I still, He still, We still

Bye Bye Melvin

Camella POV

I just got off the phone with my sister Alicia telling me how her and Chris made up and that they will be here in thirty minutes . I shook my head on how slow she is. One thing about our relationship is we never stay mad at each other for a long time. But I just spent all day cleaning the house and sending the kids to my moms house. I prepared dinner for my man, Chris, Alicia and I so I could make Davion and Chris as comfortable and relaxed as possible. I've been doing a lot to hide my face from D by putting on excessive make up, not being around him during the day and starting petty arguments at night so I have an excuse for not sleeping in the same bed as him. I know he's been suspicious for the past five days but truth is I'm scared as hell. My husband is crazy!

-------------

We all ate at the dinner table very uncomfortably because tension was thick. It's like they were just waiting for us to say something or they knew something was up. Alicia and I sat on one side of the table with our husbands on the other side so we were face to face.

"Alright na Lisha and Melly we done eating. What yall got to tell us. " Chris spoke up breaking the silence. Leave it up to Chris to say something or notice first, no wonder Alicia can't hide shit.

I felt Alicia grab my hand under the table to reassure me everything will be just fine, even thou we both know it's not. I cleared my throat and look at Alicia then to Chris then Davion.

"Umm......ummm.. w we.. I mean I have something to tell you " I stuttered and said while playing with Alicia hand

" What" Davion and Chris ask at the same time

"Uhh, yall remember my ex boyfriend right?" I ask

"Uhh .....Melvin right? "

"Ummm yeah so like we kind of got in fight"

"Man Camella stop playing with me and say the shit."

"Melvin was abusive to me through our relationship and after. And I kind of ran away from him because I was scared he was going to kill me or you or my kids."

"Wait what?" Chris said

"Melvin used to beat when we used to be together before I had Timiah even when I was in a relationship with you he still find me and we use fight all the time or get in arguments. Then he got locked up and I thought it was for a long time but five years ago when we threw you that big party at the club I thought I seen him I'm not sure if I did but I thought I did so I didn't want to chance it. That's why i wanted to leave the party early and after for about a week or two I was paranoid and know that I had my daughters I was scared as hell. Baby I'm sorry I didn't tell you but that's why I wanted to Florida so bad I ain't want to get more trouble than you already was getting into. I ain't want you to do something stupid and end up going to jail for it, especially not for him. He wasn't worth and he still isn't. " I paused

"So where is he know, why you now bringing up? Like did you see him or sumn " Chris ask. I got up from the table and went to the bathroom removed the make up off my face. Even though the bruises were going away it was still noticeable. I looked at myself in the mirror with a tear escaping my eyes I quickly wiped it away and left the bathroom returning to the dining room table, the room was silent as I sat back down. Davion facial expressions is unreadable but his once light brown eyes were now black.

"Baby I'm sorry I'm so sorry I --" he cut me off

" You what Camella! you was gonna tell me huh you sorry, you was scared huh" Davion said with lots of anger and frustration in his voice

" Yes baby I was "

"So both of yall motherfuckers sat here for 18 years in our fucking face and not say not a damn thing. Damn y'all real fucked up! "Davion said to Alicia and I, he laughed a lil "so yall mean to tell us that we left our business thinking it was to please yall and what best for our families and a fresh start for us to move to Miami when all along it was to leave from a nigga that we could've handle years ago"

D sat back in his chair just looking at the both of us in disbelief and disappointment and Chris had his hand rubbing his chin like he was thinking of a master plan. Then he look at us up and down shaking his head

"Foul play fam, foul play. " Chris said the he touched Davion and they got up and went in the living room. Alicia and I sat in silence before I spoke up

"Sorry for getting you in my trouble Lisha ."

"Girl it's good, we'll be okay your trouble is my trouble so it's cool" she said shrugging and smiling

"It went better then I expected anyways I thought he was gonna kill me or summ. " I said smiling back

We gave each other a hug and stayed in the dining room thinking it's best we let them cool off before talking to them again. We stayed there for about 10 minutes before we heard D voice

"Bae yall come here right quick "

We walked in the living room

"Come here baby " D said holding out his hand while Alicia went to Chris. I sat in his lap

"Sorry I looked at him with my puppy dog eyes. And he kissed my lips

"I'm not mad at you no more, just don't keep secrets like that from me"

"Okay baby"

"Promise"

"I promise" he hugged me tighter then kiss my lips the my forehead then put his head in my neck kissing me. Chris got up and kissed Alicia on the forehead

"You ready" he ask D

"Yea"

"Wait where yall going ? " I ask even thou I kind of had a feeling where it was

"Lock up please and thank you " he kissed me and walked out the door with his keys and Chris right behind him

------

I laid in bed thinking about what's going on where is he then I looked at the clock and it was going on 2am. I sent up a quick prayer asking God to protect and forgive them and for them to come home safely.

Minutes later I had the door open and D came in, hopped right in the shower . I dozed off for a minute but I woke up when I felt the bed sink in. I heard him saying a quick prayer to forgive him for his sins and protect him and his family.

"Baby --" he cut me off

"Your safe now. Goodnight "

Welp that's it for the parents for now.

Until next time
