Memories Faded

Chapter 6

Rya

"Baby you're home a couple days early" I said tying my robe walking down the stairs. He looked up and smiled. He looked up from his phone and smiled.

"I had to come back for a meeting, but I'll be leaving back out in a minute for a turn-around flight. I had to see your fine ass before I left though" He said walking over to me pulling me close to him. I blushed and kissed his lips softly before pulling away. He scrunched his face up and smiled.

"What's wrong? Where's lil man? I wanna kiss him goodbye" He said walking towards the den.

"Kiss him goodbye!?!?! That nigga kissing my kid?" I heard Odell roar from the top of the stairs.

"woaaaaahhhh. Rya what the fuck is this!? Why the fuck that nigga in my house? The fuck? You fucked this nigga?" Tremaine yelled storming back into the foyer. I sat down on the stairs and shook my head.

"Tre please calm down, Odell just stayed the night. He didn't get a chance to check in his hotel" I explained looking up at him.

"He couldn't stay at Jarvis?" He asked looking at Odell.

"Nigga fucking relax b. Rya was just looking out for a nigga okay. Ain't nobody trying to take ya girl. But I catch you slipping? She's mine" Odell spoke loudly. I put my face to my legs trying to hold my smile in. What he said was sweet, I'll admit that.

"Nigga, she not falling into your hands ever again, you lucky you her baby daddy or I'd throw you out my house" Tre spat at Dell. Dell laughed and shook his head.

"Nigga, fuck outta here. Don't miss your flight buddy" Odell said walking away laughing. I sighed and watched Tre approach me.

"I want him out my house in an hour" Tre spoke coming close to my face. "Cannot believe this nigga is in our home after all the shit you said about him" He added shaking his head walking back to grab his bags.

"Baby I swear it's not like that. But I love you. Enjoy your flight" I said standing up to kiss him. He swerved me and opened the door. "Wow Tre?!?! That's what we doing?" I ask pushing him towards the door.

"How I know what you been doing with ya mouth?" He spat at me shaking his head leaving out. My eyes widened as I slammed the door behind him sliding down to the floor crying. He has some fucking nerve. I have been nothing but faithful to Tremaine! Yes I danced on Odell, possibly led him on but it was never going to go anywhere. He and I both know this. But it doesn't give Tremaine the right to try to play me like that.

"You good bro?" I heard Odell's voice boom from the bottom of the staircase. "Have Jarvis come get you, this is too much. I'd like to be alone right now" I mumbled. "Nah, I'm not going anywhere Rya. We have absolutely nothing going on, so why you trying to kick me out? I'm down here for my son and that's it. But bruh was outta pocket." He explained to me. I looked up at him and sniffled.

"You let him kiss my kid?" Odell asked sliding down against the door next to me. I shook my head and turned towards him. "Okay, it wasn't like that. Delly was into the whole kissing thing it made him smile, Tre tried it and Delly was just a smiling so yeah I guess I allow Tremaine to show affection to our son." I explained taking a deep breath.

Odell ran his fingers through his hair and looked at me before smiling. "Okay Rya. Given the fact that nobody cared enough to tell me that you were pregnant. I cannot be upset that a man was stepping up to be that father figure in my son's life" He spat.

"Odell I begged your parents not to tell you because I still had a grudge against you! Yes! After all these years! I wanted nothing to do with you for the rest of my life, but after talking to your Mom she and I both agreed that the day would come soon...but Reggie took care of that" I plead.

"Point being now I'm here. I want to be in his life. I want him to know who his father is. Okay? You at least owe me that." He said sighing.

I smiled some and nodded my head placing my hand on his arm. "You're right. Odell from the bottom on my heart I am truly sorry for my childish actions concerning your child. And I will not allow past judgement to dictate our relationship with our son." I said squeezing his hand.

"I missed your touch" He mumbled looking down at my hand. I laughed nervously, and stood up. He followed and I went to make us something to eat. I guess co-parenting with Odell may actually work out.
