Euphoria

Silent Treatment

Paisli sits and stares out her window as she rocks Cane in the rocking chair back to sleep. Her mind is completely lost right now. Zane left the house because Paisli called his mother frantic and crying to get him out of this house. She told him over the phone what he did to her and Janeeka although surprised shouldn't be. Paisli and Zane reminded her so much of Zion and her when they first fell in love. They went through hell and back. Right now, Paisli and Zane are going through the hell.

After putting Cane to sleep she couldn't even put him down. So she held him close to her heart. She found herself letting tears drop as she couldn't believe that happened tonight. She was in such shock that eventually she became numb. She just stared out the window as her mind went blank.

The sun starts to creep through her curtains as she decided to lay 11 month old Cane on her bed. Cane is now crawling, trying to walk, saying mama dada and juice. He's very active and looks exactly like his father. Cane is blessed with a head full of hair so Paisli would braid it like Zane hair however he had it braided during that time. She kisses his cheek taking in his baby scent and headed to her closet to clean it up. Zane left a mess after he slammed her into it. The glasses didn't break grateful but some of her things splattered and went all over the place.

Paisli in the moment realized how strong she was. She cleaned this closet up without a single flinch. This only taught her one lesson, make Zane regret ever putting his hands on her. 

She finally looks at herself in the mirror seeing her eye swollen but her cheek bruised. It pained her to make any facial movements on the right side of her face. She moved her robe seeing the marks of Zane hands left on her neck and parts of it bruised. She clears her throat and it aches. Her body ached terribly but she walked it off. She placed a warm rag on her face walking out of the room and sliding in bed with a snoring Cane. He laid in the middle, Paisli laid on her side of the bed and Zane side stayed untouched.

*SLAP SLAP SLAP* "Boy are you stupid?!" Janeeka slapped Zane up like he was a teenage boy again. Zion grabs her before she punched him cause she balled her hand up.

"I did not raise you to put your hands on women, or did I fuck up?" "Ma, I blacked out." "That's not excuse! After everything that girl has been through and you put your hands on her? Over a assumed text?" "They spoke about them having lunch Ma! What was I suppose to think?!" "I was at the lunch idiot! It's in regards to her store. Something you belittled her about? I swear where did I go wrong with you? Huh?" "Ma..." "No Zane, no. I did not raise you to be some misogynistic egotistic narcissist. I damn sure didn't raise you to put your hands on a woman, she's the mother of your son! Paisli isn't opening a store to spite you, she isn't opening a store to leave you, she's opening a store to help you. She's opening a store for herself, the girl got skills. Why wouldn't you want a boss ass woman as your wife?" "I never looked at it like that mom. I just... i love Paisli so much and I don't want to lose her. I don't." "You need to give her space, and i mean space. That girl don't want to see your face Zane. You've done it this time." Zane places his face in his hands feeling like complete shit. He knew for a fact this is unforgivable to Paisli and he didn't know if he was losing her or how long she'd be mad. He just prays she don't leave him.

2 weeks later...
Paisli sits in her office at her store as the design team finished the first floor. Her grand opening is in a month and a half. She purposely wanted to wait until after Cane first birthday to open her store and she's beyond happy that this is finally happening and so soon. She read over some of the grand opening notes as she heard someone knock at her door.

Chance walks in putting a smile on Paisli face. "There's that beautiful face" "Hey handsome, what's up?" "I come with a favor." "Anything for you." "I have a girl.. who really needs a job." Paisli cocks her head seeing the worry in Chance face. He cared about whoever he's asking Paisli to give a job to. "What's her name?" "Sophia." "You fucking her?" "P, no" He chuckles nervously and she squints at him rolling her tongue on the inside of her right cheek. "Righhhhht, is she with you?" "Yeah." "Let me speak to her." "Paisli don't you go asking her crazy ass questions" She waves him off "Go get her nigga. Shit"
