U Know What's Up

Chapter Twelve: So Baby, Tell Me What's Up?

SABTI POV

I'm in court today for the arson charge. I avoided jail time and had to pay a $100,000 fine. DeVante says that he's forgiven me for the whole thing which is good, but I just don't want to be married to him anymore. What's the point!? We don't live together, sleep together, or even communicate. We only play nice with each other because our lawyers don't want any bad publicity for the both of us. I've been enjoying my semi-single life despite DeVante trying to reconcile. He didn't want me then, so I don't buy that he wants to talk about us now.

Now that's out of the way, I am headed to the airport! Tenese, Ocelean and I are heading to Antigua for a girl's vacay. We all need it! Tenese just divorced her husband D'Mon, Ocelean just broke off her engagement with her football player boo Derwin Davis, and I'm just happy I didn't have to sleep behind bars! See, what a time to be alive!

I got on the plane and within 15 hours, I was on the island with my girls. Sipping pina coladas and watching all the fine ass men serve and stare me down. If I would have known that getting this kind of attention was all that and a bag of chips,  I would have never and I do mean NEVER would have rushed into marriage so quickly. 

We went out to the club, and we were turnt. Drinking, dancing, and forgetting our problems. I was sipping on some water when I felt a pair of eyes on me. I rolled my eyes and smacked my lips, ready to fight when I realized that the guy staring at me was none other than my ex, Tyson Beckford. Yes, that Tyson  Beckford: supermodel and businessman. We dated on-an-off for five years and it was a crazy time. We almost got married but I changed my mind when I realized that Tyson wasn't the man I wanted him to be. Tenese and Ocelean were giggling when he walked up to me. 

This nigga....

MEANWHILE BACK IN THE U.S. (LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA)

CHRIS POV

It's been two months since Sabti told me that we were done. I don't believe for 10 seconds that this is true. I slipped up and cheated, but why is she tripping? She's cheating on her husband with me! I don't care what Sabti says, we're not over until it's over. I was just playing on my iPad when I saw some pictures on the blog with her and Tyson Beckford. The caption read, "SABTI ZUNIGA SWINGS ON OLD FLAME TYSON BECKFORD." So that's why she was so quick to cut me off, she's smashing this nigga too! 

BACK TO ANTIGUA....

SABTI POV

Tyson and I were walking along the beach. It was a beautiful night but I couldn't be with him, not like this. It would be too hard, going back to the past when I need to focus on the future. I love him.

Me: Ty, how have you been? It's been a while!

He pulled me into a hug. I can't help but smile, it brought back so many feelings to see him again but I ain't going down that road with him again!

Tyson: I miss you. Do you miss me?

Me: I do. 

Tyson: I've thought so much about you over the years....

Me: I'm ma---

Tyson: Married? Miserably married, but still married. 

Me: Listen, I have a lot going on. That---

Tyson: I know we didn't have the greatest relationship, but I still love you. I don't care that I have to wait for you, I need you to---

Me: Tyson, please!

I sighed and looked him in the eyes.

Me: I don't love you the way I used to. It's been 15 years and I can't be with you again.  Not like this. I just know that you are an incredible man, but I can't be the incredible woman you need, nor will I ever be. We broke up because you weren't the man I wanted you to be, and I can't be with you again because I'm not the woman you need me to be. I'm sorry.

He pulled me into another hug and light kiss. Wiping the tears from my eyes, he told me that he understood but nevertheless would always wait for me to change because I have his heart. 

EN ROUTE BACK TO THE U.S. .....

Ugh, back to reality. I don't know what to do about this love triangle, square, hexagon, octagon, or whatever this is! My husband and I are still legally married but for some reason don't want to divorce each other, I'm still hanging onto the hope that Chris will come around and now my ex still loves me too! Why is this shit so difficult? Why does love have to be so complicated? 

I made it back home just in time for me to  relax and chill out. I wasn't fully in the door when the voicemail came on....

Chris: You really trying me, straight up. I know the reason you left me the way you did is because you were still hung up on ya ex. Really Sabti? I thought you were different, but it turns out you just like all these other hoes....ain't loyal to shit. Not even ya panties. Not only were you cheating on your husband, but on me too. So we all a bunch of cheaters in this bitch, huh? I loved you, nah I still love you....even if you are a selfish bitch. 

I groaned loudly and screamed. 

How did I get myself in this position???
