•2 Weeks Later•

"So how do you think I should... should approach this situation?" I asked, shakily.
"Just straight up. Like 'Yo, I think you know what I'm bout to say, now explain this shit before you end up without taste buds before you leave this bitch.'" Kyjuan said. I giggled.
"No but, a month? Really? Who the hell is Lauren?" I said, confused. There had been messages from Terrell about a month ago to this lady named Lauren. And not friendly or business messaging either.
"I'll shoot him if you need me to, just give me the word." Kyjuan said. I shrugged and sighed.
"I just can't believe this shit." I said. "When you think you know a person, right?" I chuckled. He sighed and nodded.
"Can I please just get 3 minutes with him, please?" He begged. I shook my head.
"There's no need." I said. "He'll get his."
"Uh huh. Okay." He said and pulled me closer to him and our eyes connected for what seemed like forever.
"The question is," He began softly. "When are you gonna get yours?" He said, pulling my jaw to his mouth and kissing me. My heart almost exploded out of my chest and I wanted to scream. His lips were so smooth and moist and soft, like always. His soft, strong, veiny hands on my cheeks felt warm and hugged my skin. His voice gave me chills when he'd speak close to my ear like that.
We began to kiss harder and his hands began to explore my torso. He rubbed my flat stomach and ran his hands down my arms, and up my shirt caressing a breast. He began to kiss my neck and run his hand down my hips and inner thighs. I could feel his print against my throbbing clitoris, and it made my eyes roll back as I sensed it's entirety, so large and heavy feeling. He wrapped his hand around my throat and squeezed, making me drip inside my panties.
"You can tell I've been wanting you. You're lucky I don't take you and break you down right here. Don't fucking play with me." He mumbled sexily into my ear, giving me chills. His voice, so deep and so sexy. He slowly released and I bit my lip, and slowly looked up at him. He bit his lip and ran his thumb across mine. I licked it lightly and he sighed, pressing our pelvises closer together.
"I really didn't think I'd be very capable of being able to be like this with any other women. Or maybe it's just the woman I chose that can do that to me." He ran his fingers through my hair.
"I don't know, maybe." I smirked. He smiled.
"I'm gonna get you in some trouble if you keep playing with me." He said.
"Like what?"
"You know what."
"Enlighten me."
"You know and I know we've been thinking of each other immensely. For a couple of weeks now and I leave tomorrow to my new place. Just come stay with me, Trent could come too."
"And just leave everything?"
"Not necessarily, you could come get things you want if you wanted to." Kyjuan said, grabbing my hands. "I'm gonna try and get Donna too. It's a 3 bedroom in case I had them both there with me."
"Good thinking. But I'd have to think on it." I said. He sighed and nodded. The door rattled and unopened. I quickly moved my hands from under Kyjuan's.
"Hey babe, need any help with any bags?" I asked. He squinted.
"No, no this is everything." Terrell said and sat everything on the counter. "So I'm guessing best friend things includes holding each other's hands?" He said from the kitchen.
"It's not even like that." I said, going into the kitchen.
"What's it like then?"
"He's been my best friend since we were just little kids. My ultimate best friend babe. Sometimes we make make physical contact when we're venting to each other."
"So disregard the feeling of watching you two eventually doing more with and for each other? You're thinking of him so much Symphony and you don't think I notice." He said, rubbing his temples.
"You want to know what's funny?" I chuckled." I noticed something too. For about a month now I believe. You've been thinking more of Lauren too." I said, in a fake thinking tone. He choked on his spit.
"L-Lauren?" He said.
"Uh hmm." I chuckled. "The little short skinny bitch. She's cute."
"Symphony calm down." He said, noticing how much I was laughing while talking to him. "What I'm really wondering is what the hell were you doing in my phone?"
"If you didn't want me to find out why'd you leave your phone home while you were at the store?"
"Because we're engaged I thought we trusted each other." He said. I laughed louder.
"Trust?" I said, and went into a laughing fit.
"Yeah but, obviously it's all kinds of messed up. Don't go through my shit again." He said. I scowled at him and walked right in front of him.
"Not this one. If we were engaged I could touch whatever the hell I wanted to."
"'Were'? What do you mean 'were'?"
