The Love Lost Within

Get It Together

Faith POV *Five Months Later* (February)

Today is me and Jacob's anniversary and I am waiting for him to get home. I have a special night planned for us, I'm gonna cook up his favorite meal. I shipped the children off to Jacob's parents for the weekend because I have been stressing from left to right and I just need to spend some time with my man. I'm so happy, he got out of the game five months ago and now he has a business proposition with Tyler to help start him and Tony's firm. I can't wait for my man to walk into the house. I put on some black and red lingerie with some red stilettos, Jacob has no idea of what he's gonna see when he gets here. It's only right for me to set the mood, and since Jacob has an old soul, I decided to play some music that I know would put him in the mood and then I poured myself a little Bacardi but not too much. After what seemed to be twenty minutes, I finally heard Jacob come into the house. He came into the living room and seen all the candles lit and he looked at me and said "Ummm what is all this for?" I looked at him confused "Im sure you didn't forget that today was our anniversary did you?" I asked "Ohhhhh, I uhh, of course I didn't forget baby" he said looking around avoiding my eyes "Jay how could you forget about today, you damn near would have forgot my birthday too if I wouldn't have said it" I said "Oh shit, see the months are flying by so fast that I just didn't keep track of the days" he said walking towards the bedroom. I can't believe that he forgot our anniversary and practically my birthday too. As I was in the living room I heard his phone go off and it was a message from one of his trap guys asking about the next drop. So not only did he forget about today and tomorrow, he also lied to me about leaving the game. Ughhhhh it's so many things that I let him get away with, but this is just ridiculous. I sat on the couch thinking of how I was going to approach him or if I should even approach him at all and just let it be. Maybe im just over reacting, whatever it is im just not gonna nag him about it.

Jacob POV

I kind of lied to Faith about leaving the game but I just didn't want her to be so worried about me. Today when I walked in the house, I had no idea that today was our anniversary, I just thought it was another day and that she was trying to get my attention. Damn it, now I gotta find a way to get out of this, I know that she is mad as hell right now and, oh shit I left my phone in there with her. I walked out of the bedroom and came into the living room and seen her dumping my favorite food into the trash and then she started blowing out the candles. I didn't know what to do, should I go hold her and tell her that I'm sorry but what if she doesn't want me to touch her right now. I walked over to her "Fay, can we talk for a min-" "Jay, I really don't have anything to say to you right now, and I really don't want to hear you say anything to me right now, when you done lying to me and forgetting about me then you can speak to me but as of right now I really need you to just go" she said cutting me off I can't stand to see my baby mad at me I really gotta fix this, but how do I get up from here "Fay I'm sorry" I said "Just take your sorry ass out of here right now, go to Tony's house or whatever you need to do but right now, just leave me alone and don't come near me" she said. I must be the dumbest man alive, Faith is the best thing that ever happened to me and I don't want to lose her. I'm gonna see if I can go to Tony and Tyler's house for a couple of days. After packing a few bags I took one last look at Faith sitting on the couch, she completely ignored me standing there and I could tell that she was crying I walked out of the house regretting how I've been treating her lately. I called Tony up and he sent Tyler over to Faith so that it could just be me and him talking. "Bro how the hell you forget that today was yall anniversary, and her birthday tomorrow fam and on top of that you lied to her" he said "I wasn't keeping track of the days and it slipped my mind and because I was tired of her worrying" I said "You know what, Im not even go bash you cuz that's what Tyler gone do, but all ima say is that you need to fix this and FAST" he said sitting on the couch "I know I gotta fix it, and I know im finna catch a strong case of hell right now but I don't know how to fix this" I said hanging my head down "Bro, I can't tell you what to do but whatever you do make sure it comes from the heart" he said. As we continued talking all I could do was sit down and think of what could possibly be going through Faith's mind right now.
