45. The Finale

Summer

Atlanta, GA

I walked back and forth in the kids room bouncing Dylan as his head rested against my shoulder. I could still hear his sniffles as he calmed down. Today has been hectic for me and the kids and to top it off there's a thunderstorm going on outside making it impossible to put them bed easily.

"It's okay" I said in a low voice while rubbing his back. I looked over at Kayla and seen that she was finally sleep. I said a quick prayer because lord know's she she was fighting her sleep.

My mind wandered at the fact that I would probably have to do this all by myself a few times while in Milan. I made my decision this morning that I would accept the offer and I planned to tell Demetrius today but he's been gone all day long. Making me anxious to form the way I would tell him.

I continued swaying side to side slowly before hearing light snores come from Dylan. I went over to his bed and slowly laid him down before leaving leaving out of the room. Just as I was walking into the living room I could see the front door opening and Meech walking through. I crossed my arms over my chest and tilted my head to the side. Letting him get completely in the house before questioning him. "Where you been at?"

Meech shook his head "Don't start Summer, I told you I was coming back late today"

"No you didn't"

"Yes I did, you was too busy on your phone and shit like you always is" He said while walking past me.

"What is that supposed to mean? You know I work a lot from my phone so what's your point?"

"That's the problem you dont even be working all of the time. You just be on it either posting shit for attention or getting attached to social media too fucking much" He walked into the bedroom and I followed him with my arms still crossed.

"Oh my god Demetrius, Is this still about this picture I posted. I will delete it damn." I took out my phone and opened the Instagram app. I went to my profile and deleted the latest picture I posted which was just me in a thong swimsuit I've always posted myself in swimsuits so Im confused as to why he was acting like this was something new.

"You happy now?" I turned my phone showing him. He moved my phone out of his face.

"It ain't even about you deleting it. You shouldn't have done it in the first place"

I sighed heavily and sat at the edge of our bed rubbing my face while looking down at the floor "This is going to be too much for me while Im away" I mumbled under my breath.

"Away where?" He stood in front of me.

I widened my eyes still looking down, realizing that I had no choice but to now tell him. This wasn't how I imagined telling him. I felt him grab my arm pulling me up so we were now face to face."Away where Summer?" He asked again.

I pulled my arm back from him grip "I got an offer to go to Milan for a year...and I accepted it"

He stepped back some and furrowed his eyebrows "What you mean you took it? You ain't said shit to me about it"

"I know I was just nervous at first but now I feel like, I could really benefit from it. This could continue to take my career to the next level. This is a big deal for me Demetrius"

He still had the same mad facial expression "Fuck you mean a big deal for you. what about us? the kids? the shit you got going on here"

"I don't know I figured I could work out a schedule with he kids and my mom would probably come to help-"
