Delusional Love (Trey Songz, Carmelo Anthony, Bria Murphy Love Story)

New WARleans

Taj

"Wassup boy?" Melo dapped me up. "You know my wife LaLa." He said.

"Yeah. I remember Ms. LaLa Anthony." I said shaking her hand.

"You in any events this weekend?" Melo asked me.

"Naw, just here to enjoy the free time and see the talents." I said.

"Yeah. Tim is in the Rookie vs Sophmore game. You didn't get selected?"

"I did, but I just turned down the offer to relax."

"Yeah, but it's for the fans."

"Yeah, I'll do it next year or something." I said.

"Where's Raquel?"

"She's over there." I looked over at her with TayShawn seeing Dante's ass talking to her. "Yo man. I'll be back." I said walking off.

"Raquel, I love you." Dante said.

"Dante, I'm sorry but I don't want anything to do with you." Raquel said as I wrapped my arm around her.

"Why don't you kick rocks before it gets ugly in here?" I said.

"The fuck up out of here. I'm talking to Raquel."

"She clearly don't wanna talk to you."

"Nigga, nobody is talking to you."

"Dante, just leave me alone!" Raquel said. "Leave me alone. I don't wanna see your face anymore, hear your name, or anything keep your distance." She said before walking off towards the bathroom with TayShawn.

"Nigga when will you get it that she don't want you anymore? Why can't you just leave her alone and let her be happy?" I asked.

"Cause I'm not the reason she happy." He said back.

"Give it a break nigga. She don't want you." I laughed.

"If it wasn't for you being that kids father, you wouldn't be in the picture." He said before smirking. "What if your son isn't your son?" He asked putting emphasise on the word isn't.

"But he is, so why don't you do us a favor and shut the hell up."

"Hitting nerves or nah?"

"Why are you even here anyways? Taking yo clowning ass back to where ever you came from." I said turning to walk away but got tugged on and then felt knuckles connect with my cheek. There was a few hits before we were pulled away from eachother and handcuffed. Raquel.came out of the bathroom just as I was escorted out.

"Dada." TayShawn said reaching for me.

"I'ma call you Raquel." I said walking past them. I heard TayShawn start to cry as I walked out.

I was released later that night. As for Dante, he being charged with assault for starting it. I got fined, and I know the league will fine and suspend me a couple games too.

"Taj, tell me what happened in New Orleans." Coach Woodson asked.

"That guy threw the first punch." I said.

"Taj, come on man. The league is trying to suspend you. We gotta get ready for play-offs." Melo said.

"That's what happened." I sighed. "The guy knows my fiancé." I said rubbing my forehead.

"We'll make up some stupid excuse." He said. "Get home to your families." He said dismissing us. I'm not necessarily mad at Rocky, but I am. This nigga had moments with the only woman in this world that I love and I will never ever be able to say, I was the only nigga she ever been with. I love her with all the strength and power in me. Still to this day, this shit is still in my head.

"I made you dinner." Roc said as I sat there at the table. She placed my plate in front of me as I looked at it. I wasn't that hungry. She sat down in the chair at the table and was quiet for a minute before saying anything. "I understand that you're mad Taj, but being mad at the world and mad at me isn't going to solve this." She said. I took a deep breath collecting my thoughts before saying anything.

"This nigga ruined my life. He took one of my most valued asset that every nigga wanted. I still walk with this shit hanging above me Roc. I can't just forget that this nigga was doing things to you that only I was suppose to do." I said looking at her as she sat there listening. "I sometimes have nightmares about all of this and hope that I wake up and be like it's just a dream. But it ain't." I said before sighing and standing up. "I'm not hungry, I'll probably eat it later." I said heading up to our room. I grabbed some clothes and got in the shower. I thought, thought about all the good and weighed it out with the bad. I'm mostly mad at myself for not realizing what was in my face the whole time that happened. All that kept poppin up in my head was the sight of my girl being satisfied by this nigga. I have to find some way to get passed this, because I love Raquel and I wanna mean it with no second thoughts at the alter. When I got out the shower, I went to the bedroom and laid down in bed to relax. Roc walked in and grabbed her stuff for her shower. I just chilled and watched the Thunder and Heat game. It was the end of the 3rd quarter when Roc came out the bathroom, smelling like her French Vanilla body wash. She had on my college jersey and some boy shorts. She then checked on TayShawn before getting in bed with me. She turned her back to me. I then turned off the TV and wrapped my arms around Roc. She scooted closer and locked our fingers together.

Raquel

I feel like crap for all of this. If I just had never slept with Dante in the first place, this wouldn't be an issue. I'm glad Taj accepted me back into his life and even gave me a second chance, but I know deep down, he's still hurting from the pain I caused. I never intended or wanted to hurt him. As Taj turned off the TV he wrapped his arm around me. I scooted closer and locked our fingers together. I'm glad that even with the things that have happened, he still holds me close to him. He then inhaled.

"I love you Roc." He kissed my ear. I turned and faced him.

"I love you too." I said before I placed my face in the crook of his neck.

2 Months Later

"Babe..." Taj said.

"Hmmm?"

"I still can't believe it." He said referring to them not making the play-offs.

"I can't either. You guys got next year though. Prepare for it."

"I just hope Phil lets me stay."

"He will. Don't doubt yourself."

"I just got all these thoughts racing through my head."

"I understand babe. You're job is going in a way you can't control."

"They think Melo leaving, and then we got all these other rumors about Coach supposedly getting fired. Things are just shaky now."

"I'm going to support you with whatever happens Taj. Remember that." I said.

"Thanks lil mama." He said kissing me.

"Let go get Tay Tay from his nap."

"I'ma just be chillen here." He said as I got up.
