"Whew. I got this. I can do this." I said taking a deep breath as I pushed a sleeping Malaïka's stroller into the Olive Garden Building.

"Welcome to Olive Garden. How many?" The hostess asked me.

"I think the person I'm here for sat down already but if not then I'll be back to get a table." I told her & walked into the back of the restaurant. And there I saw him.

He was wearing all black as usual. And looking me directly in my eyes. I took off the baby bag sliding it into my side of the booth & began to detach Malaïka's car seat from the easy stroller sitting her on the inside of the booth as well.

"Hi, my name is Justyn and I'll be your waitress today. Can I start you off with some water?" A young girl came over and asked us.

"Yes. And can I get a half & half lemonade ice tea as well please?"

"Yes ma'am and for you sir?" She asked Roddy

"I'll get the same thing as her."

"Ok, coming right up. I'll be back shortly to take your orders." She said & we nodded as she walked off.

"So." I started the conversation. "Where do we even start?" I asked him.

"We never really got to speak about what happened before. You shut me out, yelled at me & didn't even allow me to explain."

"Cause I don't know what about cheating there is to explain but, I'm not here to argue with you so go ahead & explain." I sighed sitting back in my seat.

"The night that everything happened, I never did any of it on purpose. One of the strippers drugged me & took advantage of me. I don't know what she gave me but I couldn't feel my body, talk or move. I could hardly fucking see. So I just had to sit there & let it happen. I loved you Kianna. And I still do. You made me the happiest I had been in a long time. When I got rich, I was happy but I felt like something was missing & I came to realize that that thing was you. You completed my dream or how I wanted my life to be, and I would never do anything to fuck that up intentionally."

I just sat there at a loss for words. "Roddy I am so sorry. I didn't know. I was just so embarrassed because it was so public & everybody was tagging me & I spoke so highly of you to EVERYBODY so I was hurt."

"How could you have known? I was hurt too but, don't apologize things happen." He said & we just sat there in silence until the waitress came back.
