That night I went back to Liyah house. As soon as I knocked on the door, she
came to the door she just looked at me and I just busted out crying. She held me for a very long time and let me cry. I was exhausted after crying I knew we would talk in the morning so I went into the room where my babies were sleeping. I got in the bed and they instantly snuggled up to me.The next morning I was thankful, Liyah had got the girls up for school and took them. Once she got back I was sitting in the living room. I didn't even hear her come in
"You want some coffee?"
"Yes"
Liyah went to make the coffee while, I stayed in the living room in my thoughts. She came back with coffee and two muffins. Finally getting comfortable she asked, "What happen last night?""I found him cheating at his job, and you want to know with who? Natia."
I looked at Liyah and she looked at angry she was about to say something before I start talking again
"Yup, the infamous Natia do actually know how that feels? How did they even get in touch again? I felt like I really gave up my whole life for this man. I did everything a mother, and a wife supposed to do and that's how I get treated?"
At this point, I was crying again. " I love him and he's all I ever knew, how am I suppose to make this work? I don't even know if I want it too"
Liyah came over and hugged me again.
"I'm sorry this happen to you, and you don't deserve any of this. As a friend you know I will always be there for you but, I can't make decisions for you but I can suggest. Right now though you just need a shoulder to cry on and someone to listen to and I'm here for you. I love you Kayce, you don't deserve this your a wonderful woman, mother, and wife. He's not worthy of you my friend."
"I know, but what am I suppose to do without him?"
"Kayce you're a strong woman we are going to figure this out together."
It's been two weeks that I have been avoiding Jayden. Anytime he wanted to spend time and see the kids he would just go to my parent's house. I still haven't explained to the kid's whats going on, of course, they were asking questions especially Amora.
I was now dropping the girls off at my parent's house because Jay was seeing them today so that gave me time to run to the house and get a few things.
In the midst of packing up somethings, I heard the front door shut. I looked at the clock on the tv stand it was three thirty. Jay was supposed to be with kids right now. Going downstairs it was Jay in the kitchen talking on the phone taking off his tie.
"Yeah, Michael let me give you an update and call back later." Hanging up the phone, and putting it down on the counter he starts taking off his shoes.
"I thought you were supposed to be with the girls right now?"
"I was about to go get them, I'm just running a little late today from work." Looking behind me he saw the bags I had packed in the living room.
"I see you came back to get more, Kayce can we please just talk you been avoiding me for two weeks I miss you, I miss my family baby please come back home."
His voice was breaking with every word he said and my heart started to ache. It feels like it's breaking into pieces everytime I see and think about him.
"You know I can't do that, look at us I don't want the kids to see us like this. Jay, you broke us our bond, our commitment. I'm a broken woman, you broke me what did I ever do to you to hurt me like this?"
He just stood there with tears in his eyes, with nothing to say. I could see the pain in his eyes too but he wasn't hurting like I was.
"Kayce, just come at least, I'll stay in the pool house while you and the girls stay in the main house. I'm not comfortable not knowing where you guys are and if you are safe please just come home."
Wiping the tears from my eyes nodding my head yes "Okay, I'll come home with the girls but this doesn't mean anything will change between us right now."
"Okay, I'm going to get the girls and be right back home."
That night I made dinner, we all sat at the table like a normal family and ate but, Jay and I barely exchanged words and I hardly even looked at him.
While washing the dishes he went to go put the girls to bed. Coming back down the stairs and sitting on the couch waiting for me to finish cleaning he finally said something.
"I think we should go to counseling."
"Well, I don't think we should right now, it's funny how you want to go now but when we lost the baby, you didn't want to go at all. It's not just about you, you're just selfish goodnight."
Checking on the girls, before I went to sleep, my mind was puzzled. He wasn't the person I married eight years ago. So into my thoughts, I didn't even realize I was crying. I felt a pair of arms around my waist pulling me closer, I knew it was Jayden. I didn't fight him, I need this right now.
