Keisha never questioned Terrance after he gave a clear explanation of who he was and she really had no reason to. Her small chat with Renee woke her up to a few things, she couldn't be mad about the new info "protect thy queen" as one would say. Keisha worried in a different way "rehab" was the word that stuck out to her did this mean Renee was hurt by the product she'd let Keisha know he was serving ? that meant it could go further, would she really fuck up her friends happy home?. "Why the sad face?" asked Terrance as he entered their new kitchen "nothing babe I'm trying to figure out what to cook tonight how was your day you hungry?" Keisha didn't even bother to mention the text she and Renee had passed, kissing his hand leaning upon their counter "yeah I am but I need to handle something, any calls today?" keeping her on her toes with their at home business "Yes a few I haven't had the line on" she had taken a break for the day. Keisha was ready to confess she didn't like secrets "so the money from your mother is still put away I spent a little on our new living room set but..." Keisha was fishing for a way to say "how else do you make money?" but it just didn't make sense as she looked him in the eye for sincerity "I don't want you to trip about it she gave it to us really you have a lot to do being my woman you have to stay on your toes she know your situation before me so I guess it was just her way of saying "stay down" you in" , Keisha chuckled "oh really well how down? ...Anyway I have to go to the city this week I need to grab some things from the mall" "THE MALL?" Terrance asked as if it was a new place he had never heard of "yes the mall" Keisha replied she then walked to their bedroom and grabbed her phone she showed him a new job offering "I also have this going on up there" he smiled then looked around the house doing a full circle in front of her "THIS IS YOUR JOB KEISHA" without a reply she grabbed her keys and went for the door grabbing her pocketbook from the closet when suddenly the walk in closet light went off.
This was it Keisha was done in her mind, was this happiness? was this some kinda control game? "I lost my mom not my dad and I'm sick of the shit" she walked out and drove off. Answering the phone after the 7th call "what do you want?" she screamed at Terrance he was behind her in his work truck she slowed down she wasn't running she was removing herself from the situation. "I want you and you need to turn around, you really do" his voice came through so clear her body caught a chill "Do I? do I need to keep like keep being played with do you want me or do you want what I can do?" "What the hell are you talking about Keisha? turn the car around we both do the same and I mean you not working I don't know why you want to take yourself down a drain like this but turn around ....before I do."
She felt his words in her heart pulling over to look him in the eyes as he pulled up "I'm done being lied to" she had slight tears but she was never a sucka Keisha got off hiding her pain "No you not but it's cool I doubt it's something you need to know" driving off to make a U-turn toward their home she did the same she'd still not been clear about the text and as she pulled up to their new home she deleted Renee's text and number. She soaked in a bubble bath telling him all about it everything, everything except the accusation "You know Renee talking bout she want to go to rehab not sure what that shit is all about but I feel bad not being by her side" Keisha nubbed towards the issue but still not fully mentioning the selling's of the coke to her friend. "Renee is very out there baby I mean I can't say you being happy with a MAN is not the issue but I don't want you to blame yourself ......wow Rehab huh?" "yeah but it's nothing to stress I feel bad for her coke man I'd think those places would want you to flip on your dealer" giggling a bit then grabbing his hand again from the side of the tub "I'm so happy you don't live that lifestyle anymore if you ever need anything we can work it out I appreciate you and love you I just want to be" Terrance love how smooth that sound coming from the woman he had chosen to marry kissing her head he replied "I got you".
