Majesty ain't pregnant. I made that clear in chapter 37. Y'all want her to be sooo bad 😭. Just because she was crying doesn't mean she's pregnant. Last chapter she had a mental breakdown.

Also, happy Halloween!

Majesty A. Collins

My fingers ran through my hair as I finished putting the mix of Shea Moisture hair milk and and coconut oil in my hair. My curls are popping! A smirk appeared on my face as I stared at myself through the mirror.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Keiara frowned from behind me.

Sighing, I turned my body towards hers. "Yes. He's my husband, I should at least hear him out."

"I swear if you even let him touch you..."

I rolled my eyes and sat on the edge of the bed so I could put my black sandals on.

Keiara really disapproved with me meeting up with Alex for lunch. But this is my choice, and I have to be the bigger person. We're married by law. I also don't want to hold grudges. Forgiveness is the key.

"You didn't tell him where I live, right?" Keiara asked cautiously as she followed me down the narrow hall.

"No." I rolled my eyes once again. Why can't she just calm the hell down?! "I'm not even riding with him."

Keiara let out a breath of relief once those words left my lips. She's so damn paranoid. He probably already knows where she lives anyway.

Mumbling a goodbye, I quickly departed her apartment. I decided on the stairs instead of the elevator. Elevators take way too long and I don't mind a little exercise.

An elderly man came into view as he was walking the opposite way of me. I sent him a small smile and mumbled hi. He returned the kind gesture and continued to climb the stairs.

The chilly air made the hairs on my arms stand up as soon as I stepped outside. Although the sun was out, it was still somewhat cold. I began to wish I brought a jacket with me, but there's no use in me going all the way back up just to get a jacket. It's not like I'll be outside for long anyways. Unlocking my car, I hurried to the drivers side. The first thing I did when I got in was lock the doors since I'm so paranoid. And people are crazy! Like, really  crazy. Who knows what people today are capable of.

I parked in the closest available spot at iHop before turning my ignition off. I stole a quick look at myself in the rearview mirror before exiting my car. It may be half past twelve, but it's never too late to eat breakfast. My sandals made an annoying tapping sound as I sauntered behind the hostess. As soon as I turned the corner our eyes met. My entire body began to feel warmer than usual and my stomach fluttered. His hair was still blonde, it hasn't even faded since he's been in jail. I slid into the opposite side of the booth as Alex never tore his eyes away from me. He took his bottom lip under his top one, but quickly stopped all while staring at me.
