Ascension

Chapter 43

~ Tionne~

I want you to go with me. Go with you! Yes, I don't feel comfortable leaving you here, especially not while you carrying my child. Tionne I can't...why can't you I said crossing my arms? Do you really think its wise for me to go on tour with you in my condition? Artists do it every day, we have stops and you'll be where I can watch out for you. Okay and what happens when I need to go the doctors, or if I get sick, or something. I can't just stop your job because I am sick. Justice I said looking at her. Tionne I hear you, I do, but look at me I am starting to show, my moods aren't consistent, and I don't really think I should be doing all of that flying. Besides Camille is home now and Andrew needs more help than even he knows. The last time I left you, I had to come back to you being beaten I don't want...that's not going to happen again, trust me on that. I have a retraining order, we have a security system, and besides I already told my job that I can't work right now. You quit your job I said looking at her. I didn't have a choice; I can't go to the places and do the things I use to while I am pregnant so it's better if I just focus on home right now. Once I have the baby, I'll find something different. That is your dream though. Dreams change Tionne and right now my dream is to have this baby, my wife, and that big house in Buckhead she said smiling at me. You remember that! Of course, I do. Will you settle for a big house a little outside of Atlanta on a golf course, gated, with a good school district? Hmm I think I can make do with that she said putting my arms around her waist.

Do you think we could have a condo here in California too, you know so when come and see Camille and Andrew we have some where to stay? We'll work on our condo after you have the baby and you get back to work, I am not stripping you of your dream. You worked too hard to get where you were and I am not letting you give up that quick. So, consider this a little vacation. Yes, ma'am she said pecking my lips. Which turned into us making out, which lead to...Mmm shit yes, I moaned as we were going at it.

Auntie! Titi! Shit we said covering ourselves as Camille walked in the room. I am sorry she said closing the door. Wow! See in our big house that wouldn't have happened. Shut up Tionne she said shaking her head as she tried to get up. Wait you not going to finish I am about to be on tour for the next month and a half. You serious! As a heart attack. Can I lock the door first? Hurry up and don't delay it. She went and locked the door before we finished our session. I love you so much I said pecking her lips repeatedly. I love you too go on now you gotta make this money for our baby. Alright! Be careful Tionne promise me you will be careful. I will the same goes for you, watch your surroundings and don't be no where by yourself. I got it mama! Juju! No I am serious I got it, I am not doing anything that will draw attention to myself. Thank you I said pecking her lips again. Go now before I keep you forever! You got me forever remember! I do she said as we came out the room.

Your car is here Titi, Camille said smirking at me. Thank you! I know she saw something but she wasn't going to say anything now. I am gonna bring you back something from Canada. Ooo thank you Titi! You're welcome. You be good and if you need anything you call me. I will! Alright love you too I said dapping her up. You good bro. I am great I got my daughter all is good in my world. That's what's up. Can you do me a favor? Yeah what you need. Can you tell Lisa Thank you for telling me what she told me? What did she tell you? She told me not to ever let anything jeopardize the home that I'd built for Camille. She's right! You built something for her that no one else could or will and she knows that you will ways protect her no matter what. I will definitely protect her always. In fact, I am thinking of making a drastic move. Drastic! Yeah here I'll walk you to the car. Ok I said as he took my luggage to the car.

What you thinking about Andrew? Don't say anything to my sister just yet but I am thinking about selling the house and moving. Moving where! I've gotten a couple of offers to coach some college teams but one is looking very good. Where is it at? Georgia! Really! Yeah at Kennesaw State. Even with what's going on with her mom and the boyfriend. He dropped the charges and is going to jail as well. And her rights are officially terminated and with our divorce she'll no longer be able to stay in the US. She not a citizen? No she's not, the only reason she's able to be here is because of me. No marriage no citizenship. You think Camille's is gonna be okay with that? At this point it doesn't matter I have to do what's right her and what's right for her is being around family. I don't have any family out here for her or myself. When Justice leaves, I won't know what do with Camille or how to take care of her and besides I miss my mom. As funny as that sounds for me to say it's true. What's funny about it, she's your mother and I presume that you love her. I do and I've spent so many years running from my father's past that I've neglected that I neglected her. You know I saw her for the first time in about 10 years at Justice's graduation. She'd never seen Camille in person.
