Da Truth

What work

Four day's later

"I hope you don't think I'ma just let that pass?" Bashar asked in a deep voice, and I looked back. When did he get here, and what wasn't he going to let pass? How long has he been here, and what all did he see? Also, who told him where I would be at because I definitely didn't. He's still in trouble with me.

"Pop Smoke this is Erykah Badu, singer, and songwriter along with various other credentials. Erykah this Pop Smoke, he's an amazing rapper." I said, and Pop looked at us sitting down at the table. "I'm also her fiancé and the father of her baby."  Pop said, and I chuckled as I took a sip of wine.

"You're not supposed to be drinking," Bashar said, and I ignored him. "He's my ex-fiancé, and what I do, doesn't concern you, but if you should know, I can have a glass of wine every so often," I said, a little upset. "So how did you two meet?" Pop asked, looking at Erykah and myself. I rolled my eyes cause something told me he wasn't leaving anytime soon. Then Pop grabbed a chair and pulled it up to the table.

"Shouldn't you be out with ole girl from the club? Pop, don't play with me. I'm handling business, but if you keep playing with me, I'ma air this bitch out." I said most calmly, making sure only us three could hear me.

Erykah looked at me, shocked, then she smirked. "Baby I-" Pop was about to speak, but the waitress came to the table. "Hi, can I get you all anything else?" She asked, and Erykah smiled. "The check, and he'll be paying." She said, and I smirked, then I looked at the waitress.

"Can you buy every table two of your most expensive wines," I said, and the girl nodded.

Sometime later

"You be doing too much," I said, and Pop glared at me as he kept driving. "How Lovely, cause we both know you wanna fuck that lady. You asking her to be your midwife is just another way for you to get close to her. Then you spend my money with her just to make me look dumb." Pop said, and I rolled my eyes as I watched the rainfall on the car. "Actually, she asked me if she could be MY midwife. AND I SPENT YOUR MONEY CAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I COULD HURT YOU! ME LEAVING DOES NOTHING TO YOU, BUT ONE DAY I'MA LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK!" I said, and Bashar pulled over to the side of the highway and looked at me.

"Do you really think that?" He asked, and I looked out the window. A tear rolled down my cheek, and it began raining harder. "Lovely, I don't feel like that. I know I have a shitty way of showing it but trust me, I only love you. You are my everything." Bashar said, and I sighed.

Bashar P.O.V

"You know what hurts worst? I asked you did anything happen and believed every word like you were Bible." Lovely said while looking out the window, and I quickly spoke. "I didn't lie. Nothing happened. Did we have a conversation that got a little too friendly, yes? Did I have any intentions of getting with her, no." I said, and she chuckled as if she didn't believe be.

"I'm done threatening you. Just know that if I ever feel like I'm losing myself, I will leave," Lovely said, and I nodded as I started back driving. "That won't be a problem; nothing will as long as I'm alive," I said, and Lovely didn't speak the rest of the ride.

Next day (Dinner)

I was running late, so once I parked in the garage, I quickly walked into the house. Everyone looked at me enter the kitchen from the garage, and I smiled.

"I'm sorry i'm late." I said, and everyone looked at me, "Y'all look amazing." I said, walking to the table, and Kenny glared at me. I looked at both him and Nicki. Nicki just looked at me with a smirk on her face. Nicki smiled, then I finally looked at Bashar sitting at the head of the table.

"What did I miss?" I asked. "What didn't you miss?" Bashar asked, looking at his almost empty plate.

"My business meetings and clothes fitting," I said, and for a moment, our eyes meet. You could sense the anger in the room. For a moment, It was like we were the only two at the table.

"Why where you late?" Kenny asked, and Bashar looked at me. "I was fucking Erykah Badu," I said in a sarcastic tone, then I rolled my eyes. Nicki smirked, and I took two boxes out of my purse. "I was buying gifts after work," I said, and they looked at both Nicki and me.

Both Bashar and Kenny grabbed the boxes and opened them. It was two custom iced out Cartier watches. Inside the faces are custom colors and names. My name is inside Bash watch, and Nicki's name inside of Kenny's.

"I hope you guys like 'em," I said as I got up from the table. I smirked at Nicki. Then I walked away, not saying another word.

1:00 Am ( Bashar P.O.V)

Thunder, Rain, and Ocean sounds were playing in the bedroom. I walked towards the door and opened it.

Lovely's sleep in the bed in her pjs. I walked to the bed and put the covers on Lovely. Then I kissed her forehead. I went and got in the shower. Once I was clean, I dried off, then got dressed.

I eventually slipped into the bed, and Lovely was still sleeping. Lovely's body moved closer to mine, and I closed the space. I began holding her and slowly fell asleep.
