We Need Each Other

I'm lost

Aiden Pov

"Have you heard from London?"I asked Ashlen as she bathed Amari."Yea,she's doing well."She said.

"She hasn't been answering any of my calls or text."I said."I just want to talk to her."I added.

"You know you hurt her a lot, and she feels terrible about messing around with you."

Going through my hair I said "I've told her a million of times I'm sorry. Where does she stay?"

"She moved back to her hometown."Ashlen said.

"Why?"I asked.

"She thought you would want to keep the baby secret so she just went back home and her people are gonna help raise the child."Ashlen said rinsing Amari off.

"I don't want our child to be secret, I'd tell her if she just pick up the phone."I said getting irritated.

"Hey Aiden."Stephen said walking pass the bathroom with SJ on his back."Hey ."I said back.

"Does Cassie even know yet?"Ashlen said wrapping Amari up in a towel.

"No."I said.

"Handle her and then try talking to London. London will talk to you when she's ready to talk promise you."she said as Amari kept making noises.

"Man I guess, if you ever talk to her, let her know I'm truly sorry. I really love and care about her and to please answer my calls."

"Ok Aiden."she said dressing Amari.

"Well I gotta go speak to Cassie, so be prepared for me to come back."I said leaving the bathroom.

"Uncle,Uncle come here." Riley and Ashley said."What."I said walking into the room.

"You ugly, you your daddy son, Aye."they said in unison.

"Yal stank,go take a bath, Aye. " I said flicking them off.

Once I got home Cassie was there doing Ana's hair, while the girls watched tv."Come with me to the room Cassie, we need to talk."I said.

She got up and followed me to the room.
"Wassup."she said sitting next to me on the bed.

"Cassie, I love you but I also love another woman and she's pregnant with my child." I said.

She sat there in silence. A few tears went down her face. I grabbed her by her chin and gave her a kiss."I love you Cassie, I want our marriage to work out."

"How when there's another woman in the picture who's pregnant with your child?"

"I don't know Cassie, I'm so lost right now. I love you,but I love her too. I want to remain married to you, but I feel like I should have married her. I want y'all both and I know I can't have you both. Just stay with me baby, don't leave me. Hopefully this crush we'll go away and we get back on track. Please. You have to understand me right now."I said.

She didn't respond. So I started kissing her lips and neck. I picked her up and laid her on the bed. Taking off her shirt,I kissed all over her stomach. She pushed my head off her and said "Stop."

I did as told and we just stared at each other.
"So how you gonna get over this little crush
when you have to deal with her because y'all have a baby. It's easy to forget about someone you'll never see again, but this girl is now in your life."
