"Behind the smile I'm dying on the inside "

Paige

•The Next Day•

I couldn't sleep at all last night. The events from yesterday kept playing in my head over and over again.

"Hi mommies baby" I cooed as I picked Nyla up out of her crib

I started patting her back as I walked into the connected bathroom in Nyla's room

After I kicked Cairo out later that night he hasn't came back and honestly I don't care if her does . That man hurt me in the worst way possible .

And what makes it worst is that he stood their in my face all smiles and shit like he just didn't cheat on me .

Part of me wants to know who she is and then the other part of me is like fuck it she can have him .

My heart is so broken right now that it's like I can't even function. Maybe I need to go away for a couples weeks just to regroup myself .

I finished getting Nyla ready and left out the house to go over to my mothers house .

"My baby " I half smiled as I entered the house

"Hey momma" I spoke with a horse voice

"Ooh baby what's wrong" she took Nyla from me .

I followed her into the living room where she took Nyla out of her car seat.

"So are you going you tell me what's going on" she played with Nyla

"Well I found out that Cairo has been cheating on me for the past two months " i sobbed as I told her

She just looked at me as if I did something wrong

"I'll be back " I nodded & wiped my tears

Everything that has happened in the last 24 hours has too my whole life for a spin. I'm so done with him like the only time we speak is if it's about Nyla.

"Baby "my mother grabbed my hand and softly rubbed them

"Yes"i croaked out

"Look" she sighed and furrowed her eyebrows together as if she was in pain

"I know the situation your in " she sighed

I was slightly confused as what she was talking about

"What you mean you had a old boyfriend that's cheated on you or something " I asked trying to understand

"No Paige it was your father that cheated on me " she said I was in total shock because my father . The man that I thought could do no wrong cheated on my mother

"W-when was this " I mumbled and scratch the top of my head

"It was when you was about 6 or 7 and I caught him cheating but he then confessed that he was over the course of almost a year" I was in total shock like a year tho .

"How did you deal with that" I asked

"Shit like any other woman would do go the fuxk off and i was even more hurt because I didn't know that the man that I was madly in  love could betray me in such a way " she said and i could see the tears in her eyes but she wiped them away .

I know every time she talks about it . It pains her because the hurt from that's situation still runs deep.

"But over the years I couldn't go on with this lie that I wasn't still madly in love with  that man and I think that's what gained our relationship back which was love and most of all Trust " she said

"You see I don't think we could ever get back together because I would alway have that constant voice in my head not to trust him " I said honestly

"Well baby thats something you will have to work out in the future but for now just work on you and Nyla " she said and I nodded in agreement

I took was she said into consideration. Maybe she was right , maybe i should  just worry about me and Nyla .

Maybe in the future we could possibly work something out but for now it all about Paige & Nyla.
