Jasper Madlock "Why?" Persia cried into the phone questioning me as I sat at one end of the dinner table while Mia sat at the other end watching me.
Persia had been calling me over the last week begging me to come home and as bad as I wanted to just run back to her and tell her what was going on I knew that if she knew Mia was here the two of them would clash and everything would go up in flames. I knew that doing this could possibly end up with the same results but I needed to get close to Mia to learn her weaknesses. Hell I was her weakness. As long as she had me and thought that I loved her she'd let her guard down. It hurt to see my wife crying and begging. I hated that I'd gone home that night and told her I was leaving her for Dominique but I had to do it this way. I had to play this role and make Mia think that I really wanted her and that I'd been wanting her back. I planned to play it so well that she believed it this time.
"Why what Persia? I told you it's over. I'm with who I wanna be with." I lied feeling my own heart break at the sound of those words slipping from my mouth. I watched as Mia smiled listening closely since the phone was on speaker.
"Jasper how could you say that to me after everything we've been through?"
"I'm not in love with you. I thought I was. I really did but I realized I was only accepting that until Dominique and I could make amends. I've asked you to stop calling me unless it's about my babies. I want you to find happiness. I'm sorry it had to be this way but it's done."
"Babe..." She sniffled and I wanted so bad to admit the truth and tell her that I wanted her and only her. I had to swallow around the lump in my throat and not show any type of emotions towards what she was saying in front of Mia. "This isn't you. After how you fought so hard to clear my name and how you protected me and the kids a person doesn't just do that for someone they didn't really love. I miss you. I want you home. Was I not a good wife? Can you just tell me what she has that I don't? Please just talk to me." She cried. I stared at Mia who rolled her eyes at the sound of Persia's voice. She folded her arms and raised an eyebrow at me.
"Look...." I said angrily trying to sound realistic. "I've told you what it was. If you can't accept that shit then it's on you. I gotta go."
"Jas!"
"Bye." I hung up in her face and Mia smiled getting up from the table walking to the end I was sitting on. She sat in my lap and threw her arms around my neck. She pecked my lips and I accepted it. I didn't pull back how I wanted to. I tried to act natural and not give off any rejective vibes.
"I'm so happy you're here with me." She smiled caressing my cheek. "We can finally be a family now."
"Finally baby." I smiled kissing her lips even slipping in a little tongue. "I'm home now."
