19. Just Can't Stay Away

Here I am baby
Right back in your arms
What is it 'bout your love
That draws me to you
And though this is not the first time, baby
I ever wanted to get away, no
Oh but the magic of your love
Just would not let me stray

She stormed out of the party after M'Liyah insulted her relationship. She was not trying to hear that right now. She was hurting, and instead of trying to be her friend and comforting her, she treated her like her life was nothing. She never had an issue with M'Liyah before, she liked her from the jump when she first met her, but now...she wanted to smack the bitch.

She went to her room and let herself in and was surprised to see Anthony sitting on her sofa.

"What the fuck are you doing here, man? In my room? Who let you in? Security!" Not like she had any security with her, but she for damn sure could go get some to get this fool out of her room.

"Baby, come, on, just listen to me," he said walking up to her, but as soon as he was close enough she slapped the taste out his mouth.

"You lying cheating bastard, ain't shit you got to say with me."

"All right girl damn, you got that out your system? You wanna play tough girl? Mel, I know you, and that ain't you. You're mad and you hurt...because of me, and I'm just trying to make this right."

"Fuck you! Go to that bitch and beg to her," she said, walking away from him. "Why the fuck would you marry me if you fucking around on me? You making me look like a damn fool in these streets."

"Baby, I ain't fucking around on you, that was just the one time, I made a mistake and-"

"A mistake? One time? That bitch was blowing up my phone talking about she was with you all week and shit y'all was doing. Bitch, bye!"

"Okay, okay look, I was with her all week, but I wasn't fucking her all week."

This man could not lie worth a damn. Cheating was mother fucking cheating whether you getting your dick sucked or just Netflixing with her, he wasn't with her.

"We were smoking and partying and shit. She danced in the video I was working on and then we just...I don't know, kinda started hanging."

"So you fucking some dancer? Some dancer that worked with me? She bet not be one of my back-up dancers."

"What? Naaw babe...that's not...look, she just some random. I fucked up, it was me. I'll admit that, but I love you, baby. I wanta fix this. We can fix this. I would do whatever baby. Let me know."

"Hell no, get out!"

"Melodie, baby, you know I been in love with you day one and you felt the same, we can't just throw that all away."

"You did when you stuck yo dick in some broad," she said. "You know what? Why am I still talking to you?"

She took off her wedding ring and sat it on the table. She crossed her arms across her chest and stared at him.

"Melodie!"

"What?"

He walked over to her and she stepped back from him. He walked up to her some more and she backed up against the wall. He stared down at her. She refused to look up at him.

"Baby, if you look at me and tell me it's over, I'll walk away, but you need to look at me and tell me in my face."

She refused to look up at him. He knew her weakness. She thought he was damn fine and his dark eyes were pools of lust for her. If she looked at him, her panties would be wet.