"Were." I said, taking off my ring and sitting it on the table. "Yeah. Sorry 'Rell." She scoffed. "Maybe Lauren will enjoy the ring. Try it." She said. He scowled and I rolled my eyes, beginning to walk away until he grabbed me by my shoulders extremely hard and slamming me against a wall then squeezing as tight as possible around my neck with a freed hand and pinning me against it with the other. I shook, trying to get free but couldn't. My air supply decreased rapidly. I let out a raspy noise with a breath. I tried yelling Kyjuan's name but only the 'K' noise escaped my mouth. My head began to fill with a burning pain, my legs slowly became numb, and my eyes slowly got lower. The amount of air that my lungs could pull in decreased, and my eyes got even lower. I slightly began to panic noticing that I was close to passing out, seeing as things were getting dimmer. He smirked as my eyes began to shut. As soon as my eyelids touched a loud sound of glass crashing sounded close to me and I fell to the ground. I gasped a full breath of air and opened my eyes to see Kyjuan knocking Terrell out in the middle of shattered glass on the floor. After he was asleep, Kyjuan stood up, panting. He put out his hand and help me up. I grabbed it and he pulled me to him in a deep hug. I hadn't blinked since I heard the glass shatter, it was the first ever time a male has gotten that way with me outside of sex. I felt my eyes begin to sting and I let out a heaping sob. Kyjuan rubbed my back.
"Shh, I'm not gonna let anything hurt you, you know that." He said and began to rub my head. I cried harder, realizing that no one's looked after me the way he always has. I pulled away and slid my fingertips down his arms.
"I may need to... to be by myself a second."
"A second?" He squinted.
"A couple of hours, Kee." I sighed. He nodded, understanding where I was coming from.
"If you need anything, anything at all, I'm only a call or text away." He said. I smirked and nodded. He grabbed his wallet and keys and headed out. I sighed and collapsed on the couch. I began to cry all over again. It wasn't so much as to feeling pain from everything, but confusion. Did I even really love Terrell from the start, or was he a distraction to just forget about Kyjuan? Until he came back of course. I remembered how painful it was to go so long without him, even while carrying his child. Pretending like it just so happened that we'd had sex and I was just being responsible for the outcome. Pretending like I'd felt for him just as a friend for years. I rolled my eyes and went in my bedroom and packed Terrell's bags, not folding anything. I tossed all of his belongings-- shirts, underwear, pants, jewelry, shoes, toiletries, and accessories--into suitcases. Whatever didn't fit into his suitcases got put into garden trash bags. I took his keys out of his pocket and unlocked his car. I took his bags, putting them in the back seat and the trunk. I then lifted his feet and dragged him to the porch and let him like there until he came to. I shut the front door and locked it. I also made sure the windows were locked along with the back door. I then went around the house closing all blinds and curtains. I needed to busy myself.
I sighed loudly and turned the living room surround sound speaker on medium volume so I'd still be able to hear my surroundings. I turned my phone's ringer all the way up and tossed it on the couch.
I went into my room and pulled my hair back in front of the dresser's mirror and put it in a tight but sloppy bun. I changed into a tshirt, sports bra and spandex and put on my slippers. I checked the time on my clock on the nightstand, and it read 12:14. I remembered Trent was out with his friends from basketball.
I began in my room, making the bed, straightening the dresser which now only supported my things. I reorganized the drawers and cleaned the mirror. I reorganized the clothes I had in my vertical chest dresser which held my flatscreen on top of it.
I went into my closet and organized that too. All of my coats, shirts, shoes, hats scarves, everything. I was one of those girls with an insane amount of clothing.
I went into my in room bathroom and scrubbed it head to toe, making it a sparkling, glossy, shiny white throughout. I straightened the countertop of the sink that held my toothbrush, my makeup stand and brushes, jewelry box, and hair utensils. I vacuumed my rug and went onto Trenton's room.
Yes, I know the boy is 17 and can clean his own room, but I still like being nice. I also just needed things to do.
As soon as I walked in, my eyes bulged. What is the deal with teen guys and their body odor? I grabbed his hamper full of dirty clothes, took the sheets and pillowcases off of his bed and stuffed them in, and just grabbed his whole gym bag and carried it into the laundry room. I grabbed the hamper out of my room as well and put it in, thanking God that Terrell and I used separate hampers. I let Kyjuan put his clothes in mine. I took Terrell's hamper, threw it in the yard, came back inside and locked the door back.
