Ok so I know I said I was going to write anymore, but you know Whit and Aimee(and my friends) are right, I shouldn't stop doing something that I like doing. I felt a little bummed out when people kept sending me degrading feedback. I have no prob with constrctive criticismbut when it goes to calling me names(that person knows who they are) then thats a little much but whatever they can eat booty. Ok enough of that,lol
Kristina quickly wiped her eyes, not giving Justin an answer. Would
she do it? Would she leave him again? A silent prayer was said while
he tried to figure out what she was going to do. He hadn't even
realized that she wasn't in the room with him, heading out towards
the foyer where Veneska was still standing. Kristina squatted down to
Alesha's level, something she had been so used to doing with Justina.
"Hi sweetheart what's your name?"
"Alesha."
"That's a pretty name for a pretty little girl. Alesha there's a room
upstairs filled with a whole bunch of toys would you like to go play
with some while we talk with your mommy?"
"Ok."
"Alright, thank you beautiful." Kristina kept her eyes on Alesha
until she disappeared upstairs. The smile that welcomed Alesha now
became a scowl. "Now who the fuck are you to come and bombard someone
this early with some news like that?"
"I'm his baby momma that's who."
"No…you're some skanky little ho loitering on my front porch."
"I'm here to talk to Justin not you."
"Sweetheart when he put this ring on my finger we became one so
you're talking to the both of us." Things between the two women were
becoming heated. That ho was treading on her territory, her life.
Justin, her children were her life and she was trying to destroy it.
You could look into her icy blue eyes and see deceit within. Alesha
was a adorable little girl from first glace but there was something
Kristina just couldn't shake. Inside Veneska was laughing in the
inside. Way too easy…way too easy to rile that little short bitch up.
"Um Justin" she called looking around Kristina, "call off your dog."
SAY WHAT?! Kristina's mouth dropped in shock. No she didn't just go
there!!
"DOG?! Excuse me?!" Now Justin was angry, not that he wasn't angry
when they were arguing but that was just the final straw. This
morning was turning into a nightmare.
"You don't talk to my wife like that!"
"Well tell the little ghetto bitch to heel."
"This coming from a crack head that's rich. I might be here in Cali
but I'm still from the hood. I will release a good ol' Detroit ass
kicking on you." And she meant that. Justin knew what was about to go
down when she began to take the earrings off. Neither one of their
children needed their mother in jail so Justin turned around to calm
her.
"Kristina, let me handle this ok. Just let me get her out of our hair
ok?" he whispered to her. Man she was really looking forward to
releasing some built up frustration on her face but she was only
thinking with a hot head. She'd be more than ashamed if little
Justina saw her maman sitting behind bars so she heeded to Justin's
advice.
"Yeah ok" she nodded but of course it wasn't going to end there.
Kristina looked around Justin's body back to the ho. "He just saved
yo ass." When she retreated Justin let off a sigh of relief. Though a
cat fight between those two would be more than hot, now was not the
time. This was a serious matter. A child? Why? How? Well he knew how
but jeez…a child?
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
"After that little Jerry Springer episode you just pulled I don't
think so. Anyone who talks to my wife like that doesn't deserve to
step foot in our home."
"Our home'? Last time I checked your money is what bought this home."
"But my family's love is what built it. Besides that's really none of
your business. You really have some nerve waltzing your ass up here
throwing something like that my way."
"Something like that? Is that how your going to refer to your
daughter now?"
"And that's another thing how do I even know that's my child?!"
Veneska's heart began to race. Was that a bead of sweat forming
against her forehead?
"Because it is that's why!" Justin ran his hands across his face in
frustration. This wasn't supposed to be happening.
"Ugh what do you want me to do?!"
"Be her father, that's what!"
"She doesn't even know me!"
"Well get to know her." Justin thought back to the curly head cutie
that stood timidly behind her mother when he opened the door. If this
was truly his daughter he was going to treat her like his other
children. She wouldn't be shunned away because she wasn't part of the
fold.
