OK Now girl why you playing like that?

But you girl; what I prefer

Skyler

I'm sitting in our room waiting for dumb ass to get back home. I know I was wrong as hell but he started it. Torian is my gay friend from college anyway. I had to pay him to do that. He was afraid of King for one but his biggest fear was vagina. He didn't even feel right about being around a naked woman, let alone sticking his finger in a vagina. I know I have explaining to do but he pissed me off so I had to get him back. I just wanted to see King hurt. I knew he was coming home. When I saw him pull up is when I got naked and turned the music on. I was just patiently waiting around.

The kids walk in. "Hey mommy." Devin says, smiling. I pick him up. "Hey baby boy. Hey Dj and Lani." I say. "Where's daddy? I wanna watch Handy Mandy with him." Devin says, playing with my earring. "Yeah, where he at? I'm mad at him." Dj says. "Me too." LanI adds. "Yall have to forgive him. Daddy loves yall, ok?" I ask. "Well why he don't play with us or come home no more? My best friend said his daddy left his momma and didn't come back. Is daddy leaving us forever?" Lani asks. "That aint love. You have fun with people you love." Dj says. My eyes tear up. Wow. Here I am, dealing with trying to explain they daddy is a dumb ass. I feel like a single mother all over again. "Daddy love us!" Devin exclaims, laughing without a care in the world. Devin is only four years old and barely has memories with his so called daddy. "Yall, daddy loves yall. He's working." I lie. "He always work. Mommy, why you and daddy always scream at eachother?" Lani asks. "Sometimes I make daddy mad and sometimes he makes me mad. It's normal. We love each other very much. He'll be home when yall wake up." I say. "You promise?" Lani asks. I nod my head. Dang, I hope I can keep that one.

I put the kids to bed two hours ago. It's twelve am and he still ain't home. I walk down to our bar and grab a wine glass then grab the bottle of pineapple coconut rum and pour a glass. I sit the bottle down on the counter then slowly sip my rum. My eyes tear up. I love King with every part of me. He's all I have and he was the only one there when my life was a wreck. We've been through way too much to just throw it all away. He hurt me but I still care. I miss him. I miss the old us so much. I grab my glass and walk back up the stairs. I sit on our bed and sit my glass on the night stand. I should stop drinking my problems away because that ain't gon' solve them. I sigh and stand. I run my fingers through my hair then walk into the restroom. I grab a wash cloth then step into our huge marble shower after turning the water on piping hot. I stand under the water, getting lost in my thoughts. I miss our kisses, hugs, late night conversations, movie night, family day, making love, and most of all our love. I just pray to God we can fix this. I pray I can forgive him for the things he's been doing behind my back. I squeeze my marshmallow kisses shower gel on my towel and begin to wash myself. Lord please let him come home.

I get out of the shower and dry my body. I lotion up using Marshmallow Kisses then put my gel deodorant under my arms. I walk out into the room and jump. King is sitting on the bed smoking a Swisher. "Where were you?" I ask. He looks at me and takes a puff, eyeing my naked body. The way he's looking at me turns me on like hell but I'm seriously not giving him none after he slept with somebody else and been out doing God knows what. He chuckles with no amusement. "Ain't nothing funny. Delante', I'm getting sick of making excuses and lies to tell the kids when they ask about you. Just please be here when they wake up because I promised." I say. "You slept with a mothafucka where I lay my damn head, Skyler. At least you had the decency to change my sheets." he says. "I didn't sleep with him." I say. "What, I look stupid?" he asks. "King, no, you don't look stupid but you most certainly acting like it." I say. "Let me find out you a hoe again." he says. I grab the remote off the dresser and throw it at his chest. "Skyler, chill." he says. "I put it on my kids' I didn't cheat on you! That nigga is my gay friend I paid to do that! Roll the cameras back! You the only mothafucka out here sleeping around, not me! Now where you been?" I scream. "Watch your mouth. Chill with that hollering and cussing." he says. "No! Answer me." I say. "Naw, you don't want the answer to that." he says. "The heck that supposed to mean?" I ask. "Whatever you want it to." he says. I roll my eyes. "Sleeping with a hoe, I bet." I say. "Naw. I did tho. I ain't even gon' lie to you. I fucked some girl cause what you did." he says. I shake my head. That don't even surprise me. "You raw dog her?" I ask. "Don't worry about it. Just know I did it out of anger and I'm sorry but it is what it is." he says. I shake my head. "Why do I even put up with you?" I ask, opening the drawer. I pull a thong out. I feel his arms around my waist from behind. "Mane, Sky, fuck the past. Let's move on." he says. "That's easy for you to say because you the one in the wrong." I say. He kisses my neck. I feel his hard dick poking my bare ass. "You were too tho." he says. "Whatever." I say. He steps back. I watch him pull his pants and boxers off, unleashing his beast. I chuckle at my thought. I feel him at my entrance. I pull away. "Call your hoe." I say. "Damn, Sky." he says. dumb dick head.
