Forever and a Day (17 page)

"Shit, I never kissed any one like that, she replied, you kissed me so crazy I'm sleepy as hell right now."

"Then lets go to sleep before we both do something that you're ass can't get out of," he smiled.

              Chloe thought Tyrese was going to leave out the room, but to her surprise he pulled her close to his chest and kissed her lips and her cheek. Chloe knew she was suppose to be pissed off with Tyrese for having another girlfriend. She figured, this would be the last night they would have together so why not. Come tomorrow they will have their conversation and their journey together will be over. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

~~~~~

              As soon as Chloe woke up, she had an instant headache and she looked around trying to remember where the hell she ended up last night. She looked for something familiar to see which one of her girls’ house she spent the night at. She couldn't figure out, until she heard the door open and Tyrese appeared. She thought the hot kiss her and Tyrese shared was a dream, but it was definitely a reality. 

"Good Morning Sleepy Head," Tyrese greeted her.

"Morning, what time is it?" Chloe asked.

"A little after 12, I didn't want to wake you up. You looked so peaceful like you haven't been to sleep in days," he laughed.

"It sure has felt like it. Can you run out to my car and get my gym bag, so I can shower and change? Do you have an extra toothbrush and wash cloth?" she asked.

"Yeah, It's in the joint bathroom. I'll go get your bag, you can get in the shower." Tyrese said to her.

"Thank you," she smiled. 

             
She went inside the bathroom turned the water on hot, and got in and put her whole head under the water. She wanted to wash, have this talk with Tyrese and then go home to nurse her hangover. Just as she began to wash, the bathroom door opened and Tyrese put her bag on the floor and said, "when your done come downstairs my shorty, just got here." Chloe thought her mind was playing tricks on her. There was absolutely no way he had her upstairs and another bitch downstairs. She just knew her morning was going to start bad. She wasn't about to sit back and let Tyrese play her. She quickly washed and put on her yoga pants and tank top. She was dressed for the occasion if ole girl decided to get stupid. 

             
As Chloe began to walk down the stairs with her gym bag on, she noticed that the TV was on in the living room, but no one was in there. As she started to walk to the kitchen, she heard laughter. When she got to the kitchen all she saw was Tyrese back towards her. She cleared her throat to make her presence known. Tyrese turned around and smiled at Chloe, “Hey Chlo, there’s somebody I want you to meet.”

             
Before Chloe was about to decline her invitation to meet his new chick, she saw the prettiest dark skin brown skin little girl hop off the kitchen counter and walk to her.

“Hi, my name is Tiana, I am five. What’s your name?” Tiana introduced herself.

“Hello cutie, I’m Chloe.” Chloe said bending down and smiling at Tiana

“My daddy made breakfast for us, lets go to my table and eat,” Tiana said grabbing onto Chloe’s hand to lead her to the table.

“So Chloe, are you my daddy’s girlfriend,” Tiana asked catching Chloe off guard.

“I’m your dad’s friend.” Chloe said to the little girl.

“Oh, my dad said you’re his girlfriend. Right dad?” Tiana said.

“I did tell you that and you know I don’t tell you stories that aren’t true. Chloe will definitely be daddy’s girlfriend,” Tyrese said smiling at both Tiana and Chloe.

“Chloe, will you be my dad’s girl friend? He said you make him smile and that you know all his secrets,” Tiana asked.

“Oh really? He told you all that?” Chloe smiled at
Tyrese’s twin.

“Yes, he did. He told me when I got home from my grandma house,” Tiana nodded. She was too smart for her age, but she was definitely daddy’s little girl. She liked to see her dad smile.

“Well, I think your dad and I have to talk before I can be his girlfriend.” Chloe said eating the food that Tyrese had cooked.

“That’s good enough for me,” Tyrese said.

