"Baby I am so glad we were able to take this vacation. Life has been putting a lot on us lately."
I looked up at Kahlia and nodded, "Yeah and what better stress reliever than being in Cabo!"
"Yes! And not only that but a divorce is coming soon. This could be great for a destination wedding!!!"
Shaking my head I pulled away from her, "I don't know about all that."
"Baby she gave you the ring back. We can move on together and be happy. We can have a family."
"She is my family."
"Wait! What! I thought you would let her go by now. Obviously she doesn't want you."
Letting out a deep sigh I leaned on the patio railing, "She doesn't want me because of me. I ruined her and I'm ruining my children all for nothing."
"So I am nothing to you?"
"No offense but you couldn't hold a candle to what me and Valencia had. That girl has held me down for a long time and hopefully I haven't completely lost her."
Kahlia laughed and put on her shades, "I'm going to the spa and do some shopping. Hopefully when I come back you won't still be stuck in ya lil depression."
She left and I sat and thought about life for a while. Valencia had put up with more than a little bit and I don't blame her for leaving. Honestly I don't even know why I am doing what I am doing. It isn't fair to Lia and it damn sure ain't fair to V.
I could have left Kahlia alone plenty of times but I didn't. With Valencia I have to be a husband and a daddy and a friend and a teacher and a therapist. With Kahlia she just need a bit of change and some good dick. Nothing matters to her. I just needed a break from life for a while and that got me here. Alone. By myself.
Picking up the phone I dialed Valencia and she didn't answer the phone.
Wife--"The boys are with your mother. Call her."
I looked at the text and shook my head. She won't even talk to me. I know she doesn't know about this vacation because I didn't tell her. Probably thinks I'm in the city.
The door opened and closed, "So are you done crying?"
Standing I walked over to her, "Let's get a couple of things straight. I have been letting you slide with your smart ass mouth but I'm a powerful man baby don't forget that."
"Yeah okay."
"We can enjoy these next few days but when we get home I want you out of my condo and my life. We are done!"
Quickly she grabbed my arm and dropped down face to face with my manhood, "Baby. Really."
"You can suck my dick all day but I made my decision."
"Fine. I'm not fucking or sucking you O!"
Shrugging I laughed and walked onto the beach, "Cool.
---------
"Ooohhhh fuck baby right there!"
Of course I had this girl bent over in the shower putting in work. She thinks the sex is going to keep me but my mind isn't even in it. I'm clearing my head so when I get home I can think straight.
She nutted and I could hear my phone in the room going crazy. "Your phone has been dinging for 20 minutes. Who is that?"
"I don't know. Go check for me."
She got up and walked out coming back in with the phone, "Its a calendar event."
"For?"
"Disney trip with boys..."
Just that fast my whole world crashed, "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"
"Baby what's wrong!!"
I grabbed my phone and some other shit and headed for the door but she jumped in my way, "Where are you going?"
"Home. I promised my kids a trip and I forgot and missed out!"
"Baby just call Valencia and reschedule."
I punched the wall, "This is bigger than me and her. My sons man. I let them down fucking with you. Yo I'm done. You can stay for the rest of the trip but I gotta go!"
"O'Neil.."
"Bitch get out of my fucking way!!!"
I got on the next flight home which I had had to wait hours for. My jet wasn't scheduled to come back until next Monday and I don't have that kind of time.
I called and called and called and received no answer. I called her mother and sisters and got the same thing. Calling my mom wasn't any help either. Where the fuck is everybody!!
Once I landed I went straight to the house to find it empty. Every photo was gone off the wall. Every toy. Every shoe my wife owned and every piece of makeup. She left. Just like that she was gone and I don't know where she went.
Leaving my house I went straight to her mom's house. No cars were in the driveway and the front gate was locked.
"Fuck!"
Racing to my mom I stormed into the kitchen, "Where is she?"
"Who?"
I looked her dead in the eyes, "Valencia."
She shrugged, "Don't know. She picked up the boys yesterday saying you were coming in the morning."
"Ma don't play with me."
She laughed, "You didn't pick them up did you? Shame."
"Ma! My family has dropped off the radar. I need to find them and you playing mind games with me."
"Boy leave my house. No one is joking. I don't know where the girl is. She hasn't called."
I sighed and put my head down, "Ma please."
"I don't know."
She wasn't helping so I left and called her sisters numerous times and they didn't answer. My heart pounded when I saw and unusual car in my driveway.
Jumping out I pulled a gun on some dude walking out with one of Valencia's bags, "Wrong house to rob lil nigga."
"Woah dude chill."
"Nah. Tonight you gonna meet the maker."
Some footsteps came at full speed pulling him back, "Harrison go ahead."
Dude looked and me and shook his head before walking and getting in the truck.
"Yo what the fuck is this!?"
Valencia looked at me and wiped her tears, "It took for me to go to your office to find out you left the country.."
"Baby.."
She slapped me hard, "They waited for you. My kids waited for you all day. They sat on the stairs with their luggage waiting. Do you know how long they cried because you didn't show up!? How much you hurt them! You picked that bitch over my kids."
"Our kids!"
"No my kids. Those are my kids. I carried each of them alone. I raised them alone. We came second to every bitch you fucked and every album you sold. Well I am done O'Neil!"
I laughed, "So you brought a nigga to clean out my house!"
"No I brought him to help me get my shit. Everything you bought is still there but if I spent my money its coming with me."
She turned to get in the car but I grabbed her waist and pulled her into me, "Valencia think about this!"
"I have. I've been thinking since the first girl years ago. I can't do this anymore." She slid off her second set of rings and placed them in my hand.
"What is this for?"
She wiped her tears, "O'Neil I want a divorce."
The car backed out the driveway and left me standing there speechless. I couldn't speak. I couldn't eat. Getting in the shower I hung my head and cried. To think of my wife laying with a new man and receiving what I should be giving kills me. Thinking of the tears that left my sons eyes kills me.
