No Pain No Gain

Autumn
I swayed my hips the the music that played through the speakers. my favorite song Folding Clothes by J Cole blasted loudly through my living room. Me Ryan and my mother in law were in the kitchen cooking while the guys where outside grilling.

A hour later all the food was done and the guests started to roll in. I took a seat under the umbrella table that we had set up outside.

You need anymore water Marcus asked

Nah babe I'm fine thanks for asking I told him

He nodded his head before leaning in to kiss my forehead.

Ryan sat next to me crushing her plate of food I could tell when Ryan was nervous about something because she constantly ate her problems Away.

I watched as Marcus came back to sit next to me with a cold beer in his hand. We both eyed Dre, he was talking to a slim women in the corner. Her skin was a almond color and flawless. You could tell she took really good care of herself. She didn't seem to materialist like Ryan either. She had on a simple dress from fashion nova and some chunky heels that complimented the dress. I also noticed her clutch which was from Aldo, I always caught myself buying clutches From that store, meanwhile Ryan kept it upscale nothing under 500 dollars could hang off her shoulders.

I turned to look at Ryan, I noticed how uncomfortable she looked. She told me her and Dre we're working on things but he still didn't trust her and for that reason he did things to upset her. Ryan is normally the type to go all out and make a scene but  she feels like this is what she deserves which is why she haven't yet.

I watched Dre talk to toya the same way he use to talk to me. I went to her job and had a talk with her. I left looking dumb, she told me she was married and would never take those steps with Dre. I'm jealous that Dre seems to be opening up to her. Normally when Dre would vent to me when he comes home from a bad day of work. Yesterday was different instead of coming home to me to vent about his day. He called to tell me he was going to hang out with toya and her husband. If it was a couple event why wasn't I invited ? Ohh I know why because Dre doesn't want me anymore.

Dre your so funny, I would of never thought of that toya giggled. I mugged the site of them, my mouth dropped at the site of seeing him bring her a plate and drink. He has not once spoke to me since we been here and we came together. When we're home alone at night he finds in way climbing in bed next to to have sex. I'm so over it...

I got up from the table trying to hold back the tears but they found their way to escape from my eyes. I ran into the house and made my way into the bathroom. I broke down crying pleading to god how I learned from my mistake.

I don't want to be punish anymore god, just please stop the hurt and pain I begged.

I heard a knock on the door before the person behind the door twisted the door knob to enter...

Dre what do you want I said sniffing

Why are you crying baby he said

I chuckled oh now I'm your baby.. you haven't said one word to me since we got here. Your constantly embarrassing me talking to her in front of me like we're not married. I know I fucked up but I've been trying to show you a difference ever since I sobbed