I began loading the washing machine, leaving the hampers inside and shutting the door after I started it. I went back into Trenton's room and straightened his closet--picking up clothes that were at the bottom of the closet and hanging them up, seeing as they were clean, straightening out his shoes, and organizing his sports equipment. He had medals hanging on the walls and trophies sitting on shelves. I smirked to myself. He reminded me so much of Kyjuan when he was in school.
I dusted off his fan and organized his nightstand. I took his sports magazine and put it into his drawer, but paused when I opened it. Square, golden wrappers took up half of the drawer space. My face began to get hot. I didn't want Trenton doing things like this just yet, because I mean let's be real. He's Kyjuan's son, and Kyjuan has made a ton of sexual mistakes. He's so much like him in a lot of ways, but sexually I wasn't sure. Why hadn't he told me he's been having sex though? I sighed, tossed the magazine in and shut it. His room was complete.
I then began to straighten the living room, vamuuming under the cusions, fluffing the pillows on the couch, dusting everything off, throwing away pictures of Terrell and I. I organized the two bookshelves in the living room, putting horror movies together, documentaries together, action together, romance together, comedy together, and so on. I dusted each glass decoration and sat them on each shelf. I did the same for the books in the other shelf.
I wiped the coffee table down and sat the two remotes, decorations, coasters, and cards on the table and put whatever else where they were supposed to be. I grabbed the vacuum and vacuumed the living room, hallway, and Trenton's room. I glided to the bathroom in the hallway and cleaned it spotless, just as I had done my personal one. I organized Trenton and Kyjuan's things--toothbrushes, shaving kits, other guy type things. I swept the floor then went onto the kitchen.
Firstly, I swept up the glass so i wouldn't make any poke through my slippers and stab me by stepping on it. I wiped off the dining table, cleaned the entire stove, took things shelf by shelf out of the refrigerator and cleaned inside of it and afterward, cleaned the outside. I wiped the counters, put the dishes in the dishwasher and started it, organized the cabinets of food and dishes, organized the pantry, and switched loads over in the laundry room.
It may sound like a lot, but it actually felt great to be alone, getting things done and being able to think. I haven't been alone, genuinely alone, in a while.
I scrubbed the cabinets and mopped all of the floors, and by this time my forehead was sticky with sweat. I sighed. I felt like a robot, not getting tired at all.
I took out the trash, noticing Terrell and his car was gone, along with the hamper in the yard. Victory.
"Owch!" I exclaimed and scratched my foot. Fire ants.
I then decided to make a trip to the store to pass the time and get groceries and yard items in preparation to fix the front and back yard. Terrell always procrastinated when it came to housework. Lazy ass.
I went in the house and put on some sneakers and applied lip gloss. I grabbed my keys and wallet and headed out, turning off the stereo and locking the door behind me.
About 10 minutes later I pulled into the town's Supercenter. I shut off my car and headed in, grabbing a cart from outside the doors.
I grabbed the yard items first, getting 3 gallons of bug barrier to put in the yard, and simutanously decided to have a bed of different kinds of flowers in a little section in the front yard. I grabbed miniature picket fences to section them off from the yard. I grabbed a couple more things for the yard.
Afterward, I grabbed a few groceries, as if the kitchen wasn't loaded already, and went to check out. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was eyes on me. I sighed and looked around, only to see Angelique standing right behind me with some guy. She began to smile smugly.
"Can I help you?" I squinted. She chuckled.
"You must get a real kick out of screwing my ex husband. Well, soon to be ex husband. You do, don't you?"
"For one bitch, nobody's screwing anybody. Why does it even matter to you you fucking tramp." I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, " The guy interjected defensively.
"Hi how are you? You must be the doctor, boss, she's been cheating with? Wow Angelique. Was it for a bigger check or something? What a way to treat someone who used to love you." I chuckled. Her eyes held rage.
"Oh just shut up and be happy with my leftovers." She scoffed. "And how are you any better than I am? Last time I checked, Terrell is still in the picture, hm?"
"Actually, if you're gonna be in my business, make sure you know the facts. We're done. Turns out, he's just like you and we're getting a divorce."