Breakfast with Tiana and Tyrese was very entertaining. Tiana told Chloe about all her friends and teachers at school. She talked about all her new clothes that her father bought her. As she was talking, Chloe couldn’t help but smile at the little advance girl she was sitting next too. She could tell by the way Tyrese talked to her, that Tiana had him wrapped around her finger. After breakfast, Tiana told Tyrese and Chloe she was going in the living to watch Princess & the Frog. She wanted them to come watch the movie with her, so they agreed that they would after they finished talking.

“Your daughter is beautiful Ty.” Chloe complimented Tiana.

“Thank you, that’s my heart right there,” Tyrese responded.

“So I have a serious question. Why didn’t you tell me you had a daughter?” Chloe asked.

“I wasn’t hiding it if that’s what your thinking. I was going to tell you everything, but then Tiana got really sick and she was in the hospital. So I checked out on everybody and spent all my time with her.” Tyrese explained.

“What happen to her?” Chloe wanted to know.

“She had a fever that wouldn’t go away. So I tried to break her fever, but it wouldn’t go down. Then when we went to the hospital, she was admitted for a severe flu virus. That’s why I didn’t come to Shanice’s party,” He let her know.

“Where’s her mother? Why didn’t she help you?” Chloe said being nosey.

“She doesn’t have a mother. The woman who gave birth to her didn’t want anything to do with her, so I’m Tiana’s only parent,” Tyrese said shocking Chloe.

“What do you mean she didn’t want anything to do with her? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“I don’t mind telling you, you’re my girlfriend. She was so focused on living her life to the fullest that she said a child would slow her down. First she wanted to abort Tiana but I told her I would kill her before I let her kill my child. So she carried Tiana for 9 months and after that she sign over her rights to me and disappeared.” Tyrese explained.

“Wow! What kind of woman does that?” Chloe asked.

“A selfish ass one. Tiana never asked to be conceived, but once she was I knew that I would take care of her no matter what. Like I said before if it wasn’t for Tiana I wouldn’t be the man sitting in front of you now.” Tyrese stressed.

             
Chloe got up from her chair and walked over to Tyrese and stood between his legs and smiled and said yes.

“What you saying yes for ma?” Tyrese asked confused.

“Yes, I am your girlfriend. You are incredible and I love that,” Chloe said kissing him on the lips.

“Thanks ma. I appreciate the compliment,” Tyrese said picking Chloe up and taking her in the living room.

“Tiana, guess what?” Tyrese said.

“What dad, the girl just turned into a frog because she kissed the frog,” Tiana explained the movie.

“Chloe is daddy’s girlfriend,” he smiled.

“Yay, Chloe’s pretty.” Tiana hopped up and gave Chloe a hug.

“You’re pretty too,” Chloe smiled.

“Thank you, now can we watch the Princess and the Frog?” Tiana said reminding them about the movie.

Chloe and Tyrese looked at each other and smiled. “Yes we can,” they both said to Tiana and sat down to watch the movie.

Chapter 23

“You know what I’ll leave, but this shit is definitely not over you can believe that shit” - Kris

Brielle knew she had to talk to Kris sooner rather than later to discuss the fate of their relationship. She had thought long and hard about her decision. Kris was a nice businessman as well as nice boyfriend. He just wasn't the boyfriend she wanted or needed. She made all the decisions in their relationship and all he did was agree and run with it. They had dated two months too long and she was ready to move on. She checked her cell phone to see if she had a text from Kris announcing his arrival, however she had texts from mostly everybody but him.

Shanice: Hey mamas, I’m just checking in on you. I miss you.

Jaiden "Murder": Wassup shorty, Imu! Come through later. <3

Sabriya: Hey Bri. I love you. I have something to show you that I need your thought on.

Kiyan: We need to talk ma. I'll be over after this studio session is over. This is serious so no you can't take a rain check on this.

