Lloyd wasn't sure how to go to monique to tell her he would like a divorce, it's been almost two week since he told her about the baby on the way, she was still angry about it for she haven't said a word to him since each time he's there and she look at him it was with disgust it was almost as if they were back to where they were before now it didn't bother him much now, he got to the house before she did on Thursday since he told her about the baby they haven't been sharing room again she started closing it once more, but he came to find it open now he went in picking up the few things that came back to take out, he open the drawer that has her underwear in it going through it he found some receipts under them some from a long time, a few recent he found the receipt from the ring and cringed he still Can't believe she stole the wedding ring, he unfold a paper and the word abortion came in his vision, it was a reminder of the fact his wife took an abortion and it was because she was sick he wonder if he was too reluctant to notice she was sick and got pregnant thinking he didn't thought it through when he told her about the baby, he still haven't learn what sickens it was that make her doctor took such hasty decisions, he strolled down the paper with eyes and fingers but no sickness name he came back to the top the date on it make him open his eyes a bit wider the date was saying August in the late twenties those times he and her wasn't sleeping together it was a long time at first he was thinking she was pregnant but to the time he was thinking that and by then she would show she would be too late for that to happen if they were going to take the baby it would be like some time, take some monitoring even for her to be admitted for to the time they slept together and the time of the abortion she probably would even give birth he look the paper over again sigh for he wonder what he wasn't clear on what he was missing but definitely he was missing something,
"When did you do the abortion?" Lloyd ask soon as monique came in the door,
She look up at him he held the piece of paper up to her,
Monique look up at it, "it was, it was" she bite her lips "sometimes in February , no March"
"March how comes?" He ask, for here it's saying August" he was sure that they weren't having sex around those times for her to become pregnant to take an ababortion in those times, "what am I missing here?"
"It's a mistake I told you its between those times, are you doubting me you think I'm lying"
"About your sickness what did the doctor told you about that for I, I haven't learn yet what is wrong"
Don't act to be concerned now, you got a baby on the way"
"If you hadn't pushed me away none of that would have happened she open up for me when I needed that one moment of love and affection she gave it to me and didn't care what time or where"
"What kind of bitch sleep with a married man?"
"There would be no one else I've love you my whole life back then I felt I didn't know you I made appointment so we could have counselling you made me look foolish for I had to go on my own just to talk to someone about it"
"It's not like you haven't already told mark and his bitch our business"
"I told mark and you know what he said it must be work stress, but now I want to believe it's more to it"
"What you trying to say?" Monique ask stepping closer to lloyd,
"For get it"
"I told you lloyd I got the date all wrong I'm not sure if it was the pill they gave me but all I know I'm telling you the truth"
Lloyd look at her but she wasn't looking straight at him, he reach across her to took his things off the table going to the room down the hall she call after him but he just shut the door,
Monique Ross the cushions step over them and went to the bed room she barely close the door when the phone rang,
"What is it you want?" She shout on hearing Laurence voice,
"I seems to got the wrong number I'm to call your husband" he said hanging up,
She dial his number back but it turn up busy, she push her head out the door and hear lloyd's phone ringing she went down to listen if it really was Laurence calling him, but from the line of his conversation he couldn't tell and she couldn't hear everything,
She ran ip the hall way when she heard his footsteps to sat on the sofa he came up to go to the kitchen followed him there, he was grinning as he talk with mark, shelly and the others on the three way call, mark, shelly, odane and nelisa hang up leaving him with aliyah he turn and saw monique "I'll call you a little later" he said
"Yes" aliyah answered handing up he shove the phone in his pocket
"Was that her?" Monique ask
Lloyd didn't answer
"Why did you hang up? You could go a head and talk it wouldn't bother me one bit"
"I didn't hang up because you're here, I simply hang up because I want to" he hiss turns to the refrigerator to take something to eat,
He turn around to find she was still there, he went around her
She watched him out the kitchen, before going back to the room, monique ripped up the paper curse Laurence, curse herself for being so stupid he brought her in to this if he never gone to do stupid things bringing other women in his life they could still be together now he took everything from her she was left to scrabble with what little she's working for since Billy case no big money came her way, and her husband only pay the bills now she thought about the baby he got on the way, the one she couldn't carry, it turn out to be a rough night one that seems was going to follow her all the rest of her life for she wasn't sure when her husband would leave then it was going to be up to her by herself to keep a roof over her head,
Aliyah lift her head off the pillow at six thirty in the morning she figured it to be nelisa, shelly or lloyd calling she could expect them to especially lloyd when he didn't stay over, "I'm still sleeping you people" she said
"I'm sorry" a voice aliyah remembered but wasn't really familiar with she sat up, "Bessie!" She said surprise to heard from her,

"Say what!?" Nelisa shout, causing almost every one to look their way, "so it was his baby" she said talking low she turn to look at aliyah with open mouth,
"It look as though because Laurence not bothered with her she is trying her way with her husband, I always thought she was no good for him",
"Did you date him?" Aliyah ask

After the morning session and Roma was ready to leave he invited her to come to the house party she's having on Saturday and to bring him,
Aliyah agrees bid her and her family goodbye before going off to the restroom, while there she recalls the first time she came in contact with Lloyd sexually it was in this bathroom she wasn't dwelling on that day anymore for with Lloyd a girl can never tell when the best going to come he just keeps getting better every day,

