Twan

"Oh hey Twan." She smiled and pushed her hair back from her face.

"Wassup?" I stepped back, sliding my hands in my pockets.

"Oh nothing. Just meeting a client and was on my way out to meet my sister. What are you doing here and where is Nedra?"

"Home. Well it was good to see you." I smiled and walked around her.

"Twan!" She yelled and I turned around waiting for her to say what she needed to say.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm good, but thanks for asking." I turned and left her staring after me.

I wasn't one of those men that just because I had issues in my marriage, I would open up to the next female about my problems. That's how things turn into unwanted drama. Sure it would be easy for me to go out and fuck the next broad, but even though my wife hurt me, I don't have the heart to go out and do what she did to me.

I sighed and headed to the elevators. I had no idea where I was going, but all I knew was that I needed to get out and clear my head. All I was doing was thinking and the more I thought the more my heart broke. I really wanted to go see my lil man, but right now I didn't want to deal with Nedra. I stepped on the elevator and pressed the floor for the lobby.

I leaned back against the wall and closed my eyes. Never in a million years would I have thought this shit would have happened. It makes a nigga feel less than a man. This shit is just crazy as hell. The elevator doors opened and I stepped off heading to my pearl grey BMW. I hit the keyless entry and stepped inside. I sat there for a moment and finally started the car.

As soon as the radio came on of all the songs that could play it was, I Don't Ever Want To See You Again. In my mind that's how I felt, but in my heart it was something else. Matters of heart can be something else. This love shit and marriage shit is hard work.

My mind trailed back to the good times we had. I could only smile. I remember the first time we met back in Victoria's Secret. I knew once I laid my eyes on her things would never be the same. I just want to go back to the way things were, but I knew that wasn't gon' happen no ways soon. I was so deep in thought as I listened to the words of the song, that I didn't realize that I was headed in the direction of my house.

I knew it was inevitable, but I just needed some clarity in hopes that it would ease my pain. I turned into the driveway, shutting the car off. I stepped out and ran my hand across my waves. I walked up to the door and stuck the key in the lock. I stepped inside and it was quiet. I walked up the stairs and went into Ty's room. As soon as he saw me he ran to me.

"Daddy!"

I picked him up, hugging and kissing him. I missed him so much and I knew that he missed me too. "Where's mommy?"

He lifted his hand and pointed to the bedroom door. I nodded and sat him down. "Go play and I'm going to talk to mommy. I will see you in a lil while."

"Okay." He took off back into his room.

I smiled and shook my head. He was so full of energy. I took a long deep breath and finally walked into the bedroom. When I opened the door Ned was coming out of the bathroom wrapped in nothing but a towel. My eyes scanned her body. I mentally groaned and shook the thoughts off that were in my head.

"Nedra."

"T-Twan....."

Valerie

"What are you doing here Val?" Camille asked as she took a seat.
