I sat on my bed and hesitated if I should text him back. I called him and thank God he didn't answer. I flopped down on my bed and screamed in my pillow. I still love him and I'm still in love with him but I don't know if I can forgive him. Kay walked and sat on my bed.
Kay/Don't stress yourself out Lani
Me/I'm trying not too but who knows
Kay/God knows if he want y'all together just give it time
Me/I know but its stressful
Kay/Come on u have to go to work today
Me/I know
Kay/Call me when u get off
I changed my clothes to the outfit in mm with the hoodie. I pulled my hair into a loose ponytail. I put on lip gloss and filled my purse up with my useful items. I grabbed my keys and unlocked my car as I walked outside. I drove to the salon only to see Manchelle in my customer line. I put my phone on the flat iron rack and took off my purse. I started on my usual customer named Parish. I walked her to the shampoo station and then blew dry her hair. I gave her some bouncy curls. Now it was Manchelle turn and the devil walked in right after her. She sat in my chair and all I smelled was fish. I tried to trade with Mikkel but she said no. I put on some gloves and shampooed and conditioned her hair. I gave her an under braid with curls on one side.
August/Hey Babymomma
I looked around to see who he was talkin to
August/I'm talkin to u Kehlani Mariah Amir Lawrence
Me/Did u have to say my government
August/Why u ain't call me
Me/I did u sent me to voicemail and I see u still sleeping with Men
August/I ain't never sleep with no man ma stop playin games
Me/Um I couldn't tell
August/Call me later I want to do lunch
Me/Maybe or Maybe not
August/I will be waiting
Me/Stop being corny can I just think about it
August/Tell that baby in yo stomach that
Me/I don't don't got nothin in my stomach but my intestines and food not no baby
As much as I want to stop talkin to him we still have that bond where he know my feelings. I finished my last customer and cleaned up my section. I walked out the shop to my car. I sat in my car and waited on the Trainee she is a lonely teen so she works with me as my secretary. She walked out and got in my car. I drove to my house and drove in the driveway. I got off early today at like 2:30 and I am really thinkin bout goin to that lunch. I parked in the driveway and we got out. We close the door and I locked it. I unlocked the door and we walked in. She walked to her room and I sat on the couch. Aurie walked in and so did Chris.
Me/Hey Ari
Ari/Hey bae
Chris/Wussup sis
Me/How was yo day
Ari/Good but the morning sickness is irritating how was yo day
Me/Good I had to do Manchelle hair and yo brotha was there
Ari/Why u had to do her hair
Me/Cause Mikkel didn't want to trade customers and she barely had money
Ari/When are y'all goin to get back together cause I want some nieces and nephews that look like my best friend and my brotha
Me/We suppose to be goin to lunch today but I don't know if I should go
Ari/Go please and will it make it any better if we do a double date
Me/Its not a date its lunch to talk out our relationship and plus I don't have anything to wear
Ari/Let's go check this closet
We walked in my bedroom and walked in my closet. I had all my clothes hung up and Chris always had somethin to say.
Chris/How u ain't got no clothes u got the whole mall in yo closet. He said moving clothes around
Me/I don't wat am I suppose to wear to a lunch wit a cheating ex. I said lookin around
Ari/I found a cute heart lock shirt wit some shorts and wear yo Jordan's in the shoe closet that pink and white
Me/That will be cute thanks I'm goin to get in the shower.

Aug
So I know y'all probably hate me right now but I messed up. I had to do somethin to make sure she is my One and Only. I didn't take Michelle to the salon I went and seen Lani at the salon and Michelle was there. I love Lani with all my heart I want her to have my kids but a relationship is not a relationship without mistakes. I drove home and took a shower. I put on somethin real quick and drove to Applebee's. I texted Lani and her name in my phone is One and Only . I seen her pull up with Chris and Aurie. She walked and the waitress escorted them to my table.

