To Betray Me

O'Neil

"Babe! That bitch... Your bitch of a wife burned my shit! All my work!"

Kahlia has been nagging since the other day. I couldn't believe Valencia beefed up and acted like that. Surprised the hell out of me.

"I know! I was there too."

"O'Neil. O'Neil come out here." My moms voice came into the room.

I had a separate apartment from the house. Kahlia has been staying there with me since the day I slid into her.

Kahlia instantly got excited because she has been wanting to meet my mom. If I know Darla Fox, I know she is going to eat this girl alive. If you know Jennifer Lewis then you know my mama.

"Hey ma!"

She rolled her eyes at me, "Mhmm is she here?"

"Who?"

"The girl that got you betraying your wife."

I sighed, "Ma please..."

"It is so nice to meet you Miss Darla. I'm Kahlia."

"You're a useless hoe. That sounds better than Kaylin or whoever you are."

Kahlia leaned back, "With all do respect ma'am, you don't know me. You could at least take the time out to meet me."

"You're messing with a married man. Married with children at that. I know enough."

Getting between I bumped my mother toward the living room, "Ma she ruined my work."

My mom punched me twice in the chest and slapped my face, "If I ever in life hear that you pulled a gun on that woman again motherfucker I will kill you! Do you understand me!"

"Ma!"

"Do you understand?"

Kahlia handed me an ice pack but my mom smacked it down, "He needs that."

"Baby he is from the streets. Take that ass whipping and keep moving."

I stood and puffed my chest, "Ma go! You can't disrespect my woman in my house."

She leaned back and nodded, "I hope she take all this shit from you and that trifling hoe. Loyalty is everything."

"And disloyalty will get you killed."

She smiled, "Valencia gonna bury ya ass!"

"You supposed to be my mama though. Why you defending her? Maybe I'm not happy anymore."

"What reason do you have to be unhappy?"

Shrugging I sat down on the couch. She was right. My marriage wasn't perfect but I had no real reason to be doing this. But I'm too far in now. My feelings got involved with Kahlia. She's young and fine and just fresh air. I've been with Valencia for 11 years and married for 5 of those. We both need a break.

After my mother left I just sat there and thought. My mind was racing. I needed to work. I gotta work.

"Babe let's go to the office and see if they files got backed up on a hard drive."

Smiling I kissed her quickly before heading out. My biggest event of the year Hip Hop in the Park is coming and I don't have time to sit and cry over my wife.

We got there and walked right into the office with Yani behind.

"Yani get me the guys from tech support."

She looked at her tablet, "You gave them the day off sir."

Kahlia groaned, "Bitch do you do anything right!"
