Love & War

Reflection

Drew POV

Just put Kyndall to bed and Imani is still sleep. I decided to go wash up and order Imani some chinese. I opened her medicine cabinet and saw she has plan B pills. I know my wife would never sleep with another man so soon. I threw them down the sink. I don't want to trap her but a new baby might bring us back together.

I cleaned myself up and went downstairs to watch the game and Imani was waking up. She looked like any mother would who slept for 5 hours and didn't mean to. She went to go shower and my phone went off.

Symone: I'm moving

Drew: I dont care as long as you leave Carter.

Symone: Are you out of your mind. That's my son.

Drew: I will take you to court for custody. Be a good baby mama and sit the fuck down somewhere. You need dick is that what it is.

Symone: Drew, I want nothing from you.

Drew: I bet. You're in love with me and you hate it's not mutual. 😂

Symone: You got jokes huh. Here's one. I'm still pregnant. I didn't miscarry and you don't know where Carter and I are. 😂😂🖕

I felt the anger building up but Imani was coming down stairs so I just put my phone away. I am close to having my family back.

"Baby, the food is almost here". I said to her smiling. Something was off though she wasn't smiling back.

"Drew, I didn't mean to have sex with you. That's not what we need to be doing" she started crying.

"Imani, baby listen I'm sorry if this is too fast. I want us to get better" I said holding her.

Her door bell rung and I was so happy the food was here. I opened the door and Mike stood there tall and was not happy to see me.

"Michael Lincoln" I said shocked.

"Andrew Mitchell" he responded.

I dont know why Imani's dad intimidates me but that man does.

"What are you doing here Drew" he asked.

"I, uh came to see my daughter and my wife" I responded

"EX wife you mean" he loudly spoke.

"Well Mike the divorce isn't final and as a matter of fact" i was interrupted by Imani before i could finish.

"Daddy, hey! Wheres mom" Imani asked looking around.

"She's on the phone. She'll be in" Mike said keeping eye contact with me.

"Great, well dad Drew was just leaving" she said looking at me.

"Oh no, I thought I could chat with him a bit" Mike said and before Imani interrupted. I agreed to talk with Mike.

Joyce walked in of course unhappy to see me as well.

"Oh Christ what is he doing here" she rudely spoke but Mike has Joyce in check.

"Joyce, not at this moment especially in my presence will you act in such nature." He sternly asserted her back into her place as his wife. Surprisingly Joyce ass honored his demands.

"Drew, come" he gestured for me to follow.

Imani's back yard was nice. Mike was setting up the grill and he pulled out a cigar.

"Drew, Imani is my joy. I don't know what you call yourself doing but leave while you're ahead." He almost sound like he threatening me.

"Mike, no disrespect but the way you feel about Imani is the same I feel for Kyndall and I'm not leaving my daughter for another man to raise. Imani and I will over come this so I suggest yall quit while yall ahead" I snapped back.

Granted I never challenged Mike but I'm fighting for my family and he wants me to leave my child. Nah, I'm not that man.

"Name your price to leave Drew" Mike pulled out a check book.

Mike obviously have not seen how well my businesses are going. Let me remind him business man to business man.

"Mike, I own 2 multi million dollar companies in Atlanta. You're daughter and I own a 3.5 million dollar home. Do I look like I'm desperate for money? I'm desperate for my family" I responded offended off of his charity gesture.

I assume he see how serious I am and asked why wasn't his daughter enough. This is the question I always avoid answering

"Mike, what my wife and I have going on is not you or your wife problem. I hate Imani gives y'all the okay to come in between us" I triggered something in him by my words. Mike grew bothered and stepped to me.

"Drew, we both know you aren't this tough guy. I'll let it slide. Let's go join our wives". Mike said as he walked off.

"Dad so glad you guys decided to rejoin us" Imani said.

As we walked in I noticed she was dressed up. Imani didn't mention going anywhere which bothered me.

"Where you going" I asked kind of bothered.

"I'm going out with some people from school" she responded.

I know my wife and she isn't really friendly so I'm a tad confused.

"With that on?" I asked. Then of course her mom chimes in.

"Drew, you're getting divorced......remember" she reminded.

I looked at Mike to see if he was going to put her in her place again and to my dismay he didn't.

I looked at her again and got angry. Imani is gorgeous and I know men are going to be trying her tonight.

I decided to just leave before I grew even more angry.

"Well imma head out Imani, kiss Kyndall for me" I announced. Someone was saying something but I was zoned out by my wife actually going out.

I have to get Imani Mitchell back because i never got to see who Imani Lincoln is and I dont think I want to.
