Living Affair

four

Staring up into his eye as he stared back at her Kacey could see the hurt in his eyes. She felt horrible about her actions and just wanted everything to be how it was before.

"If you don't wanna leave that's fine. But every day we spend up in the bitch ima make yo life a livin Hell. And that's on my momma."

"I'm am sorry." She cried while touching his arm.

"Man whatever." He shook his head at her. He stepped over the bag she knocked out of his hand. Kacey watched him walk out of the closet and went after him. She didn't want him to leave her. Before he could walk out she ran over to him and wrapped her arms around his torso with her head laying on his chest.

He sucked his teeth and took a deep breath. "Kacey let go of me."

"Please." She begged while holding onto him, tightly. "Please don't do this to me, Montana. I'm sorry."

"I ain't gone say it again." He spoke sternly but Kacey still didn't let go. Montana huffed before prying her hands off of him. She put up a fight but failed as the door slammed in her face.

"I fucking love you!" She shouted as she sobbed in her hands.

Kacey shook her head thinking back to what happened earlier this afternoon. She couldn't believe he had tried to kick her out of her own house. Her name was on the lease just as much as his was. Kacey was tired of how he was treating her. She didn't like how he was treating her like some random bitch or someone he very much disliked. She knew he was unhappy with their marriage but she was trying.

Today she was heading down to the park to help hand out turkeys with Montana for the people in need. One thing Kacey loved doing way helping others out because that's who she was. She loved to give back to her people. Reaching into her purse she pulled out her ringing phone. Looking over the contact it read No Caller ID.

Sighing to herself she already knew who it was. He kept blowing her up from different numbers and texting her, no matter how many ever times she constantly blocked and deleted his number he would still call. She would of changed her number but she knew that would of added onto her problems with Montana already. Sliding answer she placed the phone on speaker.

"Hello." She spoke into the phone. Not getting a response she knew someone was on the other line because she could hear them breathing.

"Can you meet me over on 120th avenue?" He finally said into the phone.

"I don't th-"

"Please Kacey? I just wanna talk."

Montana carried over the rest of the turkeys to the table before fixing his coat. "Here y'all go." He handed two turkeys to a lady with her two daughter's there with her he assumed.

"Thank you so much." She exclaimed, gratefully. "God bless you." She smiled before walking away with the two girls. He smiled at the lady as she walked away. He was happy at how much turkeys they had gave away and the bright smile on each person's face.

Looking around he seen Kacey hadn't shown up.

He was surprised because Kacey always showed up to help out, and he knew it wasn't because of their issues. She was able to fake it and didn't have a problem with being around Montana dispute everything going on with them. Looking over at his watch he looked at the time frowning. It was going on 5 o'clock and she should of been there from around four. Seeing tiara sitting down on her phone he walked over to her.

Walking over there she hadn't noticed Montana causing him to snatch her phone out her hand.

"Mother-" She said before looking up seeing it was just Montana. "Oo." She pointed her white painted coffin nail at him. "You were real close to getting popped in your shit."

"Shiver me Timbers." He threw his hands up in the air as Tiara chuckled. He held her phone out to her and she snatched it. "You look tired."

"That's because I am." She laughed. "When I tell you a bitch is hungover a bitch is—I went out yesterday and drunk a whole bottle of tequila and that shit is getting back to me." She rolled her eyes.

"You crazy." He shook his head. "You seen Kacey anywhere?"

"Nope. I called her but she didn't answer her phone. I didn't call back cause it might've been dead and that girl seem to not know when to charge her phone—I was gonna ask you but I was too lazy to get up."

"We'll I definitely don't know where she at if I'm asking." He shoved his hands in his jean pockets, thinking about what Kacey could be doing.

"You not concerned?"

Montana shrugged his shoulders. "Wherever she is, is obviously more important than being here so....."

"She's still your wife. Y'all made a commitment to each other. Y'all have a son together? If you not happy with her why you still with her?"

"Man." He ran his hand down his face. "It's complicated, Aight. I do love her. I just can't rap my head around the fact-"

"That she cheated." She finished his statement, nodding her head because she understood from his point of view. "Look, Montana communication is the key." She stood up from the chair.  "If you really want the marriage to work out just talk to her." She said before walking away leaving him lost in his thoughts.
