cut off all communication. I even changed my number. I can't lie like I don't miss him but my heart was more important to me now. I could not afford to make the same mistakes again. Damien has been real supportive. He had been at the house more. It was Christmas Day Sunday so we decided we was gone spend the weekend at the house as a family.We was all in the living room putting the finishing touches on the Christmas tree. I was in a festive move. I love this time of year. The kids was all happy to have their dad their. He was running around the house acting like a little kid his self."Who wanna put the star on top of the tree this year?" I asked the kids."I think Aza should do it." Replied Damien. "She have never did it before. She was always too little."He reached down and put her on hi
I woke up this morning feel good. I got the kids ready for school and sent them on their way with their dad. It was his turn to drop them off. He tried to talk about the kiss the other night but it was already behind me.My phone had been pretty quiet lately. I guess Micheal had finally got the picture. I jumped in the shower and got dress. I stopped at Krispy Kreme because I was craving for one of their doughnuts. I always felt like i was cheating on my bakery when i ate their tasty creation. I couldn't help it. Ring. Ring.It was my phone again I looked at the screen it was Micheal. I had unblocked his number this morning. I had decided it was time that I gone end this once and for all. I was never gonna let another man hurt me again.I hit decline. Talking to him was gone happen later today. I'll give him a call after I ended my work day.I pulled up to the bake
