I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing from my phone. I turned it off and sat up in the bed. I looked over to my left and saw that Brandon's side was empty.

The events from last night started to flow through my head and I was having mixed emotions. I was still mad at Brandon for missing the therapy session, but I was more mad at myself for caving in. The sex was great considering we haven't been intimate in a while, but it still didn't fix our problems.

I put last nights events in the back of my mind and got out of bed to get ready for the day. I was off from my desk job today which was good because I needed it, but I still had class and I had to pick up the kids from school and practice. Even though I didn't have class until 9, I usually wake up to eat breakfast with Brandon before he leaves for work.

When I walked into the bathroom, the shower was rubbing letting me know that Brandon was getting ready for his day. I brushed my teeth and got the rest of my hygiene together before tying my robe. I walked into the kitchen and got all the ingredients ready for breakfast.

After about ten minutes, Brandon came out of our bedroom.

"Morning baby," he came over and kissed my cheek.

"Good morning," I have him a small smile.

"You want orange juice or coffee?" I asked him while he sat at the island.

"Mmm lemme get some oj," he responded and I nodded my head.

"What you got going today?" He asked.

"Mm class at 9, then I gotta get Laila from daycare and drop her off at gymnastics and go to Zayden's basketball game later," I told him.

"You think you gonna be free for lunch?" He asked.

"Um I should be," I turned around with a smile on my face.

"Aight, I'll come scoop you up around 12 and take you to lunch like we used to," he told me and that made me happy. Even though I was happy, I didn't wanna get my hopes up too high because Brandon has let me down time and time again.

"I'm for real Mimi," he assured me.

"Alright. My second class gets out at 11:45. I can meet you near the education building," I told him and he nodded his head.

"Aight coo," he said.

"But we really do need to talk Brandon," I reminded him.

"Last night was great, but it doesn't just solve our problems," I told him.

"Yeah you right, but can we talk about it at lunch. Let's just enjoy our morning," he did what he usually did and tried to brush it off.

"Ok," I sighed while I plated his food.