"Fine……fine" he groaned. "I'm a little busy today, is there anyway
you can bring her tomorrow so that I can spend some time with her?"
"That I can arranged. You won't regret this Justin, you'll love her."
"Yup."
"Alesha honey lets go!" Pitter patter of Alesha's feet came running
down the hall.
"Don't run down the steps sweetheart" Justin called out. Already
calling her sweetheart. His eyes locked on her as she walked down the
steps slowly as he instructed. He couldn't really say that she looked
just like him but there were similarities within her that made him
smile. It was more than wrong to think it but he did. She wasn't
Kristina's child. Would he love her any less because of that tidbit?
Only time would tell.
"Ok well what time do you want us to come over tomorrow?"
"She" he emphasized, "can come over tomorrow early."
"It can't be too early because she has preschool."
"Fine bring her when preschool is over. We'll have some one on one
time, is that ok Alesha?"
"Yeah" she nodded.
"Alright" he smiled. She was a little cutie pie. Maybe she and
Justina would love each other. No not maybe, they would. Justina was
so open to everyone, she'd love the fact that she had a sister.
"Well we'll see you tomorrow."
"I'll see Alesha tomorrow." Veneska sneered at him once more before
grabbing Alesha's hand, taking her away. Justin waited at the door
until her black Honda Accord was far in the distance. Reaching for
her cell phone, Veneska finally found her Nokia in her fake Gucci
purse. She couldn't wait to tell her the good news.
"Hey…yup it just went down. They are so pissed! Especially that bitch
of a wife he got. Give or take a few months she's going to be a thing
of the past especially with Alesha now being a part of his life. This
kid is gold Ruby."
^*^
"Kristina? Kristina?" Justin looked around for Kristina but he
couldn't find her. He became more than nervous. Goosebumps filled his
arms, this was the one thing he feared the most. It was bad enough
that he had a child he had just learned about now the possibility of
his wife and children leaving him was more than what he could
bare. "Kristina!" Frantically he looked around for her. The sounds of
little J's cries halted him from his search. He had to see what was
wrong with him first before anything but halfway up the stairs his
cries stopped. Ok….that was confusing. Stepping into his Babar
decorated bedroom he found Kristina sitting in the rocking chair with
Little J in her arms. Justin didn't say anything, just watched mother
and son. Punk, he felt like a freaking punk because Justin couldn't
hold in the tears that so desperately needed to come out. Slowly
Kristina removed herself from the chair where now little J was back
to sleeping. Gently not to wake him she laid him back into the crib.
Along with Kristina, Justin draped the small boy with his power blue
sheet, giving his sweet little boy a kiss on the forehead. Silence
filled the room. He didn't know what was going through her mind at
the moment. Kristina walked out of the room to the hall. Justin
followed nervously awaiting the first words to come out of her mouth
since Veneska was there. Her stare was intense. He could hear it
now "I`m leaving you" or "I want a divorce Justin!" His heart was
beating a million miles a minute waiting, wondering what her response
would be. Kristina turned towards Justin and surprisingly took his
hands in hers.
"We're gonna get through this ok? Me and you together." Damn there
goes those tears again. Justin didn't bother wiping them away instead
holding her in his arms. "Ok?"
"Ok."
^*^
"The girl is fully functional Krys, she walks, talks the whole bag."
"What did you think she was gonna do grab at your breast for milk?
Everything that happened with Justin and Skanky McSkankster happened
awhile ago."
"You're right…" Kristina sat across from her best friend of 10 years,
Krystal. She had been there from the beginning of she and Justin's
relationship. To refresh your memory, the two met at their extremely
small private school. Never had they talked those first two years but
the last two years they grew close. They were inseparable. So close
that Krystal moved all the way out to California just to be with her
friend. Well that and to be with Lance. But once again her friend was
going down a bumpy road in her marriage. Looking at Justin and
Kristina gave anyone hope in love but here they were once more
getting ready for the storm
"So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know Krys, truly I don't know."
