HENDRIX #3
“I was talking about you cutting me off as far as money but damn nigga. I’m getting cheated on too? You really ain’t shit bro’.”
I apologized because of her choice of words but she really had no idea how I betrayed her trust. Hell, it was out there now. I planned on owning up to my wrongs anyway. There was no point in trying to shy away from it now.
“Don’t say that cause you know it ain’t true. I made a mistake and I’ll do any and everything to make it up to you.”
“I’m good. Me and my daughter will be out of your hair in less than an hour.”
“No baby, please don’t take Akeera away from me. I know I messed up and you can hold that over my head as long as you need to but don’t take that little girl out my life. Besides this one time, I ain’t never treated you wrong.”
“All it takes is one time Hendrix. Damn I have got to be the biggest fuckin’ fool to think I had a good one!”
Aviana was yelling at the top of her lungs, and I knew Princess could hear how upset her mother was. I never meant to hurt her or cause friction in our relationship. I was genuinely content with where I was.
“You taking it a little too far. I always been a good man to you.”
“So, cheating on me is being a good man? Also, you only told me because you assumed I knew. Yeah, I got a good man alright.”
“Like I said, I’ll do whatever it takes to fix things between us. It was a foolish mistake, and I really am sorry. You know me Avi and you know how much I love my family.”
“I thought I knew my nigga but it’s clear that I don’t. Unlock my fuckin’ card so me and my daughter can have time to think about our next move.”
“You think I’m about to give you the funds to walk away from me? Hell nah.”
“Nigga the least your cheating ass can do is give me time to figure out whether I want to stay with a lying muthafucka or not. Am I not owed that?”
As much as I hated to admit it, I had to realize that this was my fault. I created the mess I was standing in and regardless of what I wanted to happen, she had every right to be done.
“You got that. You can be done if you choose to be but please don’t mess up the stress-free life I’ve provided that little girl. I won’t fuss with you about leaving or even hating a nigga, but she stays.”
“She’s going to do whatever the fuck I say. You ain’t shit to her anyway. She has a daddy, remember that.”
If she was trying to hurt me back, she accomplished it.
DNA couldn’t bring us closer than what we already were.
Akeera was my baby and not even Aviana could tell me different.
Plus, the so-called daddy Avi was speaking of paid his hundred dollars a month in child support and stayed out the way. He had no time for Aviana or Princess.
My hand was around her throat backing her into a wall before she could blink. I was hurt for sure, but I was equally enraged. She knew how I felt about our daughter, and she still decided to test the waters.
“I’m letting you get away with a lot of junk because I genuinely messed up, but I suggest you play with a nigga that don’t give a crap about his child. Watch your words and keep it cute cause you know firsthand how ugly this can get.”
She turned her head with her lips poked out and I truly didn’t care.
I was allowing her to have her way because of my wrong doings but speaking on a man that didn’t show his face not even once and giving him a title I earned was unacceptable.
I’d be that cheating nigga she claimed I was, but I damn sure wasn’t letting her take my position in Akeera’s life away.
“Unlock my card so I can go please,” she said tight lipped.
I released her and she scurried to the closet to pack a bag. My daughter was staying put. She could leave and have the moment she was requesting. I wasn’t going to stop her because it was clear she needed to think things over, but Akeera’s life wasn’t going to be interrupted.
She walked out shortly after with a suitcase in tow.
It bothered me that she wanted to walk away from our relationship because of my one mistake.
Her neglect made it that much easier to take Sorimah down.
I wasn’t blaming her for my actions because I was a grown man and took the risk.
However, she wasn’t upholding her position either.
I removed my phone from my pocket and proceeded to unlock her card. I took out the majority of her funds leaving her with ten grand. As selfish as it sounded, I was only giving her a week to make her mind up.
“It’s done,” I said walking into the bathroom leaving her alone.
“Thank you. I’ll let you know within the next two weeks on what I’m going to do.”
“You got seven days. Make the best of it.”
With that, I shut the bathroom door and proceeded to unwind.
Giving her a deadline when I was the one stepping out was wild, but I was doing what was necessary.
I was far from arrogant but the lifestyle I provided her with was a lifestyle she couldn’t keep up if she walked away.
She would be back within the next three to five days max.
