It's Always Been You (sequal to It's Gotta Be You)

Chapter 25 Feeling Some Type of Way

~A Month Later~

Ciara

Well everything is really normal around here. God forbid that it should ever be quiet but I guess I can't complain because me and my family are happy.

Anyway Roc and Prince got out of the hospital and are doing better. Prince explained everything to Neicey but she said she still needed time before she could except his apology and she needed space.

She wasn't kidding when she said space either. She moved back to Detroit and started going to college there. I feel so sorry for Prince. He's been spending a lot of time with me but that's mostly because of Lara of course.

Jamila moved back to Detroit too but Jamie stayed here to raise her family with Prod because he didn't want to move to Detroit and Let's just say it was a argument off the bat and he got his way.

But right now me and Prince are planning this wedding together and don't tell him this but I think he's feeling some type of way about himself if you're not slow you catch my drift. If you are then think harder or suffer.

Anyway he's been helping me and that's what we're doing right now. The wedding. While Roc is.......*looks around* I don't know now that I come to think about it. Maybe he's out with Ray planning his bachelor party.

Oh and we set the date June 25th. You know most people want summer weddings well that's when I want mine Lol.

Me:So Prince be honest

He looked at me.

Me:Why are you here helping me plan my wedding when my mother could be or Jamie?

Prince:I don't have anything better to do and my daughter is here so I just thought I could help you out

Me:Are you feeling some type of way Princeton?

He giggled like something was funny but I was serious.

Prince:Naw Ciara. I wouldn't do that to you or Roc. It's just ever since I got out of the hospital, none of boys wanted to hang with me because of what I did. Roc is being forced to let me go to his bachelor party for you. He don't care if I'm there. You see him, Ray, and Prod are out planning right now. All of us were suppose to be his best men and now I'm not

He looked down and sighed. I feel like he's gonna cry but I know he doesn't want to.

Me:How about this? I'll talk to him and get this all straightened out

Prince:Naw. I know when I'm not wanted Ciara.

At that moment the door opened and in came Roc, Ray, and Prod laughing and having a good time until they saw Prince.

Prince:And that time is now

He got up and kissed Lara on her forehead then left.

I put my iPad down and sighed heavily.

Ray:Well we'll see y'all later

Ray and Prod ran out of here, leaving me to deal with Roc. Which I decided not to do because I didn't feel like arguing.

Roc:So what was all that?

Me:All of what?

Roc:Prince running out of here like that. What was that?

Me:Him knowing when he's not wanted

Roc:By you?

Me:By you and the boys

Roc:Who said we didn't want him?

Me:Your actions speak loud and clear sweetheart. He's suppose to be helping you with you bachelor party but you didn't even invite him. He's suppose to be your best man but he doesn't even know if he's coming to the wedding

Roc:He was invited wasn't he?

Me:Its not a matter of invitation. Its a matter of whether you want him there or not

Roc:Didn't you invite him? Don't you want him there?

Me:Doesn't matter what I want. It matters about what you want. He said he wouldn't go if you don't want him there

Roc:Ciara you don't understand. Every time I look at him, I'm ready to kill him. I go back to what did every time I look at him and I'm ready to let loose it

Me:He didn't want to do any of that

Roc:But he did! He did it all when there was so many ways that that could've been avoided!

Me:No it couldn't have Roc! The person you should be mad at is the one who took our children, who shot you, and stabbed Prince because of one little mistake that happened when we were 15! You decide to take your anger out on the puppet that was young and naive and didn't want anything to happen to the one he loves, so tell me Roc Royal what would you have done for me? Seeing as Prince did such a bad thing; what would you have done? Gone off and had sex with some girl because you're not that great under pressure as proven twice in our relationship. So before you go off about Prince, think about what you would've done for me

And with that thought in mind; I got up and walked upstairs, to my room, shut the door, and laid down on the bed. The nerve he fucking has.
