It Only Takes Once

It Only Takes Once (Chapter 35)

"Come on Pops, let's go." I called to him, once I had an overnight bag packed and I had changed into more comfortable clothing.

"Where are we going at this time of night?" He asked looking down at his watch.

"Don't pretend like you didn't hear us arguing." I said eyeing him.

"I did, but that doesn't answer the question of where we're going." He said giving me a look.

"To my place." I said simply.

"Don't you live here?" He asked confused.

"Yes, but I'm still paying on my condo." I replied

"Oooooh, so why are we going again?" He asked.

"I'm leaving the house." I replied before hiking my bag higher on my shoulder.

"Um, don't you think that's a little extreme?" He asked. "Yall motherfuckers just got married and you're about five years pregnant. Leaving him makes no sense Shak."

"I'm not leaving him dumb dumb." I said rolling my eyes. "I'm just making a statement."

"Bring dramatic?" He asked giving me a look.

"I am not dramatic." I huffed.

"Yes you are and you're acting like a brat Shakayln, K.D is a grown ass man, you can't keep him in the house for forever." Pops shrugged.

"I'm acting like a brat because I want my husband safe?" I asked cocking my head to the side.

"I'm not saying that Shakayln." He sighed. "You know K.D is prideful, he's going to do what he wants regardless of what everybody else thinks. I know he hurt your feelings but you have to forgive him. Don't let petty shit ruin a good thing."

"Can I at least hit him before I forgive him?" I asked seriously.

"Why didn't you do that shit before he left?" He asked shaking his head.

"I didn't have shoes on so I couldn't reach." I mumbled making him bust out laughing. "Are you done yet?" I asked annoyed.

"My bad baby girl." He chuckled.

"Can we go now?" I asked.

"After all that good ass advice I just gave you, you still trying to leave?" He asked in disbelief.

"I'm not leaving him Pops, I'm just trying to prove a point." I explained.

"Whatever Shakayln, when he jacks you up don't come crying to me." He said shaking his head.

"I wish he would, that nigga ain't crazy." I said giving Pops a look.

"We'll see." He mumbled.

"Are you ready or not?" I asked while walking towards the door.

"I guess I'm ready." He huffed.

"Khadarious just thinks he can just walk out on me while I'm talking to him, shit I got something for his inconsiderate ass." I huffed.

Just as I had moved to open the garage door, it swung open.

"Where y'all going?" Khadarious asked raising an eyebrow. At the sound of their daddy's voice the twins started going crazy.

"Um n-nowhere." I stuttered.

"Scary ass." Pops mumbled under his breath before laughing.

"Why are you dressed, with bags packed if you not going nowhere?" He asked cocking his head to the side and giving me a knowing look.
