Mike James
When I walked into the house it was quiet as hell. I could see a few boxes here and there. Hell we were going to have to move out if we would've lost the condo. But thanks to God sending Mel to us we didn't have to worry about that anymore. But I knew there were going to be some major changes in our relationship, if she couldn't accept them then there was no point in getting married. This was Brit third and final strike with me.
I walked toward our bedroom and there were more boxes. I decided to put everything back since we didn't have to leave anymore.
After spending an hour unpacking and putting everything back where it belonged Brit was home. I had gotten over my initial shock of what she did and I was just ready to move past all of this. I really was.
"Oh my God, Mike!" She screamed and jumped on me. She kissed all over my face apologizing for getting us into this situation. She even broke down saying that she wished there was more she could do and how she'd do anything to turn back the hands of time. I pushed her off of me. I ignored the hurt expression that came across her face. Kisses wasn't what I needed at a time like this.
"We need to talk." I said. She looked at me fearful, confused, and hurt.
"Mike please don't leave me. I know I fucked up, but please we can get passed this. I promise-"
"Britney, shut the fuck up and listen." I said sternly. She closed her mouth and looked at me wide eyed. "Sit down." I state. She does as she's told.
"First, I want to start off by saying that what you did really made me not trust you anymore. You betrayed me for some fairy tale ass wedding and instead of coming and talking to me - like you should have - you went behind my back and broke our family in half. You didn't think about the outcome or what would happen if I would've found out at the last minute. I almost started slanging again because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get the money. It never occurred to you that some things just aren't meant to have?" She looked away ashamed. I shook my head. "Secondly, how can I trust you knowing that not only did you go over budget, but you also went behind my back and paid someone to look like me and forge my signature on documents! You know how much time you and whoever it was could serve in jail for impersonating someone and forging someone's signature?! No! You don't fucking think, Britney!" I was yelling by the end of my speech. Just going thru this all over again has made me mad as fuck. Brit was crying my now.
"Mike I'm so - so sorry. I never meant for this to happen. I-I just got carried away. Please just don't leave me, please. I'll do anything to make things right with you, us, our family." She pleaded crying her eyes out. I snatched my hand from her hold.
"I don't think that we could ever move forward from this. I just don't trust you anymore." I said honestly. She cried harder. I just looked at her. She shouldn't be crying ' cause she knew what type of man I am and this crying she for the birds.
"I'll - I'll get the money." She sobbed.
"How? You finna go sale your ass on the corner? Shake your ass on a pole? Slang some dope? Rob a bank? Huh? How?" I asked even though it had already been paid today. But she didn't know that. I just wanted to see what she would say.
"I'll get a job or maybe two and I can help with some of the payments." She said.
"How when the shit due at the end of this week?!" I asked. Her shoulders slumped over. "Exactly. You didn't think about this shit before and now look at how things turned out for us." I said shaking my head.
"Mike-" I held up my hand stopping her. I pulled the receipt out of my pocket and threw it on the table.
"I paid it, but for now on everything I own is mine and everything you own is yours. Don't ask me for shit anymore. Get a damn job. I can't trust you anymore, so how can I ever marry someone I can never trust? This is just something I can't get over. I just can't." I said and got up and walked out the room, leaving her sitting there. I walked into our bedroom and flopped down on the bed. I rubbed my hand down my face and sighed. Life sure did come with its many obstacles.

I watched as Mike walked out the room. I wiped my face and picked up the receipt showing where he had paid it all off. Instantly my mind started to ask questions: Where did he get the money from? Did someone give it to him? How did he get the money so fast? Did he lie about not slanging? All I wanted to do is know how?
I got up and walked toward our bedroom. I had questions and Mike was the only one with the answers. When I walked in he was laying on the bed with his arm covering his eyes.
"Where did you get the money to pay for this?" I demanded. He ignored me.
"Mike?! I know you hear me talking to you!" I said.
"I have no choice but to hear your loud ass. Leave me alone." He said in a dismissive tone.
"Who the fuck you talking to like that? I know I fucked up, but you will not talk to me like that. Now tell me how you got the money to pay for this?!" I said getting louder toward the end.
"It's paid and that's all you need to know. Now get out my face with all that yelling and demanding shit. You don't have the right to know a damn thing, just like I didn't when you went behind my back and did this stupid shit. Now go get my son and bring him home." He said. I closed my mouth not saying anything. I just stormed out the room and went to get our son from Quinta and Dre house.
《《《》》》
"So you don't know where he got the money from?" Quinta asked me for the hundredth time. I was really getting annoyed. We had been sitting in her kitchen for two hours now talking about the same damn thing ice went over and over a million times.
"Quinta damn you can't hear?! No I don't know for the millionth God damn time!" I snapped. She threw her hands up in surrender.
"So what you going to do about the wedding that's in almost two weeks?" She asked. I shrugged.
"There might not even be a wedding. Mike says he's done with me so I need to start making calls and letting people know." I said with a deep sigh. Why did I have to be so stupid? I ask wanted to marry Mike. He's my soul mate.
"Damn." Was all she said.
"Where Dre?" I asked changing the subject. She shrugged.
"I don't know. He left early this morning before I woke up." She said.
"Did you tell him about you and Gotti?" I asked. I watched as she flinched hearing Gotti's name.
"No." She mumbled with tears starting to form.
"Why are you crying?" I asked.
"He - He found out about it." He said. I looked at her.
"How?" I asked.
"Someone sent him pictures of Gotti and I hanging out and the kiss." She said.
"Do you know who did it?" I asked. She shook her head no.
"I thought it was Mel so..." She trailed off.
"So what? What did you do Quinta?" I asked. I hope it wasn't nothing stupid.
"I kinda went over to Mel house and when I did I accused her of sending the pictures, I slapped and kneed her boyfriend in the balls, we fought, they pointed guns at me, she laughed in my face, said some shit, and I ran the hell up outta there." She said. I bust out laughing. I couldn't help it. Even I know not to run up in Mel house. I love my life too much. When I finished laughing Quinta was mugging me.
"It's not funny!" She snapped. I laughed some more.
"Quinta I-I can't..." I couldn't help it. This was just too funny. What could've possessed her to do such a thing?
"Get out my house!" She yelled.
"Wait! Quinta I'm sorry." I said trying to hold a straight face, but I couldn't.
"Leave!" She demanded.
"Okay, okay I'm leaving. EJ let's go." I said still chuckling. I couldn't help myself. That just made my day. EJ can from the back with Chastity.
"EJ tell Chastity bye." I said. Quinta was still glaring at me. She can't be mad 'cause she got caught, but you got to admit her pulling something as dumb as that is funny. After we said our goodbyes we left. Now all I have to do is get on Mike's good side again. I love him too much to lose him like I did, again.
