Only Fools Fall For You

Part 2

Yemi Jones

Three more days for my birthday. I looked down at my girls who were playing in the tub. "Mummy, why do you look so sad?" Zamia asked me while playing with the bubbles in her hands. "Mummy's not sad baby, just tired." Zania shook her head. "We know when our mummy is sad." These girls know me too well. "Is it because daddy no kiss you?" Damn, they picked that up? "No baby, it's not that at all."

They both frowned. "Did daddy do something bad?" They both gasped. God they were too smart. "No, I'm just tired, really." But I wasn't lying. I'm tired of the way he was treating me. It's been two weeks and it's been the same. "Okay mummy." I got them out and dried them off. "I'll change them." I looked up to see him. His eyes were locked on mine. "Sure." I stepped away as he past me and I smelt a perfume that was so familiar to me. Where did I smile that before?

I made my way to my room and looked through the dirty clothes to find some of his work clothes. They all smelt the same. His white shirt had lipstick on the collar. My lips got dry, my heart pounding in my chest. Please tell me that he isn't cheating on me. I placed the clothes back before getting into bed. After all the love I gave to him, he would go and do this to me.

Bentley came into the room. "They're sleeping." All I did was nod. "You feeling okay? You look a little sick." Why should he care? All he does is cheat. "I'm fine." I grabbed my blanket and covered myself. "Babe what's wrong?" I felt the bed sink. "You don't love me anymore." Then the water came. "What are you talking about? Of course I love you." I pulled the covers off my face and he looked me dead in my eyes. Guilt trapped in them.

"No you don't, you've been treating me like shit for a while now and you look at me like I don't matter. You won't kiss me anymore." I was so hysterical at the moment. He tried calming me down. "The kids are seeing these things, Bentley! You think they don't but they do!" He covered my mouth. "Relax."

He hugged me close, rubbing my back. "I'm so sorry, baby, I'm really sorry." I wiped my eyes before looking at him. "I'm sorry if I made you feel unwanted or unloved because of my job." I hiccuped. "It's fine, I swear." I held his hand.

"I want you to be honest with me." He nods. I stared right into his eyes. "Are you cheating on me?" Without hesitation. "No I'm not." My shoulders slumped. "Okay." I took my hands out of his and lied down, falling right to sleep.

"I can't do this to her anymore." I heard someone whisper.

"I can't keep sneaking around, I shouldn't have done this in the first place."

"I have a family that show me nothing but love."

I peeked to see Bentley on the phone. He was cheating.

"No, I'm done." He hung the phone up and turned to the bed. I pretended to sleep as he pulled me close to him. I felt sick to my stomach. The man that I loved, was cheating on me. He was dishonest, I felt fresh tears rush down my face thinking about what he's done to this family. I wasn't going to forgive him for this.

I sat in my office when the door opened and in came Yolanda. "Get out." She laughed at me then took her coat off. "You sure about that?" Her body was beautiful, unlike Yemi. She had too much fat and she was heavy, I couldn't move the way I wanted with her. "I know you want me, I know that Yemi can't satisfy you." She clamped my hands around her small, plump ass. "You can have me, I can be yours, I'll treat you like a king. Something she couldn't do."

Her kisses were like venom to me. The more it happened, the less I was aware of what was going on. Next thing I know, she was bent over screaming my name. I remember the first time this happened. Yemi was pregnant with the twins and she was being too emotional. I was stressed and Yolanda was there and after that, we never stopped. Almost 6 years.

"I want her gone, Bentley, you promised." She said, covering herself. "You promised me that I would be your wife and not her. I promise to be a good mother to the twins, I already bathe and change them, I take them to school, I even give them breakfast. They love me." She pointed out. "I love you, Bentley. I want to be with you." She placed a kiss on my lips.

"I love you too, Yolanda." I kissed her. "I'll divorce her, I promise." She smiled and sat on me. "I'll be waiting." She got up and walked out my office and I sat there thinking about what just happened. You did it again Bentley. You hurt her even more. Deep down I know my feelings for Yemi were gone and it was taken over by Yolanda, her best friend.

I still love my girls, don't get me wrong but I don't want to have them grow up in a broken home. I don't want them thinking that it's okay for a guy to cheat on them. I'm the worst person. I have to do it, I can't live like this anymore. I have to tell her. I called my lawyer. 

"I need to get divorce papers by tomorrow." I hung up and got some work done. The kids can get use to not seeing their mother everyday. I'm taking full custody of them. I looked at my wedding ring, sliding it off my finger.

I'll finally have my freedom.
