Marcus
" Hey can we talk? " Amaria asks me as she walks from the back. I've been staying over here the past few days in Parker's room. Amaria and I have too much shit to deal with before we can get back together. Plus I had something I needed to tell her and I knew she wasn't gonna take that shit well.
"Sure c'mon." I pat the couch and scoot over as she takes a seat. I look at her while she shuffles papers in her hands.
" So since you're alive and obviously want to be in Landons life, I thought we could make that more secure as far as you being on his emergency contact list for daycare, changing his last name to yours. And we could work out some type of agreement for his care instead if doing child support. " Amaria says seriously. Adjusting her glasses and looking at me.
I'm shocked that she is being super mature and calm about all of this. Her doing this reminds me of why I fell in love with her. And right now she looks so sexy with her glasses, no makeup, and hair tied up. I still love her..
".. And if you don't think he's yours we can do a DNA test. " she says snapping me out of my thoughts.
"My bad. Chill. I know he's mine and I got us. I always do right? " I pull her close and kiss her forehead. She lays her head against my chest and sighs.
I feel her tears on my neck but I'm not surprised. I know why she's crying.
" I really missed you Marcus. You broke my heart when you died and a part of me died with you. And you're not dead but I'm not sure if I can get that part of me back. Why did you fake your death? " she looks up, glaring at me.
Fuck I don't wanna talk about this shit but I owe it to her.
" well .. " I sigh and run my hands down my face. " The day I left, we were arguing and I left out pissed at you. I ended up cheating and felt so bad. Ma, I couldn't even face you so I decided to stay away. And then I heard you fucked the homie I was furious even though I cheated on you. I hated you or thought I did. But I don't. And I hope you don't hate me." I tell her.
It would kill me for her to hate me and not allow me to be around my son but I don't think she'd ever do that. She's a sweet person and I know I fucked up but she has a forgiving heart. We both fucked up but life is life.
" Basically what your telling me... is that you couldn't handle the problems we we're having so you went out and cheated on me? Then listened to some dum ass rumor and abandoned me without asking me or trying to work it out? " Amaria asks me calm as hell though I can tell she pissed.
" Yeah. I'm truly sorry." I say. I watch her stand up, walk out, walk back in and sit down. She holds her hands in her lap and closes her eyes. I think she praying to be honest and I'm low key scared asf.
10 minutes in silence passed.
" If you're going to kill me please tell me. " I state seriously. She ignores me and continues to pray so I remain quiet.
" Marcus?"
I wake up to see Parker in my face, concern on hers. I glance around but it's just us in the room. " what happened? " Parker sighs. I shake my head and shrugged.
" I told her the reason why I left and she started praying. I asked her if she was gonna kill me and next thing I know you're waking me up. "
Parker nods her head and gets off the couch. She comes back in and hands me some paper. I look at it confused asf. I can't even think. My head is pounding.
Feel like I got knocked TF out.
" It's a letter from my sister. "
Marcus, I really don't know how to react after speaking to you. I thought about a million ways to kill you but my heart couldn't bear that thought. I love you more than anyone could ever imagine. I love that you gave me a child and our bond is forever. But I need time to work on myself to become a better mother to my child. He's replaced you as the love of my life and I dedicate my all to him. So I'm taking a tip alone where I will be going to counseling and therapy. Six months and I will be back. You can bond with Landon in this time I am gone and we can co parent successfully when I return. I'm not abandoning my child but I'm growing to raise him properly.,
I love him.
My eyes widen in shock as I read the letter again. I instantly get pissed. I know she said she not abandoning Landon but that's what it feels like.
But if she wants to be a better mother to our son then I support her of course.
I blow and stand up. I go into Amaria's room and see literally everything is gone.
Man wtf really going on?
