The Letter from James (COMPLETED)

Tired

QUIANTE

The look on Korryn's face when she saw James, Sierra, and Sierra's mom sitting there partially made me cry inside. The hurt and disgust on her face just made me want to kick James's ass. But because I partially promised to be cool for Korryn, imma be cool.

"Hello Korryn..." Sierra said.

Korryn didn't reply and gave James a glare that could kill his ass where he sat.

"James. What the fuck is this?" Korryn said.

"I wanted us to have a family dinner and talk about this." He said.

"We are not a fucking family. How many times do I have to say this? You are my sperm donor and that is all you are to me. I knew I shouldn't have come to this stupid ass dinner." She said, turning around trying to walk away.

"Korryn, you knew if any of what you said was true, you wouldn't have even bothered showing up here tonight." He said.

That persuaded her to turn around. She looked in his eyes and her face softened.

"You're right. You're absolutely right. James....I'm just tired of going through all this. First my mother dies, then I find out Korey isn't my father and that you are, and then I find out about my sister. And then I find out that Sierra is my sister. I'm just tired. This is draining. I'm tired of holding up this angry facade. I want to love you. I want to open up my life to you but after all the shit you pulled, I don't know if I can. I will sit down and hear what you have to say....ONLY because I'm tired of being angry." She said, as tears streamed down her face.

I wiped them with my thumbs, kissed her lips, and held her close to my chest. I knew my baby felt this way but at the same time I didn't know all the details. I couldn't get it out of her because I know the type of person Korryn is. I would never force her to tell me something that she didn't really wanna talk about but when we take our vows, that will change because when something is wrong with her, something is wrong with me.

I pulled her chair out for her, let her sit down, and pushed it back in.

"Korryn.....even though you already know Sierra, this is your sister." He said.

"Hello Sierra." She said, genuinely.

"Hello Korryn." Sierra said.

"This is her mother, Janice. We were together when I cheated on her with your mother." James said.

Now I'm just sitting observing and then this nigga says to Sierra's mom, like she didn't already know me: This is the dirty motha fucker that was Sierra's boyfriend and now Korryn's fiancée.

"Wait one minute. I'm not dirty. Korryn and I had been best friends for years. YEARS. Sierra was never exactly my girlfriend. She always claimed me but I only claimed her in the beginning. Me and Sierra grew apart which made me distance myself. There were weeks where Sierra and I didn't talk and I knew she was talking to Rodrick then because one of my boys was close to Rodrick. So when I found out, Korryn and I became more than friends and it went from there." I said.

Sierra looked shocked that I knew about her and Rodrick but she shouldn't have. She knows I know everything.

"Quiante, I'm sorry. But from now on, since Korryn is my sister, I will definitely leave you alone. I will not try and break you guys up because when it comes to my family, I stick with them, not turn against them." Sierra said, and I actually believed her.

"I respect that Sierra." Korryn said.

Korryn and Sierra got up and gave each other hugs. I couldn't believe that. I never thought that my "ex" and my fiancée would ever get along. They were standing there crying with each other. I thought that was the most beautiful sight ever.

"Wait, so Sierra cheated on you, not exactly the opposite way around?" James asked and everyone turned and looked at me.

"That's exactly what I'm saying." I said.

"So....I had all that shit done to you for nothing." James said and then smirked.

"James....are you fucking serious?? You got Rodrick to rob him because you thought Quiante cheated on Sierra?" Korryn said.

"Yes. I wanted to protect my daughters." He said.

"Daughters??? You hurt me. You hurt my future husband. He was in the hospital because of you. You didn't help anybody....you fucked up our lives. That's one thing you did for sure." Korryn said, stepping away from Sierra and getting in James's face.

"I did it to help y'all. Didn't it bring you and Quiante closer?" He said.

Korryn was about to answer but I cut her off.

"See. I promised Korryn I wouldn't go off on yo bitch ass but no. It damn near tore us apart. She was stressed out the entire time I was in there. You fucked up her life. So no. You didn't help shit. Stay the fuck out of our relationship." I said.

KORRYN

I couldn't believe James said he was helping his daughters. The only "daughter" you helped was Sierra and you still didn't really help her because that basically tore up her relationship with Rodrick. I'm just done with this whole thing.

"Look. I'm glad you brought me and Sierra together because we're gonna be family. Now you and I....James I don't know if I could ever be family with you after the shit you just said and pulled. Sierra.....call me. I will meet up with you later. Janice....it was nice meeting you.....Baby....let's go." I said to Quiante and we got up and walked out to the car.

We rode home in silence. Quiante stared out the window and I just kept my eyes on the road. When we got home, I took my shoes off at the door and went straight to the bedroom. I plopped on the bed and just stared at the ceiling fan going around. I was just thinking about what transpired tonight and the shit that was said. Granted, I wanted to love James and possibly allow him to be my father but I don't know if I can after what just happened. He genuinely thought he was helping out and then after being told he didn't tried to give this lame ass excuse talking about it brought us closer. Bitch do you want a medal??? You damn near tore everyone apart.

Quiante came and laid next to me and just traced my features with his finger. I turned over and just looked in his eyes. He gave me a long passionate kiss and pulled away. He took off my clothes and left me in my bra and underwear and I took off his and left him only in his underwear. He kissed me again and I turned over and we just spooned. I just cried in his arms over the brokenness I felt. I missed my mother. I missed Korey. I missed Kasey. I missed the opportunity of having my biological father in my life. I missed school. I missed everything. On top of all this shit, the viewing of my mom's body is tomorrow. How the hell am I going to handle all this shit? I just cried and Quiante just held me and that's how we went to sleep.
