Free Lost in His Love 3 by Shantay Page B

thought that he changed but I guess not.”
    “He got us fucked up!” Jasmine said standing up getting ready to curse Donte out but Mariah pulled her back down.
    “Chill out,” Mariah said.
    “I just can’t see him cheating on you Mariah. If that’s the case brother or not he’s dumb as fuck!” Kaylen said.
    “I’m not sure but I haven’t been feeling him lately. I’m damn near thirty and I feel like I’m wasting my time. We’ve been together for years, I held his ass down, I have his daughter, and still yet it’s not like he can fully commit to me. We aren’t going to ever get married,” Mariah said shaking her head.
    “Don’t say that girl. It could be nothing and you might just be tripping,” Kaylen tried to defend her brother.
    “If it is something you know I don’t mind fucking shit up for my sis,” Jasmine said.

Chapter 14
    Mariah couldn’t go to sleep because Donte wasn’t home and it was going on two in the morning. One thing about Mariah she will never nag Donte, she’ll just leave him quietly with his guilt. She had called Jasmine earlier to check to see if Donte was at her house but he wasn’t. She made the same phone call to Kaylen and he wasn’t there either. His phone went straight to voicemail earlier and she didn’t bother to call again.
    A tear rolled down her cheek as she tried to fight back the other tears. She didn’t want to be crying over him. She was too grown to be dealing with these games. She knew the kind of life Donte lived before they got together. Never once did she try to change him he did that on his own because he wanted to do it.
    Here she was sitting in this big ass house but at the same time it was so empty. She hasn’t been happy ever since they came back from Cabo. The voice of the woman who called Donte’s phone was embedded in her mind and she’ll never forget it. She knew for sure that Donte was out being shady again but what could she do about it? She was a full time mom. She didn’t work anymore and all she did was take care of the house and Mila.
    She heard the alarm disarm in the midst of her thoughts. She didn’t move an inch she just sat in the same position she has been in for the last two hours. She heard him coming up the stairs and when he entered in the room he didn’t even look at her. She continued to look at him to make sure that he saw how late she stayed up to see when he came home.
    “Wassup?” Donte finally said.
    Mariah didn’t utter a word. He shrugged his shoulders and undressed from out of his clothes. He plugged his phone on the charger and sat it on the nightstand. He went into the bathroom to take a shower before he got in bed. Mariah felt like she was slowly losing all of her faith inside. His phone vibrated with a text this late. Mariah didn’t even have the strength to look at his phone to see who it was texting him. They say don’t go searching for something you don’t want to find.
    When Donte came out of the bathroom he turned off the lights and jumped into bed right next to Mariah. She turned her back to him and silently cried herself to sleep. Something had to give. She couldn’t keep living her life like this.

Chapter 15
    A week went by so fast for Kaylen and Ice. They had one hell of a week. Since they were in a relationship now they were opening up to each other on new levels. They still had a lot more to learn about each other. Whenever Ice had to go back home Kaylen hated it. Ice took off a week something he never did before when it came to his money.
    “Why you always gotta do that?” Ice asked as Kaylen whined all morning.
    “I don’t want you to go,” she pouted.
    “You know I can’t--”
    “You can’t stay blah blah blah I know,” she flopped down on the bed and grabbed the remote to watch T.V.
    Ice waved her off because if it were left to Kaylen she would move him to L.A. with no questions asked. Ice thought about their living situation all the time. They were both on two opposite sides of
