Brielle POV

"Chris?" I questioned going downstairs to see Chris working in the studio he had installed. He claimed it was so he could be home with us more, but it was starting to get annoying.

I looked around in amazement seeing how he managed to bring what looked like his entire closet and the kitchen down here.

Grabbing a couple of trash bags from the kitchen I went back down and began cleaning up the mess.

"You don't have to do that," he said making me stop what I was doing.

"If I don't then who will?" I questioned he knew good a damn well he wouldn't. He didn't give a smart reply he just continued working.

Honestly he had been giving me the cold shoulder for about a week now. I raked my brain trying to think of anything I could have possibly done but got nothing.

I knew he was probably tired of me giving him mixed signals, but I didn't want to get sucked back in only for him to hurt me again.

But I do see the change and him actually trying so I can't completely fault him. I know he has needs and him going without for this long I know he was hurting, well far as I know he was.

I can't fully trust him and give him my all but I'm honestly working on it . I always have doubts and with us being together going on four years and him cheating every year out of the four it really broke me.

I wanted to show him that I wasn't the same weak female he once knew. I had changed and I didn't have time to be dealing with the same empty promises.

But at the same time I knew he wouldn't wait forever and we'd be right back in the same boat.

I continued to clean the room until it was almost perfect before going back up stairs to check on the kids.

They were both still taking a nap before our play date with Chyna. Chyna had become one of my closest friend over the pass years.

She wasn't as bad as Honey and Heather had made her out to be. Speaking of those two, I hadn't heard anything from then since my baby shower.

It seems like when new incidents of Chris cheating resurfaced they disappeared. Making quesadillas if they knew the entire time and were just being fake.

Breaking out of my thoughts I went back down to the studio to see if there was anything Chris needed.

"Chris?" I asked again, but this time he turned to me giving me an emotionless stare.

"Do you want anything to eat?" I asked making him nod in response and turn back around.

He really knew how to piss me off. "Grilled cheese? Chicken? What?" I questioned angrily putting my hands on my hips.

"Whatever is cool." Was all he said making me stare at the back of his head. I know he couldn't be that mad at me for being distant.

I huffed up the stairs once again before heading for the kitchen to see what to make.

I decided on chicken tenders and fries. Seeing as though me and the kids would be getting ready to leave in an hour there was no reason to make a full spread.

After making his plate I went downstairs and took it to him.

"Here," was all said holding the plate out for him to take. He stopped playing with the beat he was making and reached out and grabbed the plate with a certain glint in his eyes as he looked at me.

I went to pull away, but he pulled me into him and made me sit in his lap facing him. I was honestly confused and tired of his bipolar attitude.

"Thank you," he said kissing the side of my face and trailing them downward. I rolled my eyes when I felt him kiss my spot on my neck.

I sat back to look at him and all he did was smirk and sit the plate on the counter behind me.

"We need to talk." I said making a look of wary cross his face.

"Whats up?" He questioned. I inhaled deeply before getting ready to do something I've never done.

" I'm sorry for how I've been acting towards you and you know you are my world Chris. I love you so much and I just want us to workout, but I'm scared." I said on the verge of tears.

"Scared of what?" He questioned rubbing his hand oh my thighs in a soothing manner.

"I'm scared of you, more so what your capable of doing to me." I said and he just looked at me for me to elaborate more."I just don't want you to hurt me. I'm in so deep with you and I just can't fanthom you doing anything else to me." I said in full blown sob now.

"I want hurt you baby, I promise. That Old Chris is gone baby, you and the kids are my life and I've learned to not do anything to jeopardize that. I just want you to forgive me so we can move forward with our lives." He said while wiping the tears that were falling.

"I forgive you." I said barely above a whisper. "What did you say?" He questioned trying to he funny. "I said I forgive you Chris." I said making the both of us smile.

"I'd never thought I'd see the day Mrs.Brielle La'shay Brown would apologize and forgive me. I must be near death cause these two things happening at the same time." He said touching his heart dramatically.

"It won't happen ever again, so don't get use to it." I said crossing my arms under my chest which made his eyes drop instantly.

"No more sleeping in separate rooms?" He questioned making me shake my head. "No more cold showers? No more cold lonely nights? No more making me leave when you get dressed?" He asked making me crack up at every question.

"No Chris none of that," I said after my laughter died down.

"Good, I had to make sure. I missed y'all." He said before placing his face in between my breast.

I shook my head and got up from my seat. "Where you going?" He asked looking at me like I was crazy. "Play date with Chyna." I said heading for the stairs.

"Damn well we can makeup the right way when you get home. Get over here and give me some lips you know better." He said making me laugh at his attempt to be assertive.

I walked back over and bent down and pecked his lips twice, but on the third Chris got carried away by adding tongue and pulling me back onto his lap.

"Damn," was all said after pulling away from the kiss. "Shit, you telling me its been a lot of cold showers." He said making me frown in disgust.

"I love you baby mama." He said pecking my lips again. "I love you too." I said pecking his in return.

In this moment the only thing that mattered was us, and I couldn't wait for the great things to come.
