Delusional Love (Trey Songz, Carmelo Anthony, Bria Murphy Love Story)

Look At The Damage

Raquel

With Taj's surgery being a success, they are running some test and giving a goal for when he should be able to get back to himself. As for now he has on a full leg brace thingy and is using crunches but will later move to the cane. He still won't talk to me but he's gonna have to if he wants to know the truth. We got home and he sat down on the couch. I put my purse and jacket down as I went to help him.

"I got it." He barked

"I'm just trying to help."

"Well I don't need it." He sat down

"Look, I know you're mad at me but you do not have to use that tone of voice with me. Instead, you should talk to me like an adult. We're grown, we aren't kids anymore."

"Why? Why out of all people do you have to be the one to do this? You are suppose to be my wife and you, you cheat on me. So who's this Dante cat?" I swallowed hard as he asked that question

"You know Dante." I said

"Really Raquel? My fucking boss? So let me ask you this question, is the baby mine?" My eyes shot up quick as he asked that

"Of course this is your child. Why would I keep his baby?"

"I don't know. Why would you fuck him?"

"It was only 5 times."

"5 times my ass. I work for this nigga and here he is got me working all hours of the damn day and you fucking him. He smiling in my face and shit while he's fucking my fiancé." He paused after he said fiancé. By now the tears were flooding. "I can't stand to see you right now. You make me sick." He said struggling to get up. He finally did and left to the room. There's a lot I gotta do to fix this.

"How's Taj?" Momma asked

"He's fine." I said

"I hope he feels better. Me and Wade would've stopped by but with your situation-" Noah got cut off

"What situation?" Momma asked as I mouth to Noah that I'm gonna kill him

"I cheated on Taj, Momma." I said mugging Noah as she has a shocked expression on her face

"Sin." She said, "Just sin. No daughter of mine is going to be content with adultery." She said

"Momma, I'm not content with anything." I said as Noah shrugged nervously

"Momma, why don't we finish our tea?" Noah asked trying to change the subject

"I will be letting your father know about this too." She stood up and dropped $3.00 on the table and leaving

"Why would you bring that up?" I looked at Noah

"Sorry Roc. It slipped out, she's Moms, you know we tell her everything." Noah explained

"Now I gotta hear my father's mouth about this. I know I did dirt but she didn't need to know nor does he." I got up and walked off

"How's things between you two anyway?" Noah caught up to me

"You shouldn't even have to ask that question. He doesn't hold me at night anymore, he doesn't acknowledge me when I walk into the room, no eye contact or communication. I hate myself for allowing this to happen." I said as O became very emotional

"Awwwww. Rocky, everything's gonna be okay." Noah said comforting me

"I hope so." I sniffled and wiped a tear

"Well, I gotta get going. Wade's probably waiting on me."

"Okay. Bye Noah." I hugged him

"Bye, Rocky. Take it easy, call me if you need me."
