{Charleston}

Being 7 months pregnant and trying to clean a whole 2 story house alone, it is not easy at all. When I married Dwayne I figured it would become easier but it just remained the same. I was content but I wish I went just a house wife. While he was out with his boys or playing at his games, I was stuck at home doing my "daily duties".

"Charleston if you don't bring your ass!"

Cordell yelled from downstairs and I slightly rolled my eyes. Tonight Dwayne had a game and Cordell was taking me so I could at least get out of the house.

I fixed my dress before grabbing whatever I needed and wobbled downstairs.

"To say you're my best friend , you sure don't show much sympathy for a pregnant women."

I said rolling my eyes and walking to the car. I heard him say sown thing under his breathe but I just ignored him cause I didn't feel like dealing with his mouth right now.

when we pulled into the parking lot it was hella crowded and paparazzi was flooding around the car so I put my shades on and got to my seat as quickly as possible.

I looked at Cordell and he let out a frustrated sigh before sitting down. he hated paparazzi so much and it was evident. I know he didn't wanna be here either cause he does not like Dwayne at all. he says he's not my type and that I need to let him go but I love him so.

"after the game Imma drop you off then go stay at a hotel."

I looked at him and sighed and pouted.

"but why Cordell? why can't you just be a best friend and support my relationship. I know you're not to fond of us but I like him."

"he's not your type."

"and what is? you?" I snapped back and he looked at me and chuckled.

"let's get something straight Charleston. if I wanted you I could have you but I don't want your arrogant ass no more. I loved you but I don't love you in that way no more; I just have love for your ole stupid ass. I know Dwayne better than you think so let me tell you something. you gotta remember what you allow a nigga to do he just gon' keep doing it. why? because he know you'll keep taking him backs and it looks like he has control over you. you're fine Charleston and you could have anyone you wished for. you deserve more, it'll be hard to leave if you stay with him any longer. trust me there's hella niggas that'll be happy to have someone like you but you have to find the right nigga to appreciate you and what you do, simple."

I sat back and thought about what he just said to me, it made so much sense in my head but I had to force myself to believe it.

"what did you mean when you said you knew him better than I knew?"

"is that al you got out of this? wow."

the rest of the night he was just quiet. he didn't say much to me and the car ride home was even worse than the game. I didn't wanna loose my best friend but he liked to argue and that just wasn't me. it's pointless and I know he'll get over it eventually.

{Dwayne}

once I got home I took a long hot shower and got ready for this party. it was the last game of the season and I was going to go turn up with my girl Chy. Me and Chy have hella history but I wouldn't dare tell that shit to Charleston. as far as she knows I'm going to a meeting with the team then having a few drinks afterwards.

I fixed my cargo shorts and brushed my hair. I walked downstairs and kissed Charlestons head before leaving. once I got outside I hopped in Chy car and looked at her, placing a kiss on her lips.

"let's go baby"

she smiled and backed out the drive way and sped down the road.

"when you leaving Dwayne?"

"soon ma, soon"

I told her I was leaving Charleston soon, I just didn't know how soon it would be. I planned to leave after the baby came but I just didn't know how to end things. I don't even know what's scaring me about leaving. I basically made Charleston and without me she would just crumble. I'm leaving Charleston and Imma finally be with Chy. officially.
