Caleb smiled contentedly as he opens Latoya's front door. He was just with Aisha, she told him that she was still hurt by what he did but she was still in love with him and was willing to take things slowly, slowly, he really didn't do slow but for her, he was willing to try.
Biting his lips to suppress his smile he ran up the stairs. "Hi, sexy." He said putting a bunch of red roses and a big box of Chocolate he had bought for her on her bed. "Going somewhere?" He asks looking at the suitcases next to her bed.
"Yes, as far away from you as possible." She replied angrily. "Oh I get it, your hormones acting up again." He chuckles. "Well maybe these will cheer you up, I know how much you love Chocolate."
"How thoughtful, men usually buy their girlfriend roses and Chocolate because they love them, but you do it because you have the money to and of course to make up for the fact that you're a lying, disgusting bastard." She said her back turn to him.
"And what makes me so disgusting?" He asks chuckling. "I'm glad you find this amusing Caleb, you and your many sexual partners can continue laughing about it after I'm gone."
"What many sexual partners are you talking about, for God's sake, don't start sounding like Maya on me." He said rolling his eyes. "Oh you mean your wife?" She snaps chucking shoe after shoe into the suitcase in front of her.
That throws him for a loop for a few seconds. How the hell did she find out that he was married? He thought swearing under his breath. He's really in for it now but he was good at talking his way out of tough situations and this was just another obstacle that he'll have to jump over.
"Alright listen…." "To what? More of your lies; because let's be honest, that's all you do, lie, every word out of your mouth is a lie. So tell me, were you ever going to tell me you married that bitch." She asks cutting his explanation short. "Or were you going to keep me in the dark about that too like you did about your graduation party that I wasn't invited to, by the way?" She asks without even looking at him.
Damn, it was worse than he thought. For weeks now she has been engrossed in her pregnancy, his money, and her work that she hardly had time for anything else but now it seems she had spent the last couple of hours catching up on all that she had missed out on.
"Baby just listen to me for a sec….." "Oh just shut up Caleb." She snaps shaking herself as if she was shivering from cold wind. She then took up an envelope and threw it at him. "Curtsey of your wife. She stormed into my salon this afternoon huffing and puffing, and after proving to me that she was indeed your wife she handed me those.
I'm not going to stand here and act like I'm not hurting right now Caleb because I am but payback is a bitch isn't it?" She snorts as she observed the look of utter shock on Caleb's face.
"Nice positions, that private detective that your wife hired was very thorough, now my employee I can understand but your sister-in-law, now that was low, even for you." She said passing him and taking her slippers from under a table.
"I got pregnant on purpose because I thought that it was the one thing I could do to keep you for myself, you know, be on the same level she was, be as important to you as she was, so I could boost to my friends that see, I won and he's mine. Using a baby to trap a man, stupid right? But I did it."
Caleb was rocking his brain trying to find the right words to explain away what he was looking at but there was none, there was nothing he could say to justify the photos in his hands and if Latoya was this pissed, then he didn't even want to think of how angry Maya must be right now. His dad was right, he would lose custody of his daughter and it was all his fault.
"I was with you before all these bitches, me. For you to marry that twit and not even have the decency to tell me, tears me up more than anything else you could ever do to me, and you had the nerve to stand there and tell me you belong to no one! That's a lie, you belong to her, until death do you part! Shit, I was so stupid, wasting all this time with you, thinking we could actually have a future." She said glaring at him.
"Baby…." "Not another word out of you! Just put the keys to my house on my table and get the hell out Caleb! Now." "Can you at least tell me where you're going and when you'll be back." He asks crushing the photos in his hand.
"Nothing I do from this day forward is any of your business. Now get the fuck out of my house Caleb Jackson, I'm done with you! Get it, done."
He was about to say something else when his phone rings. "Your wife is calling, better go before…." "It's my sister." He said cutting her off. "I don't give a shit who it is, get out!" She screams throwing the roses at him.
Taking a deep breath, he put her keys on the table and left.
