Life after Marriage

19.

Kyrie P.O.V.

I had sat through her whole concert with the pictures of her and Wiz on my mind. Liyah on the other hand, loved it and that's all that mattered at the end. but i still needed to talk to her. i needed to see her, and him as well. i made my way through the crowd pulling my hood over my face as i held Liyah closer in my arms.

i had made it to backstage as i walked up giving the security guards a head nod and walked in. but they had stopped me

"excuse me you have a pass," they asked. i sighed as i pulled my hood off and they started laughing.

"oh my bad Kyrie! just tryna protect the Mrs. " they moved out the way letting me walk in. i walked straight ahead as i placed Liyah on her feet and grabbed her hand. i walked up to Leelee's dressing room and knocked on the door.

"come in " she said sweetly. i opened the door allowing liyah to run in first.

"Mommy !! i loved the show" she squealed.

"aww baby i missed you ! soo much."

"hey Aaliyah, remember me ?" he asked. i heard the deep voice and it wasn't anyone i knew.

"yea, you use to give me all those gifts" i heard her say which really made me question who this nigga was.

"yep, see told you she would remember me " i heard them laugh.

"who you here with baby?" Leelee asked which was my cue to come from behind the door. i walked in and i made eye contact with Wiz himself before making eye contact with Leelee.

"Kyrie my man wassup ?" he said as he stood up and walked over to me sticking his hand out. i looked down at it then back a Leelee.

"can i talk to My Wife for a second my man," i said not breaking eye contact with her.

"sure sure, hey Liyah want to go steal all the snack ?" he asked her as she nodded and grabbed his hand.

"Her names Aaliyah to you " i said before the door closed.

"what are you doing here?" she asked as she stood up walking over to her mirror.

"no the question is why are you hanging with this nigga so much? all these pictures circling around on the internet and in my messages of you two all hugged up like he's ya nigga"

"doesn't feel so nice being on the other end of the stick huh? " she asked smirking.

"oh so this is just to get back at me ? for that Kehlani shit? i told you i didn't fuck her. i swore on the bible" i held my hands up.

" you also told me nothing happened and you didn't kiss her." she said smartly.

"but i didn't swear on the bible about that. i swear i would never disrespect you in that way. i learned my lesson and i stopped the kiss before it got too far. I'm not we are still even talking about something that is confirmed didn't happen. " i sighed as i paced the floor.

" back to my question. why are you here?" she asked again .

"I'm here trynna fight for this marriage. I'm trynna fight for my wife. I'm tryna show you i want this. i need you in my life. I'm showing you I'm willing to fight for you and this marriage. but your showing me that just maybe you don't want this" i sighed.

"Kyrie i love you and you know that, but maybe we committed to this relationship too early. we've been together since college. we haven't given ourself's the chance to try new things and or people--"

"wait your trynna see new people?" i cut her off.

"no Kyrie you're missing the whole point --"

"no I'm not, your trynna tell me you don't want to be a family anymore. Lee we have a daughter and another baby on the way. did you forget that ?" i asked. sh sighed as she sat down in the chair on front of the mirror.

"i know Kyrie. i just feel im not enough for you, and im done feeling that way. im tired, so tired of doing everything in my power to make you happy and seeing you cant do the same for me."

"i don't make you happy?"

"it's not that you dont make me happy, it's more that you don't accept and allowing me to do things that make me happy because of the fear of it conflicting with you life and your career." i sighed as i knew what she was hinting at.

"look ,Lee i had a long talk with your mom. she got me to understand why i acted like that. and your right i was afraid of you not being the because i became accustomed to always having you in the stands from college days. but i have to realize you have your own dream you want to accomplish and i accept that. i never want to be the thing holding you back from your full potential. ill make it to the shows i can. but i just don't want you giving up on me on us and this family" i said as i a tear fell and i tried to whip it before it became a hurricane of tears.

"i just need time okay ? this all sounds good, but actions speak louder than words. " she said as she stood up and stood in front of me grabbing my hand. i stood up as well as she wrapped her arms around my waist leaning her head in my chest for a hug that returned. missing feeling her in my arms.

"i love you Kyrie don't ever think i don't. but we need to see if this is what we really want. okay?" she asked. i was too wrapped up in having her in my arms to realize what she said. i just nodded as i pecked her forehead.

"i love you Lee"

she pulled away and grabbed my hand as she lead us out the room and to the food where Liyah was. i was gona be heading home with my daughter and alot on my mind. but not once was i gonna thing this marriage was over, cause its not i wont let it.
