Let Me Love You

Chapter One

"I'm only going to ask you one more time. Who.Is.This.Helfa.In.Your.Phone?" Mila asked or more like commanded from her boyfriend.

The 5 ft. 7 tall woman crossed her arms over her chest as she stared into the dark brown hues of her lover. They haven't been together for five months but the negro was already stepping out on her.

The dark skinned man ran his hands through his dreads. His eyebrows scrunched up in frustration. He was getting sick of the woman. She was always snooping through his shit. If there was one thing he hated, it was someone mettling in his business.

"Nothing that concerns you." He replied coldly before getting up from his seat on his couch and pushing pass her to go grab a beer from the kitchen.

Mila followed him. She couldn't believe this was happening to her again.

Why did her men cheat on her? Was she not enough? What was wrong with her? Somebody needed to tell her what she was doing wrong because she didn't know.

"So..." Derick began before popping the cap off his beer and taking a sip. "Are we going to this press conference or are you gone keep bitching?" He continued while leaning on the fridge staring at her.

Mila gawked at the man before her. She didn't know why he felt the need to show his real colors at this particular moment in time, but she was glad he did. He was nothing but a disgusting pig. Just like the rest of her exes.

History was repeating itself again and Mila was not about to kick back and watch. She grabbed her purse and began to head out the mansion that belonged to her now ex boo. She deserved better and was going to find better.

"Aye Ma! Where are you going?" Derick yelled after her. He grabbed her arm to stop her but all Mila did was snatch it away from him.

"Don't you put your filthy hands on me." She spat.

Derick rolled his eyes at her. He was clearly annoyed. He thought she knew the deal when they first made their 'relationship' official. He was a ball player. What did she think was going to happen when he claimed her?

For him to be loyal?

Hell nah! She was just a trophy to show to the media that he was faithful and a occasional good fuck here and there.

That's pretty much it.

Mila was fine as hell and a good person but he was not about to cuff her up.

"I thought you knew the deal when we first started fucking MiMi. You knew damn well you weren't the only one or are you just that dense?" Derick snapped.

Mila wanted to cry at the fact that he thought she was stupid. She knew it wasn't true, but why couldn't she see the signs before. There was a reason why this kept happening to her.

"You asshole! We are fucking done. You can call that skank on your phone to go to your damn press conference with you. Lose my number." With that said, she began to proceed again out of his home.

As she walked, she could hear him mutter something on the lines of, "Fine by me babe." She just shook her head and kept moving until she reached the inside of her Nissan where she broke down into tears.

All she wanted in life was to find a good honest man to love and take care of her. That's all she wanted. Was she asking too much?

She sure as hell did not think so. In her mind, every woman should be able to find their prince charming.

At a young age, her momma taught her that God had created a man specifically for her and her only. She was beginning to lose her faith in that truth. It seemed like the young 28 year old was destined to be unhappily cheated on forever. It was a truly tragic scenario.