"If you leave again I will track you down and beat the shit out of
you. You know you had me crazy when you left that one time."
"You know why I had to do that Krystal."
"Yeah yeah" she sighed before sipping her coconut mocha frap. "So are
you?"
"Are am I what?"
"Are you going to leave again? Last time you laid down the law like
Wiggum. If he screwed up again that was it."
"I told him I wouldn't but honestly….Krystal I just don't know what
to do."
"Explain."
"I mean I love him, I love him more now than what I ever thought I
could but then I have to realize could this destroy us?"
"It only will if you let it." Did I happen to mention how much she
hated it when her friend was right? Because this time she was once
again right. Damn her for having a friend with an incredible sense of
reasoning. Their marriage was stronger than ever. The only person who
could take it out of its balance were the two of them. Or at least
she hoped so. The girls chatted away over their overly expensive
drinks while on the other side of town Veneska was pulling up to the
mansion. She was as giddy as a school girl walking up the marble
structured path. Sure he was only going to spend time with Alesha but
once things went her way he would be spending time along with her as
well.
"Now Alesha you know to be good for daddy right?" Alesha nodded her
head. "Good." Veneska reached up to the doorbell waiting for Justin's
answer. There standing before he looked more than delectable. He was
more muscular than he had ever been since their encounter and it
shined through his tight white wife beater that he wore better than
any man in the world.
"Hey Alesha" he smiled not bothering to acknowledge Veneska standing
there.
"Hi!"
"Well might I say you look very pretty today." Alesha blushed.
"What do you say Alesha?"
"Tank you."
"Well come on in" Justin stood aside to let the two ladies in. He was
disgusted looking at her. Only one who was high on drugs could ever
sleep with that. She just looked like a walking disease.
"So what are you two going to do today?"
"Um…I don't know, maybe get some ice cream or something. Get to know
her."
"That would be great." Neither really knew what to say. "Um look
about yesterday I want to apologize for my behavior."
"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. That would be my wife."
"Well if she's here--"
"She's not."
"Maybe if she's here when I get back or maybe I can stop by so we can
chat together."
"I don't think that's gonna work. You alone with her might result in
a death sentence."
"Yeah…" she had to find a way. Some way to make it up to her, get on
her good graces somewhat. Yesterday she let anger get the best of
her. She was supposed to be in that position, not some hoodrat. Ruby
said that maybe being a little nicer to her would help dramatically.
Only time would tell if that was true. First she had to get in
contact with her to apologize regardless if she didn't want to. "Well
anyways I'll be back around 4."
"But it just turned two, how am I going to get to know her in 2
hours?"
"You don't plan to get to know her in one day do you?"
"No not at all but I would like to spend a little more time with her
than just two hours at least." Ruby was a genius! That was working
too well.
"Yeah sure, what time is good for you?"
"How about 6?"
"Alright 6 it is. Now remember what I told you Alesha, be good and
mind your manners ok?"
"Ok."
"Ok" Veneska laughed. "I'll see you later."
"Yeah." Justin waited for Veneska to leave before pulling up the
door. Maybe she wasn't a bad person after all. Yesterday tempers
flared but sometimes we all have our moments were we let our hot
heads get the best of us. Her chemistry with Alesha was caring
showing him that her old ways had perhaps changed. That she was no
longer the crack sniffing, club hopping whore (though she still
dressed like one) and more so a loving parent. "So Alesha today is
all about me and you, so tell me what do you like to do?"
"Umm mommy takes me to the zoo cuz I like fishies."
"You like fishies huh? Ok, well we'll go see some fishies and how
about some ice cream or whatever you want?"
"Ice cream! Ice cream!"
"Ice cream and the zoo it is." Justin grabbed his glasses, baseball
cap and keys. "Alright little momma, lets jet."
