"Baby we can call the divorce lawyers and tell them we aren't getting a divorce", I said still hugging her but I felt her loosen her grip on me.
"I didn't say I didn't want a divorce I'm just going to see if you can really do what you say you will. Everything is still going to be the same, I love myself more than anything and you've torn me down to the point of us needing to start all the way over again. If you really want me you are going to work, and I mean work hard as h*ll to get me back. I'm done trying for us and trying to keep us together, I'm done chasing you 'Xavier it's your turn. Catch me if you can", she let me go and she walked out the house.
I stood there flabbergasted for a few minutes because I wasn't really expecting that to happen like that. I thought once I apologized she'd want to not go through with the divorce but now I'm very perplexed.
"Now that is a real woman, I like how she knows how to keep her head above water even when you know deep inside she wants to drown. She staying strong for herself and you aren't used to her doing that, you just want her to come into your arms every time you mess up but she's done being your doormat 'Xavier. And believe me, she going to give you so much h*ll, yo butt is going to be on fire everyday while you're walking on broken glass. It's not easy repairing a broken woman's heart, especially if you're the one that broke it", my mom said coming behind me. I wish she wasn't right.
DEBBIE'S POV
"Desiree what are you doing?", I asked calling her as I drive off from Ms. Nathalia's house.
"Nothing I'm just about to get some ice cream. Why, what are you trying to do?"
"Tonight I want to go out and have fun"
"Now what is a pregnant person supposed to do to have fun, I mean having fun is what got you where you are now"
"Desiree drinking, clubbing and having sex is not the only thing that you can do to have fun. Oh you know what, First Bethel Church is having a community picnic how about we go there and they have concerts later on tonight"
"Girl you want to go to church for fun"
"Don't sit there and act like we didn't have fun at church when we were little. Come on girl I wanna go have fun, meet new people and have nothing to worry about"
"Alright fine girl, what time is this supposed to start?"
"3-3:30"
"Girl we gone be late it's almost 2 now"
"That's okay. I'm driving home now so I can get dressed. I'm a get the boys to so they can have fun and meet some kids their age"
"Okay I'll see you at the house then"
"Mkay bye sugar plum"
"Bye girl"
I hung up and I drove to the house. I think I'm a move somewhere closer to everything because this house is soo far it's ridiculous and I'm not supposed to be driving like that anymore especially while I'm getting bigger and bigger.
When I got to the house I took a shower and I put my hair in a ponytail. I just put on lipgloss and mascara with a little blush and I put on some maternity jeans, comfortable tennis shoes and a black and gold shirt with good jewelry. When I finished a sprayed some perfume on me and I packed the boys some play clothes and shoes since we were going to be outside. I made sure I had the car seats in the truck and I drove to 'Xavier's to get them.
I stood outside his place knocking on the door and he opened it up holding Jabari.
"Hey mamas baby", I smiled making him open his arms for me. I took him from 'Xavier and walked inside, he actually cleaned up and Jaidyn had his toys in the living room.
