Started from a dare (COMPLETE)

Chapter 19

I woke up to crying. Quincey had been doing a lot of that lately. He's 2 months old now. "Q, baby stop crying". I said holding him. He cried even louder and it hurt my heart. I didn't know what was wrong. I changed his diaper and fed him. I bathed him and got him dressed in his little outfit that said "I love my mommy". On the front and decided to go visit his granny. I strapped him in his car seat and headed to see Rochelle.


About 10 minutes later we made it to Rochelle's. She's been a big support system. She opened the door and gave me a hug. I walked in and sat on the couch. She didn't hesitate coming to pick up Quincey and play with him. "Hey my chubby man". She said tickling his stomach. He laughed showing his gums. We sat and talked for a while then I decided to leave and go home. I was tired. Quincey had me up all night. I fed him again and laid him down for a nap. I was beat.

I laid down and watched some TV till I fell asleep. I woke up to the bright light of the Tv in my face. I ringed my face with cold water and checked on my baby. I picked him up and played with him. I squinted at the clock that now read 12:45am. Damn I slept a long time. I picked up Quincey and searched around form Jay. He should've came home already.

"Jay"? ......"JAY"? I called out. No answer. I called his phone millions of times. Still no answer. Where the hell could he be? I called Rochelle and she said she hadn't heard form him. I began to get worried and then pissed. Thinking of all the things he could be doing right now. I called his job and they told me he had left over and hour ago. My stomach turned, I was worried where the hell was he? And why wasn't he answering my calls.

About an hour had passed and I heard the door open. It was Ja'micheal. He tried creeping in the room quietly hoping not to wake me but I was already woke. "Where you been"? I asked annoyed. "Out". He snapped back. "Out where"? I said back picking Quincey up. "Why you all down my throat? I been at work handling some business. Iight. So why you sweatin me, damn". He said walking in the bathroom. What the fuck was his problem? He had to be up to something. He didn't have his work uniform on, so where the hell was he at? This conversation was far from over.


He came out the bathroom and I stared at him. "What... What the fuck you want Ariyah"? He snapped. "Where was you at Ja'micheal? I ain't gone ask yo ass again". I said yellin. "I been OUT. So stop asking me". He yelled. "You cheating on me Ja'micheal"? I asked. "What"? "ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME... Ja'micheal"? He laughed deviously. "You think I'm cheating on you? You that damn insecure? No I ain't cheating on you. I was at my damn grandmothers grave sight trying to clear my head. The first thing you think about when somebody walk in this house a lil late you think somebody cheating"? I had nothing to say. I felt stupid honestly. I just sat there and looked stupid. But why did he smell like liquor and perfume? I shook it off and just went to sleep.




Ja'micheal









I tried getting in the house quietly, but Riyah was up. Shit. I thought to myself whe. I heard her roll over and ask me where I'd been. I was kind of annoyed. I didn't want to talk because she would smell the liquor on my breathe. "Out". I responded trying to end the conversation. She wasn't hearing that. I should've known just "out" was gone suit her.


"Out where"? She asked annoyed. "Why you all down my throat? I been out working handling some business. Iight. So stop sweatin me, damn". I said before walking off in the bathroom to shower. I let the warm water sober me up, because I knew I was gone have to hear her mouth when I got out the shower. I had to think of a lie of where I'd been, and fast.


I was out with Toney and Quan at the strip club. If she knew where I'd been she'd go the fuck off. We got a few bottles and had a few strippers in our section nothing major. They just was Trynna take me out and clear my head.


Yeah I felt bad that I let a groupie birch suck me up. But Riyah can never find out about that. It'll tear her apart. I love her to much. I couldn't help it I was horny, stressed from work and I knew when I came home I wasn't gone get it. She had another week before she could start having sex again, and I couldn't wait that one more week, my dick was hard then.


I got out the shower. And guilt began to find its way when I started to sober up. I got dressed and got in the bed. Riyah just sat there and stared at me. What... What the fuck you want Ariyah"? I snapped. "Where was you at Ja'micheal? I ain't gone ask yo ass again". She said yelling. "I been OUT. So stop asking me". I yelled. "You cheating on me Ja'micheal"? She asked. "What"? "ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME... Ja'micheal"? He laughed deviously. "You think I'm cheating on you? You that damn insecure? No I ain't cheating on you. I was at my damn grandmothers grave sight trying to clear my head. The first thing you think about when somebody walk in this house a lil late you think somebody cheating"? I said ending the conversation.


I felt so bad lying to her, but she couldn't find out about this. I made sure of that. She just sat at the edge if the bed looking stupid. I knew she was thinking, she put Quincey in his crib and laid down next to me. The room was silent, I knew this shit had to be far from over.

I woke up early and got me and Quincey dressed. Riyah came in the bathroom and kissed Quincey and used the restroom. "Good morning". I said. She didn't say nothing she just walked right passed me.

"Good morning". I said again. Nothing. "Ariyah...... Ariyah"? I called her name and still no response. "What's wrong with you"? I asked. "Nothing". She lied. I brushed it off and finished getting Quincey ready. I was taking my lil man to my moms, so me and Riyah could spend some time together.



I drove to my mothers house an dropped off Quincey, then came back home. Riyah was still in her pajamas just watching TV. "Get dressed". I said. "For what"? She questioned. "Just get dressed".I assured her.


She smacked her lips and took a shower and got dressed. We got in the car and all she did was stare out the window. I turned down the radio. "Ariyah, what's your problem"? "Nothing". She said coldly turning the radio back up.


I took a deep breathe and continued to drive. I know Riyah ain't dumb. I feel bad as hell, this shit gone eat me alive and I know it. We pulled up at a Logan's, a bar and grill and waited to be seated at a table.

A waitress came up to us and sat us at a table for 2. About 5 minutes later a woman came up to the table ready to take our orders.

"Hello, my name is La'Shonda, and I'll be your waitress for today, can I start you all off with some drinks"? I knew her face. I quickly looked away, she smiled brightly in my face as if she knew who I was. She looked me up and down and chewed her gum then looked towards Riyah.


"What can I get you m'am"? She asked joyfully. "Sprite". She said. "And for you sir"? I stuttered and finally let out the words. "Coke. Coke would be fine". I said. She jotted down the drinks and left.


Shit. I'm caught, that's the girl from the club. This bitch worked here? Riyah looked at me funny and then shook her head and looked down at her menu. "Baby, you wanna go eat somewhere else"? I asked. "Nah, I'm fine here". She said with an attitude. My jaws tightened. I sat back in my seat and scratched my head.


I should've never went out last night. She brought our drinks out to the table and asked were we ready to order. We ordered and waited for our food. Riyah excused herself from the table and the waitress came back over.


"Here with yo baby mama huh"? She said laughing. "Yeah". I assured her. She giggled and licked her lips. "You working a lil sum, come back any time and ask for me, I'll do just as good a job as last night". She winked at me and left. She looked at Riyah who was approaching right behind her.


Due to the look on her face. I'm sure she heard exactly what she said.










Ok well that it.
