Family Man

Chapter 26

       "He Won't Make It Home Tonight "

Teesha exhaled sharply as she slammed the door. Everything was happening so fast and she felt closed in. Tears cascaded down her cheeks as she thought about her failed marriage."Michael." She wimpered out leaving the foyer hoping a hot  bath would help her relax.  Everyone else stood outside,Michael with a disgruntel stare on his face and Jesse gritting his teeth ready to sink them into, Michael.  Kimbra clinched ahold to his arm looking up at him.

"Michael, baby let's go."She nodded."Let's go back to my suite. Forget about her she doesn't understand you and she doesn't love you. Baby,let me take care of you."Kimbra  sighed, now standing infront of him with her hands on both sides of his cheeks.

Jesse stood there shaking his head "You two are disgusting. "He shrieked with a sarcastic chuckle .

"Disgusting?"Kimbra  scoffed looking as if her own breath stunk .

"Yeah. Disgusting the way you behave. And you...Teesha couldn't have made a better choice kicking you out!"Jeese snarled.

"I've had enough of you! You come here turn my wife against me. Then talk shit to me. "Michael bit his lip walking forward pushing Jesse in his chest.

"Michael, he's not worth it and neither is she.Let's go!"Kimbra yelled standing in between the two. "Let the little boy pout. He's mad because you have me and he's left with shit."She turned around and rolled her eyes at Jesse.

"And who the he'll are you?You're not worth the stench on a common Hooker,but then again. Your boy can really choose 'em. "He laughed walking away patting,Michael on the back .

"Screw you,you lonely fucker! "Kimbra snapped throwing up her middle finger not realizing, Michael had walked over to the front door."Baby.."She looked around as her hair fell off her shoulder. She walked over to where he was. She  rested her face on his back,wrapping her arms around him. "I know right now it hurts. I know you loved her,but it's over.  It's the past and I'm your future, so is our baby."

Michael turned to look at her he remained silent with tears welled up in his eyes.  Not a word was parted. She took him by the hand and they walked to her rental car where they both got in and preceeded to leave.

A couple of days had passed,Teesha had not left the house, but called to check on Le'lani.  She insisted that she was coming to pick her up,but Katherine would hear of no such thing.

"Dear, she's fine here, besides I don't see her as often as I want and I know you and Michael have things to talk over. "Katherine stated.

"Um,Michael. I-I Mrs.Jackson, I might as we'll tell you. Things are really ugly between us and there's no fixing us."Teesha sighed as tears fell.

"Baby, anything can be fix. I know my son is pigheaded.He gets that from Joseph, but I do know he loves you."Katherine told her

"I really don't know what, Michael feels at this point in our marriage. I'm sorry that I involved you in this and I can pick up, Le'lani."Teesha winced.

"Le'lani doesn't need to see you in tears.  I can tell in your voice you've been crying. Fix your marriage, my grand baby is quite fine being spoiled  by me."Katherine said with a smile.

"Alright.Thank you,but tell her I love her ."She smiled slightly and ended the call. 

Soon as her call ended and she put the phone down it rung. She looked seeing Michael's number,yet ignored it.  She screamed out "WHAT DO YOU WANT!!!" Then she slammed the phone back down on the Island."I gotta...I gotta get away. "Tears cascaded  down her face as she grew in a panic grabbing her purse and keys leaving through the garage door.
