The Revenge of HER

Slow dance

018

Shaquille 'Qu' Ryan's:

Three weeks later...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Honey not like that!" I instructed my cousin , she was messing up the most easiest dances ever and that was pissing me off more than my swollen feet. "Honey i'm not somer gonna show you again its one foot up, the other does a shimmy...ish move, lemme show you."

"Sha you can't moes say i'm not trying."

"Jy naai!" I frustratedly let out a huff, "Qu, sit down." Brandon said moving towards me, he knew how important this dance rehearsal was for me and he reminded me when to take a break or when to calm down.

"Honey the dance is really simple, you know Qu's temper and hormones aren't going to help either, impatience should have been her middle name."

Ha ah, I'm laughing," sarcasm laced in every letter i spewed, i was angry, i was tired and i didn't know what to do.

After Brandon's incident Kaygee has been sending me threat laced messages, questioning if i had it for his brother, Brandon doesn't know of course cause we had to keep him out of stress. Not only was Kaygee on my case, so was his puny girlfriend.

She's been trippy since we left her at the house but it's not like I'm suprised, she's always been bitchy, but this time it's gone off her bitch - o- meter.

"Qu, you listening?" Brandon asked, i looked at him and smiled, was it genuine though?

Actually this whole life I've entered with this guy has been messy, Mandisa being the core problem of all my issues, she's the reason I can't have a blissful pregnancy ugh, nka scream gore! "Qu, I think you need to call it a day, too much stress is not good for you and the baby."

"Yeah as if you care about me." I whispered much to myself than my dear fiancé. But seems his a good listener, "Qu what did you say?"

"Hmph, I said its not like you actually and genuinely care about me, you only care bout the baby,"

"Qu -"

"Nah it's cool, I get it."

"Shaquille stop."

From where he stood he walked flowingly to where I stood without breaking a sweat...how did I ever find myself with this beautiful spirited man. "Shaquille Ryans, talk to me now...whats on your mind?"

"Brandon not now please."

"Shaquille when I dedicated my life to you, didn't we agree not to keep things from each other?"

"How am I sure you're not keeping anything from me at this very moment?"

"Cause I - I'm-"

"Brandon!"

"I'm not!" He yelled back , earning a skrik from me, his never raised his voice at me and neither have I. "Cousin as much as the drama here is juicy , I think its time I bounce, you'll text me the details of our next meeting."

"Goodbye Honey, i'll call to check on you,"

"Awez. Brandon , i'll see you."

"Bye Honey." We stood toe to toe , chest to stomach and eyes to eyes...tension was clearly evident and present between us, we were bonded by our traumatic pasts, tested by our broken trust and son together by the love we had for each other, lies...betrayal what actually led to us being together, were we just the product of a heat in the moment love story or were we actually believing what bonded us was fate.

"Qu, why you doubting me?"

"I didn't say anything to make you believe that I doubted you, but your reaction to my question told me otherwise."

"Stop playing mind games Qu, I asked you first what was bugging you and you switch it on me. Tell me Qu was my allergy trigger really a mistake?"

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean!?"

"Answer the damn question Qu!"

"Shut up! Just shut up! How dare you! How dare you!?"

"I was shamed for being your sidepiece , I was the so called villain! huh , I stood for the insults, the humiliation why would I go through all of that to especially save your bulked muscle ass from a woman that could've ended your life if I hadn't stepped in your life so why would I go through that just to take your life!?"

"Your an ass Brandon! I get fucken stalked...damn even threatened to be killed, to be harmed because Mandisa stans are upset that i'm with you! No its never 'cut Qu some slack' huh! Fuck man!"

"Qu-"

"No shut up you fool! I've been quiet for too damn long! gosh!" I scream frustrated running a hand down my face repeatedly "Brandon!" I screamed with nothing else to say but scream his name over and over and over.

"Qu-"

"Can I talk now?"

"Whatever Brandon," I rolled my eyes, all that screaming made my throat itch , instead of focusing on him I looked around the room just to avoid eye contact with him, I wanted to be out of his reach out of his sight, nothing but anger filled me, the weight of this baby disgusted me, I wanted to just run till my breath ran out, till I dropped to my knees.

"I'm sorry Qu, listen..."

"I did not want to stress you but...ive been under investigation, I was suspended from work cause of that investigation, I know I was being selfish with not checking up on you but Mandisa's death -"

"-wait...suspension!" I begun laughing, a ripple of laughter I didn't expect , I was seriously laughing , but why? "So if this little situation didn't happen, you telling me I wouldn't have known bout your little mishap."

"Probably,"

"Suspension..hmmmm isn't this a turn of events, how am I sure you're not the one to plant those peanuts on yourself?"

"You stupid or something?" He asked looking at me, "One touch on those and you know im goner , why would I end my own life like that...think bout that for me."

"Oh shut up." I excused , taking the focus of me, "How am I sure that's all you've been keeping Brandon?"

"Yes,"

His answer was a little too confident for my liking, was I gullible enough to believe him , I guess I was the biggest fool.

"Qu , now you tell me whats been bothering you now whats this I hear of you been stalked and harassed?"

"Who said that, don't be ridiculous,"

"You said it just now, now talk." his eyes darkening as I stared into them even longer, I was already in too deep with this man and I would stick beside him, his baggage is mine and my baggage is his.
