Take 3

Chapter 8

Ayesha

I walked in the house after my date with Quenton. I already know It's going to be an argument when I walk in here. All Quenton and I did was eat, talk, laugh, kiss occasionally but after I drove home and that was it.

I placed my keys on the key rack and took my heels off at the door.

Walking up towards the stairs I was stopped by Derwin stepping in front of me.

"Where you been?" He questioned.

"Out Derwin I'm a grown ass woman I don't need to be checked up on or anything."

"You're a married woman too, we suppose to be a team and you not gone come home and just gone be out all night what the fuck is that about?"

"I wasn't out all night." I semi yelled. At this point I'm just really irritated.

"It's 12 in the morning Ayesha!"

"Calm down ok I'm tired I've had a long day, I just wanna shower and sleep." I said walking by him and going upstairs into our room.

"Nah we need to talk about what's going on with us right now." He argued.

"No I've told you what is wrong. Derwin I'm not happy in this marriage anymore."

"What you sayin'?" I could see the hurt on his face and I just didn't know what he wanted me to say at this point. I don't want a divorce .. or do I? I don't know I just know I'm not happy with where we are. One day I woke up and I was unhappy ever since then. Do I love him? Yes but am I in love with him? Not anymore. I feel like we've been together so long we never had the chance to date other people and find out what we really wanted.

My freshman year of college I went to another school than Derwin because my parents wanted me to be close to them my first year. I did somethings I'll never tell Derwin about because I know it'll hurt him. I felt so bad when I realized I wanted to be with Derwin so I begged my parents to let me move to California to be with him. I vowed I'd never tell him what happened that year when we were away from each other.

"I don't know what I'm saying I just know I need space .. to find myself."

"To find yourself? This whole relationship I've been doing what you wanted. Tryna' be the best husband I know how to be but you not happy?! lets just go to therapy." He begged.

"I'll think about it but can you please leave me alone at least for the night?" I pleaded.

He didn't say anything he just retreated back into the living room leaving me be.

Imani

When I hung up the phone with Derwin I checked Ayesha's location and she was out to dinner so I knew it was with the guy she met earlier. It's none of my business so I stay out of it as much as I can.

I don't pick sides but if I had to ima always pick my girls side no matter what.

I still feel sick to my stomach about what happened freshman year with Derwin and I. I did not know that man had a girl friend and I definitely didn't know who Ayesha was yet. I didn't meet Ayesha til sophomore year of college when she was my roommate and that's when I found out about her and Derwin. He deceived the both of us and til this day Ayesha doesn't know what happened basically all of freshman year with us.

I had my concerns that he may have been up to no good with his phone of course but I never saw any girl coming out his room and I even had some of my stuff at his place so how could he be in a relationship right?

We went on dates, he hung with my friends and I hung with his. We were basically in a relationship without it being officially said. I really liked him at the time but it's no use of crying over spilled milk.
