Love Me Tomorrow

Chapter 26

KEIRA:

     Everyone was silent in the room where my baby shower was hosted. Alfred stood with a smile on his face as he held 4 bags in his hands. I didn't know what to think, Melissa looked pissed and Trey had that face, that face where he showed no type of emotion, no feeling at all. "Well would you like to open my gifts?" Alfred asked me.

           Usually Trey would freak if Alfred even said a word to me, but right now he's just sitting back and acting like there's nothing wrong. "I guess I will." I took the gifts and sat back down and began opening the 1st bag. My family all stared at me as I opened the gifts, they were so confused at what was going on as much as I were. The 1st bag contained clothes, high end clothes. How could we even afford all of these clothes.

           "They're cute, thanks Dad." I heard Trey thank Alfred.  Dad? Dad? He called Alfred Dad! "My wife thought these would be cute." "They're nice." Trey grabbed the other bag and shoved it onto my stomach. What the fuck is he's problem?! My family was eyeing Trey down, they weren't pleased to see Trey's attitude. One more strike, and something bad will probably happen.

                  "It's night wear." I said as I held up the clothes. "There's more to it." Alfred announced. Two of his associates came in with a crib. "Oh my gosh!" I said excited. We desperately needed the crib and now we have it. "I can't take this shit anymore." Melissa yelled. It looked a erupted volcano as she stormed out of the room.  This is one fucked up shower.

    I sat down on the couch as Trey and Alfred brought in all the things from the shower. I had some pain in my stomach, but it wasn't severe like I had earlier in my pregnancy. "Thanks again." I said to Alfred as he walked by. "No problem, Trey was telling me about the problems and I knew I needed to help." The problems? Why didn't Trey mention any problems?  I nodded. I couldn't say anything else.

               Trey sat on the opposite couch staring right at me. "Do we have a problem?" I asked as  I ended the silence between us two. Trey let out a sigh. "Keira, don't start." "Don't start! Trey, if we had problems, why couldn't we talk it out? Why are you going and talking to Alfred. I thought you told me to stay away from him." "Things are different. I'm giving Alfred a chance." "I thought you gave him chances before and he just ended up hurting you." Trey wasn't making any sense right now. "Keira, just drop it." "Maybe I don't want to end it." I mumbled. "You're full of bullshit, Keira." Trey replied. "Why can't you be honest with me!" I just wanted to know so desperately.

            Trey continued to ignore me. He was turning into his old self that Trey that caused us to break up the 1st time. Trey grabbed his car keys and he began walking to the front door. "You're leaving?" I yelled. No response, except a slam of the front door. I just can't deal with him anymore. He can't be acting like this once our daughter comes. I began putting clothes into my bags, maybe we need to separate. Luckily Seth and Monae are still here in Los Angeles.
