Julius dropped me off at home. I was sleepy from my long night with him. I went straight upstairs to take a warm shower. I placed my night gown on and put my phone on the charger. As I laid under the warm comfort of my blankets. I checked my phone for text messages. Trisha had replied to my text with an okay. Robert had left one that said:
"I have no clue where the fuck you are? But, I have been trying to reach you all night. I'm here at the emergency room with our son. He's sick really bad. He has pnemonia and an ear infection. I can't believe partying is more important than you son! What kind of mother are you?!"
I jumped out of bed and got dressed. I put my phone in my purse and ran downstairs. I always try to answer my phone. I felt so stupid! I arrived to the hospital and parked my car. I seen Robert standing by his car smoking a cigarette. That's new. I get out and walked over to him. Our eyes met for a slit second until I broke it. He flick his cigarette on the side walk and folded his arms in front of him.
"It is nine thirty in the morning. You were suppose to be here four hours ago. I woke to him screaming because his left ear hurt. I check his forhead and it was burning up!" he barked in frustration. "I don't need a fucking lecture from you. My phone died last night I guess." I replied. "You guess?! Where the hell were you? Oh wait, I know where! Out drinking and partying the entire night away!" "Shut up, Bobby! What I do in my life is none of your damn business!" "When it deals with my son having his mother around. Even if he's laying sick in the bed. Yes, it's my fucking business. Your son should matter more than a club!" "Bobby, please just take me to my son! I don't feel like arguing with you right now!"
He scoffed at me and walks off toward the hospital. I followed him to Preston's room. I sat down on the chair next to the bed taking his little hand into mine. He was asleep. "Mommy's here baby. I'm sorry for not being here earlier. It was a stupid move. I'm here now and that's all that matter." I glared in Robert's direction as he just rolled his eyes at me. I kept telling myself to just deal with him. Pretend he's not there.
My phone vibrated and read the text message. It was Julius asking how I was and if I wanted to join him for dinner. I text him back denying the invitation and explained why I couldn't. I glanced over at Robert who was sleeping on the chair. I let out a sigh watching him. Why do I hate him so? He's been there for me since we've met. I still don't understand anymore.
There came a knock on the door and in came Julius. Shit! He held a teddy bear and balloon in hand. "Thought I come by and check on your son. Got him a teddy bear to hug on." he whispered. I got up and stood in front of him. "That's sweet of you." I replied. Then Robert wakes up rubbing his eyes. He looks up to see Julius. His jaw clenched up as he stood up. Fabulous timing. "Cece, who's this?" he asked. Before I could answer him Julius held his hand out to shake his hand. "Julius Savor, nice to meet you." Robert refused to shake his hand and continued glaring. "I asked her not you." "Robert stop it!" I snapped he shook his head and went to sit on the chair next to Preston.
I look up at Julius giving him a weak smile. "I'll just leave this with you. Hope the little guy gets better. Call me if you need anything." I take the teddy bear and balloon from him. "Thanks I appreciate it." He smiled at me kissed my cheek. I blushed awkwardly at him. I watched him leave the room. I placed the teddy bear next to Preston. "Moving on so quick. How am I not suprised?" said Robert sarcastically. "Don't start your shit. He's just a friend." "So were we. He must of been the guy you were busy with last night. Explains why you never answered my hundred calls." "We didn't fuck if that's what your thinking!" "How would I know?! You never answered your phone. Must have been breaking it in." "Oh my God shut up already! I get it!" "Sure as hell don't seem that way." "For God sakes shut up!"
I walked out of the room and down the hallway. I can hear Robert footsteps behind me. He grabbed me by my arm. I yanked from him folding my arms in front of me. "Look hun I'm sorry. I don't mean to upset you. I just hate seeing you with someone else." said Robert softly to me. "Get use to it. We're finished. I'm allowed to be with whoever I want. Same for you. Go find a woman who can care for you like you deserve." I replied. "I have somebody I want. It's you. I miss you like crazy. I love you, Cece." "Too late for that now. I don't love you anymore." "But-," "But nothing. There is no more us. Just let it go move on."
I watched his head sunk down as a tear fell from his cheek. I moved past him and back to Preston's room. There's no more hope for us anymore. I hated him. Preston wakes up just to hug the teddy bear. I smiled to myself stroking his for forehead gently. "I hope you get better sweetheart. Mommy misses you being happy. Once you get cured I'm going to buy you the biggest ice cream cone. I love you." I whispered. My poor baby sick with pnemonia. I hate seeing him weak and in pain. Robert comes in taking a seat in the chair. He gave me a weak smile and turned from me to watch TV. I do want him to move on. That way he can leave me alone for who I hook up with. I like Julius.
***Will Robert ever let go? Is Cece being inconsiderate to his feeling? Vote and comment please. New Update soon***
