Ch 6.

PRINCESS
I Have Made My Decision.

I honestly thought I was over Antwan. I thought all feelings for him had disappeared. It has been over a year since I left him and I had Nick who had been everything Antwan had not. He wanted to always be around me and spoil me, he wanted nothing other than to be the man that made me happy and he sure was succeeding.

On top of that his sex was heaven. He took his time with me. Had me doing moves I never knew I could do. Everything about him was what a woman wished for. 

So why on earth did I feel sorry for Antwan when we went outside and saw him strangling that Dae Dae chick? He just found out that his son wasn't actually his. 

I wasn't happy or laughing at his expense like I should have been. Instead I felt his pain and I just wanted to take him into my arms and hold him. I had butterflies when he told her that she took away the one girl he ever truly loved. I shouldn't have felt that way but I did. I'm so glad I can keep a straight face because I could sense Nick watching me. When Antwan went back inside and started trashing the place, his mom told everyone to leave if they weren't family. I wanted to stay so bad but it would have looked terrible; me going to comfort my ex when my current partner stood right there. So I kissed and hugged everyone and left.

The car journey back to mine was so awkward. I don't know why. Nick was silent and so was I.

"What you thinking?" I asked.

I wanted to know. I needed to know. 

"How long it's gon be before you go back to him." He said dryly. 

I was gobsmacked he really thought I would leave him? I know I was in my feelings right now but I had sense. I have let Nick go one too many times. Not this time. 

"Why would you think that?"

Another question I needed to know. 

"You left him because he had a child with someone else... not because he cheated...right?" He answered with a question.

I didn't like where he was going with this. Nevertheless I still answered.

"Yes."

"So now we all know that she lied. What's stopping you from going back?" He didn't take his eye off the road the whole time. 

"You. You are what's stopping me from going back. I got a good thing going, a guy who makes me happy and a guy who wants me and me only. You are what I deserve. You are what I want." I answered as we pulled up to my house.

"Keep saying that to yo'self and maybe one day yo heart gon' agree." He said, then got out the car to open my side. 

What was that supposed to mean?

As I got out and made my way to the door, I heard the car start up. I turned around and saw Nick reverse and drive off. I was shocked. The plan was to come back to mine. I took out my phone and sent him a text:

Hey, why did you leave? I thought you was gon' stay over tonight?

I went inside and put my stuff down. Still no reply and he had read my message. I sighed and got into the shower. As I got out the shower I had two text messages. One from Nick and the other from Antwan:

Nick.x: Nah, you need to get your mind right. I know he will try and get you back and I don't think you gon' put up a fight with him to respect what you got now.
I have done nothing but fight for you and be there for you as a friend you can come to.
Not no more. If you choose me then you need to be sure that's what you want.
If you choose him just forget you ever knew a guy called Nick.
