"I hate his ass and I feel so stupid for trusting him again. I really thought he had changed you know? He was all romantic and stuff and he made me feel powerful, like a queen, now I know it was a fucking act...
I mean, to think that we've been down this road before, it's so frustrating and I hate it", Angela spoke with so much anger while drowning the fifth shot of tequila.
Renee and I had been trying to get to the bottom of it but she wouldn't let us talk so we settled to listening to her as she poured her heart out.
"What really happened though? With Khaled's obsession with you, he would never go to a club without you", Renee stated, making Angela wipe a tear away.
"Well, we fought. He sorta saw my boss kissing me and when I tried to explain, he hit him and walked away. I didn't kiss him back, I would never do that to him", she said looking at her fingers making a light bulb go off in my head.
"Waoh! Jealousy is real", Renee said sipping her wine. I released a breath then lifted her head so that we could see each other eye to eye.
"Look, I'm not saying what he did was ok but I need to know, do you love him?", "I do, I really do and that's the problem", she said with a tired voice as if giving up.
"How so?", Renee asked sitting properly making me smile. She was a sucker for gossip.
"Well I feel like my love for him blinds me when it comes to making aggressive decisions you know?", she said taking another shot of tequila which I thought was messing with her hormones at this point.
There was no way we were going to reach a proper conclusion this way.
"Look, come with me to my home and sleep it out. In the morning, I'll make us a chocolate cake with some coffee and then we'll make a decision. Fare?", I proposed because I knew she was addicted to chocolate cake.
"I'm so in, even though it's not my offer, besides we can make it a sleepover and we all sleep in one bed", Renee said while gathering her stuff. I watched Angela as she nod in agreement.
"This car is so smooth. Abdul did good", Renee said relaxing on the passenger seat, I looked in the middle sight mirror only to see Angela passed out on the back seat snoring like no one's business.
"Yeah, he did good", "Any plans to add another little one? I mean the twins are almost six now and Natalia is so ready to be a sister", she pleaded.
"Did he put you up to this?", I asked with a smile. They're close, I had to make sure. "Oh no honey, the thought just crossed my mind and I couldn't resist throwing it out there, I swear!", she said with a laugh making me laugh too.
"What? I waited this whole time for you. What do you mean you're having a sleepover?", Abdul asked pouting his sexy lips, making me pull him in for a kiss.
"Baby you asked for my help and this is me helping", I said reminding him that it was his idea in the first place. "I didn't mean to sacrifice my peaceful sleep and sex in the process", he whined.
"Abdul, I'm sure you can survive without sex for eight hours or so", Renee said emerging from our closet where she was changing into a pair of pajamas I gave her. Abdul rolled his eyes pulling me to his chest.
"Stop being a baby, we have someone who actually needs our attention. Call the boys or something", Renee said pulling me away. I felt like a sack of potatoes being pulled left and right for no reason.
"You guys know I'm human right? Like I can feel the pain of being pulled like a doll right?", I asked playfully making Abdul release my hand. "Fine", he said dropping himself on the bed with a huff.
We went to the guest room where we found a drooling Angela sound asleep. "Yes Greyson, I'm with the girls... Nikki, say hi to my jealous husband who thinks I'm cheating", she said making me turn to see it was a video call.
"Hi Greyson", "Hi beautiful, show me Angela. There is someone who would love to see her", he said as Renee moved to Angela's side. I saw Khaled looking at her sleeping form with guilt.
He looked hurt and I really wished I had something nice to say to him but I didn't. He had to stop allowing his anger to get the best of him.
"Ok, goodnight my love", she did a blow kiss then hung up. "Greyson did good", I mimicked her words making her blush.
💕Abdul: I don't like this 😒
Me: Oh come on... it's late you need to sleep.
💕Abdul: What if I don't want to 😛
Me: Stop bothering me 😂😂
💕Abdul: Noup! Daddy wants some 🍑
Me: 🤦🏾♀️ ur unbelievable.
💕Abdul: 😂😂
💕Abdul: Thank you for this babe. I mean it 😘
Me: It's ok. She was my friend first😏
💕Abdul: Yeah, and she is lucky to have you. I mean literally because I really miss my pillow.
💕Abdul: By pillow I mean you 😉
Me: I know... You're so lame 🙄
💕Abdul: You love me🤣🤣... Goodnight wifey 🥰
Me: Goodnight baby.
I placed my phone on the nightstand and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
This man always made me smile. I thought of how surprised Renee and I were when we found him waiting on the sofa.
She thought it was a romantic gesture which made me smile. There is nothing I wouldn't do for him.
I woke up at 7 am found Claire and the twins getting ready because Zahra was coming to pick them up.
"Good morning Nikki, why were you guys sleeping like lasagna in the guest room?", Claire asked making me shake my head. "Boy problem. That was us offering moral support", I explained and she nod in understanding just in time for Zahra to enter the kitchen with a happy Abni in her arms.
I took him and kissed his chubby cheeks making him giggle. "Hey, you... looking sexy this morning", I complimented Zahra who was having lipstick and tight shorts just looking amazing.
"Well I might have had a private moment with Aziz in the bathroom that was very energetic", she finished with a wink making me gasp. "Good for you hun. You should do that more often, it's healthy", I commented making her smack my shoulder playfully as I handed Abni back to her.
They left right after.
I started making the cake batter ready to bake a cake that was delicious enough to mend a broken heart.