Lani
So I took a shower and put on the outfit Ari picked out and sprayed perfume. I put my into half up half down. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. We drove to Applebee's and I seen him in there. We walked in and the waitress escorted us to his table. He hugged Ari and Chris then hugged me. He smelled so good but I wasn't trying to ruin this lunch wit these feelings. The waitress came back and asked for our beverage orders.
Hi welcome to Applebee's wat would u like to drink so far. She asked nicely
Hi can I have a mixture of Sprite and Raspberry Lemonade. I asked nicely
I want a Sprite and a beer. Aug said lookin at the menu
Hi can I have the same as her Sprite and Raspberry Lemonade mixture. Ari said organizing the table
Wussup can I have a Root beer. Chris said while Ari punched his arm
Sure they should be out any minute. She said as she walked away
So wussup Lani u look Fine today. Aug said as he licked his lips
Thank u I try. I said as conceited as possible
So about us where we at in our relationship. He said seriously
In our relationship we are trying to figure out wat we need each other for. I said as the waitress came back
So is a possibility that we can be August and Kehlani again when we were happy together. He said referring to before the incident
Its 65% chance of us gettin back together I'm not mad that u cheated anymore but I was mad how u did it wit a man. I said thinkin about that day
So can we change that 65% into a 99.9%. He said chuckling
Maybe or Maybe not but to be honest I miss our happy times together when I smiled cause he corny. I missed the way he made fun of me cause I messed wit him all day. Maybe in the Future right.
=======
So we pulled up to our house and I got out my car and unlocked the door and Kehlon was sittin on my couch.
Hey Lani u are finally at home. He said gettin up to hug me
Hey wat are u doin here. I said hugging him
I came to see y'all and tell y'all some news. He said makin me more anxious
So where Kay and Camryn and Hailey? I asked knowing they weren't here
Went to get Ice Cream for all of us I knew u were goin to come home after they left. He said as he called someone
I walked to my room and looked in the mirror thinkin Should I be wit him again everyone make mistakes or I shouldn't be the woman to continue to forgive their significant other after everything they do. I took my shoes off and looked through my purse for my phone. I finally found it and I had 13 instagram notifications,3 text messages,2 missed calls,and 4 snap chats. I read my messages first. It was from Aug,Ari,and Kay.
Aug- Be safe baby girl
Ari- I'm goin to Chris house for a couple hours
Kay-Wat kind of Ice cream u want big head

Me-Aug-U too don't do nothin stupid
Me-Ari-K call me when u on yo way
Me-Kay-Cookies and Cream big head

I wasn't goin anywhere for the rest of the day so I stripped down and put on my PJs. I put on my hello kitty house shoe boots. I walked downstairs and Kay and them walked in and so did some other kids. I walked to the door confused and so did my dad but he was smiling.
Everyone meet Mariah, Ty,and Bridget. Kehlon said
I looked at them up and down then at my dad. I sat on the couch cause he got a lot of explaining to do.
Daddy who those people. Camryn said licking her ice cream
Those people are your sisters and brother. He said I looked at him with a death glare
Wat chu mean sisters and brother. I said wanting to pop off
Those are my kids from Toledo I found out about them a year ago I was waiting for the right time. He said trying to get sympathy
Get Out I don't care anymore u will tell me when I'm trying to get my life back together. I yelled and snapped
Kehlani Mariah Amir Lawrence I am yo father yell at me again it was a mistake. He snapped back
Kehlon Antwan Lawrence can u start acting like a father I already know u love Kaylani and Camryn more than me just get out and leave me like when I was little leave me to die again. I said crying my eyes out
I went to my room and slammed the door. I laid in my bed and cried remembering his my mom left me and how my "father"is a liar.
=======
I guess I cried myself to sleep. I walked to my mirror and my eyes was blood shot red and hair is everywhere. I walked to my bathroom and took a long needed shower. I put on my white spaghetti strapped shirt with my black Levis and my red and black Jordan's with my red and white varsity jacket. I washed my hair and blew dry it. I put it in a ponytail. I put on deodorant and lotion. I sprayed perfume and put on lip gloss. I unlocked my door and walked in Camryn room. She was still asleep. It was my turn to take her to Preschool. I shook her lightly and we opened her eyes. I walked to her closet. I picked out her school uniform wit her pink and black Jordan's. I gave her a bath and washed her hair. I got her dressed and put her long brown hair into bun. I walked her downstairs after I washed her face and brushed her teeth. We walked downstairs and Kehlon was sittin on my couch. I ignored his mumbled comments and made me and her some breakfast. It was 8:30 and it started at 9. I dropped her off and headed to work. I pulled up to the mall. I walked in and went to footlocker. I walked behind the room and went to the break room. I sat my stuff down and went behind the counter. I walked around and its like he just know every place I work. He walked in and looked around. I helped this family look for some shoes. He comes and taps me on my shoulder and asked for this shoe in a size 7 1/2 in women. I walked to the back and brung the shoes out.
Aug/Try them on and see if u can fit them
Me/I don't want u to buy me nothin I want u to follow me
I pulled him to the back but he thought he was gettin some.
I don't want u to buy me anything I want u to love me and never hurt me yes I know everybody make mistakes and that's why I am forgiving this mistake. He hugged me so tight and I felt the same way from the first time we got together and hugged.

Y'all please tell me if I'm makin a mistake.!
