Aries gave birth to her beautiful baby boy, Maurice. But is forced to deal with the responsibility of taking care of her child as well as her sister due to the sickness of their mother, She finds herself back in the strip club grinding for a reason...
Aries POV "Algee baby stop" I giggled as we kept kissing on my neck in the Uber.
"I can't help It baby. Now that I had you all to myself for a week. I don't know how I'm gonna go back to working long hours" he pouted as we arrived at his house where I left my car.
"Well now It gives you something to think about during those long hours" I grip his shirt after putting my luggage into my trunk. He bites his lip.
"Definitely. Make sure you call me when you get home. Let me nap before I gotta go to work" he sighs. He grabs my waist kissing me then squeezes my butt causing me to giggle.
"Boy bye. Go rest. I'll talk to you later" I say before I hop in my car starting my journey to Chris apartment.
As I arrived I saw him and his girl arguing in the hallway , I decided to stay a reasonable distance so I wasn't in the middle.
"You think I'm cheating on you Leyna really? I've been doing nothing but waiting for you to call or text me or come over. I always invite you out with my son. Now you think I'm cheating on you because I don't wanna have sex cause I said work been busting my ass" he yells as she walks to the stairs that lead to the garage. I instantly bit my lip as the memories fluttered back
"Whatever Chris. You gonna sit here and lie. I don't got time for games. I've been working real hard lately and all I asked was to come home and be sexually pleased as well as pleasing ya ass" she yells.
I see Maurice walk to the front door rubbing his eyes so I walk over and pick him up. I rocked him to sleep while waiting at the door way. They argue for a little longer then she just left and Chris came to the door huffing. He walked in and held the door open so I could walk in. Then slammed It. It was awkward as hell.
"He's sleep?" All you could hear was his light snores and Chris heavy breathing I simply nodded.
"Put him in his room and meet me in mine" he said before disappearing into the kitchen.
I walk to the back where Maurice room was located and tucked him in. I kissed his forehead and proceed to Chris room. When I got there he was laying back on the edge of the bed with a bottle of wine and two glasses on the table. I cleared my throat causing him to jump up.
"Sorry I didn't know you came in here. You still like red right ?" He says popping open the bottle and pouring the wine into the glass.
I slightly smile knowing he remembers. It surprised me almost that after not seeing him for so long that he knows little details. He poured his own glass and handed me mine. He grabbed a blanket from his closet and laid It on top of his chestnut carpet. He placed down the wine bottle and sat leaving his hand out to help me sit. I took off my shoes and cardigan.

I watched Chris examine my body but I just looked down at my glass then back up.
"So how was your vacation. Or should I say baecation?" He asked with a hint of jealousy causing me to smirk a little.
"It was good. Got to enjoy my time finally and I've never been to Jamaica so that was new. But he still found a way to bring work with him" I say rolling my eyes then taking a sip of my drink shrugging.
"How was your week with Mau?" He smiles after drinking from his glass.
"It was great. I wish I was with him like that all the time. He's a great kid. You did a great job" he says smiling then he kind of sighs playing with his rim.
"Aries can we talk about what happened? And why I disappeared?" He asked with glossy, pleading eyes. I sighed and nodded. I started to get a little uncomfortable and sensitive.
"That day you went to the hospital and your mom yelled at me in the waiting room. When I went to the parking lot I was kidnapped" he said looking down. I shook my head in disbelief. He looked up and saw the doubt. He grabbed my hand almost instantly and put It to rub his head and neck
"What are you doing Christopher?" He put a little bit more pressure on my hand to feel something that felt like an indent in his head and a scar on his neck. I was a little shook.
"Where'd they t-t-take you?" I asked nervously
"Georgia where they beat me damn near to death and left me for dead. Lucky they left me in an ally and someone came to help me. I had to live in a shelter for a little while. Then got a job so I can leave and eat. Then two years later here I am. The only reason I'm here was because I couldn't stop thinking about you and our baby. I let you down when I didn't want to. But I owed it to you and myself to make it back and make changes" He said smiling weakly. I was holding back tears that threatened to fall
"I'm so sorry I left you alone for those two years but I didn't want to. I'm sorry I ever hurt you baby and that I didn't cherish you for the Queen that you are as much as I should have" he caressed my face looking straight in my eyes.
In that moment, I knew It was beyond still loving him. I was in love with him all over again. He leaned in to kiss me and at first while lost in thought I kissed back. He rubbed his hand down my neck to my hand but pulled away when he felt the metal around my finger. He pulled away and looked down. The whole world froze. He stood silent then spoke quietly.
"He asked you to marry him? And you said yes?" He was still looking down at the ring. Tears slowly ran down my face.
"C-Chris I -I'm-"
"Get out" he said calmly
"W-what" he snatched his hands away and stood up throwing his glass at the wall.
"GET OUT!" He yelled breathing heavy. Looking at me with so much hurt and hatred.
"You fucking say you love me still. You complain this nigga work to much. I'd drop this girl for you in a heart beat. Now ya go on a little dumbass vacation and he asks you to marry him and you fucking say yes. So much for still loving me. Yeah sure you do. Guess we even now huh. Don't even talk to me unless it has to do with Maurice. I'll drop him tomorrow. Get out my fucking house" he spat with so much hurt and tears on his face.
I grabbed my shoes and cardigan just running out bawling in my car. I hit my steering wheel so hard and just cried my eyes out.
That was the last I saw of Chris unless It came down to Maurice. No late night text. No calls. No drinks. No dinner. No nothing. I knew It was over forever.
