Maria's P.O.V

*4 months after the incident with Rico*

Saturday 14th Feb

"Ms J I think you should go honestly" said Kayla and Jasmine in unison.

They are here because I did there hair and makeup because the twins are taking them out in a few. They've been wanting me to go the the Valentine's Day party that the top modelling agency has invited me to. I'm thinking of going I don't know yet though.

"Girls I'll think about it"
The doorbell rang and they looked nervous

"Y'all don't make me a grandmama anytime soon I'm too young and beautiful for that" they chuckled and hugged me and left.

"Caleb?"
"Yeah mom"
"What you doing today baby"
"Lola's parents are here to get me we are going to the carnival remember" he said looking confused
"Yeah yeah I remember be careful"
"Always mama" he kissed my cheek and headed out.

And then there was one.

My phone started ringing an I looked at the caller id to see Samira's name flash across the screen. I rolled my eyes and got prepared to hear her bullshit about Rico😒😒

RING RING RING RING

"So, are you still ignoring him then?" She said
"Don't start that shit with me Mira he's in the wrong I shouldn't be speaking to him"
"But-"
"No but! If reiss did this to you you'd be doing the same shit as me. Ugh, he's got you wrapped around his little finger"
"Reiss would never-"
"Why do you think your relationship is so perfect. Don't fucking stand there and act like Reiss is a saint we all know he isn't. But if he stepped out on you and got another broad pregnant you would be doing the same damn thing as me. Don't fucking act like you're Mother fucking Theresa Samira because you aren't. You are far from it. Ion want you calling me about Rico again it's none of your fucking business so mind your own damn"

I ended the call and resumed walking to my room to look for a dress to wear for this Valentine's Day party.

DING DONG DING DONG

Ugh who the fuck is this man!?😔😪

I walked downstairs and dragged the door open and saw tonnes of burgundy gift bags, red roses and a big teddy bear.

"What the fuck?" I mumbled
I brought all the bags into the house and closed the door.

DING DONG DING DONG

What the hell?

I went to the door and saw Rico standing there with a sad look on his face.

"Why are you here Rico?"
"I want to fully explain"
"Ion wanna hear it so bye"

I attempted to close the door and he put his foot there😒😒

"Give me a chance Rendiz please"
"Why should I give you a chance? Why? You gave up on me so easily why the fuck should I listen to the bullshit that you wanna manipulate into my mind!"

"Maria, this was a mistake I didn't mean to have sex with Jasl-"

"Wait hold up. Yo baby's mother is Jaslene. Didn't I tell you to leave the woman alone?!" Anger filled my body and I slapped his face hard. He spat out blood and looked at me with glossy eyes.

"I deserved that, I did leave her alone. But then I started speaking to her again. I know I fucked up and broke your heart as well as your trust and belief in me and our relationship. But I am really sorry about cheating on you. I ain't gonna apologise about my kids because they are a bl-"

"I don't want to hear anything about those babies. I haven't got a problem with them at all. They did nothing wrong. You and that woman sneaked around and fucked. Then created them in the middle of all of that. Ion wanna have this conversation anymore. So if that's all can you move your feet so I can get ready?"

"That's not all I have to say"

"Then what do you-"

He grabbed my face and kissed me so passionately I felt butterflies in my stomach like I used to. I felt so much love and affection in this kiss. But the pictures of him and Jaslene invaded my mind. I pulled back and caught my breath

"I love you Maria" he kissed my forehead and left to get into his Audi.

Man I'm really confused now💔😔 I know I miss Rico and I know he fucked up real bad. But we have a family, he's my husband and the father of my children. I don't know if I should forgive him and try and move on, or just leave him and get a legal separation.

I'm at the crossroads right now😪😪
