Life After Marriage Book 3

I'll Handle It

I sighed.

"And you work with him? Hell to the no. We know you fail miserably at niggas you work with. Starting with Nate."

"You don't have to throw shit in my face."

"I'm not throwing it in your face."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not. You have a pattern Amber. Did Nate not work with you? Did Wes not work with you?"

"Whatever." I pulled the covers back over me.

"That's not throwing it in your face that's being real. These niggas that work with you. Latch on to you for whatever reason. I understand it. You a good woman that's why I married you. But we not doing this shit again."

"Then that means you don't trust me."

"I trust you." He stood up looking in the mirror.

"No you don't." I rolled my eyes.

"If I didn't I wouldn't let you work with Omari. Let alone have this nigga as your boss. But this is my house. And I have a right to not want other niggas in it. Just like I wouldn't dare bring a woman in here."

"Okay August just go."

"Why are you getting mad?" He chuckled.

"Because you're annoying me."

"With the truth?"

"You and your truth go to work." He was pissing me off.

"Gimme a kiss before I go." He leaned over the bed.

I just looked at him.

"That's how you do the man you love? The father of your kids?"

I continued to look at him.

He laughed and stood up.

"When I get back, you can skype him. With me in the room. Love you." He walked out and went downstairs.

He was getting on my nerves. I wasn't going to do anything with Chad I hoped he would trust me. And I'm pregnant!!!But whatever. 😩

"So guess what?" Tanya sat on my bed.

"What?"

"Tada!!!" She showed me her ring finger.

"Oh my God you and Rell are getting married Again?"

"Yes!"

"Congrats. When?"

"A couple months."

"Couple months?"

"Girl we already old. And we did it once before. This one is going to be smaller. More intimate. Just close friends and family."

"Aww yay!!!! I'm happy for yall. Can't wait to tell Aug and the kids."

"But how you been?"

"Alright. Just Aug stay getting on my nerve."

"Girl when doesn't he? I've been listening to these stories since y'all got together. I will never forget the first big fight y'all had."

"Oh yeah. When he thought I was cheating with Omari and came to court and embarrassed me. I couldn't even finish my closing argument I was so whipped over him. Chile."

She laughed.

"Now look at y'all. Two kids and another one in the oven later."

"Yeah but I miss those days sometimes. Aug didn't have a lot but he would do everything to make me happy. Don't get me wrong our married times are beautiful, but those times it was the simple things ya know."

"Yeah I think about me and Rell the first time around, but I hope this one is better."

"It will be." I smiled.

"And we're talking about either adopting or surrogate. But with the way you pop out babies we might have to hit you up."

"Girl no. This is it. Aug used to say he wanted to top his mama with six kids. No after this one I'm done."

"I feel you. But I came to talk to you about something."

"What's up?"

"So yesterday im in Nordstrom. I'm in the dressing room trying on this dress. I hear somebody arguing in the dressing room beside me. It's a man and a woman. All of a sudden I hear a loud bang and crying. He hit her so hard the mirror falls off the wall. Then somebody leave out. I hurry and put my clothes on to go see what's going on. and I see the dressing room attendant is on the ground, crying holding her bruised face. Next to the shattered glass. She looks 18. I tell her im going to call the police. She begs me not to or else he'll kill her. I give her your work number and tell her to go see you ASAP. Her name is Antigone Jones. She promised she would. Look out for her."

I sat up.

"I've been working on her case, but she never presses charges."

"I think it's cause she can't. Or he will kill her."

"I'll handle it."

"Please do. His ass needs to be under the jail. I came out too late to see the guy."

I know my back is aching but I have work to do.
