Sized Up

Chapter 8

Danyella

"Not only is he cheating, but he has a new baby momma.. Rodkevious Mitchell was blasted weeks ago about his affair. But news gets worse when his alleged mistress opens up about her pregnancy and guess who's the father..."

I chuckled as I read the TMZ article. This soon was everywhere. Even media takeout, twitter, Instagram, you name it. It was bond to get to Janelle, and I can't wait until she sees it. That'll show that hoe not to fuck with me. I laughed even harder at Janelles' picture on the side of mine. Things are going to get a little rocky around here, and I don't even care I'm prepared for the worse.

I was startled by a loud knock on my front door. I smirked knowing who it may probably be. I looked through the peep whole and saw an angry Rodkevious standing on my front porch. I opened the door and let him storm in.

"Are you crazy? Pregnant? With my child? No, I know that's a lie". He said through tight lips. I just laughed. "You think this is funny? You really do huh? What do you want from me Danyella? Huh? I just wanna be back at home with my wife and you won't let me live. And now this? This lie you've created to ruin me more than I've already ruined myself". He stated.

"Well you should've thought about that before you decided to come and fuck me in my house". I admitted.

"That was a mistake"! He yelled.

"Oh really? Mistake...? Well "mr. Mistake" you've earned yourself another mistake. Oh and tell Janelle I said hi, oh yeah, she might want to stay away from all social media. I'd hate for her to read this unbarring news, I hope she has fun playing step mother".I said chuckling.

"You want money? You want attention? What you want? Huh Danyella? Well you not gone get shit from me and you can believe that shit". He said pointing in my direction. I laughed. "We'll see". He laughed even harder and walked out. If he wants war, than he got it.

Janelle

I've been receiving links all morning telling me to check out this article from TMZ. Honestly I don't have the strength to open up another messy tabloid. I just want to sleep. I feel like life is getting worse and worse for me. I'm depressed, I haven't ate anything I miss Rod but I'm so hurt I don't want to see him. I hear someone knock on the door. "Come in" I said faintly.

"Hungry baby"?My mother asked. I shook my head 'no'. She sighed. "Janelle, sit up". She instructed. I stayed still and took a deep breath. "Sit up Janelle dammit"! She urged raising her voice a bit. I could hear the frustration in her voice. "Yes"? I questioned. "Look now, I love you and I know you're upset and maybe even frustrated. But you just can't keep laying around being depressed. Marriage is hard, mistakes will be made; obviously Rod made a huge mistake but he's still your husband. You all need to talk. I refuse for you to sit in this room and abandoned your responsibilities". She said.

"How am I supposed to talk to him ma? Huh? He cheated on me and I've been receiving links all damn day about reading some more bullshit he did, I don't even wanna open it because if o read something else I might just die. I gave him all of me. Was I not enough? I gave him a daughter that probably loves him more than I do, and now he just ups and cheats on me". I said through tears. She rubbed my leg in comforting circles. "Baby, talk to him". She urged again.

I shook my head and laid down again. I heard Italy cry and sighed. "That's why you need to talk to him. Think about what's good for Italy". She said. I wiped my tears and sat up.

I picked up Italy and smiled. I kissed her jaw and told her I loved her. I got dressed and dressed her to. I had to take my mothers advice. Although it'll be hard, I have to talk to Rod. I grabbed the keys and carried Italy to the car strapping her in her car seat. I sighed as I crank up the car. "Here we go". I said.

Rodkevious

Sitting on the couch starting at the ceiling, I thought about Janelle. Damn where did I go wrong? Wishing I could do anything to get her back. The doorbell rang and I forced myself to face reality. I opened the door and saw her standing there. "Hi". She dryly said. Her eyes were blood shot red, they were thick and puffy. I could tell she's been crying all night. I never meant to make Janelle cry I wish j could take this all back. She looked like she hadn't had sleep in weeks. I widened the door so she could step in. I took Italy from her arms and kissed her small jaw. I loved that little girl more than anything and now I have to pay for what I did, and I hope she forgives me.

"Hey baby". I said to her as she took a seat on the sofa. "Hi Rod". She said back refusing eye contact. "You look beautiful". I complimented. She scoffed looking away. I saw the build up of tears in her eyes that she tried to hold back. "Janelle, please believe me I never meant for any of this to happen baby, I never want to make you cry". I assured her. "Well you know what Rod, it did happen! And you know what else, I am crying! That's all I do now! I don't eat, I don't sleep, nothing. Just cry. I miss you but you hurt me so bad I can't trust you. My phones been blowing up all day about you. Link after link after link, I don't even have the strength to open one fearing what else the love of my life has done only to kill me a little more inside. Bug you never meant to make me cry right? But you never meant to hurt me right? Well good job Rod because you did". She said getting up.

"Janelle" I started to say, my voice cracking from upcoming tears. "I'm not gone let you leave me again". I said. "You hurt me Rod". She said beginning to cry even harder. I placed Italy down on the sofa, and brought Janelle in for a hug.  She cried her eyes out on my chest. She mumbled indescribable words into my shirt. "Janelle I love you and I'm sorry". I told her, wiping her tears with my thumb. I picked up her face by her chin and kissed her lips gently. "I love you Janelle". I spoke the words and I meant them, even more than the first time I said it.
