"What's wrong with him?" Fabian asks observing Ty's attitude. "Caleb got mad at him a minute ago, he even said the f word to him and chase him from his room because of what Maya said." She said in a sad tone.
In a second Fabian's cup was on the counter and he was going up the stairs two at a time no doubt to beat some sense into his stupid brother.
Fabian was almost to Caleb's room when Caleb came dashing from his room and run past him at full speed taking the stairs three at a time to get downstairs to Ty before he leaves. Ty had just composed himself and was about to drive off down the driveway when Caleb run in front of his vehicle causing him to step on his breaks.
"Yes, I'm an ass and I can be a colossal asshole sometimes but you already know that right?" He said grabbing onto Ty's hand through the window as Ty narrows his eyes at him.
"I'm sorry brother, I didn't mean it, you didn't deserve that, please forgive me, I made this mess and I promise you, I'll fix this, please say you forgive me, brother, please." He pleads. For a moment Ty said nothing he just sit there staring at him.
"Ty you're as close to perfect as perfect can be and I love you for who you are and yes it hurts when people compare me to you, I could live for a thousand years and never come close to being the type of person you are." He said ruffling Ty's hair.
"I love you little brother and I'm sorry for everything I just said." He said and was about to walk away but Ty grabs his hand. "I forgive you." He said softly. "Thank you, it won't happen again I promise," Caleb said bowing to Ty. "Hmm-hmm," Ty mumbles shaking his head as he drives off. "I'm an ass, I know, I know." He said as he passes his family members with scowls on their faces.

An hour later Latoya opens her door and smiled as she saw Caleb standing there. "Hi, baby." She coos with a seductive smile but he just snorts as he slowly walks past her but as soon as she closes the door she gasps as she found herself being pressed up against the door with his hand around her throat.
She opens her mouth to speak but the look in his eyes made her close it again without saying a word. "What the fuck were you thinking sending Maya that video?" He sneers angrily. "Ca…baby…plea…you're….hurtin….me." She gasps again and he loosens his grip on her.
"I just wanted her to know that you belong to me, that's all." She gasps again. "Get this through your damn skull, I belong to no one." He growls his minty breath fanning her cheeks, he then moves away from her and folds his thick arms across his chest.
"Do you have any idea what you have done? She's the mother of my child and she has the power to take my child from me. She won't take my calls, I went by her mother's house before coming here and she won't let me see my child."
"She moved out?" She asks in surprise. "What did you think she was going to do Latty?" "I don't know, come after me cuss me out, I don't know but after everything you have given her and done for her she just walk out on you, I don't understand."
"Well she did and is now keeping my child from me because of you" He sneers coldly. "I'm sorry Caleb." "Trust me, not as sorry as you're going to be if I lose custody of my daughter because of what you did." He said walking towards the door.
"What about our trip to Montego Bay for the weekend?" She asks when he opens the door. "That's off, avoid me for the next two weeks, I need to fix this mess before I lose my child." "Two weeks Caleb? I can't survive without you for two weeks." "Then suffer you will, you can thank your twitchy fingers for that." He then slams her door shut behind him.

Half an hour later he came to a stop at Maya's gate, enters her yard, and knocks on the door. Her older sister opens it and lets him in and told him where to find her. He found her in a room packing her bag for class and for a moment he just stood there watching her.
She then turns and freezes. "Before you throw me out just please hear me out." He pleads. "What do you want Caleb?" She asks angrily. "You and my daughter back in our home." He said coming towards her.
"No, now please stay away, I've nothing left to say to you." "But I have a lot to say to you Maya, I'm sorry, I was an ass, my win went to my head and I acted like an ass, I hurt you and for that, I'm so sorry, please forgive me, give me a second chance and I'll make it up to you, I promise, wild cat please." He pleads kneeling in front of her.
"You and I want different things Caleb, I want to give my life to God, get married, and live a peaceful life with my husband and kids, you want the fast and flashy lifestyle which involves a lot of girls, so go have fun, Annalee and I will be fine." She said moving away from him.
"That's not what I want anymore, I need you and my child, Maya please, I need you, move back home please." "Okay I'll think about it, now I've to get to class." She took up her bag and turn to leave but he grabs her and kisses her passionately, for a few seconds she responds to him hungrily but then pulls away.
"Remember how hard you worked to get me in your bed?" She asks against his lips. "Yes." "Well, you're going to have to work twice as hard to earn my forgiveness." She said and walks away but then stops. "You can pick your daughter up from preschool and keep her until my class ends." She said over her shoulder before leaving.
"Yes," He says to himself triumphantly as a wide smile spread across his face.
