S.E.A.L IV: All I Need

Chapter 14

~Nia~

What do you think of this dress? It's okay! Nia what's the matter with you every dress we've looked at has been just okay. I am just a little stressed Dee Dee. Why I thought everything between you and Charli was good. It's something of the sort, I don't know its just lately we've been fighting way more than usual, and I think he's cheating on me. Cheating they both said looking at me? The other night he doesn't come home, like at all. So, I call him...20 times and he doesn't answer. Oh no Dee Dee said shaking her head. Where was he at my mom said. He was at the studio like he said he was but when I went to confront him, and he had lipstick on his neck. I am calling Theodore right now. No Dee Dee. No, he obviously lost his damn mind. I saw the footage he was where he said he was the entire night. How did the lipstick end up on him then? I don't know but there is this artist he's working with that I don't like. I've never even met her in person I just know that there is something not right about her and her motives.

What did your Ace think? Check this out, she went to the studio that day and I could tell by her demeanor in the video's she didn't like the girl. That's Jay for you, she know a hoe when she see's one. Look Nia that's your husband and we can't tell you what to do but if you have a feeling that something isn't right act on it, but if you trust him and his word then let it go, don't forget about it, but don't let it plaque you either. I trust Charli and he's never lied to me. Then there you have it. Now back to the pressing subject of finding this dress for your anniversary. It's in three weeks I could have easily found it the week of. No ma'am you couldn't have and furthermore

I am surprised Jay didn't offer to make it for you. You know she did and Ti cut her off she was already trying to pay for the venue and catering. That girl is too much. Trust me I know, TI was like "Jay no we aren't paying for anything else we still got kids at home to take care of". That ain't stop her did it, Dee Dee said laughing. Nope flowers and entertainment is already taken care of. Is there anything left for me and your father to take care of at least? Actually, yes there is, since dad didn't get to walk me down the isle the first time I was wondering if yall wanted to do it this time. Really you want us to walk you down the aisle? Yeah, I mean I don't know what a vow renewal is supposed to be like, but I want you and daddy to have a role in it. Aww baby she said hugging me. Oh lawd, you gon make her all mushy and shit. Shut up Deandria this is my baby. Don't we all know it, you don't let anyone forget it. Lets get this dress please I got kids at home to feed as well she said.

After shopping for a dress, I finally found one that I really liked, now all I needed was the shoes and I'd be set. Before we celebrate our wedding anniversary, we have the issue, well not the issue but the celebration of Terrance's 18th birthday. With him turning 18 that gives him legal guardianship of his siblings, it also gives him the ability to move out on his own as well. Me personally I don't think he can be responsible for all the kids and further I don't even know if he can handle them alone in a household by their selves. I haven't talked to Charli about it because we been in that awkward space. And awkward spaces mean no talking and definitely no sexing either.

I pulled up in the drive way to see that Charli's car in the drive way. I got the dress and my purse before going in to see Charli and the kids in living room. Mommy! Hey baby I said kissing Desi. Hey Mom! Hey boy I said kissing his forehead. Hey kids I said greeting the rest of the kids. Hi Ms. Nia. Hey babe I said pecking his lips. One more he said pulling me down to him. Mmm you find a dress? Yeah, I did. You get an outfit yet? You know ya boy clean up right for you. Oh yeah. Yeah, he said smiling. Where is Terrance? With Phil he came and got him earlier they been gone for a minute. Oh okay, well I am gonna go put this up and then we can get figure out what we're gonna do for dinner. Alright he said smiling a little.

I went up to our room to put the dress away before I heard my phone buzzing. Who is this calling me I am already at home and I ain't leaving for the rest of the night? I looked the number before realizing it was Javon. Hey! Hey how are you? I am good, I walked to the living room today. Really! Yup and my physical trainer was surprised at my improvement. When you have a good nurse, you tend to heal faster. Right you are an awesome nurse. Don't blow my head up with all the compliments. It's true you are an awesome nurse and woman in general. Mhmp thanks, have you been to see the counselor yet? Yeah, I went today, and he's cool very quiet and observant. He's a counselor ain't he gon be the life of the party. I know I was just expecting someone a little more you know. You're seeing him in the professional aspect and not in the personal aspect. He's nice and he knows his craft and that's helping individuals to deal with their issues. I guess. You still good on medication though. I have the two you left and a half of one before that. I am working through the pain and it doesn't really hurt as much when I ice it. That's the right thing and when it hurts too bad you just need to elevate it and rest. I got it doc, he said laughing. I need to ask you something. Sure, go ahead I said as I picked up stuff around the room. The other day when you were here, I sense that there was something going on between us.
