Anything For Love

Chapter 28

Toni Braxton

I woke up to an empty room and a quiet house. I did my hygiene, went downstairs and seen Kenny sitting on the couch watching t.v.

"Where's Peyton?" I asked coldly.

"My mother wanted to see her" He said with his eyes glued to the t.v.

"Oh" I said while pouring myself a glass of orange juice.

"How did you sleep" He asked as if he were trying to make conversation.

"Not good...you?" I asked while drinking my juice.

"Terrible" He got up and walked to the kitchen where Toni was and stood across from her.

"Are you ready to unpause?" He asked.

"Wait..." I said while finishing the rest of my juice and wiping my mouth on a napkin.

"Now?" He asked again.

"Wait, No matter what happens, I just want you to know that I love you and always will." I said.

"I love you too baby." He said while kissing her like it was his last.

"Ok...1-2-3 upause" They said simultaneously.

"How could you just cheat on me like that Kenny" I said with my eyes closed.

"For the millionth time, I DID NOT CHEAT ON YOU TONI MICHELLE BRAXTON" He shouted.

"Then explain what you said last night." I threw back at him.

"I...I...uhh" He struggled to find what to say.

"I Uh Duhhhhhh" I mocked him.

"That's all you can say for yourself" I said with my arms crossed.

"Oh come on, that's not fair Tone"

"You know what my dad did to my mom, you know how it makes me feel, and what do you do? You go out and cheat on me" I said with tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Toni I love you way too much to just cheat on you and you know that."

"I don't know anything anymore" I said while grabbing my stuff and walking to the door.

"TONI, DON'T YOU DARE WALK OUT THAT DOOR"

I paused slightly and swung the door open and rushed to my car. I started it and paused at the wheel. I seen Kenny at my window asking me to open the door, I looked down, then back up at Kenny as a tear rolled down my cheek. I then looked back at the steering wheel and drove off.

I arrived home and threw my stuff on the floor and collapsed on my bed. I buried my face into my soft pillows and began to let the tears flow. I wanted to cry for so long that I would run out of liquids in my body. I wanted to cry for so long that my whole bed would be completely soaked with tears. I wanted to just cry and cry and cry nonstop. I mean cheating? Why would he do that I love him and I thought he loved me equally, but i guess I was sadly mistaken. Is this like a punishment for when Kevon and I kissed? Even though he kissed me...Ken seen it and forgave me... right?

No matter how many excuses I thought of, none of them were a good reason for Ken cheating on me. Only thing i'm certain of is i'm never getting up from this bed and i'm not going to stop crying.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

If I just ignore it, whoever it is will go away.

They knocked again.

I kept ignoring and crying.

"Toni I know you're in there, your car is here." I heard Ken say.

"Someone who will never find true love lives here...so stay away" I shouted from my room.

"You already found it...with me" He shouted back.

"Oh i'm sorry, Guy who cheated on me...I don't think I did." I snapped back.

"Can you open up so we can talk?" He begged.

"No...I don't want to see you" I said while still crying in bed.

I then heard the door unlock, open, then close. I knew I shouldn't have put the key under the mat. I heard footsteps stop at my doorway.

"Go away" I said with my eyes still closed.

"You know I can't do that"

Hearing his voice so close up flicked the waterworks switch on and then came the down pour of what seemed like an endless stream of tears.

"Would you just stop torturing yourself and come give me a hug"

"No...I don't hug cheaters." I said, secretly fighting the urge to jump into his arms and kiss him all over.

"I didn't cheat Toni"

"Then what were you doing last night Kenny" I mocked.

I felt him sit near me on the bed and I instantly got up and went downstairs to cry in the pillows on the couch.

"Toni..." His voiced trailed off.

"Oh come on, you know I hate to see you cry." He said while sitting on the couch.

"Well look ken, i'm crying... these are tears caused by you" I said in a shaky voice while yelling in his face, showing him my tears.

All Kenny could do at that point was kiss her. He kissed her long and good, with tongue and passion. She had no choice but to kiss him back. He lifted her and carried her upstairs. They made it to her room and he began to violently rip her clothes off of her until she had nothing on but a thong. He then took his clothes off and returned to their forceful kiss. Soon the room filled with phrases like:

"MMHMMM'

"Does that feel good babe?"

"Keep it right there, keep it right there."

"OOOHHHH BABY"

"OOH"

"OOH"

"OOH"

"OOH"

"OOOOOHHHHH"

"AHHH YEAAA"
