The middle.

One hour before
I paced back and forth as Ashae' explained everything to me over the phone. This wasn't the welcome back home gift I was expecting but oh well. I didn't necessarily like the bitch but I did feel some sympathy for her. She honestly thought her and Justin would have something. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Sweetheart, let me explain some shit to you and please for the love of God hear me out loud and clear." I cleared my throat and continued. "Justin does not want you. I'm sorry you had to find this out from me, his wife, but he doesn't want anything to do with you." I clenched the phone in my hand to keep from throwing it clean across the floor.

"I just wanted to let you know where your husband has been every night."

That did it for me. "Listen here, bum ass hoe. You're nothing but a damn side hoe...pause, not even that since y'all ain't do nothing. Please don't make me tell you about yourself because I will be more than happy to do so. So you snitching or whatever you want to call it on Justin changes absolutely nothing. He gave you a place to stay? Cool. He gave you a couple thousand? Even better. Honey, you got 4,000 dollars. I get that and then some by my damn self."

There was silence and then she started laughing uncontrollably. Was this hoe crazy?

"That's not all he gave me, Meghan. He's in the bathroom right now. Wanna speak to him when he comes out? We want to be together. Why can't you see that?"

I sucked my teeth. A part of me wanted to believe her but the other part was telling me to trust my husband.

"You got me all the way fucked up if you think I'll believe a two dollar hoe over my own husband. Try again, baby girl." With that I hung up the phone and stormed back into the living room with Alfredo, who was playing with the twins.

He gave me an odd look and mouthed 'what's wrong?' I smirked. "Oh I don't think you're ready for this one. Where's Za at? Call him. We gone catch Justin's ass red handed."

"Justin, we need to talk." Ashae' mumbled under her breath and turned over to face me in bed. "Like have a serious talk. What are we doing?"

I was confused. "What do you mean what are we doing? We're chillin'." She huffed and turned over in the bed. "Whatever, Justin. You know what the fuck I meant. Why can't we do more?"

The hell? "What do you mean? I'm honestly so confused right now. You knew from the start that I was married so I don't know why you're trying to do more with me knowing I have a wife and kids at home. It's just not possible for us to be more than friends."

"Yes it is." She turned back over to face me. I sat up and shook my head. "You're not about to get me caught up in some bullshit with Meghan, again. Shae' you're cool but we can't be more than this."

She sighed and grabbed my arm when I tried to get up. "Justin, wait...at least finish watching the movie with me?" I rolled my eyes and snatched my arm back.

"Nah, shawty. That's not a good idea anymore. Besides, it's already almost past midnight. I'll see you at the dance studio."
She shook her head no and grabbed on to my waist this time. She held on tightly and buried her face into my back.

"Please don't go...just stay, ok? I won't try anything. Can you please just stay with me? I need you, Justin."

I chuckled a bit and grabbed both of her arms to get them from around me. "What you need to do is let me go home to my wife, ma." The hell she thought this was?

"You can't just play with people's feelings, Justin! You can't do that!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs and stood up in front of me. "What did you expect me to think when you allowed me to stay with you? In one of your houses?"

I turned around. She was not about to put all of this on me. "I'm sorry but were you not the one giving me the guilt trip in my car when I picked you up? Talking bout I should've been there to save you and shit when I didn't even know you. I let you move in because I felt bad for you. End of story. I never wanted to be with you. Don't get me wrong, you're sexy and all but I don't want you."

Ashae' raised her hand to slap me but I caught it mid-swing. "Thanks but no thanks. I'll let myself out." She stood there shocked and watched me as I left.

"You're going to regret this, doofus!"

"Welcome back, asshole." I spat back and slammed the bedroom door shut on my way out.
