Life after Marriage

33

LeeLee P.O.V.

I knew I was the one that made the decision to break off my marriage for good and I was fine when he left last night and when I fell asleep.

But now this morning as I'm laying in bed alone and staring at his actual signature on the documents for divorce this is all too surreal for me.

I'm losing my family after 8 years of being with the love of my life. There is no doubt that I still love Kyrie tremendously. But I just couldn't get over that bitch on my man.

" MOMMY !!! YOU'RE BACK !!" Aaliyah yelled as she jumped in my bed.

"Hey baby you missed me ? "

" yes a lot a lot , where did you go ?" She asked kissing my face.

"I went to Gege moms house " I smiled

" YOU WENT TO JAMAICA !??? WITHOUT ME!"

"I'm gonna bring you ... you wanna go? "

" yessss" she cheesed

"Where's daddy?" She looked around

After everything that happened last night I grabbed me and Aaliyah's stuff and headed over to the house that Kyrie had bought for us.

I decided I wasn't gonna go back to Ohio because I needed space from him. I knew I had him sign the papers but one part of me still wants him to still fight for me , for this, for us.

" he' went back home."

" are we gonna go back home ?"

" no ... we are gonna go on vacation to Jamaica " I smiled

"REALY!!?"

" yup we got to get to packing "

She quickly hopped off the bed and ran out my room.

What better way to get over my sorrow and broke. Marriage than a vacation with my daughter this time.

A few months away would be great.

Kyrie P.O.V.

" you good ?" Lebron asked as he walked over to me as I shot free throws in the gym.

Practice was at 8am but I couldn't sleep once I landed so I got here around 5am and just started putting in work .

" I'm good, why?" I asked as I shot yet another free throw and missed it.

" uh cause your here, at pracice... early... and you text me around 4 in the fucking morning telling me to come here." He said whipping the crust out his eyes still.

" I wanted to practice, n put up shots. I mean if you needed your beauty rest you could have just stayed in bed " I shrugged missing another shot.

"Ight, nah what's really going on ... let's talk"

" I'm fine " i sighed

" ya not " he defended

" how would you know ?"

" Kyrie you never at practice 4 hours early , you never randomly hmu to shoot around I'm the one that hits you up, and what are you like 0/5 at the free throw right now knowing damn well you hit those." He sighed as he walked over to the chairs and sat down .

" let me know wassup , come here"

I sighed as I placed her all under my arm making my way over to him, sitting down in the chair next to him.

" divorce.." I spoke

He quickly turned to look at me with shocked eyes.

" YA LYING!!!?"

"i fucking wish " I placed my face in my hands and just started crying .

"Let it out! Your holding this shit in and it ain't good for you . You need to cry . Your gunna be tough but even tough nigga's like us get our feelings hurt" he spoke patting my back.

" I fought man. I put my pride aside and fought for her. While she was out there chilling with another nigga "

" nah... you serious ? Do you know who he is ?" He asked

" that new lottery pick on the heat " i rolled my eyes .

" justice? So that pic on shade room was real she confirmed it ?" He sat up now .

" yea" I sighed

" honestly, maybe this ain't too bad. Now you can think about yourself. She's probably somewhere noticing her mistakes crying over you right now. You can't be doing the same . You gotta work on a better you so when y'all DO get back ---"

" nah ain't no getting back ... I signed those papers. I'm not getting remarried. Waste of ducking money. She made her decision and I have no control. She don't want me ... I fight and she don't respect it .. then I don't wannna stress myself " I shrugged whipping my tears.

"That's the mindset you have to have. Atleast now you can go out with us after games now " we both laughed

" man be quiet and come take this L " I stood up grabbing the ball.

" yea we just sat down on the plane " I spoke to my mother on the phone.

She couldn't come with us to Jamaica this time due to her having to work. So it was just liyah and I .

" okay, call me when you land. Papa is gonna be waiting for you guys at the airport"

" okay love you "

" love you too.. kiss liyah for me "

" I will bye" I said as I hung up the phone and looked down at liyah as she sat on the window seat reading her favorite book. It hurt me every time I look at her knowing I let her down in having a perfect family.

She was gonna have to get use to not having her dad in the same house and that's something I never ever wanted my child to go through. But I refused to be the mother that stayed in a broken marriage.

I knew now what I deserved and it wasn't anyone that did see my worth and found happiness in other women.

"We will be taking off in 2 min please power down your phones as we ---"

As the pilot spoke I turned off my phone and laid back in my chair getting ready to sleep this whole plane ride .
