Lani Work Days

Its been a long day my feet are killing me and I just wanna get home to my babies . School in the morning & working nights is tuff but I got this.

"Ms. Lani ?" My student Chastity called me.

"yes?"
" are we gonna be ready for the performance in two weeks , Mrs. Amber hasn't been showing up and i just don't know if I'm ready, she was my motivation.

"Yea kid i know what you mean, ill call her. "

See after performing for Chris we all decided to help teach a youth class ages 8+ but with the way Amber & Nathaniel been so busy i seriously doubt they'll be here. I need Dante right now but i know he's in the class down the hall with the boys.

" listen up ladies ! We got this we did not come this far to give up on ourselves . The boys are getting their steps and we will to, i believe in you and you shou...

" I do to". Amber walks in and all the girls jump up excited. See Amber started this I'm just a fill in but I'm glad to have her back though.

." Look girls i told you everything  would be ok.
i grabbed Amber hand and walked her by the door.

"Are you back now ?".
" yes and you may leave i got it from here, besides Nathaniel's here to and i know your anxious to get home to your baby, ill see you tomorrow.

"Really? But don't you still need to go to Ms. Smith dance class as well ? She's gonna get on your case about being late again.

" Girl ill worry about all that you go and get your baby before mom keep her ill see you tomorrow.

I walked out the dance studio only to see a girl straddling Dante waist up on a bench by the water fountain .

" what a sight to see !" I said smiling.
They both got up quick and looked at me with fear in their eyes.

Dante

She looked at us smiling. I feel horrible that she had to see us like that but me and Lani been losing our connection lately, she always working and ignoring me.

"Baby i can explain this".

" I'm not mad Dante, ill get my stuff and me and Danie leaving in the morning.

Then she put on her jacket and walked out the door leaving me there looking at Tonya. Me and Tonya been talking and bonding for the past two weeks but i never thought id end up falling for her.

" mom can i come get Danie in the morning ? I'm really tired and it was a long practice. I faked yawn so she'd buy my story. But surprisingly she said ok and hung up and then i stopped infront of his house and knocked on his door.

" um Lani ? Whats wrong ? He answered the door.

I kissed him and slammed the door with my heel.

" Chris please just shut up and go with it. I jumped up on him wrapping my legs around his waist.

Amber..

" And that's it ladies call your parents tell them practice over, does anybody need a ride? . Everybody said no and walked out so i locked up and headed to The boys side to leave with my Baby.

" Nate baby you ready?, i asked and he turned around nodding his heading towards me to lock up his side.

" Girls practice go good ? , he asked.

" the end of it was, girls were having problems at first but i go them on their way, how about y'all ?

" well boys are coming along, Dante left pretty early so i guess all good."

Dante

"Look she will be okay baby its me and you know ." Tonya whispered in my ear on the car ride to her house. I was literally scared to go home and see Lani there.

" No you don't get it" i told her as i pulled up to her condo.

"Get what?" She asked

" Lani is my first love and i messed it all up, I'm stupid and what if one day my daughter asks me why I'm not with mommy ? How do i explain to my baby girl daddy messed it all up ?.  She sat in the seat looking at me and i  saw an ounce of guilt but she turned her head.

" you're right , I'm so stupid to break up a happy home, when i was younger my dads mistress did that to my mom and now I'm doing the same thing. Oh I'm so sorry Dante, this is over.  She hurriedly got out my car and ran inside the building. I've mad too many mistakes in my life, before it has started.

I drove off heading home hoping to God Lani is still there. But when i arrived nobody was there lights off, no cars.  Sat on the couch and put my head in my hands and wait.

She walked in at 4 in the morning, and when she saw me she instantly teared up and i got up and reached my hands to her but she stepped back.

" i don't wanna hear any excuses. Don't make up any because I'm in the wrong to. Can't believe i almost stooped down to your level. "She yelled.

"What are you saying ?"

"I went to Chris house hoping that maybe if i fucked him id feel better. But then i realized that's hoe shit and I'm way better so he stopped me and talked me in a better mood then i come seeing you sit here like you feel bad. Kiss my ass Dante".

She just pissed me off and before i knew it i got up and pushed her into the wall.

" You did not fuck him Lani !! , i shouted pissed.

She smirked but slapped me. " nah i wouldn't do you like you do me I'm not low down like you Dante. But maybe i should though right ?"

I grabbed hands and put them behind her head and stared at her.

" get off me !! Let me go !! I hate youuu !! , she yelled tears coming down her face.

" i hate you so much to baby. I kissed her and put her legs around me but she stared hitting my back and scratching my arms.

"Stop Lani,i yelled. She punched me in my stomach unwrapped her legs and ran upstairs. I held my stomach and followed her. I fucked up a lot but i love my child's mother, my best friend, my woman but i messed up. Sad part is we so young but id do this all over again.

" i know you not leaving, why you packing for huh Lani ?? You wanna leave me. I need you baby your my everything. .. please stay... lets go get Danie.

" I'm leaving, and even Danie would not want to see you at this moment you make me sick and ill be so happy when this performance over. I'M MOVING !!
