The Promises He Made

^Chapter 48^

Chanelle's p.o.v

I came back to the house about an hour later. I guess everyone got the hint that the party was over because by the time I got back everyone was gone.

I laid on the couch quietly and gathered my thoughts. I sat replaying the events that occurred over and over again in my mind. It doesn't make any sense. Why would my life go on these past 5 years so well up until this point if it was all gonna come to a stop outta nowhere? Last time I checked I was good. I ain't did no wrong in a while. Therefore I'm not understanding why I'm being punished.

I pushed the thought to the back of my mind as I began straightening the house back up. After cleaning for about thirty minutes I finished the kitchen and the backyard. As I emptied the last of the trash I was startled as I turned to see Deandre standing by the door.

"Hey." He stated softly with a nod.

"Hey." I respond lowly as I tied the trash and set it by the door.

"Where you been?" He asks looking at me.

"Out." I respond.

He nods and scratches the back of his neck awkwardly.

"So.... You still want me to move in?" He asks unsurley.

I laugh slightly as I walk toward him.

"Deandre I'm mad at you. I'm not breaking up with you. Yes I still want you to move in with me. I'm just mad that you thought it would be a good idea to keep things from me. I mean I thought our relationship was different. I ain't never think you would do something like that." I state folding my arms over my chest.

"I know baby and I'm sorry. And our relationship is different. I just wasn't thinking." He comes closer to me.

"I mean how would you feel if you had a child or children by a woman and then you and your kids were abandoned by that woman. And then years later she shows up and I don't tell you about it?" I question.

"I know baby. Aight, I got it. I didn't think. Okay? I'm sorry." He says again.

"You better be." I joke somewhat as he hugs me.

"I promise I won't lie to you ever again." He states kissing the top of my head.

"Mmkay." I state as I lay my head on his chest and he kisses my head.

"Where are the kids?" I ask pulling away from him.

"They in they rooms watching tv." He states. I nod and pull away from him before I went to sit on the couch.

"So where'd you'd go?" Deandre asks following behind me.

"Just for a drive. I just drove down to the lake and sat in my car. That's it." I shrug. He nods.

"So what you and your baby daddy talk about?" He asks out of the random.

"A bunch of bull shit... He was telling me how he messed up when we were younger. How he'll give Justice and I the world if I gave him a chance. But mostly how he wants me back." I state looking at my lap.

"And what did you say?"

"Well before I could tell him 'oh HELL TO THE NAH!', JJ walked up. He called me mommy and Hakeem was confused and I told him if he'd give us the world he'd have to split it three ways since Justice is a twin." I state.

"And what did he say?"

"Nothing. He just looked at JJ. And I slammed the door in his face." I state looking into my lap.
