( Gonna fast forward a year 😂 )
A year after Robyn leaves
F e n t y, R o b y n
"You like that baby?" Christian asked as he stroked in and out of me.
"Mmm yeah." I moaned responsively.
"Uhh." His shoulders hunched as he quickened his thrusts. A few seconds later he came inside of me. He pulled out and got out of bed.
He walked into the bathroom and soon after the shower turned on.
I laid there quietly, rubbing my stomach in small circles.
This past year has been a roller coaster. In the beginning, I always fought back. I was a pain in the ass and I thought he'd lose his temper and send me packing, but he never did. So, I played along. I was the perfect girlfriend, thinking that would catch him off guard, but nope. That seemed to fuel his ego.
Now, I'm 3 months pregnant with his child. I had never in my life thought that I'd have a baby.... This would complicate things even more now.
I hated how long it had been since I last saw Jhene. I knew me leaving would look bad, but I would fix everything eventually.
"Bye baby." Christian said as he buttoned his shirt.
"Bye." I replied.
He gave me a sloppy kiss before leaving. I got up and got into the shower. I washed away the scent of him on me. I washed away the guilt and disgust.
When my skin was an irritated pink, I turned off the water and got out. I wrapped my towel around my body and stepped out of the tub.
I dressed and grabbed my laptop from the bedside table. I opened it up and a few seconds later the FaceTime call connected.
"Biiiihhhhhh!" Mel said. "You lookin' fine boo."
I rolled my eyes. "Lies. I look fat."
"I miss yo fat ass tho." Mel pouted.
"I miss you too boo. We'll be reunited soon, I promise." I sighed.
I hadn't had contact with anyone from back home. It really hurt my heart to be away from my businesses, my friends, and my family.
"Well bitch lemme give you this tea." Mel said.
I laughed. "Alright, what's been going on?"
"You ain't gone believe this but Onika done got married." Mel shook her head. "She runnin round town flaunting that dollar store ass ring."
I was shocked. "This bitch done tried to ruin relationships and some dumbass nigga wifed her. That's crazy."
"Exactly." Mel took a sip of her drink.
"How's Bey, Kel and CiCi doing?"
Mel looked away. She cleared her throat before speaking. "We're not on good terms anymore. Everybody's doing their own thing and we just fell off." She shrugged.
I sighed, feeling my mood sour. "How could y'all throw away years of friendship?"
"You were the one that kept us together! You leaving us made things take a turn for the worse. I know you left to keep your family safe, but when you left a lot of things changed." Mel said.
"Like what?" I couldn't help but aak.
"A lot Rob... I don't want to put this weight on your shoulders, so you'll see when you get back."
"We don't have much time left, so how's Jhene doing?" I asked.
Mel bit her lip and took another sip of her drink. "She's doing great. She's finally smiling again."
"There's more huh?"
"She's with someone now." Mel said slowly, watching my reaction.
I chewed on my bottom lip and nodded.
Of course she'd move on. I had been gone for over a year and she wasn't going to wait on me forever. I was glad this new person was treating her well.
"I'm happy for her." I said sincerely.
I wouldn't want her to suffer like I am. I'm glad she met someone who can fix the broken heart I left her with.
"I gotta go Rob. I love you."
"I love you too Mel."
The FaceTime call disconnected and I put my laptop back on the night stand.
I laid on my side and rubbed my stomach.
Should I really leave? There was so much that had changed back home, would me coming back only cause more drama?
I need to do what's best for my child. Being here with Christian is not safe. He could lose his temper and put me and my baby in danger. I couldn't let that happen.
It was time to go home.
I got out of bed and made my way downstairs. I slid on some flip flops and got into my car. It was always extremely hot in Texas. I would take 3 showers a day to wash away the sweat, and now that I'm pregnant, I seemed to sweat like a pig. It was highly disgusting.
I went to the store to get the things I would need and went back home. Christian would be home in about an hour so I sped up my pace to get everything ready.
I had just finished setting the table when he walked into the house. "Baby?"
"In the dining room."
A few seconds later I felt his arms around my waist. "Hey beautiful."
"Hey." I pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Go wash up for dinner."
He nodded and went into the half bathroom down the hall.
I made his plate first and sprinkled a special ingredient into his mashed potatoes.
I sat down and fixed my plate and then waited for him.
"This smells amazing." Christian said with a smile on his face as he sat down. I nodded and took a bite of my steak.
"How was your day?" I asked.
"Boring. All I could think about was getting back home to my beautiful girlfriend and unborn child." He smiled.
I shook my head. "That's nice."
After about 20 minutes, I was positive it was settling into his system.
I stood up and laid a hand on my stomach. "I'm tired."
"Go lay down." He slurred.
I laughed. "No, I'm tired of pretending. I'm tired of putting on these fake smiles to please you. I'm tired of letting you stick your dick in me. I'm just really tired of you." I grabbed the knife from the table and pulled the table out of the way.
"Did you really think I could love you after all the shit you pulled? Did you think I would forget the fact that you had your lil niggas shoot her?" I chuckled as I swung the knife down into his hand. I then grabbed another one and did the same thing to his other hand, all while he screamed out in pain.
"You ruined my life for the last time." I grabbed the butcher knife and drove it into his heart and turned it. His eyes widened as blood poured out of his mouth.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the gasoline. I poured it all over him then trailed it up stairs and through every room in the house. I stood outside on the porch and lit a match. I threw it and watched as the fire erupted. I smirked and poured the remaining gas in his car. I threw a match in and watched as the flames rose. I got into my car and drove away.
I'd finally be free. There was no way my past could come back again. I was headed back home where I belonged and I'd work on rebuilding my life.
