The Cheat

I walked through the airport looking for Mya until I saw her standing at the gate on her phone. I tried to stop the smile that was creeping on my face because I knew she wasn't happy to see me at all. As soon as we made eye contact she looked me up and down and went back to typing on her phone.

We walked through the airport together and went outside to her range rover. "Let me drive"

"You not driving my truck, I don't trust you with my life."

Here she go.

I shook my head and got in the passenger seat. It was quiet for awhile, besides the radio playing. I glanced over at her stomach and examined the rest of her. She gained a little weight but she still looked beautiful to me. Her hair was straight which was different because she always wore all curly, it looked good on her though.

She looked over at me and her eyes focused on my hair. "Why did you bleach your hair again? It's so blonde"

"You don't like it?"

"Nope" she shook her head and I could tell she was lying. Whenever she lie she do this weird as thing where she rub her bottom lip with her index finger and her thumb. I laughed to myself. "What time is the appointment?"

"At 4"

I looked at the clock that read 3:40 and nodded. "Don't say I hate you because you know I don't, I just have a weird way of expressing my love for you"

"You do hate me, everyone knows you hate me. Even theshaderoom knows" She giggled after saying that "I don't have a problem with it though 'cause I'ma just fuck your life up"

"Oh so you gon' fuck my life up? How exactly are you gonna do that? 'cause I ain't sign them divorce papers"

"And I ain't sign that prenup."

"That's fine, a divorce ain't happening 'cause I'm not signing them papers so a prenup don't even matter" I shrugged "Don't fuck with me and don't think you staying down here, you coming straight to New Jersey"

"No the fuck I'm not, you got me so messed up. My store is down here, I'm working and I'll be dammed if I let you come down here and do more damage to my life"

I smiled "Okay baby"

She didn't talk to me the whole time we were at the doctor, it didn't bother me at all though. The only reason I be talking shit to her is because it's funny when she's mad.

"So you just gon' ignore me?"

She started walking faster to the truck "I love you baby"

"Your hair look good"

She continued to ignore me as she got in the passenger seat and tossed me the keys so I could drive. I started the truck up and backed out the parking lot. The ride was silent and all of a sudden she started crying. I sighed and pulled over.

"What's wrong"

She shook her head and started crying even harder. I got out the truck and went to the passenger side. As soon as I opened her door she tried to close it but I stopped her. "Tell me what's wrong"

She sat there crying with her head in her hands so I grabbed her and she started hitting my chest. Her hands were small, that shit didn't hurt at all so I let her do it since it apparently made her feel better. "What's wrong My-"

"You!" She yelled "Everything that's wrong with me is because of you, like why do you insist on ruining everything for me? What did I ever do to you that would make you be so hateful towards me? You do so much shit to me and you don't realize how bad it hurts. I just want you to leave me alone, please just stop fucking with me."

I sighed and closed the door, making my way back over to the driver's side.

"I'll be here for the next appointment" I said as I stood up. She nodded and stared at the TV "Call me if you need anything, I don't mind flying out here."

"Okay"

I kissed her cheek and turned to walk out the door but she called me back. "Yes?"

"Can you um, take your ring off?" I looked down at my finger and removed the ring before smiling at her.

"Is that all babygirl?"

"Yes, thank you"

"No problem"

I left her house and my driver picked me up to take me to the airport. As much as it hurt me to take my ring off I had to do it to make her happy, I can't put my feelings before hers anymore.
