New Beginning

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

Omniscient

Saturday

Danny dropped off the twins with his sister so he could talk to Amiyah one final time. Of course his sister thought it was a bad decision to end things with Amiyah just so he could continue on with Raya, but there was only so much input she could add. Danny had his mind set this time for good. He wanted his wife back and he wasn't going to stop until he won her heart over again. When he told Raya he ended things with Amiyah for good, that wasn't necessarily completely the truth. In fact, he hadn't told Amiyah a word. Today, he was going to make his wrongs become right.

Amiyah was already out the door when he pulled up. He hadn't spoke to her all week since their little fight so she was elated to see him come by. Little did she know Danny didn't come to bring good news.

"Babbbyy," Amiyah exclaimed excitedly rushing over to him to hug him. She noticed right away how stiff his body felt against hers so she couldn't help the frown that developed on her face. "What's up?"

"We need to talk," was all Danny told her as he made his way in. She followed him into her living room as she took a seat across from him. Her stomach was already turning knots because she knew that something wasn't right.

"Amiyah... there isn't a way to tell you this."

"Well then you might as well just say it," she said. Her tone was cold and Danny knew it as he sighed. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt anyone, but at the same time he warned Amiyah. He also knew he was the real reason she held on so long because he did fall for her. Leaving Raya through it all, was just not an option for him.

"You know I love you Amiyah and in a different world you would've been the one for me, but I love my wife more. I don't want to lose my baby so I have to let you go."

Amiyah's eyes burned with tears as those words slipped from his lips. She honestly couldn't believe this was choice. He told her she was the one for him and that he would leave Raya because what they had was special. Amiyah was no fool she wouldn't have stuck around if she didn't believe it was real. She knew it had to be real rather if Danny wanted to admit to it or not.

"No," she shook her head. "You don't mean that Danny. You and I both know the love we share is something genuine. You can't just throw that all away. I'm sorry, but let's be real what you and Raya have is a dead situation now. Why go back to it? We can finally start fresh like we talked about. Baby you can't do this me. To us!!"

"Amiyah please don't make this harder than it has to be. Just respect my decision and move on. You knew better to fall in love with me!"

"And you knew better than to make me fall in love with you! I told you to leave me alone from day one, but you insisted on forcing your way into my life and now you pull this bullshit?! How could you do this to me? You know I would've did anything for your bitch ass!"

Danny's heart broke as he stared at a now hysterical Amiyah. It made him think about how he saw the same reaction with Raya. He was ashamed of how he treated these women, especially being the fact he had a daughter of his own. If his baby girl came across a man like himself he would be ready to kill. Nothing he could say would make it right. He decided to leave with one last "I'm sorry" before he headed for the door.

"You inconsiderate asshole," Amiyah shouted at him. "You're doing all this for a bitch who's cheating right back on your ass!" When those words flew out of her mouth Danny's neck turned quickly.

"What did you say," he demanded feeling his own heart race now. Amiyah, realized how quickly the tables had turned as she chuckled bitterly. She felt her wet tears on her cheek as they rose from laughter.
