Chapter
Twelve
~The Next Day~
I was all alone. Trey was at work...as usual and Gabby
was at her daycare. I have never felt so alone in my life. I sat and stared
at the TV. Everything was perfect two days ago. Things can really get fucked
up in one day. What the hell was I gonna tell Trey?
The doorbell broke me out of my trance. I got up and
went to go answer the door.
"Hey," AJ said. "Can I please come in? We need to
talk."
I just muttered something and moved aside so he could
enter.
"First of all," he said as he sat down, "I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for not being a good boyfriend. I'm sorry for not being there when
you needed me most."
"It hurt, AJ. It hurt so bad. Just to know that the
person you would willingly give your life for doesn't love you back. Do you
know how much pain it put me through? I tried to kill myself. Our daughter
is the only reason I'm living right now." I couldn't hold back the tears
anymore. They cascaded down my cheeks like an overflowing dam.
He encircled me in his arms. "I'm so sorry," he said,
repeating those three words over and over as he rocked me back and forth.
"I love you so much. Please forgive me?"
I looked up at his teary brown eyes. I could never
hate him. I loved him and Gabby more than anything in this world. I reached
up and caressed the side of his face. "I love you too," was all I said before
I kissed him.
By this kiss, he knew I had forgiven him and that I
loved him with all of my heart. He eagerly responded my kisses. My fingers
itched to touch and explore every square inch of his marvelous body. He left
a trail of kisses from my shoulder up to my earlobe.
"AJ," I said in a breathless breath, "make love to
me."
He stopped kissing me and looked into my eyes. "Are
you sure?"
I just nodded. He scooped me up in his arms and carried
me to the bedroom...
