Til The Sun Comes UP

Chapter 41~ Time to Face the Music

Loves' POV

I am sitting outside by the pool, and I hear someone pull into our driveway. I figured it might be the Twins or my godparents, so I didn't move. I have been home now for about a week and a half. I haven't been to work in two weeks. I called my manager and told her I needed to take an emergency family leave. I will be out for a month. After what happened the night I saw Temor, I shut down.

My parents asked me what happened, and I just said, "I blacked out." They didn't ask any questions other than if I was going to need a lawyer. They've been through this with me before. I shrugged my shoulders because I don't know what happened to the girl.

I am so disappointed in myself. I mean, like fuck I thought I was past all that rah-rah shit. At almost 22, I should not be out in public fighting. But I did, and I feel like all the work I have done to better myself just went down the drain.

Plus, Temor saw the side of me. I never wanted him to know. He will probably never look at me the same. I know it. That girl he saw that night ain't the marrying type. I really just don't know what to do. I mean, I actually put my hands on the one person that I love the most.

Mila and the Twins surprised me and flew in to hang out for the weekend. Temor hadn't gotten home yet, so I left him a note under the Ice bucket where I had our Moet chilling and a bag that had a lace thong and handcuffs. I wanted him to know I was ready for him in more ways than one to come home. But I never made it back home.

That night I left the twins and Mila in the parking lot and told them I was going home. I knew I had a gym bag with clothes and toiletries in the trunk, I thought about going to the beach. But shit, it was almost 4 am, and I was too tired to drive, so I checked into the closest hotel, which just happened to be the Lux.

I didn't tell anyone where I was. I watched TV, ordered room service, and slept. I didn't cry, not even one tear. I felt numb. I started planning my next move. I kept waiting for the tears, but they never came, so I was okay. I thought I had my feelings and emotions in check until today.

While I mind my own business, at my own house, sitting by my pool, I hear my Dad say

" Minah, you got company" I didn't move cause I haven't talked to anybody. Nobody should know I am here. Then my Dad walks over to the pool, and he is holding Tyler. When Tyler saw me, he started gigging and reaching for me. I just let out a big breath cause this isn't fair.

I reach out to take Tyler, and I hold him and squeeze him. He smells so good. His little chubby hands feel good on my face. I looked at him and said

" Hey, Lovey's baby, I missed you." For some reason, that is when tears fell, and my cute little baby was trying to pick them off my face, which made me smile. My Dad sat on the chair beside me and said

" Minah, you are going to have to address this like an adult. You owe that man who you agreed to marry a conversation and an  opportunity to hear him out. He has already told me what happened. I believe what he is saying. You know your Dad doesn't fall for no bullshit, where you think you get that temper and ability to detect bullshit from...ME. So get your shit together and go talk to your Fiancé."

"I know my Dad is right, but I still had to be a smart ass, so I said," I don't see no ring on my finger, who got a Fiancé?" to which he replied with a smirk.." It would still be on your hand if you weren't so quick to shove it down somebody's throat." My mouth drops, and I am mad embarrassed because that means he knows how I was out in the streets acting crazy.

"Touché Father, well played" I say as I get up to face the music of my blackout...
