She shrugged , "I know. But your little friend was irritating, so I broke the news."

"Are you keeping it?" I asked.

"Of course. This could be the best thing that happens to me."

"You just want to keep it because it came from me."

"True , but that's not the whole truth. I've always wanted to be a mother Davon. That's all I wanted , plus the head spot at the company. I wanted to always have a successful life." She explained.

"So you wanted to come between my family, just to have a baby and take over a company me and my wife built from the floor up?" I asked with confusion. 

"Yes. Pretty much. Don't worry , I will tell Carol it was all my fault. She might fire me from the company , but I'll find another company to work at. I was at the top of my classes in college , so anyone would be welcomed to have me as their assistant. As far as the baby , you don't have to do anything for our baby. I'll be there to take care of it." She said.

"No. No Jasmine. If that's my child , I will take care of it. That's what I was always afraid of. Neglecting my child. I'd never ever in a million years not take care of what's mine."

She looked at me , "I have an appointment set to look at a couple of houses. I've made enough to move in something bigger than what I was originally about to live. I'm sorry things went this way between us and you and Carol. You two were perfect and I regret being a home wrecker."

"It's okay. You're young. You have plenty of trail and errors. Just know that I'll always be here for you as long as that baby is in your stomach." I smiled hugging her. 

"Thanks. I'm gonna go to bed now." She said kissing my cheek , then leaving the room.

THE WEEKEND.

CAROL'S POV--------

"Did you call him yet?" Mama asked.
She wanted me to talk to Davon and get some closure.

"Yes mama. I called him. " I sighed , folding Davis's clothes, so he could spend the weekend with his terrible excuse of a father.

"And what did he say?" she asked.

"He was saying how he was sorry , but I had to remind him that the sorry he's been giving me all these years are played out. I've had it with him. I told him we were separated."

"You and Dad are getting a divorce?" Davis asked walking into the room , overhearing our conversation.

"Davis honey , come here." I said, setting the clothes down.

I hugged him,. "Your dad and I aren't getting a divorce. We're just having a disagreement that's all."

He looked at me , "disagreement about what? Is it about Jasmine?"

"Honey. Whatever it's about , just know that your dad and I loves you very very much and there's nothing or no one that can come between the love we have for you" I kissed his forehead. "Go get your toothbrush and toothpaste from the cabinet and get your video games."

He ran to get his things.

"You're a good mother Carol." My mama said smiling. 

"Learned it from the best." I smiled back.

--------------------

I arrived to Davon's house and blew the horn. I wasn't dare going to step a foot inside that house.

He walked outside. He did look fine , but I was past that. He always looked good , anybody knew that.

"Hey. " He said grabbing Davis's play station.

"Hello." I said , not even looking at him.

"How you been?" He asked. 

"Fine."

"How long are you going to keep this up?" He sighed.

"I told you , I am done. Now could you hurry up , I have somewhere to be.
I took Freckleman up on that date he offered me , he didn't know that it was just going to be me attending though.

"Okay. Fine." He said grabbing the rest of his things. "I'll call you later. Please answer."

I didn't say anything , just drove off.

--------------

"You look great tonight Mrs.Welkins." James Freckleman said.

"Please call me Carol and why thank you. You look good as well."

"Thanks honey. Where's Davon? I reserved for three."

"Oh he's not going to be able to make it tonight." I said.

"Oh , and why is that?" He folded his arms. 

"Davon and I aren't together anymore." I smiled.

"What? Why not? You two were like Jay and Bey!" He said.

I giggled , "Everything is not what it seems. I promise you. We were not like Jay and Bey. Maybe around the office , but behind closed doors it was another story."

"Was it Ike and Tina?" He asked.

"No. No. No. He's been cheating on me multiple times and I just so happen to catch him again."

"May I ask with who?" He asked.

"Jasmine. Jasmine Toliver. My assistant."

"No. Not her she's young."

I shrugged , "Hey , he's always had a thing for young girls I guess. He said that she's manipulating, she probably is , but he needs to learn how to say no!" I said. "Who knows how long they've been seeing each other. That's the only question that's roams through my head all day!"

He got up and sat by me , "It's okay Carol. You know I'm here for you. I was there before you even married Davon. I ain't going no where no time soon. Can't leave a beautiful lady like you unattended." He said kissing my hand.

I blushed , "James , you don't have to be nice to me because you found out I was cheated on."

"No it's nothing like that. I've always wanted to be your man. Davon just beat me to the punch. You know that. You knew I was trying to get with you a while back."

I nodded , "Yes I do. I'm sorry. I should've chose you. Maybe you would've treated me better."

"Without a doubt you know it."

After he said that , I kissed him. I just needed to , I wanted to. I liked the way James made me feel wanted.

"Dinner was nice. Thanks for taking me out and showing me a good time." I smiled.

We we're sitting in front of my mom's house. I felt like a teenager again.

"No problem Ms.Carol. Anything for the beautiful queen." He caressed my face.

"You always make me blush. Oh my goodness." I said laughing.

He smiled , "I rather make you blush than make you cry."

"Keep that attitude and I'll show you more than a blush and a smile." I winked.

He chuckled , "Whatever lady. I have to go. I'll call you tomorrow okay?"

"Okay."I kissed his lips, which were soft and juicy.

When I pulled back he got out the car and opened the door for me.

I got out and kissed him again.
"See you later."