"I'll look into my schedule and see what i can do, I'll contact you"
"You got to check with her right"
"Who my wife?"
"You don't need to ask your wife permission , I'm talking the pretty one aliyah"
Lloyd turn his eyes,
"By the way are you willing to leave your wife for her?"
"Why you ask?"
"I've try for many years to get with her and you haven't known her for what a year, we might not be cool but she's one of the best woman I know and I can tell you this she will take care of you"
Lloyd nod, Laurence pat his shoulder "I'll be with a listening ear"

Lloyd roll his head he pick up half a dozen Wipcream as he had came to the store to do before he heads over to aliyah's he got some Indian food as well hoping to catch her before she starts cooking he got there a head off her because like him she stop to shop for Wipcream and with that a new bottle of Italian barolo and some caviar flavored beluga with sterlet and pink salmon,
Lloyd was setting the table when she walk through the door "ah oh nice Italian food, I guess I picked up the right bottle of wine" lloyd smile, he help her to take the things out the bag to put on the table, "more whip cream?" He ask
"What you don't want to?" She ask

"Well let's deal with it later right now I don't want my baby eating dinner cold" he kiss her aliyah grin at him rub his cheek,
They both enjoy dinner did the dishes together Lloyd by himself drank the bottle of wine with caviar he was on the last glass now and from the sound of his speaking he sounded like an horny stallion when she turned to looked at him she became frightened from the look in his eyes and the way his hardness push at his pants she remember him asking if she ever had it rough she did have it rough it was how she started out but she doesn't want to have it rough with him she want what they share to be different from what they share with other partners he pull her to the room with her on shaking feet, he pushed her to a sitting position on the bed aliyah felt like a little girl about to be asualt by an over grown man she dragged herself up to the head of the bed resting into the pillows he back his shirt off coming to her she didn't notice before he has shove Wip creams in his pockets
"You don't have to look so nervous I'm not going to hurt you"
"I doubt from what you have drink you'll have any control over it"
"just know you won't be hurt,
Aliyah lift her head to grin at Lloyd laying on his back next to her, he smirk pinch her nose "I live up to my promise haven't I?" He ask
She grin and nodded she lay in his arms hug him across the chest,
"Baby I got something to say its important"
"What?" She ask
"It's about the job for Laurence Laurence he's beginning me to help him out"
"You want to do it?"
Lloyd thought of how to answer nod finally
"It's up to you, just be careful and don't let him invite you to no where you go in do what you're doing and get out of there"
Lloyd laugh, lean I'm and kiss her, he held her tightly to him and he lay thinking back on what Laurence had said about aliyah it was so true it was clearer now that she's perfect for him,
Lloyd sat in his office to call Laurence "I think I might be able to do that work for you" he said
Laurence smile fold his fist "you can that's go, that's good"
"I'll get started started next week"
"I appreciate it, thank you"
They ended the conversation with Laurence saying "I look forward to seeing you"
Lloyd rest the phone down ease back in his chair as he thou heavily on the man, who could have had a relationship with his wife he thought about asking and wondered what he would say,
"Lloyd is actually going to work for Laurence" aliyah told the girls while they talk in the afternoon on three way,
"He's going to?" Nelisa ask
"I said it was ok warned him to be careful"
"I don't think he's out to get to him" shelly said
"What if he is?" Nelisa said being curious "he was with his wife, and he wants you aliyah and found that you're in love with him, he can't have you and probably don't want him to"
"Nelisa!" Aliyah called to her and they giggled
"I am finally going to do the job for Laurence" Lloyd told Monique
"You're why, you see what he did to me and you still want to work for him",
"What is that, you told me you didn't know him"
"I defended someone he knew and it didn't go well"
"And what he did?"
"He rob the house and rob meat the mall"
"You didn't know who rob you at the mall"
"I didn't know then"
"I'm taking the job Monique I still have bills to pay" he said walking away
"Yeah and a baby on the way"
Lloyd turn to look at her but said nothing he just goes down the
hall to the room, she couldn't believe him to be doing that she went to her room call Laurence he pick up coming on the line with a giggle, "so your husband gave you the good news?"
"Why you doing this Laurence?" She ask
"Hey it's not about you Monique I just want my work to be done I can bet you neither of us going to talk about you at any point"
"Why?"
"Because we both have someone better in mind to talk about"
"Who?"
"You'll know soon enough" he hang up and she call out his name, lloyd came to the living room to hear her, push the door to ask what happened "why you saying Laurence name?"
"I was, I was just saying I can't believe you're going to work for that bastard"
Lloyd shook his head turn the door and left,
Lloyd got to office a bit later today as he had to battle the traffic from rockdale it is always easier getting there from aliyah's place but she wants to move closer to nelisa so he have to not get use to not getting caught in traffic he went to the lawyer's office to see him he was in and wasn't busy at the time, "I want to get a divorce he said
He look up at him
Lloyd pull a chair and sat down
"You want to?"
He nod
"Give me a deadline"
"Today" he said
His lawyer smile
"I'll work on it"
He nod got up and left for his office, later that evening he swings by to see his parents his mother was glad to see him talk excitedly about aliyah and her baby asked more than once how she was doing,
"Give her my love" they both told him,
