"Oh my baby, daddy missed you so much." I was so happy to see my daughter after that long week. She held around my neck and rested her head on my shoulder and toyed with my chains.
"You missed daddy? Huh?"
"How was she Miss Diane?" De'arra asked.
"Oh she was good. Cried a little when it was time for bed but other than that, she was well behaved." She said with a smile.
"Diar, I missed you baby." De'arra held out her arms but Diar didn't budge.
"Come on, give mommy a hug." De'arra tried taking her but she stiffened her arm and turned the other way so she won't look at her.
"DeMar why won't she let me hold her?" Her face was sad and I felt bad.
"I don't know. She'll come around." I dug in my pocket and showed her the sweets I brought back and her eyes lit up. She looked at me and smiled as I opened the orange wrapper and gave her one to try.
"You like it?" I asked. I sat down on the sofa opened another flavor to taste one myself. She sat next to me and held onto another in her hand. De'arra came and sat next to her and tried to get her attention but she was too focused on the candy.
"So how was your trip?" My mom asked.
"It was great." I answered.
"It was amazing. I definitely needed that vacation." De'arra added.
"Well I'm glad you had a good time. Now, I need a vacation from her." She laughed as she nodded to Diar.
"Well, thanks for watching her for us."
"Oh, it's nothing. That's my grandbaby." She smiled.
We took Diar back home and went to our backyard to hang out. She sat in between her mother and I and played with her doll while her mother and I spoke.
"So when do you want to get remarried?" I asked.
"This week. Nothing fancy. Just you and I." She shrugged.
"Ok, I'll make that happen."
"Good."
"I'm so sorry for doing that."
"Yeah, I really don't want to talk about that DeMar. I just want to get re - married so all that's dead."
I knew she was trying to seem nonchalant about it but I know its bothering her. I really fucked up but I was going to show her that I will be faithful to her and to our family once again.
A Few Hours Later
De'arra Pov
I was driving through Downtown L.A. with my speakers blaring and my mind all over the place. I told DeMar I was going to a meeting then the mall but I was on another mission. Ever since I found out about his one time with Ashanti I've been going crazy. Yes I forgave him and that money was more than enough to ease my troubles but I just felt like he should've never done it in the first place. I know he loves me but there's just something more to it. I hopped out and went to this restaurant and sat by the person I was meeting.
"Hi."
"Ashanti." I nodded as I sat down.
"Well, I'm here, what did you want to ask me about?"
"I know you and my husband had sex."
Her face fell flat.
"He told me everything. Now I didn't come here to argue and go back and forth because I don't have time for that, what I want to know is how and why did it happen." I took a sip of my wine and waited for her to begin speaking.
