It's a bestfriend thing

Insecure

Ashlen Pov

Vonte is so in Love with Aaliyah, there is not one thing he won't do for her. They are attached to the hip, wherever he's at she's there just being held, resting her head on his chest.

He cut his hair and got Aaliyah's name tatted on his forearm and Bought her so much unnecessary stuff. She has had the most toys compared to all my kids.

I honestly don't know why he got a house knowing he was gonna be at our house all the time. The kids are getting close to him too, they like his presence here. Stephen at this point doesn't care nor give a fuck that he's here.

I try my best to stay up under him at all times, making it clear I still love him and only want him, but he always gets mad when he sees me talking and laughing with Vonte. But honestly I don't really talk to Vonte as much, he's just there. We're cordial, we act like friends, to me we act like we've never loved each other just like we've just been great friend for a long time.

"I seen your little girlfriend like the pictures of Aaliyah and You, she might want ya back and become a family." I said as him,Aaliyah, Riley, Ashley, and I was in the living room.

"Who?"

"Your girlfriend Syd." I said.

"Nah she crazy, don't need her near Liyah."

"Lmfaoo I was bout to say you need to get back with her , just so I can make her mad. She'll hate how active I'm in your life. I know she was salty when she found out I was having your baby."

"Probably,Oh no I would never, she's crazy." He said.

"How she gon be crazy and not have hands to back it up." I said laughing .

"I don't know, but I don't need her around Liyah."He said as him and her were cheek to cheek.

"Interesting." I said.

"You not looking for a girlfriend?" I asked.

"Not really , I Like how things are now. And I don't want to have to change it. Like what girl would want a nigga who spends majority of his time at his baby mama house?"He said .

"You right, but like you don't have to be here , it's not like the only way you can be with Liyah is if you're at my house, like you can take her home with you."

"Yea, but even though she won't remember this , part of me just want her to be raised with her parents together, not just with one parent at a time. Also I think about how when she starts walking, I want it to be a memory we both saw. Basically just wanting a family." He said.

"I understand." I replied looking at him and Aaliyah looking at each other.

I honestly think Vonte is just really tryna get back with me. Like he still has hope in us getting married, or something.

I don't wanna say nothing cause it could just be what he says, wanting Liyah to experience a family, and I'm just overthinking this.

Stephen walked into the house and the kids greeted him. He just came from practice and dropping SJ and Amari to his parents house. He greeted everyone and headed straight upstairs to the room.

I hopped up to follow him.

He went into the room and I came in with him. "Hey baby I missed you." I said hugging him.

"You sure about that ?" He asked looking at his phone , not hugging me back.

I looked confused at him and said "Yea, why you say that?"

"I texted you and did not get a text back." He said.

"I thought I texted you back, I was the one sitting here waiting on a text back." I said nervously laughing.

He gripped my neck so quickly and tightly. "Ashlen don't try me on that, I thought I text you back and I was waiting for a text back bullshit cause when I don't respond within amount of time, you text me back again."

"But after I texted you I let Ash hold my phone ." I said putting my hands on the hand he had a grip of my neck with.

He roughly let go of me and walked to his side of the bed, to sit and take his shoes off.

I got on the bed with him getting behind him. I started kissing on his neck and jaw. Then tilting his head towards me to kiss his lips. I took his shirt off and continued to kiss him.

"I love you baby ." I said in between our kisses.

"Yea, Ashlen go get me my beer." He said.

I stopped kissing him and said "Say you love me, Stephen ."

"I love you Ashlen, damn. Now can you get my beer." He said sounding frustrated.

"I don't want you drinking no more baby." I said.

"Ashlen get me my beer."

"No Wardell."

He looked back at me and said "Ashlen, I'm not gonna tell you again."

I got up and went to get it. A quick tear escaped while I headed downstairs , but nobody saw.

I got his two beers and headed back to the room.

Handing him the beers, he unzipped his pants, and said "You already know what I want."

So as he drunk his beer I gave him head.

Vonte Pov

It disgusts me, how much Ashlen has changed and how Stephen treats her. I never known her to be an ass kisser, but what is she now an ass kisser. It's like she constantly tries to prove to him, she loves him.

She use to sit on the sofa and that nigga would come to HER and give her a kiss or hug. Now she's the one hopping up to greet him like a damn puppy . Her and Aiden use to make fun of Val and how she was like a puppy. Always at the door waiting for Their dad to come into the house to greet him . Now look at her now. Doing the same thing .

She's doing whatever he says like a slave. She told me, she doesn't like when he drinks . And what is she doing getting him drinks, cause he told her to.

And honestly I'm not saying all this cause I want her back. Like yea I do want her back, but I know she loves and wants to be with Stephen. He's taking advantage of the fact that she doesn't want to leave him . And I don't like it one bit.

When everybody was in bed and before I was about to leave , I spoke with Stephen.

"Man you need to stop treating Ashlen like she your slave or something. She trying everything in her ability to show you she love and only want you, but all you doing is giving her your ass to kiss."

"Nigga don't tell me how to treat my wife, I don't treat her like no damn slave. Ion hear no complaints from her. You stay in your fucking lane and just be there for your daughter. You nothing but Ashlen's baby father and that's all you will be. You better be fucking glad I let you come over here. Cause I'll have you stop coming and you'll only see your daughter on weekends" He said drunkly.

"Now you're getting out of hand nigga, I get it , you fear I'll take Ashlen , I'd fear me too, but I respected you. But now I have no respect for you. You making Ashlen jump hoops for you to prove she only want you. If you was fucking insecure about her and I, you had a fucking chance to leave instead of pretending you was fine with everything and you'll get through this incident. Got Ashlen walking on fucking egg shells for you, trying everything to not tick your insecure ass off. And its sad you let this little incident change you, I've never known you to be such a insecure ass nigga." I said before leaving the house .
