Baby Mama- JCole (Under Construction)

25- Forest Hill Drive

Jermaine Cole May 21, 2015 10:30 am, Home

I finally pull up to the condo I brought in replacement of my house. I'm dreading every second I have to spend breaking Kelsey's heart. I love her, I really do.... We have history, something that can never be taken from us. I just don't think I love her enough to continue to pursue her in a romantic way. Maybe I thought so at first, but now I'm seeing things differently.

I used her to basically avoid having any romantic involvement with Kai. And now that I'm finally giving into what I feel for her. Things are about to get complicated for us. The media gon be on our ass about this. Trust me all kinds of crazy stories are going to come out. I'm sure the main one will be that Kai and I plotted Danny's death just so we can be together. Like it wouldn't have been more simple for a nigga to divorce Danny and pay the alimony.

Despite what I know will be in store for us and Leilani's future.... I don't mind taking that risk. I Jermaine Cole am about to pursue my wife's killer.... That shit sounds psychotic. If I weren't the man in the middle of all of this shit. I would've checked myself into a mental institution long time ago.

After sitting in my car for a few more minutes -contemplating what I'm gon say to Kels- I exit my car. I take my time walking over to valet and handing them my keys. Once I do that I begin my journey up to my condo. I felt like my elevator ride went by too quick. Once the doors open I place my hands in my pocket and start walking down the hall to my new, temporary, home. I can't stand staying in this condo. I feel like I don't have any privacy. Like my life just on display.

Every step I take, counts for another step closer to seeing Kelsey. But shit.... It's now or never.

Once I make it to my door, I read over the number like I don't know where I live. "52A." I mumble. Procrastinating at its finest. The numbers/letters are brown, while my door is a dark blue. It's tacky if you ask me, but shit. It was a fast move with no complications or unnecessary questions asked. After a few seconds I pull out my house keys.

I can't help but huff as I unlock the door.

As I push open the door, I listen for any sounds. Hoping that Kelsey isn't home or maybe they still sleep. I walk completely in and immediately squint my eyes to the amount of sunshine coming in through my large window. When I close the door behind me I look around.

She ain't in the kitchen. And again I don't hear any noise. So I let out a breath of relief. With the realization that I'm alone, I secure my door and walk towards the stairs to get to my room.

Just as I make it to the spiral staircase, I hear footsteps walking down them. "Fuck." I grumble, staying put at the end of the stairs.

Soon enough I hear the footsteps get closer and then Kelsey comes into view. Her eyes are red and her face is puffy. I can hear her sniffing as she looks at me. I feel sort of guilty looking at her in this state. Especially knowing that I slept in pure bliss. While she probably cried herself to sleep.

"Morning." She smiles a little. Honestly, it sounds like she has a frog in her throat. "I heard you come in." She whispers.

I awkwardly scratch the back of my neck. "Uh yea... Good morning, ma. I ain't mean to wake you."

"You didnt." She says quickly. "I've been up waiting for you." Damn...

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry I over reacted about the Kai situation. She's having your baby and it was selfish of me to try to keep you away from being a father to your daughter. Especially since you've basically played that role for Manny since we've been with you."

"Kels-" She shush me and starts walking down the stairs towards me.

"Don't apologize. You have nothing to be sorry for. I love you and when I became your girlfriend I vowed to stick by you. And take on any baggage you have." She stops a few steps up from me so she matches my height, and she wraps her arms around my neck. "I know you don't have feelings for Kai. I was just overwhelmed when I accused you."