"Round of applause. Were you and Kee fucking even before you found out?" She asked. I laughed.
"Girl, I'm not like you!" I said, holding my stomach laughing. "Now if you'll excuse me ho, I'm in the middle of errands. Goodbye." I winked at her and blew a kiss, walking off. She rolled her eyes.
I went to check out and took the bags to my car, putting everything in the trunk and pulling out.
Who the hell does Angelique think she is? She's such a bitch nowadays. And where did she get the idea that Kyjuan and I were having sex? I mean sure, I've daydreamed about it, I'm not too sure what goes on in Kyjuan's mind sometimes, but we haven't made sexual contact. I couldn't believe that's the guy Angelique cheated with. I wanted to laugh in his face, he's so common looking. Kyjuan is such a catch adn her dumb ass can't see it. He looks way better than that guy by a long shot. But it was funny, her leftovers. She must've not eaten her food because she left a whole meal.
I pulled into my driveway and took the bags inside, leaving the yard things out. I switched laundry over and carried what was dry to my room and put it on the bed to fold later.
I sprayed OFF! on to my skin and headed out to the front yard with the tools, sitting them on the porch table.
First I took my hedge clippers and evened out the bushes into perfect trimmed oval shapes. I then got the lawnmower from the back and began to cut the grass, leaves spitting everywhere. After I cut the front yard I swept the porch and driveway off then raked all the leaves into the garden bags that I grabbed from under the kitchen sink. I pulled them to the curb by the garbage can and set up the area where I wanted to grow the flowers, which was in direct sunlight.
I kneeled down with all my materials next to me, pulling out weeds and roots, and raking over the area. I used the trowel and began to plant different seeds around the area, watering the area after.
I took a gallon of bug barrier and sprinkled it thoroughly through the rest of the yard, using the enitre container. Good thing I had 2 more gallons. I panted from the blazing heat and took everything to the back, which was much worse. I sighed as I laid my eyes on the backyard, getting upset all over again at Terrell's laziness. The backyard was a disaster.
I began by thoroughly cleaning the patio, sweeping the flooring, organizing everything that was out there and putting things back where they were. I checked out the netting that enclosed the patio, sighing in relief that I didn't need to get new netting to fix anything wrong with the original.
I swept off the brick sidewalk that led to the shed. I grabbed another Gard bag and picked up trash that was left in the grass from when Terrell had people over for get togethers. I then trimmed all of the bushes that surrounded the patio, leaving the flowers to grow while wiping sweat from my brow and forehead. I also clipped the hanging vines and branches from trees overhead.
I then did the same that I had done in the front aside from planting. I mowed the lawn, raked the leaves, bagged them, and covered the backyard in bug barrier as well, using a gallon and a half. The whole property looked completely transformed. I actually felt accomplished.
I carried everything in and put them into their spots and changed the laundry over and took more clothes and put them on my bed. I went to grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge and sat on the couch, downing the water. I threw the bottle away and collapsed back on the couch and turned the television on. Kyjuan texted me about an hour ago. It was now 5:23.

Kee: Everything good?
Me: Yeah, exhausted.

I replied. I thought about tomorrow, and wondered if it was too early to go and file for divorce papers after work. Hell no.

Kee: What's going on?
Me: Just redid the entire house basically.

I held onto my phone and went into the kitchen and grabbed a bite to eat before my shower. Afterward, I got a tank top and matching soft wool shorts out to wear whenever I got out.
I went in the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I got undressed and ran water, eventually making the bathroom fill with steam. The hot water felt amazing on my skin and aching muscles. I always washed in a pattern, wash, shave, rinse, shampoo my hair, rinse, condition my hair, wash again, rinse the conditioner out, and wash one last time. The hot water felt great on my scalp.
I got out with a towel around me and turned the water off and wrapped another towel around my almost mid back length hair. I picked up my clothes that I had on and tossed them on the floor in my room to signal that they needed to go in the hamper when I brought it back in.
I went and brought more laundry into my room and tossed Trenton's now clean sheets onto his bed, putting his hamper back and bringing mine into my room and tossing my other clothes into it.
I shut my door, put on deodorant, lotioned down, put on my cozy clothes then folded and put up everyone's laundry. I then sat on the couch watching television and rolling up a blunt in deep thought.
