Lily POV
"YERRRRR!" Dave called out as he walked in quite earlier than expected.
"Wassup mamas, where em chipmunks at?" He asked as he kissed my forehead.
"They're with Chris, Dave we need to talk."
"Bout what?"
"A-about us."
"What about us?" He released me so fast you'd think my skin was on fire.
"Dave I think we need a break."
"Nah, who put that shit in your head?"
"Nobody this is mu decision. I think it's best for us honestly."
"Oh it's your decision, not ours?"
"Whether you agree or not I'm leaving. Dave let's be for real we haven't been much of a priority to you as of lately. Your excuses ain't doing shit to change that fact either so until you get yourself together that's what it is."
"So all this my fault then? You ain't did shit wrong?"
"Of course not I've been home everyday with our kids-
"That makes you a good mom but like you said what about us. You lack trust in me and a relationship gon never work without trust."
"Who tf said I don't trust you David? I know you not out here doing me dirty-
"Trusting me don't just mean that you know I ain't out here doing you dirty. It means you know that I ain't gon ever lie to you or put you in a bad position. You ain't believed me bout Safi which shows me that the trust ain't there. You picked a friend that snakes you out before over your nigga that been down since dayone. How you don't trust the man that fathered your kids ma? The same nigga you share a bed with every night.""You turning this on me for no reason Dave and that isn't fair. I'm sorry that I made you feel that way, that wasn't my intention but it doesn't change the fact and the fact is we haven't been on the same page David. This break isn't a punishment, it's a chance for us to work on ourselves and come back better. The kids will stay with me-
"Hold up fuck is you on now? My kids ain't going nowhere ma."
"Dave it's done and-
"Aaliyah don't piss me off man. You trynna keep my kids away from me-
"What, no Dave it's not like that."
"Then where they at huh? WHERE THEY AT!?" He was scaring the shit outta me now. "You moved my kids out the house before having a conversation with me bout it? What kinda foul time you on?"
"It's not like that. I just didn't want them around incase things went soft. I don't want to argue with you Dave and I'm not trynna keep Reina and Dimitri away from you."
"And I'm just suppose to believe that after you done got them out the crib without me knowing, right? You trynna leave me and take my kids Aaliyah?" He was practically fuming and what concerned me was the fact that I had never seen him like this and I've been with the man for all these years. Am I the one in the wrong here. Maybe I should've kept the kids here until we spoke but then I don't think that would've helped. Maybe we would've ended up fighting over their living situation while we're on a break.
"David let's not fight right now. It hurts me to even have this conversation. I would never keep the kids from you but I just think it's best that they stay with me while we worn things out. If you can barely make time for then now, I can't imagine leaving them solely in your care. Whenever you have time, you let me know and we can work something out. Maybe so you can come see them in weekends or something."
"So your mind really made up on this huh. You just gon up and leave with my kids." He chuckled
"I'll be staying at Chris old crib in Connecticut. Once you've calmed down and ready for a civilized conversation to move forward, you know how to reach me."

"So you're really single?""I'm not sure if to call it single. It makes it sound like I'm available and I'm not."
"But y'all did break up though right?"
"Not exactly, we're on a break but not like totally broken up you know. I really need this time to prioritize myself and my kids to figure out where do we go from here."
