An unexpected Surprise

Chapter 9

Kadeem's POV 

Two years ago

"I swear I can change" Mya said as she held onto my jacket. I shrugged her off before grabbing her bags. "Kadeem!"

"Mya, I don't love you! Never have never will!" She took a step back before she ran upstairs. I heard glass breaking and I sighed before bringing her bags to the car. I re-entered the house and headed upstairs where Mya was ripping through the clothes in my closet. I hope she wouldn't find. She pulled out the box that I had kept with all my secrets and opened it. If she wasn't crying before she was crying now. 

"This Kadeem! Are you fucking serious!" She turned over the photo that held one of my biggest secrets and starring back at me was an ultrasound.

"Look Mya i'm sorry"

"Your sorry! Your sorry! You got another woman pregnant!"

Back to Present 

"You look incredible" I told her honestly and she nodded not even giving me a second glance. "How have you been?"

"Perfect. Especially after you left"

"Mya I made a mistake, and I was hoping that we might be able to reconnect" 

"How's your kid?"

"The kid wasn't mine" I admitted and she had a smirk fall onto her face. This wasn't the same woman I remember. 

"Serves your cheating ass right"

"Look Mya lets forget the past and let me take you out" I offered and she chuckled darkly 

"No"

"Mya"

"No"

"Oh come on Mya, just one din---"

"Hey Mya i'm ba-- who's this?" I looked up and noticed a light skin dude staring down at Mya. Who was this clown and why was he with my woman? A smile fell on her face when she noticed what was in his hands. There was a pretty big stuffed Zebra and she squealed before placing a kiss on his cheek and grabbing the zebra out of his hand. 

"Desmond can we go home now?" She asked and a bunch of different questions ran through my mind. They lived together? Were they dating? Is that Mya's baby? The answers I came up with only made me angrier and that's when I knew what I had to do. I had to get Mya back by any means necessary .

Mya's POV 

We walked away for Kadeem and although I had one the battle I knew it was far from over. He had some nerve after what he said and did to me. I strapped Jazmine in before sliding into my spot and placing my head on the window. Memories of our relationship flew through my mind and the only thing I wanted to do now was forget Kadeem Wellington ever existed but unfortunately he had decided to pop back up. 

"You okay?"

"Yup"

"Who was that guy?"

"Don't worry about it"

"Bu-"

"Don't worry about it Desmond" I repeated 

"Mya your obviously upset and I just want to he--"

"Leave me the fuck alone Desmond!" I yelled before putting in my earphones and tuning everything out. Throughout the ride, J Cole sung about wanting to 'Work Out', Justin Bieber was 'Sorry' and Trey Songz was making 'Love Faces'. As my song was transitioning to the next one I heard the ignition shut off so I got out and headed to the door. After taking a sleeping Jazmine out of her car seat he opened the door and I followed him in silently. I took a seat on his couch and he went to put Jazmine to sleep before coming back.

"Mya i'm only going to ask you one more time. Who was he?"

"An ex" I mumbled loud enough for him to hear. 

"So do you want to explain to me what's up with your attitude cause i'm sure as hell not feeling it?"

"Kadeem, my ex, he was my first love. He had me wrapped around his finger. Anything he asked I would do it and only get insults in return. So one night he kicked me out saying I wasn't the woman he fell in love with and that I had gained too much weight for him. I was devastated. Not only had he broken my heart, he cheated on me  and got another woman pregnant" I chuckled hoping to make me feel better "Turns out the baby wasn't even his. But after he kicked me out and broke my heart I got myself a gym membership and worked my ass off, although I never needed to. I was thick before now i'm just healthy and thick"

"So why was he talking to you?" He mumbled through gritted teeth

"He wanted us to get back together, start over" his fist slammed against the table before he stood up and started pacing. "Desmond sit down"

"Nah Mya that's some bullshit! He doesn't get a pass for talking to you like that. Man if I just knew that before I would've fucked that nigga up!" He yelled and I took my hand in his before pulling him so he would sit. 

"Thank you"

"No problem Care bear" For that one time and that one time only, him calling me Care bear was prrobably one of the best things I had ever heard.

"Hey Care bear"

"Yeah" he went silent for a bit as if he was trying to figure out whether or not he wanted to say it

"You wanna watch Netflix?"

"Sure" he picked up his remote and flipped the TV to netflix before clicking his account.

"What Movie?"

"I don't know, you pick one" I told him while grabbing a blanket

"How about White Chicks?"

"Nah I've watched that too many times" he nodded and continued scrolling through.

"Mean girls?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he put his hands up in defense. "Not my fault. Aren't all girls supposed to love the movie" I shook my head no and he mumbled 'Thank god' before continuing to look.

"Wait wait wait go back" he scrolled back and I yelled stop.

"White house down? I've watched it, it's funny" he clicked on the movie before turning off the lights and letting my lay my head on his lap. Halfway through the movie my eyes were getting heavy and it was getting harder and harder to stay awake.

"Night care bear"

"Night Desmond"
