Falling (Sequel To Losing My Balance)

Part 12

Ali P.o.v.

Dress store. 11:58am.

5 months later.

"Ali, what do you think about this dress?" I looked over at Laila and Daya and shook my head silently.

"You've turned down every dress and you havent even looked at them properly or even tried them on." Daya complained rubbing her growing belly. "Im tired."

"Then go home Daya. I have like 3 more months to find a dress." Daya rolled her eyes.

"Lets go get something to eat." Laila cheered trying to lighten up the mood. Daya and I followed behind Laila out the door and to her car.

So things with Rayan and Craig havent gotten any better. Craig has been going out of town more often and we've been arguing a whole lot more. Im getting more closer to Ray and its scaring me because I find myself wanting to hang out with Ray over Craig. And Craig has been gon so often that getting Ari to forgive him is getting harder. She's also getting very close with Ray too. Not to mention that Ray and I had sex many times when I was pissed at Craig for leaving. I know its bad and its only gonna get worst if I dont tell Craig the truth. I've been thinking about canceling the wedding too.

"Ali, did you hear me?" Daya asked? I quickly focused on her.

"No, im sorry. I wasnt paying attention. What were u saying?" I asked.

" I asked if you could watch Bella and Dj tonight." She said.

"Sure. Its fine." I said agreeing.

"Ali, you're not yourself. Are you okai? Is everything with Craig alright?" Laila questioned. Shit, I wish.

"Yea, im fine." I sighed. "things with Craig isn't though. He's always gone and im starting to think he's cheating on me." I should ne the last to talk about cheating.

"Craig's a good guy. He would never do anything like that. Especially to his best friend and soon to be wife." Laila said. I shook my head.

"Thats just it. We arent as close as we used to be and we're growing apart. I even cheated on him. Im thinking about calling off the whole thing." I confessed.

"Ali, are u serious" Daya looked at me sympathetically. "If you're not happy then leave. Because im pretty sure if you're this unhappy then he is too." She said.

There was a long silence until we pulled up infront of Cheesecake Factory. After we got seated, we ordered. After we got our food, we started to eat and talk.

"So, Darius and I are finding out the sex of the baby next week." Daya smiled. After reality set in, Zendaya was very happy to be having another baby. She ever so badly wanted a boy.

"Thats great. Once u kno, u can stop talking about how bad u want a boy." I said. Laila and I laughed.

"Oh shut up. But once I find out its a boy, you all will have to help me pick out a name." She stuck her tongue out at us as we groaned.

Soon after we finished eating, Laila took Daya and I home since she had to study for a test in one of her college classes. I walked into the house and seen Craig pacing in the living room with the phone plastered to his ear. Ari was sitting on the couch screaming her head off and Rory was trying to calm her down.

"Ali, what the hell! I told u to be home an hour ago because I have a flight to catch!" He yelled over Ari's crying.

"Craig shut the fuck up ! Missing one flight isnt gonna kill you! And im mad that ur on the phone trying to make flight arrangements when theres clearly something wrong with our daughter!" I yelled in his face before I went over to Ari and picked her up and started to hush her. Once calmed down I asked her whats wrong.