Brielle sighed. Kiyan message had her confused. What the hell did he have to discuss that was so damn urgent that he couldn’t wait until tomorrow to discuss. She didn’t want to have two serious conversations in on night. Brielle ignored Kiyan and Murder’s text and responded back to Sabriya and Shanice. She missed her girls; they knew how to keep her sane. She then called Danni to talk.

“Hey girl,” Danni answered excited.

“Hey mamas, are you busy?”

“Girl bye, when am I ever?”

“Always Danni, I’m shocked you’re not at work or at home working.”

“I know right, I left work early and went to the spa. I was so damn stressed I fired my assistant. I had to call the poor little girl back to apologize and rehired her.”

“Danni, you didn’t,” Brielle said laughing.

“Yes the hell I did, her ass started crying talking all sad. I just looked at her ass and closed my damn door.”

“That is not right girl.”

“I know that’s why I called and apologized.”

“I hope so girl, you are something else,” Brielle said continuing to laugh while mimicking Kevin Hart.

“Don’t I know it? But how are you? You sound just as stressed as I was. Everything okay at work?” Danielle questioned.

“Everything is fine at work, it’s everything outside of work that’s stressing me the hell out,” Brielle sighed.

“Talk to me, what’s going on?”

“Girl I’m about to break up with Kris. Now Kiyan talking about we have to talk about some serious shit that can’t wait until tomorrow. Then,
Murder clueless ass texted me talking about, hey shorty I miss you, come through later. I feel like my luck with men is nonexistent ”

“Damn girl and why are you just now calling me. Why are you breaking up with Kris?”

“Girl he don’t need a girlfriend, he looking for something to replace his damn mother. He want you to tell him what to do and I don’t have no damn kids to be constantly guiding him through life,” Brielle explained.

“Oh hell no. Tell that nigga if he want all that he need to be dating his damn mother. What the hell he think this is,” Danielle said.

“Exactly my point. This shit got old real fast,” Brielle said.

“Well you know what you gott
a do, don’t let nothing his boojie ass say make you change your mind. You know he slick with the words, that’s why your ass started dating him in the first place,” Danielle laughed.

“ Ha
ha ha, funny, but I’m not. His ass gotta go. We could be friends, but that’s all we’ll ever be,” Brielle told her best friend.

“Do your thang girl, call me when you’re done so I can laughed at his reactions. I’m staying at Cam’s tonight so hit me on my Blueberry,”

“Danni, you need to grow the hell up. You still calling you’re phone, Blueberry?” Brielle laughed.

“Girl, yes. You know Blueberry and I have been through everything together. She never lets me down,” Danni laughed referring to her navy blue Blackberry.

“Bye, girl. Kris should be here any minute,” Brielle said.

“Bye mama, don’t forget to call me. I want to laugh,” Danni reminded Bri.

“I won’t,” Bri said ending the call.

             
Brielle was ready to be done with Kris. She was just waiting until he got there for everything to go down. She didn’t want to hear nothing from him, but an agreement to part ways. Brielle sat down and started watching Kevin Hart’s
Imma Grown Little Man
.

She was just starting to laugh when, her doorbell rung. She got up to open the door for Kris.

“How are you Brielle?” Kris said coming into Brielle’s house kissing her cheek and handing her flowers.

“Thank you for the flowers, I’m good. How are you?” Brielle responded.

“I’m great. Business is doing better than expected,” Kris said.

“That’s good, come in the living room so we could talk,” Brielle said.

“Okay, what’s the problem baby? Are you okay? You’re starting to scare me.”

“I’m good. But I have a lot of stuff on my mind. I have a lot of things stressing me out that I’m slowly trying to get rid of or help with.” Brielle started.

“Anything I can help you with?” Kris questioned.

“Apart of what’s stressing me out is our relationship. I think you are a great guy and you will make any lady happy, but I don’t think I’m the woman for you,” Brielle began.

“So what are you saying? I can change. We can make this work. I really believe this is the beginning of something new. I don’t want to end it now,” Kris said.
