V i c t o r i a

One Month Later...

"Destiny Veronica King. Get your behind out of this bed." Destiny groaned as the light from the window pierced her eyes. She was finally getting some sleep since Bella had a cold and she was up with her every night this week.

"Leave me alone." She turned her head hiding under the covers. Soon after they were pulled from her body. "Mom!" She shot up from the bed glaring at her mother with her eyes barely open.

"Don't mom me, get up." Victoria opened the rest of the blinds.

It was irritating Destiny that her mother was there. She always wanted to control everything. "Mom why are you here?"

Victoria walked over to her and sat on the bed fixing Destiny's messy hair. "I'm here to make sure you don't make the biggest mistake of your life."

Destiny moved away. "And what would that be mom?" Her mother was only there for a few minutes and she couldn't wait for her to leave.

"Leaving your husband. He's sorry Destiny and he's trying to make it up to you. He calls me every night begging me to talk some sense into you."

Destiny just shook her head at the bullshit that came out of her mother's mouth. "Are you serious right now Victoria?" She looked at her like she could slap her.

"Yes. You should take him back. It's been a month-" Destiny got up from the bed.

"Take him back? Mom, he cheated, with your trick ass niece to make matters worse."

"We all know Natalia was a whore but you can't let one slip up mess up what you have. You're married to one of the best players in the league." Victoria was one for appearances and she appreciated the checks that was sent to her monthly.

Destiny put her hand on her head shocked at her mother, she felt like she could cry. "Oh wow, there it is. Mom it's clear you don't give a shit about me. Once those checks clear it's all good right?" Destiny shook her head. "You no different from the hoes out there in the streets." Destiny spat.

Her mother flew up from the bed and slapped Destiny across her face. Destiny looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Get out." She pointed to the door.

"Destiny-"

"Get out!" She yelled and her mom walked out of the room. Destiny slammed the door and cried into her hands, Her own mother. Bella woke up crying from the commotion and Destiny sighed wiping her eyes and went to get her.

Travis stormed into the locker room knocking over everything in his way. Coach pulled him from the game since he wasn't playing at his best. This thing with Destiny leaving him was getting to him, he couldn't believe she put him out.

He sat on the chair with his head down while the game went on. All he heard after a while was cheers as the players were coming into the locker room. They won the game and Adisa was the MVP since he was the one who saved the game. "Ya Boy was a beast out there man." Jay spoke to Travis while Travis was packing up.

"Whatever." He wanted to be the one on the court winning the game. He got his bag and was heading out when he bumped into Adisa. "Man watch where the fuck you stepping."

"Nigga ain't nobody scared of you. What, you mad that I'm taking over on and off the court." He smirked. "By the way how's your wife?" Travis instantly punched Adisa in the mouth. Before Adisa could retaliate, Jay held him back.

"Stay the fuck away from my wife!" Travis got in his face.

"I'll stay away when she tells me to." Adisa laughed. He hadn't talked to Destiny since the elevator incident but he just loved to see Travis get upset about it.

Travis went to throw another punch but Tyrell and Jay stepped in. Travis shook them off him and left the room. Jay looked at Adisa who seemed unbothered by the whole thing. "Man why you keep messing with him?"

"Because his ass need to realize he ain't all that." Jay just shook his head and got dressed.

TeMar walked into Destiny's room with Bella on his hip. "Girl we need to go out tonight, get you outta this depression."

"I don't know if I feel like going out especially with everyone knowing what's going on. And Heather's off so who would keep Bella?"

TeMar rolled his eyes at her. "Bitch get a sitter or ask Grandma Harris to watch her."

"We not on speaking terms right now." Destiny took Bella to give her her bottle.

"Oh lord, what she do now?" TeMar sighed.

"She wants me to forgive Travis and let him back in."

TeMar looked at her shocked. "Uh uh, grandma Harris a hot mess. She doing too much."

Destiny just sighed not wanting to discuss it anymore. "I just wanna stay here and sleep."

"Destiny you gonna find a sitter for my god-baby and imma be back here in an hour and we taking yo ass to the club to find you a nigga to get you outta your depression." TeMar got up from the bed and left. If she hadn't moved from the bed when he got back he was gonna drag her out.

Later that night, Destiny got dressed and went out with TeMar because she knew he would nag her. They were sitting in a booth having a few drinks.

Throughout the night Destiny got a few stares from women and it made her uncomfortable. "Bitch can I help you?" TeMar yelled across at the woman who was looking at Destiny, she instantly looked away.

"This is why I didn't want to come."

"Destiny you can't let these hoes scare you. You married to a basketball player of course they gonna talk, get used to it and ignore them." He handed her a shot. "Have another drink and let go."

She took it and threw it back. Maybe she should have some fun since it's been a minute since she did anything for her.

Destiny got herself a few more drinks and then was on the dance floor with some guy. "Fuck it up boo!" TeMar screamed from the booth happy to see her having fun. When the song was over Destiny took a seat with TeMar. "I ain't know you had it in you." He patted her on the back.

The two sat and talked a bit then Adisa came over. "So can I have a dance too?"

They both looked up at him. Maybe it was the drinks but he was looking extra fine to Destiny. "Girl if you don't I will." TeMar said making Adisa laugh.

"Alright." The two went onto the dance floor gaining a few looks from others. At this point Destiny didn't care and Adisa never cared to begin with. The drinks and music was flowing and Destiny was grinding up on Adisa to the music. TeMar was surprised at his best friend, they looked like they were about have sex right there.

Adisa whispered into her ear. "Come home with me." Destiny just looked up at him not sure what to say.
